Electric Hospitals Save Cash and Cut Emissions | Australia News

Switching Australia’s public hospitals to electric power could slash annual energy costs by nearly $60 million and cut carbon emissions by over 300,000 tonnes—equivalent to removing 147,000 gas cars from the road. Led by Healthy Futures, this initiative targets replacing gas-powered systems with clean electricity, saving hospitals money, boosting energy security, and improving patient health by reducing pollution and climate-related strain. A $1.5 million government investment is now being sought to fund a feasibility study for nine hospital upgrades, setting the stage for a greener, more resilient healthcare system by 2037.
