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) | 2,136,744 Kilowatt-hours | 7,290.57 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 61,613 Kilowatt-hours | 210.22 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
At Tecnológico de Monterrey (Tec), we prioritize sustainability by incorporating renewable energy sources. We achieve this through an Energy Services Agreement (ESA) with Ventika, a wind farm located in General Bravo, Nuevo León, Mexico. Ventika has 84 wind turbines with a capacity of 3 MW each, for a total installed capacity of 252 MW. This agreement ensures a portion of the electricity powering our campuses comes directly from Ventika's wind energy.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
At Tec de Monterrey, we have prioritized using renewable energy within our campuses. We utilize on-site photovoltaic (PV) systems in some locations, taking advantage of current regulations for on-site renewable energy generation (<500 kW) and the excellent solar radiation conditions in most of Mexico's regions.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UPDATE: Attached is the file for energy consumption per Campus per source during 2023 (performance year), including Renewable and non-renewable sources. Considering that the ESA with all energy suppliers are negotiated with a system wide rate per KWh, all Campuses measure and pay their own energy consumption and are registered as "separate" facilities with our current suppliers.
