<div>Hi Andrea,</div><div><br></div>Technically the cogeneration shouldn't reduce your electricity consumption -- the only thing is that the source of the electricity is different. The differential is accounted for in the ES-E report of the SIM file.<div>

I can't seem to get my cogeneration system right!  The results<br>
look like the electricity use stays the same and then there is<br>
some gas usage for lights, etc.  I assume that means that the<br>
gas from the generator is essentially powering the lights, but<br>
why doesn't the electricity usage go down?  I've seen other<br>
posts like this but no answers... hoping someone has an answer.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Andrea<br>
