Hospitals run 24/7. That is the strongest solar-plus-storage math in C&I.
Acute-care hospitals, ambulatory campuses, medical office buildings. High 24/7 base load, heavy demand charges in ConEd, PSE&G, Eversource and UI territories, plus §6417 elective pay for nonprofit systems. NOI Energy finances the assets, owns them, and pays your system a portfolio-scale NOI line item.
Why this segment fits
Continuous load
24/7 clinical operation means on-site generation and storage are consumed on site.
Demand-charge depth
Imaging, sterilization and chillers create peaks that price the whole month.
Nonprofit tax status
§6417 elective pay lets tax-exempt systems reach credit value they otherwise cannot use.
Owner earns income. NOI carries the risk.
NOI Energy designs, finances, builds, owns and operates the on-site solar, battery and EV assets. The owner signs a site license and, at commissioning, begins receiving a monthly NOI payment.
The property or tenants (per the structure chosen at contract) buy energy on site at a discount to the utility rate. NOI Energy monetizes the federal tax credits, depreciation and any state incentives. The owner incurs zero capex, zero debt, and zero O&M obligation for 20+ years.
- 01Owner shares 12 months of utility bills + facility drawings

- 03Site walk + structural / electrical assessment (2 to 3 weeks)
- 04Final proposal with binding NOI figure + compliance credit
- 05LOI → site license execution → interconnection
- 06Construction: typically 90 to 180 days from permit approval
Four forces stacked against inaction
Regulatory pressures and rate structures reshaping the Northeast energy decision for this segment. Confirm current statute specifics with your tax and legal advisors.
Clinical operations consume generation and stored energy around the clock.
Elective pay applies to nonprofit health systems; confirm eligibility with tax counsel.
Boston campus buildings fall under BERDO 2.0 emissions limits.
Storage shifts the billed demand interval that sets the monthly charge.
