Sustainable energy solutions business ENER-G has established a specialist new healthcare division following its appointment to a framework of approved contractors that will deliver major low carbon infrastructure improvements across the NHS estate.

ENER-G has been selected by the NHS Shared Business Services Carbon and Energy Fund to tender for and deliver multi-million pound projects to overhaul low carbon supply of electricity, heating and cooling at hospitals across the UK.

The £100 million plus Carbon and Energy Fund (CEF) provides participating Trusts with specialist expertise, rapid project deployment, and capital seed funding that is recovered over a 15-year contract period through guaranteed cost savings underwritten by the appointed contractor.

Greater Manchester based ENER-G, which has delivered 65 low and zero carbon projects in the healthcare sector, has made the first of several key appointments to support its new healthcare division and the management of these complex infrastructure projects.

ENER-G designs, develops, manufactures, operates and finances energy efficient and renewable solutions - providing a complete end-to-end service, including every aspect of energy management. This expertise comprises: energy procurement; consultancy; controls; lighting; air conditioning; combined heat and power manufacture and operation; energy generation from biogas, landfill gas and municipal waste, together with renewable technologies such as solar thermal, ground source heat pumps, air source and gas absorption.

The company offers the broadest combined heat and power product range (4kW to 10MW) in the UK market and has accumulated more than 30 million hours of operating experience across 1,400 installed cogeneration systems - powered by natural gas, biogas, diesel, propane or biodiesel.

The ENER-G Controls business has installed more than 3,000 intelligent building control systems, and has recently launched its tamper proof E-MAGINE building energy management system - a new generation product that is pre-engineered to provide fast installation and commissioning, and assured lifetime delivery on energy costs and carbon savings.

ENER-G has a successful track record of public private partnership. It has worked with The Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust to replace historic electricity, heating and cooling infrastructure with ENER-G’s tri-generation technology and other energy efficient equipment at two acute hospital sites. This has achieved annual operational and energy savings totalling £1.6 million and significant carbon reductions.

At Malvern Community Hospital ENER-G has combined ground source heat pump technology with a combined heat and power system to provide high efficiency, ultra-low carbon heating and power. Other innovative projects completed include Royal Shrewsbury and Sunderland Royal Hospitals, with major initiatives underway at Chelsea and Westminster, Salisbury and Darlington

Derek Duffill, Group Managing Director for ENER-G, said: “ENER-G has already demonstrated the success of imaginative partnerships such as this in decarbonising hospitals to yield substantial environmental and cost benefits without the need for capital expenditure. We have our own manufactured combined heat and power and building controls technologies and are confident that we can supply the complete solution Trusts are seeking, helping them to gain best value and mitigate risk.

“At a time of budgetary pressures and ambitious targets on carbon reduction, ENER-G can provide proven expertise in replacing dated plant with state-of-the art low and zero carbon alternatives that place no financial burden on hospitals or UK tax-payers. This is a win-win arrangement and we look forward to helping the NHS to transform its estate.”
