Mariners Hospital, a consumer/utility partnership
Article Abstract:
Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association Inc (FKEC) has forged a deal with Mariners Hospital to develop a "shared" power system. Under the deal, the utility pays for and maintains two emergenct generators at the hospital capable of serving the entire hospital load during emergency conditions. The generators can export power back to FKEC during peak non- emergency load times. As a result, Mariners Hosptal gets the emergency power when it is need without a large upfront capital investment.
