More Connecticut businesses are interested in installing small-scale power generation at their facilities, particularly for alternative clean energy.
Connecticut electric utilities United Illuminating and Connecticut Light & Power had more than 40 contractors attend a distributed generation seminar on Wednesday, double the attendance from previous years.
“People want to learn more about how to save on energy costs and alternative ways to generate power,” said Dave Ferrante, CL&P distributed resources supervisor, in a press release.
Distributed generation refers to electricity produced onsite from small energy sources interconnected to the electrical grid. The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund offers programs and incentives for companies to pursue these onsite and co-generation projects, including for wind, solar, fuel cells and geothermal power.
