Zimmer, M J

A checklist of basic considerations in developing a packaged cogeneration system covers financial, regulatory and legal, and a variety of specialized issues. The authors see a window of opportunity until 1989 for major packaged cogeneration expansion. Unless the gas industry responds more creatively, the remaining market for gas utilities by 1990 may be for small units and heavily reliant on commercial and packaged systems. Declining gas prices will create an opportunity and potential environment for long-term supply agreements. Innovative tariffs and rate design will reflect the load balancing, high load factor attributes of gas-fired cogeneration at the distribution company level. Natural gas-fired cogeneration will be marketed from within the industry through diversified, unregulated pursuits. 4 figures, 1 table.
