Vital Energi will upgrade the existing combined heat and power (CHP) system and install two new efficient steam boilers. A new control system will be installed to ensure efficient and reliable energy generation.
Once the construction process is complete, Vital Energi will operate and maintain the energy center under an Energy Services Agreement (ESA). This agreement is aimed at optimizing availability and energy use by guaranteeing the projected carbon and financial savings for the next 15 years and establishing the foundations for further carbon reduction initiatives.
