Cogeneration Project
The University of Rochester will upgrade its current utility plant to enable "cogeneration"—simultaneously producing the electricity and steam used to heat and cool River Campus and Medical Center buildings, and using no more fuel than if only steam was produced. When the upgrade is completed in mid-2006, the plant will produce more than half of the annual electric requirement of the River Campus and Medical Center while lowering air emissions from the local electric utility that are directly attributable to University energy needs.
