Clean and renewable electricity
| 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) | 355 Kilowatt-hours | 1.21 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
Historically, but outside of thie reporting period, Hope College purchased 180,000kWh for two years totaling 360,000kWh as part of a LEED project.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
Currently Hope does not have any significant renewable energy generated on-site but this is something we are actively pursuing. We do have a small solar panel system that was deisgned by Intro to Engineering students. Since coming online the system has generated 886 kWh (April 2021-December 2022).
