Sacramento Airport Central Utility Plant

Client: Sacramento Municipal Utility District

IEC conducted this due diligence analysis for a Central Utility Plant (CUP) and combined heat and power (CHP) at the Sacramento International Airport to evaluate the cost and equipment selection for an advanced CUP, CHP, and possible thermal energy storage (TES) to serve the planned new terminal, hotel, and concourse at the airport. In addition to the due diligence study, IEC performed a financial analysis of SMUD ownership of a CHP and CUP plant, modeled TES designs, and evaluated the use of a larger engine for the SMUD ownership case.
