Combined Heat & Power (CHP)

Combined Heat & Power (CHP) is ability to generate your own on-site power and control your energy costs. CHP is the simultaneous production of electricity and useful ‘waste’ heat. Any facility that has significant thermal load requirements could be a technical fit for CHP.

CHP is a proven method to get you closer to your sustainability goals, thanks to fewer emissions, lower energy costs, and stable 24/7 power and thermal capabilities.
