A brief description of RECs or other similar renewable energy products purchased during the previous year:
NYU has purchased varying amounts of 100% wind, Green-e certified RECs on an annual basis, and these expenditures have been made at differing times before and during the years to which the RECs apply.
For this reason, NYU has chosen to report an average of REC expenditures for the years FY 2007-2009. This average will roll forward if NYU reports this credit in the future, avoiding needless uninformative up-and-down movement if, for instance, the RECs are purchased in large volume every other year.
None
A brief description of co-generation technologies deployed:
NYU's historical cogeneration plant consisted of a 2.4MW steam turbine generator, several HTHW boilers, and 7 diesels capable of approximately 3MW.
A newly-constructed plant increases capacity to approximately 13.4MW with new twin 5.5MW gas turbines and the existing, upgraded 2.4MW STG. It also adds a steam turbine chiller and will retain the diesels as backup, for black start, and for demand response.
NYU will show substantial additional increases in clean cogenerated electricity when reporting for Fiscal Year 2011.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The NYU cogeneration power plant was under renovation during portions of Fiscal Years 2008-2010. The data offered refers to the last full 12-month period of operation for the older power plant.
The performance year for total energy use is Fiscal Year 2010. For RECs, it is an average of Fiscal Years 2007-2009.
