They didn't say, but I'm wondering what the loss is when you convert the heat back into electricity. I assume they're boiling water and turning turbines with it- I can't imagine they're losing too much.

They're using heat exchangers to add it to the municipal heating loop. No electricity involved on that side.

I saw that, but they said it could be converted to heat with a loss.
