CCI Capabilites

Cost Containment Inc. is a privately owned firm established to provide a range of energy services and programs to companies and institutions in the northeast.
Major services and programs provided by CCI include:

Development of on-site energy conversion facilities, using integrated energy management to efficiently and reliably produce electricity, steam and hot water for the host complex. These facilities utilize the technology required by the application: gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, boilers, electric chillers, absorption chillers, air compressors, etc.

Assumption of ownership and operational responsibilities of existing – or to-be-built – boiler/powerhouses.

Provision of integrated energy management consulting to assist customers in obtaining the best end results from their energy purchases.

Arrangement for the financing of energy-related projects.

The CCI philosophy
     CCI is a developer of custom-designed cogeneration systems, landfill-to-energy and merchant plant projects. As a member of the Northeast Energy and Commerce Association, we have the experience, know-how and financial strength to meet the needs of today while anticipating and preparing for the needs of tomorrow.
     CCI has been in the cogeneration business for many years and built its reputation in the industry with a "win-win" philosophy. We respond to our clients' ideas and concerns relating to a project's development from the initial feasibility study to the system's installation and service.
     CCI is built on a strong foundation of industry knowledge and experience which increases our ability to serve you, our customers, with the most advanced cogeneration technology available. Our reputation is built upon the success of numerous installations covering a broad range of system sizes, technologies and configurations. As an owner and operator of its own cogeneration systems, CCI understands what is required to meet your energy needs.

Cogeneration: the concept
Cogeneration is defined as the production of two useful forms of energy – heat and power – from a primary source of energy such as natural gas or oil. For instance, cogeneration systems typically produce electrical power via a reciprocating engine or gas turbine and recover a large percentage of the heat energy retained in the lubricating oil, exhaust gas and coolant water systems to maximize the utilization of the primary fuel. Therefore, cogeneration systems enjoy an inherently high efficiency and have the potential to significantly reduce costs of a facility's energy-related operations. Distributive or on-site premium power has many advantages to meeting your needs!

Is cogeneration right for you?
If your company fits the following descriptions, cogeneration is right for you:

Purchase expensive electrical power.
Operate for extended periods of time.
Have a high load factor for the use of chilled water, hot water and or steam.
Have a desire to control energy costs.

Advantages of cogeneration
These benefits translate into reduced energy operating costs with unsurpassed energy availability:

Low cost thermal energy for your facility(ies) as a useful by-product.
Highly reliable source of power with electric company backup.
Rapid recovery of the system costs through energy savings.
Reduce or eliminate electric demand charge
