Trust saves cash on energy

 Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is saving money on its energy bills in Crewe, with a new solar panel development at Leighton Hospital funded by Great British Energy. 

The NHS is the single biggest public sector energy user, with an estimated annual energy bill of around £1.3 billion, that has almost doubled since 2019. 

Last year, the Trust was awarded £32,612 to install solar panels at Leighton Hospital, helping to generate clean power and deliver reductions in energy costs. 

92 roof-top solar panels were installed in April and are now live.
