Tecogen Sells InVerde Cogeneration Systems for New York School District
WALTHAM, MA, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX: TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient and clean on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce the sale of two InVerde e+ cogeneration systems for use at a school district in upstate New York. One of the systems will be installed in the district’s middle school and the other in the elementary school. Both units will provide electricity and heat to the facility at a discount to their existing utilities. The cogeneration installation is part of a larger energy services package to the district provided by a large Energy Services Company (ESCO).
“Schools continue to be a good market for our InVerde cogeneration systems,” noted Jeff Glick, Vice President of East Coast Sales. “The systems not only save the school districts energy costs but also are equipped to provide backup power during a grid outage. The recent grid outages in Texas, closely following those in California, have heightened public awareness of the increased risk from extreme weather events and their often-devastating impact on communities. Cogeneration systems like the Tecogen InVerde provide energy resiliency to facilities in the form of both hot water and electricity that can be provided for indefinite periods after the grid fails. As outages continue to occur, caused either by weather or inadequate infrastructure, the back-up power and microgrid feature of the InVerde e+ will be increasingly valued by facility planners throughout the country.”
Tecogen has installed and maintained over 300 cogeneration and chiller systems in the upstate New York area, primarily in school systems. This project will be serviced from Tecogen’s Western New York service center in Rochester, NY.
“We are excited to add to our fleet of cogeneration equipment in upstate New York,” added Benjamin Locke, Tecogen CEO. “In this case our ESCO partner is providing a range of energy savings measures for the district. With energy services contracts typically lasting 15-20 years, longevity and reliability for the operation of the plant is essential. We are looking forward to working with this ESCO and the school districts to accomplish the expected energy savings over the duration of the contract.”
