ABSTRACT
The success of a cogeneration project is measured in terms of what it saved the client in utility costs after on-site operating and maintenance expenses are deducted from gross savings. Whether the facility is a nonprofit organization such as a YMCA, Jewish Community Center or a municipality that do not pay taxes, or a tax-paying entity such as a hotel, motel, or industrial plant; the savings will accrue from reduced electrical usage and the possible reduction in fuel costs due to the fuel user offering a cogeneration rate on the fuel, or a negotiated contract between the using facility and the fuel provider.
