Project Description
On-Campus Solar Farm 3.0

In September 2022, the Associate Vice Chancellor and Executive Director of Facilities & Services Ehab Kamarah presented a summary of options for meeting our iCAP 2020 objective for clean energy use to Chancellor Jones.  One option was to add a third on-site solar farm, in conjunction with an indirect power purchase agreement.  The idea was discussed further at the Sustainability Council, and F&S is now investigating the opportunities for adding another solar farm on South Farms, between Solar Farm 1.0 and Solar Farm 2.0.

Solar Farm 2.0

Solar Farm 2.0 is a 54-acre, 12.32 megawatt (MWdc) solar array on the South Farms of the  University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Located north of Curtis Road, between First Street and Dunlap Avenue near Savoy, Solar Farm 2.0 is producing approximately 20,000 megawatt-hours per year (MWh/year), bringing the total on-campus solar production to approximately 27,000 MWh/year.
