carbon reduction
Energy contract to save millions
energy efficiency, save money and cut carbon emissions. As part of a 15-year Energy
V
Performance Contract (EPC), the trust is on track to make savings of £1.3m per year through the implementation of a wide range of energy-efficiency improvements at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Furness General Hospital, and Westmorland General Hospital. Key to this will be the design, delivery,
installation, commissioning and subsequent operation of two 800kW CHP
units that will reduce annual CO2 emissions at the trust by 2,500 tonnes. In addition to generating electricity for
the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General Hospital; the CHPs will provide Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) at Furness and steam through a waste heat boiler at the Lancaster facility. On both sites they will be connected
to the trust’s HV network via a new step- up transformer and ring main unit. Good lighting levels are known to have
a positive effect on patient outcomes in healthcare environments, and the EPC will also see upgrades to lighting systems, taking advantage of the latest LED technology through the installation of new fittings at all three sites. Further energy-saving measures will
include new pumps and all interventions will be guaranteed by Veolia, which will also provide a comprehensive 15-year maintenance service for the CHP units. Commenting on the project, Estelle
Brachlianoff, Veolia’s senior executive vice-president for the UK & Ireland, said: “Enabling the NHS to become more sustainable and helping to focus budgets on patient care is very important as it enhances facilities and directly improves healthcare. “Energy Performance Contracts meet
these aims by delivering the necessary investment and payback to upgrade energy provision, reduce carbon emissions, and build long-term energy resilience.”
