CHP
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 600+ asset portfolio.
How CHP Works for Your Facility
A CHP system generates electricity onsite 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.
