ITHACA — The second phase of a study on combined heat and power and an energy district for the greater downtown Ithaca area is moving closer to completion.
Energize Ithaca, LLC, a group formed in 2011 to develop energy solutions for Ithaca and its business community, is working with partners to research and recommend ways Ithaca can use distributed energy and combined heat and power systems to create a downtown energy district.
The U.S. Department of Energy is providing technical assistance to help complete the study’s second phase, according to Energize Ithaca.
