Bemidji State University currently gets a quarter of its electricity from wind.
Other sources of our electricity are hydro, nuclear, natural gas, and coal. Electricity use on campus is our single biggest contribution to our carbon footprint.
We understand that the most efficient use of energy is to simply use less of it, so we encourage reduction above all else. We are also very committed to reducing our electricity consumption through energy efficiency as well as finding new ways to utilize clean, renewable energy in order to minimize our impact on the earth and reach our goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
