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 COâ‚‚ 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
