Generate your own power at an average of 3 to 5 cents per KWH versus your current average utility rate of 9 to 14 cents per KWH. This can result in a cost savings of 40% to 60% of your current operating cost.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control Inflation. <\/strong>Control inflation since Natural Gas prices are projected to inflate at 3.0% or less through 2035. This is due to the abundant US supply of Natural Gas energy which is twice that of the entire Saudi Arabia oil supply,<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qualify for Incentives. <\/strong>COGEN will qualify for a rebate of 60 cents per watt for California made components (e.g. A 1 megawatt system qualifies for $600,000), and depreciation against the cash purchase price &#8211; a federal tax credit (10%) the first year, depreciation credit (42%) over 6 years, and state credit (7%) over 15 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase Efficiency. <\/strong>Increase System Efficiency from 50% to 80% through the use of co-generation engine waste heat to assist with heating of space, hot water, steam or cooling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce Emissions<\/strong>. Reduce your footprint<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase Sustainability<\/strong>. Increase System Sustainability with 10 year maintenance free warranties.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reasonable Payback. <\/strong>Provide A Reasonable Cash investment Payback of 3 to 6 years (depending on system size).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Who Uses COGEN?<\/h3>\n<div style=\"font-size:21px;color:#367178;\"><strong>In the Past &#8211;<\/strong> COGEN was used primarily by petroleum refining, paper, and chemical industries.
