Cofely has been awarded a Carbon Energy Fund framework contract by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust to construct, operate, and maintain, a new Energy Centre at Rampton Hospital in Nottinghamshire.
The company will guarantee specified carbon and energy savings, delivering projected financial savings of around £112,000 per annum for the Trust.
The Energy Centre will provide heating, hot water, and electricity. The existing coalfired boilers will be replaced with a 1 MW biomass boiler, a 1.2 MW combined heat and power (CHP) engine, and three highefficiency dual-fuel boilers running predominantly on gas.
The new plant will meet all the hospital’s heating and hot water requirements, and approximately 87 per cent of the total electricity demand, reducing annual CO2 emissions by around 8,000 tonnes. The site will convert from a high temperature (115°C) hot water system to a low temperature (90°C) hot water district heating system.
