Dominica China Friendship Hospital to Benefit from Solar Energy Initiative

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Social Services has partnered with DOMLEC and DirectRelief to install a 98KW photovoltaic system at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital. This initiative aims to reduce the hospital’s operational costs by subsidizing its electrical power consumption with renewable solar energy.

The project, which aligns with Dominica’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, is expected to make a significant impact on the hospital’s long-term energy expenses. By utilizing solar power, the hospital will benefit from a more reliable and cost-effective energy source, ensuring continued efficiency in its daily operations.

Officials from the Ministry of Health have welcomed this initiative, highlighting its environmental and financial benefits. A spokesperson noted that investing in renewable energy for critical facilities like hospitals is a step toward a more resilient and sustainable future.

The installation of the 98KW photovoltaic system represents a milestone in Dominica’s healthcare infrastructure, reinforcing the government’s efforts to enhance energy security and efficiency in key sectors.

Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking project as Dominica continues to lead the way in renewable energy integration.
