Clean and renewable energy sources
Clean and renewable electricity
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 1,200,000 Kilowatt-hours | 4,094.40 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 0.00 Kilowatt-hours | 0.00 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
Gonzaga has partnered with Avista Utilities to get 1080 MWH of solar energy from the Lind Solar Farm.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
The Office of Sustainability has a 4 KWH array solar panels installed on its roof to generate and mitigate electricity that was installed in 2018.
Clean and renewable thermal energy
| 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 |

Unbundled renewable energy products
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Purchased RECs, GOs, I-RECs or equivalent unbundled renewable energy products certified by a third party | 12,744,000 Kilowatt-hours | 43,482.53 MMBtu |
A brief description of the unbundled renewable energy products:
Since 2010, 15% or more of Gonzaga's total annual electrical energy consumption is offset through Avista's Buck-A-Block program. Avista purchases Green-e certified REC's to supply the Buck-a-Block program. The REC's or Green Tags, have all renewable attributes intact including CO2 benefits. The Buck-a-Block program is primarily wind, but there are other green-e certified resources used by the source of the program. For example, in 2008, Buck-a-Block was sourced by 77% wind, 15% landfill gas, 7% biomass, and 1% Geo Thermal.
