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 :
WE DO NOT RETAIN ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES, BUT:
This scoring should be revisited as institutions located in Massachusetts can no longer retain environmental attributes under the state's new solar incentive program (SMART Program) for onsite solar PV projects. The utilities retain all environmental attributes.
It is not financially feasible for an institution Endicott's size to install the over 1MW of solar PV we have on campus without our state incentive programs.
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:

Additional documentation to support the submission:
Electricity use, by source (percentage of total, 0-100):
| Percentage of total electricity use (0-100) | |
| Biomass | 0 |
| Coal | 6 |
| Geothermal | 0 |
| Hydro | 7 |
| Natural gas | 44 |
| Nuclear | 36 |
| Solar photovoltaic | 4 |
| Wind | 4 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | --- |
A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
Based on ISO New England report.
ISO reports 8% other renewable. Here we have spit that between wind and solar.
Endicott hosts a large Solar PV array, but does not keep the SRECs.
Energy used for heating buildings, by source::
| Percentage of total energy used to heat buildings (0-100) | |
| Biomass | 0 |
| Coal | 0 |
| Electricity | 0 |
| Fuel oil | 10 |
| Geothermal | 0 |
| Natural gas | 90 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | 0 |

WE DO NOT RETAIN ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES FOR OUR SOLAR PV, BUT:

It is not financially feasible for an institution Endicott's size to install the over 1MW of solar PV we have on campus without our state incentive programs. Our projects support the renewable energy market and increase visibility while generating clean energy that is used onsite.
