Baltimore Washington Medical Center's new power plant is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save the hospital about $750,000 in energy costs per year, according to an article on the Capital Gazette website.
The cogeneration power plant costs about $8 million and took roughly 14 months to install.
Cogeneration power plants enable waste heat to be repurposed. This green energy will power the hospital's lights and machines in the operating rooms, and the waste heat will heat BWMC year-round, the article said.
The hospital will also have more reliable energy in times of need, according to officials.
