Optional Fields
Sierra magazine requests the following information from U.S. institutions that wish to share data with that organization:
| Percentage of total electricity use (0-100) | |
| Biomass | --- |
| Coal | 18 |
| Geothermal | --- |
| Hydro | 57 |
| Natural gas | 3 |
| Nuclear | --- |
| Solar photovoltaic | 0.40 |
| Wind | 17 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | 4.60 |
A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
MSU purchases electricity from Northwestern Energy and from Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). The WAPA electricity is under a long term contract and currently comprises approximately 31 percent of the electricity used by MSU. The above numbers take into account the weighted percentages of the Northwestern Energy and WAPA sources. Other is onsite cogeneration via steam turbine.
