Tim for your consideration posting to the list. http://www.okhighered.org/newsletter/stories/2013/02-OSU-GreenPower.shtml Oklahoma State University announced today it is No. 5 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Top 20 College & University list of the largest green power purchasers. OSU is purchasing 110,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 67 percent of the electricity use on the university's main Stillwater campus. The university is buying a utility green power product from Oklahoma Gas & Electric, switching away from traditional sources of electricity generation and to cleaner renewable energy alternatives. OSU entered into a 20-year agreement with OG&E to provide wind power to the Stillwater campus in late 2011. Cowboy Wind Farm, a 26-turbine, 60-megawatt facility near Blackwell, Okla., began generating 67 percent of the campus's electricity on Jan. 1, 2013. See full article at link above. Pamela A.

I had our Facilities Director lined up to discuss our new energy plan, but he is not able to come after all. So any thoughts on what to talk about? I had mentioned at a previous meeting that we should consider submitting an abstract for a presentation at the AASHE conference in the fall. If folks are interested, we can talk about this.

Only recently have a few leading universities purchased wind via long-term (10+ years) PPAs. This webinar will highlight the experiences of The Ohio State University, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Oklahoma in exploring long-term wind power contracts and the questions and issues that other schools investigating this procurement option should consider. Webinar participants will learn about: *Wind PPAs, including their structure, key terms, and requirements. *The potential for wind PPAs to reduce energy costs, hedge against price volatility, and reduce an institution's carbon footprint. *The influence of long-term contracts on decisions by project developers to build new generation facilities, such as wind farms. Speakers Include: *Aparna Dial, University Director, Energy Services and Sustainability, The Ohio State University *Brian Ellis, Director of Facilities Management, University of Oklahoma *James Rosner, Utilities Director, Oklahoma State University Register for this webinar at: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/835648778.
