Marina Thermal Plant

The Marina Thermal Facility was a greenfield development project. Marina Energy, as owner, and DCO Energy, as the developer and operator, developed and financed the project as an off- site central utility plant, which serves the Borgata Hotel and Casino complex in Atlantic City, NJ. This energy project emphasized the long-term vision of creating, in phases, a district heating and cooling system that provides heating, cooling, electric and emergency power to the complex.
