Clients We Serve
Healthcare
Aging infrastructure, unpredictable outages, and rising energy costs put healthcare facilities under constant pressure. On-site power generation keeps operations stable.
What We Solve
When the grid goes down, healthcare facilities need more than basic life safety power. On-site generation keeps full operations running, protecting patients, staff, and the systems that support them both.
Select a challenge to explore the issues facilities like yours face.
Backup Power Isn't Enough
Most backup systems cover the bare minimum. Healthcare facilities need power that goes further to keep HVAC, sterilization, and patient systems running through any outage.
Outage Resilience with Island Mode
Our microgrid systems go beyond traditional backup generation, with island mode capability that allows facilities to maintain power during grid outages. Depending on site design and operating requirements, systems can transition to island mode automatically or manually to support critical operations through grid events.
High Energy Costs
Healthcare facilities spend more per square foot on energy than almost any other building type. Around-the-clock operations, high thermal demands, and aging infrastructure drive energy costs.
On-Site Generation with Predictable Pricing
Our combined heat and power (CHP) systems reduce gas and electricity bills by 5–20%, with long-term pricing structures that insulate healthcare facilities from utility rate increases.
Capital Committed to Patient Care
Healthcare organizations need to direct capital toward clinical equipment, facility upgrades, and patient care. Energy infrastructure projects, however necessary, often can’t compete for budget.
Energy as a Service, No Capital Required
Under our Energy as a Service (EaaS) model, Unison Energy finances, builds, and operates the system. Healthcare organizations pay only for the energy they use.
The On-Site Advantage
Performance, backed by ownership
We don’t walk away after commissioning. We finance, own, and operate the systems we build, aligning our performance with yours. Our 24/7 monitoring and in-house technicians protect performance minute by minute, year after year.

Our Solutions
Demand more from your power
Step 1: Initial Analysis
Understanding Your Energy Profile
We analyze utility costs, energy usage, and thermal requirements to identify where on-site generation can reduce costs and strengthen resilience.
Step 2: Ground-Level Review
Assessing the Site
Our engineers assess your facility to evaluate critical load requirements, available space, thermal integration, and utility connections.
Step 3: ESA Contract
Locking in Your Project
We finalize system design, pricing, and contract terms including financing structure, aligned with your clinical priorities and capital constraints.
Step 4: Construction
Engineering Your System
We manage engineering, procurement, permitting, and construction, coordinating with your facilities team to minimize disruption to operations.
Step 5: Commissioning
Testing and Optimization
We commission and test the system under live conditions, validate island mode performance across critical and non-critical loads, and secure all required permits.
Step 6: Monitoring
Maintaining Long-Term Performance
Our technicians monitor performance 24/7, conduct preventive maintenance, and respond immediately to protect patient care continuity.
Smarter Energy for Better Care
Healthcare organizations can't afford gaps in power or capital. Let's evaluate how on-site generation can strengthen your resilience, reduce energy costs, and free up budget for patient care.
FAQS
Have questions about healthcare?
Yes. CHP-based microgrids strengthen compliance with CMS Emergency Preparedness standards by improving power continuity, supporting extended outage operations, and reducing reliance on limited-duration backup systems.
Yes. CHP reduces purchased utility electricity and offsets boiler fuel consumption by reusing waste heat, lowering total energy spend and improving long-term cost certainty under an Energy Services Agreement (ESA).
