Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) has collaborated with E.ON control solutions to implement a £15 million energy centre project.
The initiative aims to provide sustainable heating and cooling solutions to the hospital premises.
Phase one of the project involves installing a 4MW heat pump with 2.88MW cooling capacity.
This system utilises 64 boreholes, reaching a depth of 200 metres underground, to extract heat from the earth and air.
This renewable electricity generation process supports the existing gas heating infrastructure.
Phase two will add an additional 8MW of renewable heating capacity, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to sustainable energy practices.
Funding for the project has been secured through Phase 3 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), administered by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
The Carbon and Energy Fund (CEF) facilitated the programme, overseeing major energy infrastructure upgrades within the NHS.
