Hosted by the Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives, in partnership with ACHE of Massachusetts and ACHE Rhode Island!
The founders of Patriot Emerging Technologies have helped healthcare executives for the past two decades make their hospitals more energy resilient, and save millions of dollars on energy spend leveraging clean, on-site power solutions like fuel cells, energy storage, and combined heat and power. This webinar will highlight the tools that can help hospitals remain open during grid outages, and reduce OPEX without capital in these challenging financial times. Patriot Emerging Technologies will be providing case studies of local hospitals that have deployed innovative power solutions like fuel cells to make their facilities more available to customers, and help them save money in times when the electrical grid cost keeps rising.
This webinar will educate healthcare executives on how to leverage innovative but proven forms of on-site distributed energy to keep critical hospitals running, despite a fragile electrical grid in New England.
It will also show how healthcare customers are leveraging Power Purchase Agreements to save up to 30% of their cost of electricity without using capital for projects.
