Customers signing up to Dalkia’s new Eco2Synergy combined heat and power (CHP) financing scheme “need incur no significant capital investment or risk”.
Dalkia will deliver Eco2Synergy through its specialist CHP design and manufacturing subsidiary Cogenco. Providing “a cost-effective alternative” to outright CHP purchase, an Eco2Synergy contract will see Cogenco owning the CHP asset, meaning limited customer risk. Instead customers will have their CHP installed and maintained by Cogenco and receive a monthly invoice at a preagreed rate per kWh cost based on the electricity they are generating. There are thus “no surprise costs” Minimum contracted period is 10 years, with CHP units ranging from 30 kWe to 3 MWe covered. A typical scheme operating a 200 kw CHP will reportedly save approximately £45,000 in annual energy costs, and 325 tonnes of carbon.
