Waltham, MA – 
“Many large grow facilities have power needs in excess of the capacity of the local electric utility,” noted Stephen Lafaille, Vice President of Business Development. “The Tecochill solution removes the cooling load from the electrical capacity requirements while simultaneously providing high grade heat for dehumidification. Our InVerde system can be modularly deployed to further reduce the electrical requirements as a cost-effective alternative to expensive and potentially prolonged electrical capacity upgrades. In addition, we can minimize or eliminate the need for back-up generation equipment because Tecogen’s microgrid will continue to operate in the event of a grid outage, allowing the facility to protect valuable crops and maintain business continuity.”
CEA facilities are designed with precise temperature and humidity controls to maximize production volumes for a variety of food, industrial and commercial crops. As global population rises with the associated demand for food production, CEA facilities are expected to take a more dominant role as land use continues to shift from agriculture to urban and industrial uses, and water becomes a more valuable commodity.
“Global CEA production is expected to reach $172 billion in the next 5 years at an annual growth rate of almost 19%,” stated Benjamin Locke, Tecogen’s CEO. “Tecogen is well positioned to continue expanding our microgrid solution within the CEA market as facilities focus on operational cost savings and resiliency from the electric grid. The high efficiency of Tecogen’s products also results in greenhouse gas savings when compared to grid power. We are enthusiastic about the potential for Tecogen’s microgrid systems in the CEA market.”
