EC Power secures micro CHP deal with E.ON
December 1st 2007 Micro CHP specialist, EC Power has
signed a deal with E.ON, one of the
UK's leading power and gas
companies that will see EC Power's
products offered to E.ON's public
and private sector clients.
The deal with E.ON's
Sustainable Energy
Solutions business
comes at a time when
interest in low-carbon
micro-generation
technologies is at an
all-time high.
"E.ON's move
towards micro CHP is
significant", said Ashley
Grist, EC Power UK's
managing director.
"Our company is
owned by Europe's largest energy
company, Statoil. Another energy
giant like E.ON getting onboard
demonstrates that micro CHP has a
seat at the top table –
alongside
other micro-generation
technologies."
Sam Baylis,Head of Sustainable
Energy Solutions at E.ON said:
"Microgeneration forms an
important part of our Sustainable
Energy Solutions business
and we are delighted to be
entering this partnership with
EC Power.
"At E.ON we recognise the
need for a diverse range of
microgeneration, which
includes CHP. By working with
EC Power and others,we hope
that the roll out of this
technology will make a
significant contribution to
reducing UK carbon
emissions."
Micro CHP offers an easy route to
meeting the level of emission
reductions required by these
targets. It simultaneously generates
heating, hot water and electricity
for use in domestic and commercial
applications.As most of the waste
heat from the generation process is
recovered, the units are inherently
'green' as they use much less fuel
than conventional technologies.
This environmental benefit
increases further when renewable
biofuels are used instead of the
natural gas or diesel normally used.
With a typical system, consumers
can expect to save up to 60% on
their energy bills. More articles from EC Power UK Limited: |
