Clean and renewable electricity
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 23,346,278 Kilowatt-hours | 79,657.50 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:
IUPUI is a member of the EPA Green Power Partnership and has been recognized for meeting 10 percent of its electricity needs with green power.
IUPUI purchases 10% of its electricity portfolio in Wind from AES Indiana. IUPUI participates in AES' Green Power Option, a program where the campus procures renewable energy certificates (REC) from certified green power producers, specifically Midwestern wind farms. IUPUI currently purchases 10% of its Central Electricity in this manner. This program is Green-e Energy Certified.
