Coal to Gas—Medical Campus Gets a Generation Transformation

Release Date: 06/01/2020 | Darrell Proctor | Power Magazine

The 250-acre medical campus is home to hospitals, medical office buildings, and clinics, and is located in a busy area on Milwaukee鈥檚 west side. Five primary tenants of the complex formed a consortium to address the plant鈥檚 deficiencies, an important task because the plant provided heat and chilled water for all the campus鈥� buildings. The consortium had to decide whether the campus would continue to be the power customer of a utility, or whether it should purchase the plant and have direct control over the expansion and renovation needed to answer future campus growth. Purchasing the plant ensured ongoing reliability.
