Use Clean Power (In Progress)
The iCAP 2020 objective 2.3.1 is to "Use at least 140,000 MWh/year of clean power by FY25." This objective is about clean power, which is different from clean thermal energy. The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is F&S.
As of 2020, there are three types of clean power options being pursued or used on campus.
- Solar Energy on Campus: installing solar photovoltaic panels on campus property
- Wind Energy on Campus: installing wind turbine generators on campus property
- Power Purchase Agreements for Clean Energy: purchasing solar or wind power from off-campus
