Clean and renewable electricity
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 8,679,804 Kilowatt-hours | 29,615.49 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 156,005 Kilowatt-hours | 532.29 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
Large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) surrendered by electricity retailers to meet their Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) obligations for 2021. LCGs are created by accredited renewable energy power stations. One large-scale generation certificate is equal to one megawatt hour of eligible renewable electricity.
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
On-site renewable energy production (solar photovoltaic) from eight rooftop installations in Tasmanian campuses. Total size is 103.28 kW

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Energy consumption data and on-site electricity generation is from UTAS Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2021, used for carbon neutral certification under the Australian Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard (https://www.climateactive.org.au/).
Renewable Power Percentage to calculate Large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) surrendered by electricity retailers to meet their Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) obligations for 2021 from the Australian Government Clean Energy Regulator (http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Scheme-participants-and-industry/the-renewable-power-percentage).
Percentage of electricity use by source estimated from the Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources - Australian Statistics Report (https://www.energy.gov.au/publications/australian-energy-update-2021) and percentage of electricity use by the University of Tasmania per state/territory in which the University operates. Note that percentage of electricity use by source is calculated from energy generation per state/territory and doesn't include export/import between states as this data was difficult to obtain.
