Energy resilience bank focusing on hospitals

Bank will help four New Jersey hospitals stay up and running during outages


The first public infrastructure bank in the nation to focus on energy resilience will help four New Jersey hospitals remain functional during outages, according to an article on the Facility Executive website.
