Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, has teamed up with Apollo Hospitals, Asia’s leading healthcare network, to deploy state-of-the-art energy monitoring and power quality solutions at the Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) in Chennai. This collaboration marks a major step in modernizing the energy infrastructure at one of India’s premier cancer care facilities, ensuring increased reliability, sustainability, and advanced capabilities.
The integrated power infrastructure is designed to optimize diagnostic services, minimize unexpected downtime, and enhance energy efficiency by up to 30%. These improvements are crucial for Apollo Hospitals as they work to provide reliable cancer treatment while advancing sustainability and operational efficiency across both clinical and support operations.
As part of the collaboration, Schneider Electric has implemented its flagship PowerLogic™ ION9000 power quality meters and EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert software. These technologies enable continuous, real-time monitoring of energy use across the APCC campus, ensuring uninterrupted power to critical systems such as proton beam therapy, where precision and reliability are crucial for patient safety and successful treatment outcomes.
“We understand that healthcare infrastructure requires utmost precision, dependability, and intelligence,” said Nikhil Pathak, VP of Digital Energy and Power Products at Schneider Electric. “Our partnership with Apollo Hospitals is an example of how cutting-edge energy solutions can directly contribute to life-saving healthcare. By providing real-time monitoring and resilient power systems at the Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, we’re helping build a sustainable, secure, and future-ready energy ecosystem that supports both clinical excellence and operational resilience.”
Harshad Reddy, Director of Group Oncology & International at Apollo Hospitals, commented “Our partnership with Schneider Electric strengthens our energy infrastructure with enhanced reliability and precision. By utilizing Schneider’s advanced connected technologies and expert advisory, we’ve significantly boosted the performance of mission-critical areas like our Proton Therapy unit. This collaboration is helping Apollo optimize energy management today while laying the groundwork for the healthcare systems of tomorrow.”
In addition to improving operational efficiency, this partnership plays a crucial role in advancing Apollo Hospitals’ sustainability goals. The healthcare network is actively working toward increasing renewable energy usage, reducing energy and water consumption by 10%, and cutting carbon emissions by 30% across its facilities by 2025.
Schneider Electric’s contribution extends beyond providing connected technologies; the company also offers strategic consultancy and continuous energy planning to help Apollo achieve these sustainability objectives. Together, the two organizations are developing a forward-thinking, environmentally-conscious energy infrastructure tailored to meet the evolving demands of modern healthcare.
