The Horder Centre takes major step towards sustainability with solar energy project

We are excited to announce that work is set to begin on the installation of 753 solar panels at The Horder Centre, marking a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. 

The new solar panels will generate clean, renewable energy, helping to power the hospital while reducing reliance on non-renewable sources. This initiative aligns with our long-term environmental goals, aiming to cut energy costs, lower carbon emissions, and contribute to a greener future for our community. 

The project is expected to take eight to ten weeks and will cover most areas of the building including theatres, the ward (Dufferin), reception, the physiotherapy department, and the catering department. 

The installation process, carried out by our contractors JPS Group, has been carefully planned to ensure minimal disruption to patients, visitors, and staff. Work will take place in designated areas, and strict safety measures will be in place to maintain normal hospital operations. 

We are also pleased to share that a similar solar panel installation is planned for our sister site in East Grinstead, The McIndoe Centre, later in the year.
