ENERGY AT SOU
Southern Oregon University (SOU) is at the forefront of sustainability efforts, striving to combat climate change and improve energy efficiency campus-wide. SOU uses three main forms of energy on campus: purchased electricity, purchased natural gas and on campus solar generation.
Energy consumption is the primary source of SOU’s greenhouse gas emissions. The university is focused on reducing its energy consumption through conservation, efficiency, and onsite renewable energy generation.
Our Goals
- Achieve 100% daytime electricity use through renewable electricity generation on campus by 2035
- Achieve 100% electric campus fleet by 2030
- Improve energy efficiency by 25% within 10 years (base year 2022)
- Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2033 (base year 2022)
