Member Spotlight
The Department of Energy's Southwest Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Technical Assistance Partnerships is providing no cost qualification screenings and project development assistance for CHP projects in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. These screenings are great for planning purposes for your plant. Combined heat and power, also known as cogeneration, provides both electric power and thermal energy (heat) from a single on-site source, such as a turbine or reciprocating engine. There is a lot of CHP potential at hospitals as they operate 24/7. The TAP also develops no cost webinars and presentations to provide education on how CHP can be used at hospitals. Please contact Gavin Dillingham, Director, to learn more about this screening. gdillingham@harcresearch.org
