Total energy consumption (all sources, excluding transportation fuels), performance year :
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:
A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
2019 Update:
CNM has entered into a contract with Affordable Solar Inc. for a 1.3 MW Solar Facility at West-side Campus that should be complete by Spring 2020.
Gas that was consumed by Smith Brasher prior to Ground Source Heat=3,348 MMbtu (2014 calendar year). This facility no longer consumes any gas to electrify the building.
Solar produced on site in 2017-2018 FY=1038 MMbtu.
3,348+1038 = 4,386 MMbtu.
2014> We have 3 buildings on campus: Rio Rancho, West Side 1 and Ken Chappy that utilize on-site solar photo-voltaic systems for a part of their energy source (reported by Luis Campos).
Non-electric renewable energy generated on-site, performance year:
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
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:
A brief description of off-site, institution-catalyzed, renewable electricity generating devices:
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:
A brief description of the RECs, GOs and/or similar renewable energy products, including contract timeframes:
CNM purchases RECs at the completion of each new instructional facility for a predetermined time frame. The goal is work on creating opportunities for generating energy. CNM has plans for 2014 to install solar panels and is investigating power purchase agreements to install larger solar arrays.
