Waste and geothermal energy in heat production will be used to cover about one third of the hospital’s energy consumption.

NIB president and CEO Henrik Normann said: "The NIB-financed project is expected to improve the productivity of the regional hospital, and thus increase the efficiency of public spending on health care.

"Improved public services contribute to the quality of life in the region and ultimately to its economic competitiveness."

The total cost of the project is estimated at about €500m including construction, ICT, medical and other equipment.
