Richmond University Medical Center

Richmond University Medical Center’s investment in an on-site cogeneration power plant reflects a strong commitment to building a more efficient and resilient healthcare facility. By producing electricity and thermal energy on-site from a single fuel source, the system allows RUMC to make more efficient use of energy while reducing emissions and operating costs. Just as importantly, the cogeneration plant strengthens the hospital’s energy resiliency, providing greater reliability and helping RUMC maintain critical operations during power disruptions and emergencies. This long-term investment in sustainable infrastructure demonstrates RUMC’s leadership in advancing energy efficiency and resiliency across Staten Island.
