Overview

Vergent Helps VA Hospital Generate Efficient Energy

Hospitals are excellent hosts for CHP systems.  The Edward P. Boland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center sought out a low emission and high resiliency CHP system to supplement its new boiler plant, by installing a C200S Capstone Microturbine in 2011. Vergent has been servicing the plant since 2016.
