Objective
✓ Provide CHP Program Update
• Incentive structure
• How to apply
• Incentive payout examples
✓ Informational Panels
• Mid Atlantic CHP Technical Assistance Partnership
• PGW
• Energy Solutions Center (mCHP)
• Project Development Resources
✓ Wrap up
What is Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
✓ CHP is a clean and efficient
approach to generate power and
thermal energy from a single fuel
source on the customer premises
• Typical CHP systems:
Are located in close proximity to the energy
consumer's building envelope, campus, or industrial
processes
Provide at least a portion of a facility's electrical
load
Capture thermal energy from hot exhaust gases for
use in space heating, cooling, domestic hot water,
dehumidification, and/or process heating
Improve a facility’s operational efficiency, reducing
overall energy costs and emissions

Good CHP Candidates
✓ Typically higher usage energy customers that possess a
thermal (steam requirement) in addition to their need for
electricity• Hospitals
• Retirement, Long Term Care Facilities
• Colleges
• Industrial Laundries
• Food Manufacturing
• C&I Processing Facilities (Refineries, Municipal Wastewater Treatment,
etc.)
• Mixed Use Commercial Office Buildings (Commercial Residential)
✓ Really any facility with an adequate thermal requirement
augmenting their need for electricity, or the desire to
utilize waste heat for heating, or cooling (absorption)
