Become Your Own Utility Company

Cheaper Electricity with Combined Heat and Power (CHP) comes from generating power onsite. Utility rates can be deceiving—hidden delivery and service fees can tack on 25% or more—but CHP cuts those costs.

Free Heat is from CHP’s cogeneration—capturing the heat that would normally go to waste and using it for hot water, space heating, or cooling. It’s like getting a second energy source for free, slashing utility bills even more.

In New York City hotels, the value of a single kWh multiplies into millions for investors.

A Green Solution for Every Flag

Inntelect partners with top microturbine experts whose decades of innovation deliver proven, fuel-flexible power with 50%+ carbon cuts versus utility energy. Our solutions don’t just meet Scope 2 goals set by Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG—they guarantee your hotels exceed them, positioning your portfolio as a leader in sustainability, cost savings, and long-term asset value.

Unlike most sustainability upgrades that take years to break even, CHP pays for itself fast—often within just a few years. Federal and state incentives further slash upfront costs, with USDA REAP grants covering up to 25% of qualifying investments. That means you not only cut emissions—you unlock immediate savings, hedge against rising utility rates, and accelerate ROI.

AT YOUR SERVICE

ALWAYS

Energy When You Need It Most

Aging infrastructure and climate change put hotels at risk of costly outages, especially during extreme weather and peak demand seasons. Microturbines with CHP provide greater reliability than the grid, delivering resilience when it matters.  Margaritaville Resort in St. Thomas maintained full power during Hurricane Irma, keeping guests comfortable and operations running while others were dark.

Just one hurricane can accelerate CHP payback by saving a 500-room South Beach hotel with a $250 RevPAR $625,000 in just five nights—protecting revenue, keeping guests happy, and turning disaster into a financial win.

Business Value Assessment

The CHP Business Value Assessment is a detailed analysis and benchmarking of current energy usage, providing a clear understanding of existing consumption patterns. It then creates a future-state scenario, outlining the potential energy savings and operational benefits after implementing a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. 

​The BVA features a ten-year pro forma, including NPV, IRR, and payback period, projecting the financial impact by accounting for savings, costs, and potential incentives. This enables hotel owners to make informed decisions about investing in CHP technology, aligning sustainability goals with financial targets.
