Total energy consumed during the performance year :
A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Due to Power Purchasing Agreements that the University of Arizona has in place with Tucson Electric power, the renewable energy generated onsite is not owned by the UA but does help reduce UA's fossil fuel dependence. The projects currently in use onsite are photovoltaic and solar thermal. Below is a list of the names, addresses, type, technology employed, and amount emissions offset through use of the technology.

A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
A brief description of off-site, institution-catalyzed, renewable electricity generating devices:
A brief description of RECs or other similar renewable energy products purchased during the previous year:
A brief description of co-generation technologies deployed:
The University of Arizona utilizes two natural gas-fired steam turbines for co-generation of power on campus. Both turbines are located on campus which significantly cuts down transmission loss.
