Non-profit academic medical centre Tampa General Hospital has opened a new central energy plant as an essential feature of its $550m master facility plan.
The new 16,000ft2 energy plant was specially built to ensure reliable power supply for the 1,041-bed hospital.

Particularly, the facility will provide power supply during potential disruptions to electric service such as storms.
The four-storey energy plant comprises four generators and is capable of supplying enough 100% power to the main campus of Tampa General.
Tampa General design and construction senior director Dustin Pasteur said: “This additional generation capacity will take our campus from 50% emergency power to 100% redundant power.
