CUSTOMER VALUE
Efficient and Stable Power
Under the United States Federal Energy Managers Program, the Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center entered into an energy savings performance contract with Sempra Energy Services. The project required replacing two existing 1.2 MWe Solar® gas turbines that were installed in 1987. By replacing the generators with the low emissions Mercury™ 50, which utilizes an ultra-lean premix combustor design and produces less than 5 ppmv NOx, the hospital was able to generate $4.2 million dollars in emissions offset credits.
