Queensland Health laundries will drive down their energy bills by $200,000 thanks to new solar panels.

Group Linen Services is a specialist healthcare laundry and linen hire business owned by Queensland Health with laundries based in Wide Bay, at the Prince Charles Hospital and the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services Steven Miles visited the large-scale laundry in Maryborough today.

“I’m pleased to announce that Planet Ark Power has been awarded the contract and will install solar panels at all GSL laundries – including here in Maryborough,” Mr Miles said.
