Total energy consumption (electric and non-electric)

Total energy consumption, performance year:
32,721.96 MMBtu

Clean and renewable energy sources

Clean and renewable electricity

Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) 3,058,608.82 Kilowatt-hours 10,435.97 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) 405,508.06 Kilowatt-hours 1,383.59 MMBtu

A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
+ The university doesn’t have a green power purchase agreement as such. The only existing agreement is a power purchase agrreement with the national office of Electricity. Electricity delivered from the Office has the right to claim its renewable energy attributes since 34% of the bundle physical electricity in the office comes from renewable energy installations as specified in the following link: https://www.mem.gov.ma/Pages/secteur.aspx?e=2. This percentage is the one reported in the category of imported green power.
+ Equivalent programs that bundle physical electricity with the right to claim its renewable energy attributes does not exist in Morocco.
+ Renewable energy installations are mainly located at the green energy park that is composed of a photovoltaic test platform and a Concentrated Solar Panel (CSP) test platform in addition to the CSP-ORC pilot plant.

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
The university is using on site solar panels to produce thermoelectrical energy to heat sanitation water.

The total energy consumption is the sum of purchased electricity and On-Site Renewable

A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
The UM6P is using the thermosolar installations to heat buildings (Water Heating, Air conditionning) These installations produce 241,110.00 KWH that constitutes 3% of the total energy consumption of the UM6P 9,346926 KWH. The rest of the power destined for heating comes from Purchased Electricity.
