Total energy consumption (all sources, excluding transportation fuels), performance year :
Total clean and renewable electricity generated on site during the performance year and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes:
A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
22725.08 MMBTU reflects the combined electric generated by both KSCs PV array on TDS Center AND its back-pressure steam generator (co-generation) that operates during the heating season.
KSC has a 20,000 square foot photovoltaic solar array on top of the TDS Center that generates power for that building.
The PV array on this building was installed in 2013 has generated over 4500kW to date. It is one of the largest solar PV arrays in Cheshire County, NH.
KSC also generates electricity from its back-pressure steam generator in the heat plant.
Non-electric renewable energy generated on-site, performance year:
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
