Now joined by nine hospitals across metro, regional, rural and remote Australia, the coalition is calling for $1.5 million in the Federal Budget for a feasibility study into climate-resilient energy systems to keep hospitals running during emergencies.How much energy does a hospital use in Australia?Total Australian public hospital energy use was stable for the three years (2016/17 to 2018/19) (Table 1 available in PDF). Renewable energy production/purchase increased from 14/ 4,132 GWh to 94/ 4,122 GWh (from 0.3% to 2.3% of power consumed). Australian renewable grid electricity uptake grew by 8.3% (from 15.7% in 2016/17 to 24% in 2018/19).
Which Australian public hospitals use the most energy?Victoria and New South Wales combined consumed 60% of total Australian public hospital energy (1,288 and 1,206 of 4,122 GWh respectively, 2018/19). Queensland public hospitals consumed 778/4,122 GWh [19% of total energy] and produced/purchased the most renewable electricity (74/778 GWh [9.5%]) of all state public hospitals in 2018/19.
How much energy does a hospital use?Approximately 2.3% (94/4,122 gigawatt-hours) of hospital energy was sourced from renewables, beyond state-wide renewable electricity penetration. The implications:Australian public hospitals are large emitters of greenhouse gases. Hospital fossil fuel energy use and subsequent pollution continues unabated.
Do Victorian hospitals use more energy than NSW?Large hospital heating loads are required particularly overnight in cooler states, thus Victorian public hospitals had higher total energy use than NSW. Our study shows that just 2.3% (14-94 GWh/yr) of Australian public hospital energy use was sourced from renewables between 2016/17 to 2018/19.
How can hospitals address energy use?(8). Hospitals can address energy use in two ways: by increasing efficiency and by transitioning electricity demand to renewable sources (directly through electricity production from solar, wind, waste fuels, and hydrogen, or indirectly, e.g. purchased GreenPower) (4).
How will a new solar project Save the hospital?"This innovative project is expected to save the hospital at least $81,000 each year and reduce emissions by over 3,327 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, while helping the NSW Government to meet our solar targets under the Government Resource Efficiency Policy," she sa
