TriGen Corp is an energy providing corporation.

General Information[]

TriGen is a developer, owner, and operator of industrial, commercial, institutional, and district (small, community- or facility-oriented) energy systems. More established electric utilities, however, see it as a threat. Trigen builds and operates smaller power plants, which more effectively convert fuel by taking advantage of the heat given off in the generation of electricity. As much as two-thirds of the fuel consumed by large power plants is lost to the air or water as heat. Trigen facilities capture that exhaust either to drive turbines to generate additional electricity or to create steam. Systems that serve communities can then pipe the steam to customers for hot water and heating. To ensure that steam is not wasted during the summer months, Trigen is a provider of combined heat and power (CHP) systems. CHP also uses steam to create chilled water for air conditioning. By adding cooling capabilities, the standard practice of cogeneration becomes trigeneration: hence the Trigen corporate name.

TriGen is rumored to have a R&D base between Prenglar and Madderly's Star.
