ENER-G wins top award for export

Salford-based green energy specialist ENER-G has won a prestigious industry award for its achievements at a leading American university.

ENER-G’s energy services project at Saint Peter’s University, New Jersey, has won The Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) International Award, which recognises outstanding achievement by UK companies in the overseas Combined heat and power (CHP) and district heating and cooling sector.

ENER-G has designed and implemented extensive energy demand reduction measures with combined cooling heat and power (CCHP), solar PV, and efficient lighting technologies. This is reducing the University’s C02 emissions by 2012 metric tonnes per year, which is equivalent to the environmental benefit of removing 671 cars from the road or the C02 that would be offset by 1649 acres of forest.

The two-phase project was completed under ‘pay-as-you-save’ energy services agreements, which were funded by ENER-G and required no capital outlay by the client.

The infrastructure is controlled and monitored by the ‘Energy Command Centre’, likened to the Star Trek’s Starship Enterprise control room. The infographic style display screens provide live data on the type of energy being used on campus, the total amount of energy savings and real-time data on the carbon saving benefits. It is also a learning laboratory and educational tool for students.

Alan Barlow, Chief Executive of ENER-G Cogen International, said: “We are extremely proud to win this ADE Award and gain recognition from our peers in the decentralised energy industry. This project illustrates the cost and carbon savings that can be achieved by combining CHP generation with a range of energy efficiency and sustainability measures. It also illustrates the scope to finance such projects on a pay-as-you-save basis.”
