Engineers from Electricity North West, the distribution network operator, have taken part in the creation of the NHS Nightingale Hospital North West, built at Manchester Central Conference Centre to help the region ease the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak.
Before opening the hospital, Electricity North West engineers ensured the existing electrical infrastructure is sufficient to support the new facility. A second reserve electricity supply was also installed, along with additional assets to protect the new hospital’s power supply.
