Marathon Engine Systems Powered the American Gas Association (AGA) Exhibitor Booth at the 2010 International Builders' Show in Las Vegas
Marathon Engine Systems was proud to provide power to the American Gas Association (AGA) booth at the 2010 International Builders' Show held Jan. 19-22 in Las Vegas. In fact for the four-day show, our ecopower™ microcogen unit not only supplied booth electrical power but almost 80 kWh of excess energy was sent into the Convention Center. As you can imagine, in these tough economic times, the attendance was down somewhat from years past. However, interest in our ecopower™ unit was the most we've ever seen in the previous four years. The interest in distributed generation is starting to gain traction and become more recognized and accepted by utilities and energy service companies. This coupled with customer concerns over increasing energy costs ensures a bright future for microCHP. |
