Clean and renewable electricity
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 13,790 Kilowatt-hours | 47.05 MMBtu |

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
For on-site generation, the College has three solar PV arrays - 9 kW and 5 kW on the Olympia Campus, and 20.4 kW on the Tacoma Campus building. The Tacoma array dashboard connection was offline last year, so the production reported is only for Olympia.
Clean and renewable thermal energy

| Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy | 0 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources | 0 MMBtu |

Unbundled renewable energy products
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Purchased RECs, GOs, I-RECs or equivalent unbundled renewable energy products certified by a third party | 11,897,421 Kilowatt-hours | 40,594.00 MMBtu |
A brief description of the unbundled renewable energy products:
Evergreen purchases regionally-generated, Green-e certified RECs for 100% of purchased electricity on both campuses. Pacific NW regional RECs are generated predominantly by wind, with a very small portion originating from landfill and dairy digester methane capture. Hydropower, over 30% of our local grid mix, is not considered 'renewable' in WA State renewable portfolio standards.
