The cogeneration facility will be located in Bradford County and will harvest the heat from reciprocating engines at a natural gas compression station currently under construction by a US natural gas company.
Funding for the grant was provided by three sources including: the state Growing Greener II funds, the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, and Duquesne Light Settlement Fund.
KGRA CEO Jason Gold said that this project, which will harness exhaust heat from reciprocating engines, is one of the first of its kind and will open the door to many more megawatts of clean renewable power in the Marcellus Shale area.
With an uptime ratio of 95%, KGRA’s facility is estimated to produce 10 million kWh of emission-free electricity per year.
