Total energy consumption, performance year:
Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
| 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) | 1,265,040 Kilowatt-hours | 4,316.32 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
The University of Louisiana has built a 1.1 MW solar generation facility that operates behind the meter on campus. The facility generates approximately 1,280 kWh/year. The university consumes all the electricity generated and does not feed electricity back to the grid. The university owns the right to all renewable energy credits. The system came online in June 2018.
Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy | 0 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable thermal energy:
Unbundled renewable energy products (report kWh):
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Purchased RECs, GOs, I-RECs or equivalent unbundled renewable energy products certified by a third party | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |

A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
Other is from the MISO fuel mix reports, which is part of the energy supply purchased by our local utility, LUS. MISO does not specify what other refers to specifically. This is the fuel mix the parts of campus served by LUS. It excludes energy used at the Ecology Center and Cade Farm, which each have different utilities but account for a very small percentage of campus energy use.
