ASSET MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS
DCO provides customers with a best-in-class experience by operating and maintaining energy infrastructure by offering a wide range of services to achieve customer objectives – ranging from developing and implementing operating procedures, fuel procurement, annual budgeting/forecasting, asset performance, environmental compliance, spare parts inventory, loss mitigation programs, and total operations/maintenance.

MICROGRIDS, COMBINED HEAT, CHILLING AND POWER
DCO has been a leading national developer of microgrids and combined heat, chilling, and power facilities for over two decades. Projects range from 2MW to 50 MW utilizing various technologies, including gas turbines, reciprocating engines, steam turbines and fuel cells, and leverage fuels that include natural gas, biogas and biomass. Installation sites include colleges, hospitals, prisons, industrial plants, resorts, wastewater treatment plants, and military bases.
DCO Energy drives as a leader in microgrid development because customers require reliable, resilient, and renewable energy. All across North America, DCO has participated in developing, designing, constructing, owning, financing, operations, and maintaining state-of-the-art microgrids. While every customer has unique goals, DCO’s projects have standard components such as electric generation, black start and “island” mode capability, and energy savings.
DCO operates many of its CHCP and microgrid systems as part of a district energy system. Diverse buildings are equipped with systems that distribute steam, hot water, chilled water, and electricity, while capturing and reusing waste heat to increase energy efficiency and sustainability.
