The Canary Islands Government has authorized an investment of 6.46 million euros to modernize the thermal production infrastructure at Doctor Negrín Hospital, located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The initiative, approved by the Governing Council, aims to optimize the energy performance of the healthcare complex. This measure seeks to reduce both the environmental impact of its operations and the running costs associated with maintaining the facilities.
The project will be funded by the Canary Islands Health Service and will receive financial support from the European Union through the Canary Islands Feder 2021-2027 Program. The intervention involves replacing the current eight air-water chillers with a new water-water chiller system equipped with heat sinks.
In addition to upgrading the equipment, an intelligent centralized control system will be implemented. This tool will allow for the automated management of the entire thermal network, ensuring more efficient consumption and improving the quality of service provided to patients.
The bidding process will be conducted through an open and standard procedure. Once the contract is awarded, the work is expected to be completed within a twelve-month period.
