Scope Of Work
North Chicago Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center needed an innovative way to improve energy service and reduce costs for their 40 building and 400 bed campus. The Center also needed the capability to utilize a secure source of energy and develop a campus energy self sufficiency program with low risk and no impact to the hospital’s services and all of this at no cost to VA or taxpayers.
Energy Systems Group developed a cutting edge solution that leveraged the Enhanced- Use-Lease concept to dramatically improve the energy security for the entire campus. In partnership with the VA leadership, ESG designed, constructed and now operates a full-service energy center which provides electricity and steam to the medical center and associated facilities. In addition, this energy center will also serve the needs of adjacent Navy training barracks to maximize utility effectiveness and cost savings to the U.S Government. Through this on-going $29 million partnership, VA benefits include:
Financing Package to Pay for Projects Without Any Capital Expense from VA
Reliable & Secure Source of Energy to Meet all Campus Needs
Reduced Energy and Operation Costs to Support Existing Hospital Mission
Energy Self-Sufficiency for the Veterans Affairs Medical Center
