University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health hospital has built a combined heat and power plant that is expected to save the system $9 million over 20 years, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
The plant will generate approximately 13 million kilowatt hours annually. That equates to removing the annual greenhouse gases emitted by more than 2,000 cars, the article said.
The plant is also expected to provide improved power reliability and energy efficiency, and produce cleaner power through better fuel utilization.
