The Energy Centre, on Antigua St, is due to be completed at the end of the year and be operational early in 2022.
Two new biomass boilers have been installed to replace the current coal-fired boilers.
The new boilers will use sustainably produced wood biomass, which is a renewable resource and affordable.
A Ministry of Health spokesperson says the centre will service the main hospital campus as well as the new Waipapa building.
