Total energy consumption (all sources, transportation fuels excluded), performance year:
Clean and renewable energy from the following sources::
| Performance Year | |
| Option 1: Clean and renewable electricity generated on-site during the performance year and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes | 0 MMBtu |
| Option 2: Non-electric renewable energy generated on-site | 0 MMBtu |
| Option 3: Clean and renewable electricity generated by off-site projects that the institution catalyzed and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes | 0 MMBtu |
| Option 4: Purchased third-party certified RECs and similar renewable energy products (including renewable electricity purchased through a certified green power purchasing option) | 135,165.20 MMBtu |
A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
On its south side, the Noel Fine Arts Center has its own 18-window photovoltaic panel. The panel captures light energy from the sun and uses it to light parts of the Fine Arts Center inner courtyard area. Each of the 18 windows produces about 900 - 1,200 watts of electricity on a sunny day.
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
Five of our residentail living halls, Burroughs Knutzen, Neale, Suites@201 and Pray-Sims, are equipped with solar panels that serve to heat all of the water in the buildings.
A brief description of off-site, institution-catalyzed, renewable electricity generating devices:

A brief description of the RECs and/or similar renewable energy products:
NatureWise supports the generation of electricity from a blend of wind, solar and biomass (gases produced naturally from landfills and farm animal waste). This cleanly produced green electricity is then added to the power grid of communities in the WPS area. Renewable Choice RECs are 100% wind power. The State of WI purchases renewable energy as part of Act 141. Green kwh is allocated to UW-Stevens Point based on consumption.
