The author describes the development of the cogeneration system at the University of Colorado at Boulder campus, which was brought on line in 1992. The author reviews the history of power and utilities services for the campus. Prior to 1932, the campus maintained a coal fired cogeneration facility. In the 1980`s, evaluation of existing systems on campus, and changes in regulations for public utilities, prompted the campus to implement a new cogeneration facility, housed in the building originally used for this purpose. This facility allows the university to control this aspect of its needs, provides cheaper utilities, and allows the university to be directly involved in energy conservation.
