If you’re conscious of energy efficiency and conservation measures, you likely know that certain sources are much “cleaner” than others. For example, burning oil does a lot more harm to the environment than harnessing wind or nuclear energy. You may also assume that the electricity you get from the traditional grid is always generated the same way, which couldn’t be further from the truth. In this blog, we’ll explain the process of “peaking” and the ways you can use combined heat and power (CHP) to reduce your reliance on the dirty grid while you improve your bottom line.

Flipping on a light switch takes less than a second—but have you ever thought about what it took for that energy to make its way to you? Electricity is something many of us take for granted, but when that energy is created by a traditional central power plant and sent over a network, some of that power is lost before it can reach its destination. In this blog, we will uncover the facts behind the energy loss that occurs when power plants transmit and distribute electricity, and why an onsite combined heat and power (CHP) system is more energy efficient.

Over the past few months, the price of energy sources such as natural gas, coal and oil has skyrocketed, taking electricity costs along for the ride. Your facility may already be feeling the effects—but as the cold winter approaches, the added costs could become even worse. Luckily, implementing a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system can help you reduce some of the impact of increased energy prices through improved operational efficiency.

Improve Your NY Facility by 2024 or Face Fines: We Can Help

A lot has happened in the two years since Local Law 97 (LL97) was enacted in the city of New York, so it stands to reason that some may have lost sight of the looming law set to take place in 2024 that will limit emissions from the city’s largest buildings in an effort to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Not to fear. If you’re a building owner that has not yet made facility improvements, you still have time to act—and we can help. In addition to ensuring you gain compliance with LL97, we can also lower your energy costs with our array of on-site energy solutions. Let’s dive into New York City’s Local Law 97 and the ways we can help you go (and save) green.

When considering green energy, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Most people might say renewable sources such as wind and solar; not a system that runs on natural gas. But that’s what makes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unique—despite its source, the U.S. Department of Energy recognizes it as part of the green energy solution that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to your facility’s sustainability goals. In this blog, we’ll explain how.

In 2021, we are celebrating the power of partnership, more specifically our ongoing partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This year marks the 30^th anniversary of the founding of Green Lights, the agency’s first ever Climate Partnership Program. In the three decades since, various EPA partnership programs have helped save Americans $500 billion and prevent more than 6 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. We are proud of this partnership, and we’re equally proud of the cost savings and energy-efficient equipment it helps us pass on to our customers.

Are you ready to earn cash incentives while lowering your energy bills? Here at Dalkia Aegis, EDF Group, we’re working alongside Delmarva Power to offer the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Program to business customers in Maryland. It’s all part of an effort to reduce the use of electricity delivered through the power grid while saving customers money and meeting overarching energy savings goals.

The energy landscape is constantly growing and changing—your facility’s current solutions will inevitably become outdated with the passage of time. As your combined heat and power (CHP) system grows older, you’ll need to decide whether you want to retrofit or replace your equipment. As your energy partner, we’ll help you realize the best cost savings with the most informed and financially responsible decision.

When you think of power outage related events, snowstorms or thunderstorms probably come to mind, but summer heatwaves can also be a common culprit. As temperatures start to rise, more and more people turn on their air conditioners and fans, overwhelming the power grid. We can help you make sure your facility is prepared for power outages this summer by decreasing your reliance on the grid through both combined heat and power (CHP) and microgrid solutions.
