Combined Heat & Power WEST REGIONAL CHILLED WATER PLANT
Overview of Scope:
The new Combined Heat & Power Unit at the TB Simon Power Plant will add electric generation capacity, restore lost steam generation capacity, and provide utility services for a new West Regional Chilled Water Plant.
The West Regional Chilled Water Plant will provide cooling to the Engineering and Digital Innovation Center, International Center, Wells Hall, and Erickson Hall, replacing existing chillers that are likely to fail in the near future without significant intervention.
The chilled water plant design, with future investment, will also provide space for future cooling capacity expansion should building opportunities identified in Vision 2050: An Integrated Facilities and Land Use Plan for Michigan State University come to fruition.
