Renewable Energy

Texas A&M began receiving power from a 500 MW solar array in December 2022 under a 15-year power purchase agreement, with a peak purchase of 50 MW, contributing to a 17,000 metric ton reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 — supplying 16% of the campus’s electrical consumption.
