the benefits
This energy strategy will save the
Cambridge University Hospitals
NHS Foundation Trust almost
30 000 tonnes of carbon a year,
which equates to a 47% reduction
in carbon emissions over 25 years.
This will help the Trust surpass its
sustainability targets by 27%.
Grid electricity and gas
consumption will be reduced by
more than 50%, providing the Trust
with increased energy resilience
and with predictably priced
energy over the long term.
The new energy centre will be
able to provide heat and power to
future NHS developments.
overview
MITIE, the strategic outsourcing
and energy services company, has
been awarded preferred bidder
status to develop and operate
an efficient, sustainable energy
centre for Cambridge University
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The new energy centre will provide
low-carbon heating, hot water
and electricity for Addenbrooke’s
and Rosie Hospitals, saving the Trust
almost 30 000 tonnes of carbon
a year and reducing carbon
emissions by 47% over 25 years.
the challenge
The Trust needed to upgrade
its existing energy centre, the
NHS’ first combined heat and
power plant, which has provided
sustainable energy to the campus
for the past 20 years.
With an expanding campus that
includes the world-renowned
Addenbrooke’s Hospital, there
was a need to develop a state-
of-the-art energy centre to deliver
guaranteed, efficient energy
with carbon savings to meet
sustainability targets.
Key facts
• MITIE’s innovative energy centre
for the Cambridge University
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
will reduce its annual carbon
footprint by almost 30 000
tonnes, cutting current carbon
emissions by 47% over 25 years
• The state-of-the-art energy centre
will enable the Trust to surpass its
sustainability targets by 27%
• Grid energy consumption will
be reduced by more than 50%,
protecting the Trust from rising
energy prices
a model for
energy innovation
state-of-the-art energy centre for Cambridge
University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
energy strategy
The Cambridge University
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
has partnered with MITIE’s Asset
Management division to develop
and operate an innovative energy
centre over a 25-year contract.
The centre will be developed with
the NHS Carbon and Energy Fund,
which supports projects that meet
targets for carbon savings.
With advances in technologies,
the energy centre will replace the
Trust’s existing combined heat and
power plant, which uses clinical
waste produced onsite as a fuel
source to provide heat and hot
water to the campus.
The replacement energy centre
will house a new incinerator and
a highly efficient Rolls Royce
combined heat and power plant,
which will use sustainable wood
chip as a fuel source.
The state-of-the-art energy centre
will deliver low-carbon, low-cost
energy to Addenbrooke’s Hospital
from 2015, with the potential to
supply further NHS developments
planned for the Cambridge
Biomedical Campus.
