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) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 343,644 Kilowatt-hours | 1,172.51 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
Not applicable.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
SUNY New Paltz has six on-site solar photovoltaic arrays:
100 KW roof-mounted array at Elting Gym with battery storage
117 KW roof-mounted array at the Sojourner Truth Library
48.75 KW roof-mounted array at the Athletics and Wellness Center
4.2 KW roof-mounted array at Resnick Engineering Building
2.8 KW ground-mounted array at Resnick Engineering Building
5 KW ground-mounted array powering the GEM Cars (the white golf cart-type looking vehicles that facilities staff drive around during the spring, summer, and fall)
At this time, the feeds of energy generated are only functioning for three of the six arrays. The functioning arrays include the GEM Car Array, STL Library array, and the Elting Gym array. Thus, only the generation from these three arrays is included in this credit.
