Tecogen Wins 800 kW of Cogeneration Sales to Six NYC Apartments in Under 45 Days

WALTHAM, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/23/18 -- Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient, clean, natural gas powered on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce that within the last 45 days it has entered into contracts to sell InVerde e+ cogeneration units to six apartment buildings in Manhattan, NY. The units will have a total capacity of 800 kW and will generate revenue totaling $4.1 million, which includes the cost of installation and all related accessories. The bulk of the revenue will be recognized across the first half of 2018. Each deal comes with a long-term service contract, which is billed separately and not included in this number, and all but one includes turnkey installation.

"As our robust flow of contract wins suggest, we are a dominant player in New York City's multi-unit residential cogeneration market," stated Co-CEO Benjamin Locke. "In fact, we believe that we are the leader in our segment of the market nationwide. As interest in cogeneration among owners and residents of multi-unit housing gains traction, we are at the top of the list of preferred vendors."

Joseph E. Gehret, Tecogen's Director of Field Operations, said, "It's not just InVerde's unique features that make us the go-to CHP provider, it's our ability to execute on getting the units up and running with our turnkey installation expertise. Getting the installation done properly is critical to ensuring that the buyer is able to generate the energy and cost savings that our engineering team considers achievable."

Tecogen's Director of Project Development, Abinand Rangesh said, "These wins result from our strong and growing relationships with independent engineering companies and consultants. Their appreciation of our unique value proposition and our ability to actually deliver on what we say we will do has enabled us to increasingly leverage these important relationships. We create value from start to finish; that means product delivery, installation, operation, and service. It's what drove the orders here."
