The Princess Royal Hospital NHS Trust had experienced operational difficulties and reduced efficiencies in meeting the load profile with
their existing boilers. The Trust decided that Contract Energy Management would provide them with an ideal solution enabling them to
focus on their core service provision - patient care.
MCL Energy removed the Trust's existing coal firing steam boilers, replacing them with modern high-efficiency gas fired units, installing control & metering without disruption to hospital services. The project was funded in full by MCL Energy.
"The installation has gone very smoothly and I have to say that the hospital has suffered very little disruption during the installation,
which has made my job much easier. It is refreshing to find a company like MCL that appreciates how important the boiler house is to
the running of the hospital."
