WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen^® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), provider of clean energy products which, through patented technology, nearly eliminate criteria pollutants and significantly reduce a customer's carbon footprint, today announced the company has been contracted to evaluate 10 sites with in excess of 1 MW of potential for combined heat and power (CHP).

Benjamin Locke, Co-CEO of Tecogen noted, "Over the past 12 months the sales team has been laser focused on developing project partners that could bring regular business to Tecogen. These contracted feasibility and design studies could generate purchase orders of $3.5 - $4.5 million in new sales from repeat customers, demonstrating the value of our relationship building initiatives."

Ranging from education, to recreation, to multi-unit residential, the feasibility studies will evaluate the appropriateness of cogeneration equipment for a variety of sites and use cases.

"In general, a good fit for cogeneration is a site with a high and consistent heating load. You then size the CHP system for this thermal demand to generate maximum savings potential for the customer. Our work will evaluate the sites for suitability and recommend appropriately sized equipment and system designs. In the past, the majority of sites referred to us for feasibility study have resulted in eventual orders and we would expect a similar result with this work," Mr. Locke added.

Tecogen has shipped over 185 megawatts of ultra-efficient natural gas fueled equipment including combined heat and power, chillers, and heat pump capacity. The company's reliable machinery has generated over 7 billion kilowatt hours of energy - powering residential, commercial, recreational and industrial facilities worldwide.
