Total energy consumption, performance year:
Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 45,123 Kilowatt-hours | 153.96 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
Solar Panels at the Miller Center:
The system is net-metered system of 40,768 w, and has 182 PV modules, with an estimated energy production of 44,880 kWh per year.
According to our utility company, Burlington Electric Company, in FY2021, the Lakeside PV system generated 153.85 MMBtus or 45123 KWH

Champlain has a 90 AC-KW array system at 194 St. Paul Street. The net-metering application for 194 St Paul St was filed on 6/28/2018, and Champlain transferred the RECs to the utility. (so Champlain does not own the RECs on this one.)
Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy | 1,650.66 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:
Geothermal Systems - There is geothermal heating and cooling for Perry, Juniper, Valcour, Butler, Whiting & CCM
