Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Under "Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems)," the 36,294,194 kWh represents electricity generated by ASU's 24 MW of on-campus solar. We do not retain the RECs for these systems. However, this electricity feeds directly into our campus buildings and as such does not suffer from transmission and distribution losses. Please note that this reported electricity for on-site systems is only that which is directly consumed by our campus buildings. Any electricity that was exported to the regional grid because instantaneous on-site generation exceeded instantaneous on-site demand was not included. Additionally, for GHG accounting purposes, this electricity is reported in OP-6 as a grid mix matched with Green-e RECs.
