Healthcare

Enabling healthcare services across the UK

Our National Health Service (NHS) runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making it one of the highest energy consumers of any UK institution. In 2023, rising energy costs meant the NHS spent an eye-watering £ 1.2 billion on its annual energy bill, running power-hungry, highly specialised equipment to ensure its 1.7 million daily patients’ needs are met. Established in 1948, the NHS has nearly 1,000 UK hospitals, with around 2000 buildings older than the NHS itself and built without energy efficiency in mind. Driven by modern-day circumstances of environmental impact, legally binding commitments and rising energy costs, there is no doubt of an urgent need for hospitals to improve their energy efficiency and resilience.

Improving the efficiency of electrical infrastructure as a cost-saving measure is often overlooked, but there is a missed opportunity that can add hundreds of thousands to the health sector’s bottom line. We have worked with over 200 hospitals and trusts to assist the NHS in making the right choices in upgrading its infrastructure, with all of our transformers being designed to comply with the latest Ecodesign Regulations for transformer losses. Our amorphous core transformer range surpasses these regulatory targets, offering the maximum savings possible from a transformer replacement project.
