A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
About 60% of campus electricity comes from wind. Other sources (solar PV, back-pressure steam turbine at biomass plant) contribute smaller percentages. Minnesota has a Renewable Energy Standard of 25% renewable energy by 2025. Our local electricity provider, also contributes to that goal. So, state policy is helping us increase our total renewable energy percentage beyond 60%. The mix from our power company in 2013 was: 14.4% wind, 61.6% coal, 1.1% hydro, 0.3% natural gas, 0.2% biomass, and 22.4% unassigned purchases. The unassigned purchased include nuclear and other sources.
