Did you know that in 2022, the 九游体育 became the first health system to embed 憂et zero� into legislation to become more green?
Our teams will be working from Tuesday 28 May to Sunday 2 June to dig up parts of Magdala Avenue to make way for new transformers which will 憄ower-up� Whittington Hospital with greener energy.
This means that there will be disruption on the road while works are taking place and access will be limited. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. You can see the exact area where we will be digging up the road .
The current power running through Whittington Hospital is 2600 KVA which in the past, has been enough to power our needs.
The current power running through Whittington Hospital is 2600 KVA which in the past, has been enough to power our needs.
But with new major development projects on the horizon, this level of power is no longer enough, so the new equipment will enable us to reach 8500 KVA - more than 3 times the amount of power.
And this additional power will move our hospital away from fully relying on fossil gas fuel as primary source for heating to a modern electric heat pumps supplied of green electricity. By completion of the project, which will take a few years to complete, we will be looking at an incredible 80% decrease in carbon emissions.
