Bellin and Gundersen Health System have teamed up with a utility company to help  create an energy-efficient healthcare campus. The newly rebranded Emplify Health has launched the project with Xcel Energy, which will result in the first 100 percent resilient and renewable energy healthcare campuses in the United States.

The all-renewable energy microgrid on the health system’s Onalaska Campus will combine a new battery energy storage system with Gundersen’s existing solar panels and energy generated through a longtime partnership with the La Crosse County Landfill for even greater sustainability and resiliency during power grid outages.
