Cogeneration consulting

We optimise the implementation, operation and strategy of cogeneration plants to maximise energy efficiency, reduce costs and improve the competitiveness of industrial processes.

What does cogeneration consulting involve?

Evolutia's cogeneration consulting service is aimed at large energy consumers seeking to optimise their costs, improve efficiency and progress towards decarbonisation of their industrial processes.

Evolutia provides comprehensive support throughout all project phases, from the initial feasibility analysis to the operational, regulatory and strategic optimisation of the installations, ensuring that cogeneration is efficiently integrated within the client's overall energy planning.

Experience and positioning in the sector

Evolutia has extensive experience in the management and consulting of cogeneration plants.

 

174.05 MW

This positioning allows Evolutia to provide in-depth technical, regulatory and operational knowledge of the sector.

Technical and economic feasibility analysis

The service begins with a detailed study of the client's energy consumption, assessing the technical and economic feasibility of implementing a cogeneration system.

This analysis includes:

✔️ Evaluation of electrical and thermal consumption profiles 

✔️ Study of continuity and stability of energy demand 

✔️ Optimal sizing of the installation 

✔️ Most suitable technology selection according to the industrial process 

✔️ Estimation of energy and economic savings 

✔️ Analysis of investments, operating costs and payback periods

This diagnosis makes it possible to determine the actual feasibility of the project and define the most efficient solution from a technical and economic standpoint.

Optimisation and modernisation of existing installations
