Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
For the optional questions involving percentage of energy from different sources, the data reflects a more current snapshot than the reporting year data. UCLA recently signed a historic renewable rate agreement with our municipal utility, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and now are taking 10MW of solar through that agreement. The percentages also include our cogeneration plant, and the
