An initiative to provide renewable energy to hospitals in Stratford upon Avon, England, took another step forward recently when Community Energy Warwickshire invited investments in the second phase of its solar-powered hospitals project.

Community Energy Warwickshire, a community-owned energy co-operative, installed the first phase of solar panels at Stratford and Warwick hospitals more than two years ago, according to an article on the Click Green website. 

The installations help the hospitals save on electricity bills and carbon emissions. Community Energy Warwickshire is installing more solar panels on the Leamington Spa Hospital in Whitnash and on a new office building on the Warwick Hospital site, a plan that will double the amount of green energy available.

Community Energy Warwickshire is now trying to raise £110,000 to pay for the new installations. Investors are being offered a 3 percent interest rate on their investment.
