ENGIE has been awarded a contract to carry out a full refurbishment of the Leeds Generating Station Complex (GSC), jointly owned by the University of Leeds and Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
On its completion, ENGIE will operate and maintain the facility for 25 years, guaranteeing energy savings during this period. Located at Leeds General Infirmary, adjacent to the University of Leeds campus, the GSC generates over 50 MW of steam, plus electrical power, hot water, chilled water, and compressed air, for the two sites. The refurbishment’s first phase will include a new 33 kV high-voltage connection and sub-station. The project will also involve replacement of heating, power, and cooling equipment, including over 15 MW of CHP units.
ENGIE will ensure that the GSC remains operational throughout the refurbishment phase to minimise disruption to the university and the hospital. A dedicated team of over 20 ENGIE operational and project staff are based at the GSC.
