Mays Landing ,
NJ - AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, the Richard
Stockton College of New Jersey, Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation
and Energenic LLC today announced the signing of a letter
of intent, to evaluate the feasibility for designing and
potentially developing a combined heat and power facility
in Atlantic County, N.J.
The CHP facility evaluation and design process will consider
the heating, cooling and electric power needs of the entire
AtlantiCare, Stockton and Bacharach Campus area and will
incorporate any infrastructure improvements that will need
to be addressed as part of the overall project. The introduction
of CHP on the shared Campus should reduce energy costs and
improve energy efficiency for the participants.
“We are proud to investigate the feasibility of cogeneration
with Energenic and to do our part to reduce energy demand,
encourage alternative energy solutions and position Atlantic
County as a leader in energy efficiency,” said David
Tilton, president and CEO of AtlantiCare.
“Through this partnership, the College is demonstrating
its commitment to develop a more environmentally-conscious,
sustainable campus, one that will benefit our students and
surrounding community,” said Dr. Herman Saatkamp, Jr.,
president of the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.
“It is a pleasure to be a part of such an exciting
and innovative project that will provide long term benefits
not only to Bacharach, but the region as a whole,” stated
Dr. Richard J. Kathrins, president and CEO of Bacharach Institute
for Rehabilitation.
“We recognize the value and impact combined heat and
power facilities can have on our state’s energy portfolio,” added
Frank DiCola, president and CEO of Energenic. “Through
the development and implementation of this and similar projects,
we can reduce the demand on the existing utility infrastructure
and our consumption of traditional fuels, while working towards
realizing the goals set forth in the Energy Master Plan.” The
Energy Master Plan encourages the implementation of CHP wherever
possible in satisfying New Jersey’s electricity needs.
Energenic LLC, a joint venture between Marina Energy and
DCO Energy, specializes in designing, developing and operating
custom, eco-friendly energy projects, including thermal facilities,
combined heat and power facilities, district heating and
