A $257 million energy-efficiency project is planned for six Jamaican hospitals, according to an article on The Gleaner website.
The effort will involve energy audits and the installation of energy-efficient lighting, solar photovoltaic technology and solar water-heating systems
The selected facilities provide specialized services to a large cross section of the population and have high capital and operational expenditure.
Assessments revealed that energy-efficiency interventions at these hospitals can achieve considerable savings, the article said. The infusion of renewable energy and energy-efficient technology into the hospitals' operations is expected to reduce their collective electricity demand by 1,305,000 kWh each year, which at current rates translates to more than $41 million in savings.
