Dalkia delivers CHP cost and carbon benefits to Tesco
As part of Tesco’s plans to halve carbon emissions from its buildings by 2020, Cogenco has installed 20 CHP units in a number of stores, with more planned. Typically, a saving of about £45 000 a year can be made on a site operating a 200 kW CHP plant, resulting in a carbon saving of 325 t.
David Shevioff, sales director of Cogenco, the specialist CHP subsidiary of Cogenco, said, ‘The installation of small-scale CHP is ideal for retail sites such as Tesco’s stores due to the high demand for both heat and power throughout the day. This provides a financially viable alternative to off-grid energy procurement, while also contributing to Tesco’s green agenda.’
