UMass Awarded Grant to Run US DOE CHP Application Center.  Visit the Web site www.northeastchp.org The Northeast Region of the United States has a higher than average cost of energy when compared to the rest of the country, which favors the development of Combined Heat and Power (CHP). The region has a long-standing history of support for, and success in delivering, energy efficient programs. There are already a number of programs throughout the region that are supporting and promoting the CHP and efficient energy management practice. The Northeast CHP Application Center will leverage these existing state pump-priming activities to create sustainable markets for CHP products and services.The purpose of the Application Center is to facilitate the technology transfer and delivery of advanced CHP Technologies that assist DOE in meeting the goal of doubling CHP in the Northeast region over the next decade. It will also accelerate the market penetration of energy efficient and environmentally superior CHP. Increasing CHP penetration will improve the environment, raise productivity in buildings and industry, lower regional energy costs, strengthen security, enhance consumer choice and reduce price risks for end-users.
