Aerial image of Solar Farm 2.0. The solar farm produces approximately 20,000 megawatt-hours per year (MWh/year)—tripling the university’s existing on-site renewable energy generation. Solar Farm 2.0 helped the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign make the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s top-30 list of the largest on-site green power users in the Green Power Partnership. The university is the third-largest user of renewable power produced on campus for all higher education institutions in the country.
