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) | 31,607 Kilowatt-hours | 107.84 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
HSU is a direct access (DA) electricity customer for the majority of its electricity purchases. The DA provider, Shell Energy North America is mandated by the State of California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) to provide an increasing amount of electricity from state approved renewable sources, as noted in the power content below.
Additionally there are several electricity accounts, particularly for our remote locations, that are customers of the our local community choice aggregator, the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA). RCEA's mission is to promote clean and renewable energy in Humboldt County. Electricity purchased from RCEA has a higher content of renewable and carbon free electricity sources than the incumbent utility.

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
During the 2018-19 reporting year, HSU hosted four solar PV systems: a 2.5 kW system on the Natural History Museum, a 2.5 kW system on the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, a 12.5 kW system on the Music A building, and a new 20 kW system on top of the Schatz Energy Research Center installed in September 2018.
