Case Study: U.S. Hospital achieves 100% energy self-sufficiency and 50% emissions reduction with Veolia North America CHP microgrid

CHP Operations Ensure Reliable Energy for US Hospital

US Hospital, a leading academic medical center in the Northeast with three hospitals and R&D space, needed reliable, uninterrupted energy for critical patient care and research amid increasing extreme-weather risks. Veolia North America was engaged to deliver a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solution and to provide pre‑operations technical consultation, commissioning project management, and a five‑year operations and maintenance contract.

Veolia North America implemented a campus‑scale CHP microgrid that will supply 100% of the hospital’s electricity, heat, hot water, sterilization, and humidification needs with 13 MW of electric capacity and 165,000 lbs/hr of steam. When fully online, the plant is expected to cut campus greenhouse gas emissions by 50% (equivalent to removing more than 4,600 cars annually), deliver substantial operating savings, and ensure resilient, self‑sufficient energy for the campus.
