4	What is Cogeneration? Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of heat and electricity. At the University, electricity will be generated during the normal process of satisfying the heating and cooling needs of the River Campus and Medical Center.
5	Why Cogenerate? Increase efficiency of energy production and distribution systems. Renew physical infrastructure of plant and distribution. Reduce exposure to volatile energy markets. Generates more than 50% of annual electric needs of River Campus and Medical Center with less than 1% increase in natural gas consumption. On site power generation provides business continuity for critical patient care, student housing, and research programs. Reduce energy-related emissions.
