Over the past few years DLG has been involved in energy efficiency and conservation efforts, primarily focused on local governments. We have also been looking at ways local governments can help their communities become more competitive, not only through energy efficiency and conservation measures, but also through renewable and/or more efficient power generation. Currently underway is an effort to promote the use of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) in the Commonwealth. CHP is an integrated energy system that generates electrical and/or mechanical power and recovers the waste heat for use in heating, cooling, and/or dehumidifying a nearby facility. As part of the project, the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers; the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet; the Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center; the U.S. Department of Energy – State Energy Program and the DOE Southeast CHP Technical Assistance Partnership are sponsoring a workshop to share information about CHP with potential end-users. The workshop is being conducted in both the Bowling Green & Richmond areas and more information is detailed below. We’d really appreciate your assistance to help spread the word about the workshops to any businesses or institutions in your area that could benefit from learning more about Combined Heat and Power. Thanks for your help in spreading the word. Call me if you have any questions. Are high energy costs and unreliable power affecting your bottom line? Sign up today for one of two Kentucky CHP Workshops in November to learn how a Combined Heat and Power system could help your business lower costs, improve power reliability and enhance environmental performance. The CHP Workshops will provide: • An overview of CHP technologies • Types of systems available • Fuel options • Utility rates and regulations • Financing options and incentives • Policies and permit requirements PLUS, you can get the facts about CHP in a Q&A session with end users and learn how to request a No Cost CHP assessment of your facility. Registration deadline is November 3 for the Bowling Green workshop. Registration deadline is November 6 for the Richmond workshop. Register Today! The cost to attend is $30 which includes continental breakfast, lunch and all workshop materials. Pre-registration is required. No walk-in registrations can be accepted. The Kentucky CHP Workshops are sponsored by the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers – KAM; the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet – EEC; the Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center – KPPC; the U.S. Department of Energy – State Energy Program and the DOE Southeast CHP Technical Assistance Partnership.
