Reimagining Healthcare Energy: Energy-as-a-Service with Tax-Exempt Capital

Speaking Engagement | February.09.2026 - February.11.2026

The Omni Hotel | San Diego, CA

As hospitals and healthcare organizations confront rising demands for resilient, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure, a transformation is underway. The shift from legacy, owner-funded energy systems to Energy as a Service (EaaS) is redefining how hospitals and healthcare networks power their facilities. EaaS offers a turnkey model – delivering heating, cooling, water, and energy as guaranteed services – while transferring construction, performance, and long-term risk to specialized partners.

Matthew Neuringer and Charles Cardall are participating in the “Energy at the Speed of Care: Energy-as-a-Service with Tax-Exempt Capital” panel alongside industry experts Brandon Seibold (Adventist Health) and Blake Pinell (RBC Capital Markets) on February 10. This session will explore:

Why leading health systems are moving away from asset-heavy, capital-intensive infrastructure – and how that shift is freeing up capital for mission-driven priorities.
How EaaS accelerates project delivery without sacrificing uptime, resilience, or patient care.
What risks healthcare organizations should no longer carry, and how EaaS reshapes long-term accountability.
When EaaS creates strategic advantage – and when traditional models still make sense.

Jenna Magan and Robyn Helmlinger will also be in attendance.

The Healthcare Project Delivery Conference brings together industry leaders, innovators, and partners to shape the future of healthcare infrastructure.
