New energy facility at London hospital expected to save 6,000 tons of carbon a year

The project is also guaranteed to save the hospital £1m per year in energy bills


St George’s Hospital in London has undergone a major overhaul of its energy facilities which will reduce annual carbon emissions by 6,000 tons, according to an article on the St. George's website.

The project, part of an Energy Performance Contract (EPC), is also guaranteed to save the hospital £1m per year in energy bills. The previous energy facility at the hospital had been in place for 40 years. 

“Ultimately, our aim is to create the best possible environment for our patients, and this new facility will allow us to do that while also maximising cost and energy efficiency,” Kevin Howell, Director of Estates and Facilities at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said

The new center features two combined heat and power (CHP) units that will deliver almost all of the power needed to run the hospital. It also has also four new boilers, a highly efficient chiller system, and energy efficient lighting and controls.
