Solar as a Strategic Lever for NHS Decarbonisation
Commercial & Industrial Theatre
project case studies
This session explores how solar is moving from a bolt-on technology to a strategic enabler of NHS decarbonisation. Drawing on real projects and national delivery experience, it will examine how solar deployment has accelerated across the NHS, what investment has been achieved, and how different delivery models — including on-site generation, private wire and sleeved power — are shaping future opportunities.
It will also look at how solar supports NHS net zero targets for 2032 and 2040, why boards increasingly see it as infrastructure rather than just sustainability, and how revenue-generating power strategies can help unlock wider estate decarbonisation, particularly heat.
The session will highlight lessons for developers and suppliers seeking to work effectively with the NHS and understand how to align solutions with its strategic priorities.
