The University of Arizona is making strides to cut down on carbon emissions by partnering with Tucson Electric Power. By the end of May, the campus will obtain all of its grid-based electricity from renewable sources, cutting the university s greenhouse gas footprint by nearly one-third.
UArizona entered into the Large Scale Renewable Energy Agreement with TEP in December 2019. The agreement is the largest of its kind between a university and local utility in North America.
Under the agreement, the university s energy will come from two sources: the Oso Grande Wind Farm in southeastern New Mexico and the Wilmot Energy Center solar-plus-storage system south of Tucson. The Wilmot Energy Center began delivering power to UArizona on April 30, and the wind farm is expected to go online later this month.
