Penn Medicine’s Lancaster General Hospital invested $28 million in a natural-gas-powered, tri-generation energy center, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.
The new energy center was launched in spring 2017 and is located in a two-story addition built on top of LGH’s previous power plant.
The 6.6-megawatt power plant will save about $2 million a yearwhile producing only about half of the emissions.
The combined heat and power plant (CHP)provides electricity and heating. The addition of a steam-driven turbine chiller to the CHP also gives the energy center cooling capabilities.
