Combined Heat and Power
Combined Heat & Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, allows you to produce electricity and usable heat from a single natural-gas system — dramatically increasing efficiency while reducing operating costs and emissions.
Instead of wasting heat like traditional power generation, CHP captures it and puts it to work for space heating, hot water, or industrial processes — achieving up to 90% total system efficiency.
How CHP Works
Key Benefits
Lower Energy Costs
Reduce total energy bills by 20–40% by avoiding high grid electricity prices and reusing heat.
On-Site Power Security
Operate independently from the grid — no blackouts, no downtime.
Massive Efficiency Gains
Traditional systems operate at 30–50% efficiency. CHP delivers 70–90% efficiency.
Reduced Emissions
Cuts CO₂ output by up to 50% through better fuel utilization.
Ideal for Cold Climates
Perfect for Alberta, BC, and Ontario where heating demand is high.
Where CHP Delivers the Biggest Impact
Alberta
-
Cheap natural gas + high electricity prices = major savings
-
Ideal for industrial sites, campuses, and recreation facilities
British Columbia
-
Best for reliability, remote locations, and process heat recovery
-
Strong performance paired with heat pumps and renewables
Ontario
-
Excellent hedge against high electricity rates
-
Popular in hospitals, factories, and commercial developments
