The government has announced £74 million for clean energy updates for hospitals and military sites.

The money will be split between 82 NHS Trusts, eight military sites and one prison.

The funding can be spent on adopting clean energy technologies and improving energy efficiency.

It is anticipated that the money will save 190 NHS sites £30 million a year on energy bills. 

Lincoln County Hospital for example will receive over £1.2 million to install solar panels, while the Harbour, a mental health hospital in Blackpool, will benefit from £590,000 to install new battery technology.

£9 million will be delivered in partnership with Great British Energy (GBE) for batteries and solar panels.

Minister for Energy Consumers Martin McCluskey said: "More money will go straight to frontline services as hospitals, prisons and military sites benefit from cheaper bills and cutting-edge green technology.  

"This is our clean power mission in action – cutting bills, investing in public services and providing energy security for our country."

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said: "With lower bills for hospitals, better value for money, and a cleaner, more efficient NHS, everybody wins.

"Every penny of these savings will be redirected straight back into frontline care and delivering an NHS patients, staff and the whole country can be proud of again.

"This investment will help us build an NHS fit for the future."
