BROOKSHIRE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Signal Power Group (“Signal Power" or “SPG”) announced today that the company has been awarded a significant combined heat & power (“CHP”) contract valued at over $10,000,000 with Union Beverage Packers, LLC (“UBP”). Under the terms of the agreement, Signal Power will procure, assemble, commission, and maintain the complete 3.5MW CHP system for a UBP facility in the state of New Jersey. This system will be powered by the SPG 4 turbine engine under Signal Power’s license with Honeywell International, Inc. The CHP system will deliver 3.5MW of carbon-reducing power generation fueled with natural gas and simultaneously will capture the heat from the turbine engine to produce steam required to meet UBP’s beverage plant needs. The system is expected to be commissioned and operational in mid-2024 and will be supported by a ten-year long-term service agreement provided by SPG to ensure a seamless solution.

“This is the first of many CHP solutions that we (SPG) expect to deploy over the next three years as our commercial and industrial customers look to transition from legacy diesel-fired equipment or grid-provided power to more efficient and cleaner distributed generation systems. Under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, this type of power plant qualifies as green energy which is eligible for certain valuable tax credits and other financial advantages. Signal Power and its partner Honeywell are aligned on accelerating the transition to environmentally-friendly fuel sources, including renewable natural gas and hydrogen blended fuels that will provide our customers lower-cost alternatives and reduce their carbon footprint with a clean source of power,” said Rob Marchitello, Chief Executive Officer of SPG.

“We are thrilled to introduce this revolutionary CHP solution that aligns with our vision of sustainability and environmental consciousness. By adopting this cutting-edge technology, we expect to not only significantly reduce our carbon footprint but also generate substantial cost savings. Thanks to the support and excellent information provided by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, we are confident that our investment will pay off in as little as 24 months,” said Yaron Gohar, CEO of UBP.

“We are excited to see SPG's continued growth with its newest CHP project that utilizes the company’s differentiated turbine engine technology and leverages management expertise developed over decades. We look forward to continuing our support of Signal Power in this important work towards a more energy-efficient future,” said John Moon, head of Morgan Stanley Energy Partners.
