The document outlines the benefits and trends of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems in New York, particularly focusing on energy cost savings, reliability during outages, and reduced carbon emissions. It discusses NYSERDA's prequalified CHP programs, financial incentives, and ongoing projects under the Con Edison BQDM initiative. Key points include the transition from large industrial users to smaller facilities and the collaborative efforts between government and utilities to implement CHP solutions.
