Cogeneration, also referred to as combined heat and power (CHP), can be a cost-effective source of reliable energy as well as heating and cooling- the single most expensive operating expense in typical buildings.
Major cogeneration units are located at the following State of California facilities:
- Department of Developmental Services, Agnews Developmental Center, San Jose (28 megawatts)
- Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, California Institute for Men, Chino (28 megawatts)
- Department of Mental Health, Metropolitan State Hospital, Los Angeles (28 megawatts)
