A brief description of the RECs and/or similar renewable energy products:
Wisconsin Act 141 directs the Department of Administration (DOA) to set goals for the use of renewable energy by the six state agencies that consume the great majority of electricity purchased by the state. In addition, the State of Wisconsin purchases green energy through several contracts throughout the state, which is then apportioned to each state agency. One of these agencies is the University of Wisconsin System. State-purchased green energy is broken out from there to individual campuses based on percentage of energy used in the UW System. The data available is from FY 2015.
