Business Energy for Healthcare — clinics, hospitals & care groups
Business electricity and gas comparison for GP practices, private clinics, dental practices, care groups and hospitals, matched to 24/7 clinical demand.
Why healthcare energy is different
Healthcare sites often run 24/7 clinical equipment, refrigeration for vaccines and specimens, and dedicated HVAC to meet infection control. Even small clinics have surprisingly high base loads relative to their footprint.
For hospital-scale sites we also model standby generation, resilience and half-hourly capacity — these dominate the total cost picture at scale.
Key procurement considerations
We build healthcare quotes around:
- 24/7 base load vs peak-only clinical load
- Refrigeration and cold-chain redundancy
- Standby generation and capacity charges
- Reduced VAT eligibility for qualifying charitable or low-usage sites
Typical usage guidance
A GP practice or dental surgery typically uses 20,000-80,000 kWh/year of electricity; hospitals can run into millions of kWh with dedicated HH supplies and standby generation.
Healthcare energy FAQs
Do charitable healthcare sites qualify for reduced VAT?
Charities and non-profits can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on energy supplied for non-business use. We can review your position and prepare the declaration.
