For many facilities, Distributed
Generation and/or cogeneration systems are beginning to make sense once again.
ROI is the
lead Engineering firm involved in designing cogeneration systems for Arden Realty and
CommonWealth Partners for RealEnergy Incorporated.
The
RealEnergy Cogeneration Business model makes sense for many facility owners, as it adds
another source of revenue to their portfolio. Typically,
the cogeneration system is sized to serve the building base load, with no potential for
sale of power to the utility grid.
The systems
can be implemented in several fashions:
At
no cost to the owner - RealEnergy takes the full system risk, and the tenants pay the same
rates that they would have paid to the Utility provider.
The owner is paid an Access Fee to allow RealEnergy to install their equipment at the site, and have
access to their tenant base.
