W&L’s new offsite solar array, now fully operational, represents the university’s biggest leap to date toward an energy-independent future.
The Frances Lewis Law Center at W&L Law has secured carbon offsets to address the Center’s impacts on climate change.
A new deal will establish an offsite solar farm from which W&L will purchase energy equivalent to 100% of campus electricity use, allowing the university to lower greenhouse gas emissions, save money and close in on its goal of carbon neutrality.
Washington and Lee University has already exceeded carbon-reduction goals for 2013 and 2020. The latest updates keep the university on track to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
