Is cogeneration right for my business?

If your facility has steady electricity and thermal needs, it’s likely a great fit.

Savings vary by facility size, usage patterns, and utility rate structure—but many commercial customers see significant reductions in both energy supply costs and PJM capacity charges. We’ll model your potential savings during the assessment process so you can make an informed decision.
