Geothermal Studies

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ is studying whether geothermal energy is feasible for the campus. If successful, this renewable energy solution would help reduce reliance on fossil fuels for heating and cooling, providing a more sustainable alternative that aligns with the CAP’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by no later than 2050.

Anticipated construction start: Summer 2024
Anticipated completion: Spring 2026
Budget:Ìý$700,000

Virtual Net Metering Program

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ is taking advantage of virtual net metering, an innovative new program made possible by Colorado Senate Bill 21-26 in 2021, which enables organizations to benefit from the energy produced by offsite solar installations. The university will utilize solar power generated by the offsite net-metering solar project, without needing to install solar onsite. The offsite solar project feeds directly into the electric grid, with ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ receiving credits for the renewable energy produced on its electric bills.
