BYU’s central plant is modernizing its existing functionality from coal fired boilers to natural gas co-generation. With the recent removal of three coal fired boilers and the exhaust stack, an additional building is being constructed to house a turbine Solar Titan 130 and new mechanical-electrical equipment. In addition, modifications are being made to the existing structure in order to house the Heat Return Unit and a new control room. The scope also includes additions to the campus electrical distribution system and the north, south and west substations. The project is on track for completion in 2018.
