Co-Generation Energy Plan Opens At Bradley International
November 01, 2002
As part of the ongoing expansion of Bradley International Airprot, the Connecticut Department of Transportation negotiated construction of a co-generation energy plant to provide heating, cooling and electricity to the new Unified Terminal Complex at the airport. The co-generation plant, now fully operational, will also provide electricity to Terminal B and runway lighting. The facility will operate on three natural gas-fired engines, and in the unlikely even the plant is unable to provide power, a connection to the existing electric utility grid is available.
The co-generation plan was designed and constructed by Select Energy, with total construction costs being $10.9 million. As part of the 20-year agreement, Select Energy will operate and maintain the energy plant. The new co-generation plant at Bradley is estimated to save the airport $4 million over the life of the agreement.
