Total energy consumption (all sources, excluding transportation fuels), performance year :
1,916,420.65 MMBtu

Option 1 

Total clean and renewable electricity generated on site during the performance year and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes:
5,576 MMBtu

None
A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
PV solar consists of 88 systems across ASUs four campuses and Research Park, and has a capacity of 24.1 MWdc. The systems are either roof mounted, ground mounted, parasols, and on top of parking garages or over parking lots.

Option 2 

Non-electric renewable energy generated on-site, performance year:
8,557 MMBtu

None
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
-67 MMBtu system at Nursing & Healthcare Innovation -7,625 MMBtu (Thermal) at Sun Devil Fitness Center Tempe - 132 MMBtu (DHW) at Sun Devil Fitness Center Tempe -385 MMBtu system at Sun Devil Fitness Complex West -348 MMBtu at Sun Devil Fitness Complex Polytechnic

Option 3 

Total clean and renewable electricity generated by off-site projects that the institution catalyzed and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes, performance year:
0 MMBtu

None
A brief description of off-site, institution-catalyzed, renewable electricity generating devices:
---

Option 4 

Total third-party certified RECs, GOs and/or similar renewable energy products (including renewable electricity purchased through a utility-provided certified green power option) purchased during the performance year:
141,262.67 MMBtu

A brief description of the RECs, GOs and/or similar renewable energy products, including contract timeframes:
Some on-site solar RECs have been transferred. ASU has purchased RECs for FY15 that will be delivered on or before April 15th, 2016. ASU has also purchased RECs for FY16 that will be delivered on or before April 15th, 2017. The amount purchased is sufficient to offset the estimated amount of renewable energy certificates sold related to on-site solar generation during FY16.
