Ramsay generates 10 million kilowatt hours of solar
December 16, 2024
Ramsay Health Care has achieved a new milestone in its commitment to environmental sustainability, surpassing 10 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar energy generated since launching its solar program in May 2021.
To put this significant milestone into context, according to data published by the Australian Power Regulator, the nationwide average energy consumption for a household of four people is 21.355 kWh/day. Using an average of 25 kWh/day, at more than 10 million kWh, Ramsay has generated the amount of solar energy to power the equivalent of more than 400,000 homes for a full day.
Ramsay Health Care Australia CEO, Carmel Monaghan, said the solar program was part of the company’s sustainability strategy, known as Ramsay Cares.
“We’re also investing in our own energy efficiency further with more than 41,000 LED lights installed at sites around the country,” Ms Monaghan said.
“We are also continuing to reduce anaesthetic gas emissions, cut waste and boost recycling, embed environmentally sustainable design in facility developments, and engage with our suppliers to explore opportunities to decrease supply chain emissions.”
Ramsay’s 2024 Impact Report details the company’s progress to net zero, reporting the Ramsay Group is making steady progress to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.
