CHP Combined Heat and Power
Combined Heat and Power
Most facilities pay twice for energy they could generate once.
CHP systems produce electricity and capture the heat that would otherwise be wasted — putting both to work in a single, fuel-efficient process. The result is lower energy costs, reduced grid dependence, and a system that keeps running when utility power doesn't.
E-Finity has been engineering and operating CHP installations since 1990. It's one of the core disciplines that built our 750+ asset portfolio.
How CHP Works for Your Facility
A CHP system generates electricity On-Site using a reciprocating engine or combustion turbine. The heat produced in that process — instead of being vented — is recovered and used for space heating, process heat, hot water, or cooling through an absorption chiller. Depending on the application, a well-designed CHP system can achieve total system efficiencies of 70–90%, compared to roughly 30–35% for grid-delivered power alone.
The economics are straightforward: you're buying less from the utility, getting more from every unit of fuel, and operating a system that runs independent of grid conditions.
