Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township, Pa., is building an $18 million central utility plant that is expected to provide clean energy for decades, according to an article on the Times-Leader website.
Scheduled for a fall completion, the 13,500-square-foot facility’s design will allow GWV to operate independent of the public power grid should a natural disaster strike.
The plant will house a variety of energy-efficient equipment including cogeneration, electric chillers, boilers, chilled water storage, an emergency generator, underground diesel fuel oil storage tanks and a steam turbine chiller.
The projects fits into Geisinger’s broader effort to reduce the Danville-based health system’s carbon footprint.
