PROJECT DETAILS

  • Power Export

BC Energy demonstrated to St. Joseph’s Hospital (SJH), that upgrading the system to enable power export to the electric utility grid would save SJH in excess of $500,000 each year. This comes after six years of completing the construction of its cogeneration plant and subsequent annual support services,  Consequently, the project, which required getting approval from the utility to export power to the utility grid  with the installation of new transformers, enables the plant to run at full load. Now nearing maximum efficiency, SJH can monetize its success – importing less utility power and exporting nearly 9 Million Kilowatts annually to the grid.
