Norwood Medical adds ENGIE Wind Power to Sustainability Commitment

DAYTON and HOUSTON – Feb. 5, 2025 – Norwood Medical LLC (Dayton) and ENGIE Resources LLC, a subsidiary of ENGIE North America (ENGIE), announce a five-year renewable energy contract. The agreement brings renewable wind energy from ENGIE to Norwood Medical’s headquarters campus in Dayton.

Under the terms of a five-year agreement, Norwood Medical will initially match 50% of its electricity consumption at ¬¬¬¬¬four locations, increasing its commitment to 100% for eleven buildings over the term, including approximately 120,000 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from ENGIE’s Priddy Wind Project in Texas.

Norwood Medical will procure Green-e® Certified RECs that will ultimately deliver the equivalent environmental benefits of avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions from 52 million pounds of coal burned, or 47,223 metric tons of CO2*. Green-e® RECs are certified by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions to verify exclusive use of renewable electricity within an electricity market.

The agreement supports a Norwood Medical objective to reduce carbon emissions. “We have a goal of 50% reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 versus baseline year of 2021, and net zero by 2050,” said Jeremiah Allen, Vice President, Engineering. “Reducing our impact on the environment is vitally important. Leveraging renewable electricity will help us hit our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2021 levels.”

Serving as an advisor on this agreement is Statistical Energy (Dublin, OH). “We are proud to bring together two carbon champions,” said Michael Jackson, CEO/Partner, Statistical Energy. “This agreement is proof that renewable energy can be structured in a manner that addresses market volatility and meets the needs of a growing, commercial electricity customer with a commitment to reduce carbon through renewable energy.”

“Norwood asked us for a comprehensive analysis of their usage, plans for growth, historic prices and the forward fixed market. This led us to a structure with some market-based risk and float on the market, rather than to lock in a price now,” said Ron Cantlie, President/Partner at Statistical Energy. “Norwood chose optionality to lock in later, or not lock at all. It addresses the changing nature of supply and demand on the PJM grid.”

North Shore Community Health Enters Renewable Energy Agreement with ENGIE

SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS and HOUSTON – Dec. 2, 2024 – North Shore Community Health has
entered into a two-year renewable energy agreement with ENGIE Resources LLC, a subsidiary of ENGIE
North America (ENGIE). North Shore Community Health Center (NSCH) will receive Renewable Energy
Credits (RECs) to match 100% of forecasted consumption for its three northeast Massachusetts
locations.

“Embracing an environmentally friendly mindset benefits communities of all shapes and sizes. Our
commitment to sustainability is one step on a journey towards creating healthier and vibrant
communities,” said Maggie Brennan, President and CEO.

NSCH is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) with three full-time sites and two school-based health
centers in Salem, Peabody, and Gloucester, serving 14,000 patients annually. NSCH provides highquality, culturally competent primary care, including medical, dental, behavioral health, and substance use
disorder services. NSCH also offers chronic disease management, health education, language
interpretation, and health insurance enrollment assistance to ensure accessible healthcare for all. NSCH
is committed to serving everyone, regardless of ability to pay, and uses a sliding fee scale for its services
based on family size and income.

Based on national Health Center Program data, FQHCs in the United States provide accessible and
comprehensive primary care to more than 30 million patients, or 8.3% of the population.

NSCH has also undertaken other environmental-focused project initiatives including: energy-efficient LED
light upgrades, implementing motion-sensor controlled lighting for exam rooms, fostering environmentally
friendly dining practices, and retaining a hybrid work model to help lower emissions created by long
commutes.

“We serve more than 200 hospitals across our footprint,” said Ted Conway, business development
manager at ENGIE Resources. “It’s an honor to serve this sector and we admire the commitment of
NSCH to provide vital community services and make a significant contribution to support renewable
energy.”

The Green-e® certified RECs purchased in the agreement will equal 100% of North Shore’s demand,
equivalent to the CO2 emissions from nearly 302,325 pounds of coal burned, or the greenhouse gas
emissions avoided by 95.3 tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled.* NSCH will also achieve budget
certainty throughout the agreement term with a fixed price structure.

Green-e® RECs represent the environmental benefits of one MWh of renewable energy, and are certified
by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions. Certification ensures that RECs are properly accounted
for and that no double counting takes place.

Serving as advisor on the agreement is Voyager Power, Massachusetts. Voyager provides solutions
across the energy value chain and helps commercial and industrial customers to achieve sustainability
targets and energy compliance.

Adventist Health and ENGIE North America Announce Completion of Energy Resilient Medical Facility in Paradise, California

Adventist Health facility, located in a community heavily damaged by the 2018 Camp Fire, now delivers safe, reliable and clean energy through solar & microgrid project.

 

Houston and Roseville, Calif. – April 1, 2021 – Adventist Health and ENGIE North America today announced the completion of their solar and microgrid project in Paradise, California. The Feather River Health Care facility includes a one-megawatt hour energy storage system combined with 425 kilowatts of solar and new, permanent back-up generator. The new, integrated system is designed to deliver clean energy while ensuring energy resiliency to continue to serve the community during public safety power shutoff (PSPS) events. Adventist Health’s hospital was heavily damaged by one of the most destructive fires in California history, the 2018 Camp Fire, and the Feather River Health Center is now the main location for healthcare services available on the ridge.
 
“After our Feather River hospital was severely damaged, we wanted to provide better reliability to the community with new solutions that would allow us to be fully operational during any future power outages,” said Tim Williams, Administrative Director, Physician & Outpatient Services, Adventist Health. “Building long-term resiliency is key in this region impacted by risk of natural disasters and subsequent PSPS events. As energy reliability and resiliency planning becomes paramount across the United States, we are gratified by the outcome of this project, but more importantly proud of the immediate impact it will provide the ridge community.” 
 
In case of a power outage, the microgrid controller energy storage system will isolate the facility from the grid, allowing the facility to be powered by solar, the energy storage system and generator thereby creating a microgrid. The microgrid will use its own internal battery storage to stabilize the facility loads and it will also control the generation from both the solar system and the 250 kW permanent generator, allowing Adventist Health to maintain a stable energy source to the facility during the outage. The transfer of power from the utility to the microgrid happens in less than one second, creating a seamless transfer. 
 
“The transition from traditional back-up power solutions to cleaner, healthier, and more intelligent energy systems has recently become much easier and more attainable for facilities of all sizes — especially critical in the healthcare field,” said Courtney Jenkins, Vice President and General Manager at ENGIE. “ENGIE is proud to provide a reliable framework for how to meet the energy resiliency needs of hospitals and medical facilities, that by definition need to be the most resilient and safe assets in their communities. Helping to demonstrate the power of solar microgrids at the Feather River Health Center has been a meaningful opportunity to support Adventist Health’s impact to the ridge community.
