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 :
The energy identified here, as renewable, comes from the back-pressure turbine where steam pressure is reduced by powering a turbine. The steam pressure must be reduced before sending it to campus.
Non-electric renewable energy generated on-site, performance year:
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
We have several wind turbines, at our wind energy museum and SWIFT research station.
Total clean and renewable electricity generated by off-site projects that the institution catalyzed and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes, performance year:
A brief description of off-site, institution-catalyzed, renewable electricity generating devices:
Total third-party certified RECs, GOs and/or similar renewable energy products (including renewable electricity purchased through a utility-provided certified green power option) purchased during the performance year:
A brief description of the RECs, GOs and/or similar renewable energy products, including contract timeframes:
