Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
FY 2016-17 is the performance year for this credit.
Elon catalyzed the construction of a nearly 15 acre solar farm. It was completed in October 2015. The farm is expected to generate 4,500 megawatt hours of electricity annually. The facility is on university property that is leased to Loy Farm Solar LLC, a private company responsible for the construction and operation of the facility. The electricity is sold through the owner of the facility to Duke Energy and delivered directly to the power grid where it, along with electricity from other sources, is utilized by regional customers.
The solar farm models responsible global citizenship and benefits Elon students by providing an opportunity to see and learn from the system.
