Cogent Energy is a distributed energy company that provides an alternative and compelling energy solution to owners of large commercial building complexes. Cogent Energy provides less costly, more efficient, more reliable and environmentally sustainable energy to its clients using the latest cogeneration and absorption chilling technologies.
Through a customer Energy Service Agreement, Cogent provides an on site cogeneration plant that generates the building's electricity, heating and cooling needs at efficiencies of up to 80% and at prices less than grid energy. The grid is used for emergency back-up. Cogent's cogeneration plant uses natural gas and emits about 50% less green house gases than coal power stations to substantially reduce the building's greenhouse gas emissions and help the environment.
In fact the energy savings for a 15,000 sqm commercial building could be as much as $100,000 in the first year of operation alone, not to mention that the Green Star & Australian Building Greenhouse Gas Rating (ABGR) could be increased by up to 2 stars.
With a cogeneration solution designed specifically for large commercial building complexes, Cogent Energy will deliver impressive energy efficiencies and cost benefits today and well into the future.
