Clean and renewable energy sources

Clean and renewable electricity

Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):

	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)	94,058 Kilowatt-hours	320.93 MMBtu

A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:

N/A

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:

NC State has a long history of solar installations on campus, as the Solar House was first opened to the public in 1981. On-site solar on campus varies from rooftop installations to solar umbrellas. A comprehensive list of current on-site solar installations can be found here: https://sustainability.ncsu.edu/campus/energy-water/solar-energy/

Clean and renewable thermal energy

Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):

	MMBtu
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

A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:

NC State has several solar thermal installations, however, they are unmetered. Thus, we are unable to provide an accurate data.
