A brief description of the RECs and/or similar renewable energy products:
The State of Wisconsin purchases all electricity consumed in state-owned facilities. For our campus, the electricity is purchased from WE Energies. In 2005, Act 141 passed and required 10% of all electricity to come from renewable sources by the end of 2007, and 20% of all electricity to come from renewable sources by the end of 2011, if economically feasible. During the 2014 Fiscal Year, the state purchased an equivalence of 15% of all energy consumed in state-owned facilities sourced from wind power. The UW-System allocates this energy purchase to each campus based on electrical energy use.
