Bergen County Correctional Facility

DCO Energy LLC, is permitting, engineering, designing, and constructing a state-of-the-art Combined Heating and Power Facility (the CHP Facility) that will service the existing Bergen County Correctional Facility (the Jail) located in Hackensack, New Jersey. DCO will manage the operation and perform the maintenance of the facility based on a 20-year contract.

The centralized CHP Facility will provide a significant portion of the heating and domestic hot water requirements of the Jail. Existing production equipment currently in operation at the Jail will back up the CHP Facility. The CHP Facility will provide a significant portion of the base load electric energy requirements of the Jail. Reliance on the local utility for base load electric energy needs will be significantly reduced.

This project represents the best possible application of technology and systems resulting in a public private partnership that is energy efficient and cost effective.
