OSTI ID:5702774
This document presents the results of the second phase District Heating Feasibility Study for Jamestown, NY. The study takes an in-depth look at a hot water district heating system using the Jamestown municipal electric plant as the heat source and the downtown area as the primary load. The study considers phased expansion to outlying areas. This second phase study was performed in light of the findings of a first phase district heating study which determined that district heating was technically and economically feasible in Jamestown. The objective of this second phase study is to perform a detailed assessment of district heating and present the findings to the City in sufficient detail to serve as a basis for deciding whether or not to proceed with final design and construction of a district heating system. The study assesses the technical, financial and institutional feasibility of the system, recommends system ownership and financing strategies, develops a phased implementation plan, identifies prospective users and analyzes potential user performance from both a technical and economic point of view. The study concludes that a municipal district heating system financed with municipal bonds could be developed in Jamestown to economically supply heat to the downtown area and the industrial corridor. The study shows that district heating could successfully compete with alternate fuels, allowing most customers to recover their district heating retrofit costs in three to four years.
