Total energy consumption, performance year:
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) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
WE DO NOT RETAIN ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES, BUT:
This scoring should be revisited as institutions located in Massachusetts can no longer retain environmental attributes under the state's new solar incentive program (SMART Program) for onsite solar PV projects. The utilities retain all environmental attributes.
It is not financially feasible for an institution Endicott's size to install the over 1MW of solar PV we have on campus without our state incentive programs.
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:
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable thermal energy:
Unbundled renewable energy products (report kWh):
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Purchased RECs, GOs, I-RECs or equivalent unbundled renewable energy products certified by a third party | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the unbundled renewable energy products:

A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
Based on ISO New England 2022 report. "Other" includes mainly oil and net imports. https://www.iso-ne.com/about/key-stats/resource-mix
Endicott hosts three onsite solar systems over 1MW in capacity, but does not keep the RECs.

It is not financially feasible for an institution Endicott's size to install the over 1MW of solar PV we have on campus without our state incentive programs. Our projects support the renewable energy market and increase visibility while generating clean energy that is used onsite.
