I consult with clients on installing microturbines and/or other types of distributed generation plants at their business or on their property. Distributed generation microturbines can be fueled with natural gas, LP, biogas, propane, etc.. In my practice, distributed generation also includes renewable energy (wind, PV, solar thermal, etc.). Other types of distributed generation are possible. The electricity from distributed generation can provide the power to run your business (factory, farm, retail, commercial building or apartment building). Distributed generation replaces most of the electricity you now buy from your current electric energy retailer (Power Company). Co-generation distributed generation plants may be able to generate your business’ process heating, space heating, and/or, hot water heating. Make an appointment for a consultation to see if it is practical for you to install a distributed generation plant on your property. Go to My Contact Information 1 July 2008
