Total energy consumption, performance year:
184,975.98 MMBtu

Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) 88,000 Kilowatt-hours 300.26 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) 579,074 Kilowatt-hours 1,975.80 MMBtu

A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
W&L has spent the last several years working to realize an offsite solar array to produce, through a PPA structure, enough solar electricity to match 100% of our campus electricity use. This 11MW array became operational in June, 2023. The 88,000 kWh listed is the small amount of generation that falls within our performance year for this report. These RECS are Green-e certified and retired on our behalf.

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
W&L has three solar PV arrays on campus with capacities of 325 Kilowatts, 119 Kilowatts and 70 Kilowatts respectively.
