Dalkia CHP plant cuts Westminster’s emissions and bills 21 December 2012

The University of Westminster is reporting successful commissioning of a CHP (combined heat and power) plant, which will not only help towards its green commitments, but also cut energy bills.

Installed by energy and utilities management service specialist Dalkia's Cogenco CHP team, the 300kWe plant is providing heating and electricity for the campus, which serves 20,000 students.

The university's John Vickery explains that the plant re-uses the heat produced in electricity generation to provide hot water for heating, rather than releasing it – making the system more than twice as efficient as separate electricity import and on-site heat generation.

"Dalkia's CHP system has provided a sustainable onsite energy generation solution for the university, whilst delivering cost saving electricity," states Vickery.

"The green technology has helped us to continue in our efforts in minimising CO2 emissions and will provide us with a platform to achieve our future environmental targets."
