Is your emergency generator putting you at risk?

Have you been approached by your electric utility about entering into an interruptible rate structure? This could be a cost savings to your facility. However, if you plan to compensate for interruptions with your emergency generator, you need an air permit.

Peak shaving or interruptible power supply contracts strip a generator of its “emergency” status and negate air permit exemptions. Gen sets used for non-emergency electric generation are also subject to one of three federal emissions standards for internal combustion engines, depending on the type of engine.

If you currently do not have an air permit and only need one for your generator(s), you may be eligible for Wisconsin’s Registration Operation Permit (ROP). The ROP is a generic permit that can be applied for on-line. If you already have an air permit for other sources at your facility, you will need to add the generator(s) to your permit as a listed emission point(s). BT Squared is here to help.
