New CHP for Nottingham City Hospital

Decorative image New
Vital Energi has secured a £25mn contract with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust to reduce the Trust’s carbon footprint by 14,000 tonnes a year and guarantee energy savings of approximately £1.8mn a year for the Nottingham City Hospital. 

The City Hospital currently relies on aged gas and coal-fired boilers for heating and hot water, which Vital Energi will replace with a new energy centre equipped with combined heat and power (CHP) units to provide heating and electricity throughout the hospital. The old laundry building will be demolished as part of the project. 

Vital Energi will also install renewable generation and energy conservation measures around the site, such as LED lighting, 300 kW of solar PV panels, and 342 kW of air source heat pumps. The project received grant funding from the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), administered by Salix.
