Total energy consumption (electric and non-electric)

Total energy consumption, performance year:
107,100.50 MMBtu

Clean and renewable energy sources

Clean and renewable electricity

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) 0 Kilowatt-hours 0 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:
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.

Clean and renewable thermal energy

Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy 0 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources 0 MMBtu

Sierra magazine requests the following information from U.S. institutions that wish to share data with that organization:

Electricity use, by source (percentage of total, 0-100):
Percentage of total electricity use (0-100)
Biomass 4.38
Coal 0.27
Geothermal 0
Hydro 7
Natural gas 45
Nuclear 23
Solar photovoltaic 3
Wind 3
Other (please specify and explain below) 14.35

A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
Based on ISO New England 2022 report. "Other" includes mainly oil and net imports. https://www.iso-ne.com/about/key-stats/resource-mix

Endicott hosts three onsite solar systems over 1MW in capacity, but does not keep the RECs.

Percentage of total energy used to heat buildings (0-100)
Biomass 0
Coal 0
Electricity 0
Fuel oil 5.35
Geothermal 0
Natural gas 94.65

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

This scoring should be revisited as institutions located in Massachusetts can no longer retain environmental attributes for onsite solar PV projects under the state's new solar incentive program (SMART Program). The local 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. Our projects support the renewable energy market and increase visibility while generating clean energy that is used onsite.
