Overview: Maintaining a high level of military preparedness and operations efficiency is critical to the mission of the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) in Petawawa. Consider the consequences of an electrical power grid failure on the base during a major emergency or military deployment. The cogeneration power system operates at 80 percent thermal efficiency. As a result, the base's purchased power costs are reduced by as much as 60 percent. By comparison, large utility-run power generation systems average just 30 to 50 percent efficiency.
