Today, TECO is one of the
most efficient, reliable plants
in North America. We really are
to district energy what Texas
Children's is to pediatrics, what
Texas Heart Institute is to
cardiovascular disease, what
MD Anderson is to cancer.
— STEVE SWINSON
CEO of TECO
TECO's combined heat
and power system includes
a jet engine that generates
48 mW of electricity. The
heat-recovery steam
generator captures heat
from the turbine's exhaust
and turns it into steam.
