Clean and renewable electricity
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 30,000,006 Kilowatt-hours | 102,360.02 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:
FSU’s Utilities provider, City of Tallahassee, completed a 60MW solar farm in 2020. FSU committed to purchasing a large portion of the commercial allocation of the solar farm, which makes FSU the largest single consumer of solar energy from City of Tallahassee. The City of Tallahassee, on behalf of FSU, is retaining and retiring the RECs associated with the monthly energy purchases made by FSU.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
The Sustainability Hub utilizes 12 solar panels which provides the electricity required for educational classes, workshops, and events in an outdoor classroom within the Seminole Organic Garden.
