Solar projects inaugurated at Vizag Hospitals to promote green healthcare
Government hospitals in Visakhapatnam have installed rooftop solar power projects to reduce energy costs and promote sustainable healthcare. The initiative, supported by AMNS India, aims to lower the carbon footprint of public medical institutions.
Why it matters
This reflects a growing trend of integrating renewable energy into public infrastructure to improve operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
District Collector M. Abhishikth Kishore inaugurated 100 kW rooftop solar power projects on Saturday (July 25) at the Government Mental Care Hospital and the Visakha Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS). Both institutions received 50 kW capacity systems aimed at cutting energy costs and transitioning towards clean energy.
Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Kishore commended the efforts of AMNS India for bolstering sustainable healthcare infrastructure across government hospitals through its Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) initiative.
The installation forms part of a broader district-wide program by AMNS India to equip government medical facilities in Visakhapatnam with renewable energy systems. The company previously completed rooftop solar installations at King George Hospital (KGH) with a 120 kW capacity and Victoria Hospital with an 80 kW capacity in 2025, while an additional 50 kW installation is currently underway at RCD Hospital.
