Clean and renewable electricity
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 450,000 Kilowatt-hours | 1,535.40 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 77,829 Kilowatt-hours | 265.55 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
We purchase a 37.5MW block of eCertified renewable energy from our utility provider (WE Energy) each month as part of their energy for tomorrow program.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
We have three on-site renewable electricity generating devices -
A 3kw solar pv array on Youngchild Hall, which provides a small percentage of electricity to an academic building. This was our first renewable purchase, and was primarily for educational purposes.
A 20kw solar pv array on Hiett Residence Hall, which provides as much as 90% of the building's electricity demands on peak days. This solar array was installed in July 2011. The company that sold this unit kept the Green Credits under the agreement and this production has not been counted in our renewable total.
A 50kw Endurance wind turbine at Bjorklunden, our nature preserve and lodge in Door County, WI, installed in October 2011 and commissioned December 8th 2011. The turbine provides up to 80% of the lodge's electricity demands under ideal conditions, and has provided an average of 40% of the building's power since it was operational.
