On-Site Power Production Is More Feasible Today than Ever Before
Small-scale technologies such as micro turbines, combustion turbines, and fuel cells are used at or on a site close to your business. These small modular power generation units generate electricity at your site while using the Austin Energy power grid as back up.

Services Provided by Austin Energy
After an initial site assessment to determine your needs, our Energy Products team installs, operates and maintains the latest versions of micro turbines, fuel cells, combustion turbines, and interconnecting switchgear necessary to equip your building for distributed generation. This service may be a cost-effective enhancement to your electrical service provided by Austin Energy.

Benefits of Distributed Generation and Building Cooling - Heating - Power (CHP)
