BC Energy | Morristown Medical Center Electrical Consolidation and Cogeneration Plant
IGNORE THIS TITLE
Our Project
In response to outages caused by Superstorm Sandy, this project developed for Morristown Medical Center (MMC) had two goals: to reroute and consolidate the main electrical service from the utility coming into the hospital, and to add a new layer of resiliency by building a new on-site cogeneration plant on the MMC campus. The new plant powers 1.4 million square feet of buildings spanning 30 acres.
The plant includes a natural gas-fired turbine generator, paired with a 13,000 pound-per-hour heat recovery steam generator. The system features a load management system that controls the supply of electricity during outages and allows the plant to “island” and the hospital to continue operations if utility power is lost.
The investment is paying off — since 2021, MMC has experienced $3.4 million in annual utility savings. The plant produces 67% of the campus’s total electricity (more than 105 million kilowatt-hours) and 50% of the steam.
