Central Utility Plant for Medical Campus

Client: Sacramento Municipal Utility District

IEC conducted a technical and economic feasibility study of combined heat and power and thermal energy storage for a local major health care/medical campus (site confidential) as part of an ongoing evaluation of several potential central plant projects. The feasibility study evaluated the cost to build, own, and operate a reciprocating engine cogeneration plant to serve the medical campus. The scope of the study included evaluating a single reciprocating engine configuration under two ownership cases to determine various ownership benefits. IEC prepared a detailed executive-level report that provided the capital costs, operations and maintenance costs, emissions information, and a summary of benefits.
