Catalyst

Power Generation

Recent improvements in renewable energy technology, along with heightened state and federal subsidies, have made on-site power generation extremely attractive for many types of businesses. By installing the right technology under the right financial structure, businesses can now replace their monthly electricity expense with an equivalent or lower cost for on-site power generation. And with the right development plan in place, forward-thinking building owners can use on-site energy systems to reduce immediate operating costs, reduce long term operating costs, and enhance their business value all at once.

Aside from providing tangible energy savings, on-site power generation (or "distributed generation" as it is known in the energy industry) can also help businesses capture several intangible benefits. For example, businesses with on-site power generation can brand themselves as sustainable, potentially qualify as sellers of renewable energy credits, and overcome the major hurdles required to achieve the highest LEED and Energy Star ratings.

Catalyst works with a variety of exciting power generation technologies, including MicroTurbines, Fuel Cells, Natural Gas & Biofuel Fired Reciprocating Engines, Wind Turbines, Solar Photovoltaic Panels, Solar Thermal Panels, and Solar Air Conditioning Systems. Catalyst usually purchases the necessary equipment for these systems directly from manufacturers to help reduce overall system costs.
