What it is The confidence we place in our own equipment shows no place better than in our Value Share program. For qualified projects, Hess Microgen  will pay for all capital expenses and operating costs. Hess Microgen's Value Share program pays for: Manufacturing of Hess Microgen's cogeneration units Other cogen system components, including balance-of-plant equipment Design and engineering costs Permitting costs Construction, installation, and contractor costs Startup costs Cogen fuel Maintenance and operations Your business pays only for the discounted energy it uses. We are so confident in the performance of our systems that we are willing to put the return on our investment at the risk of our units' performance. Other benefits to our Value Share program include having worry-free onsite power since Hess Microgen performs all operation and maintenance procedures necessary to maximize system performance; and by managing and procuring the fuel supply, your organization does not need to worry about fuel prices or fluctuations. Lastly, because our Value Share program includes complete turnkey management of design and installation, your organization does not need to have or obtain specialty services to manage the project. Our expert team and extensive integration experience ensure that the cogeneration system is tailored to meet the specific needs of your business and characteristics of your facility. How it works Hess Microgen agrees to install, own, and operate the system at your site. The system produces electricity and thermal energy in the form of heat or cooling. We sell you this energy at a rate that is discounted from the rate provided by your local utility. Your business benefits by paying less for its power needs; Hess Microgen benefits by sharing in the savings produced from our highly efficient systems. The strength of this program is that Hess Microgen does not make money unless the equipment is providing benefits to your business, so we are encouraged to provide the highest possible reliability and availability. Some of our customers are saving tens of thousands of dollars on their energy costs; others are saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
