Ensuring uninterrupted power for hospitals and healthcare facilities
Hospitals and assisted living facilities are more than just buildings; they are lifelines of our communities. These critical healthcare facilities must operate continuously, 24/7, to provide essential medical services, emergency care, and life-saving treatments. Any disruption in power can have catastrophic consequences, affecting patient care, surgical procedures, and the operation of vital medical equipment.
Why hospitals and assisted living facilities can't afford outages
Hospitals rely on a steady power supply to support a range of functions:
- Critical loads: Patients and staff depend on life safety equipment, lighting, emergency and operating rooms, life support apparatus, and intensive care units.
- Patient care: Continuous power is essential for life-support systems, monitoring devices, and patient care equipment.
- Operational uptime: Administrative functions, medical records, medical supply, vaccine refrigeration, and communication systems require uninterrupted power to maintain hospital operations.

Problem
Hospital leadership required a truly resilient backup power solution after the failure of their diesel generators in a multi-day power outage. The unprotected load caused a cascading impact that required a full site evacuation resulting in $6 million in lost revenue.
Solution
Enchanted Rock’s natural gas generators provide 2.8 MW reiliency:
- Up to 100x cleaner local emissions than diesel generators
- 99.999% combined reliability + red plug life safety requirements
- 24/7/365 monitoring + optimization to detect and prevent outages
Results
During Winter Storm Uri in 2021, the hospital lost power for over 4 hours. Enchanted Rock’s solution ensured uninterrupted operations, allowing planned procedures to proceed without disruption. Evacuation of patients, supplies, and equipment was avoided.
