Veolia to manage and operate CHP facility in New York state

Industrial Realty Group (IRG), a real estate development and investment firm headquartered in Los Angeles, has contracted Veolia Energy Operating Services LLC, Boston, to operate and maintain its central utility plant and combined heat and power (CHP) facility in Pearl River, New York. 

Veolia will manage utilities across 250 acres of property, much of which is dedicated to the pharmaceutical and technology industries. The Pearl River site will ultimately be the home of many high tech and mission critical industrial companies.

Under this contract, Veolia will manage the water and energy utilities of IRG’s New York City-area campus, including a 23 megawatt CHP plant, 18,000 ton chiller plant, 400,000 pound per hour boiler plant, 3.1 million gallon per day water and wastewater treatment plant and electrical, steam and chilled water distribution systems.
 
Veolia’s services are designed to allow IRG to focus more on real estate development while ensuring the tenants’ customers receive reliable and high quality utilities.

“Our team will work to optimize operations from a reliability and cost perspective,” says John Gibson, president and COO of Veolia’s municipal and commercial business. “Maximizing utility performance will allow IRG to focus on its core mission of developing a cost-competitive location to attract industrial manufacturers.”
