CHP helping health care facilities
CHP systems are already helping a number of Ontario hospitals to reduce their emissions and increase energy efficiency, while boosting their ability to remain fully operational during a power emergency. The hospitals listed below have sufficient on-site CHP and/or diesel generating capacity to meet 100% of their electricity needs during a blackout.
