An 850 kWe CHP system supplied by ENER-G to Salisbury District Hospital, which the cogeneration specialist is also maintaining and servicing, is reducing CO2 emissions at the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust while releasing annual cash savings of over £240,000.
The CHP and district heating system generate most of the hospital’s heating and low temperature hot water requirements, and a third of its electricity needs, while the latter is also feeding hot water and heating to its spinal treatment centre and day surgery unit, located in separate buildings.
Tony McDermott, business development manager (Healthcare) for ENER-G Combined Power, said: “By generating low cost energy, the CHP system will pay for itself within five years. The electricity produced is also exempt from Climate Change Levy carbon taxes. The district heating system provides the perfect constant warm temperature required by people recovering from spinal injuries.”
