A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
There are 5 major Solar PV arrays on Campus with a total of 959 kW capacity. These PV systems provide electricity to the buildings they are installed on. Any excess energy is distributed across the GT electrical system. In addition to the clean electricity provided to the campus, these installations allow for students and researchers an opportunity to study a working PV system installation.
The 4 systems are located at
1) Carbon Neutral Energy Solutions (CNES) Building - 388kW
2) Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons (CULC) - 120kW
3) Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB) - 40kW
4) Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design (KBISD) - 330kW
5) Dalney Street Office Building - 81kW

A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
The 5% in this category is Null Energy from renewable purchases. Georgia Power reports only the null energy output from some renewable generating facilities. Ownership of the associated renewable energy credits (RECs) is specified in each respective power purchase agreement or program tariff. The party that owns the RECs retains the right to use and report them.
