Renewables and Energy Efficiency

JCCC Renewable energy Portfolio:

Wind: JCCC participates in Evergy's Renewables Direct Plan where we purchase over 95% of our energy from the Ponderosa Wind Farm. This agreement began May 18th 2021 and will continue for a total of 10 years. In addition to the 90-95% reduction in emissions we will also potentially save $30k annual on our electric bills.

Campus Efficiency (update 06/2025)

The campus has seen a decrease in annual electricity usage by 33% in the past 13 years but do to the rising cost of electricity (112% increase) we have seen a steady increase in costs. We continue to implement energy efficiency measures that will keep costs steady and lower energy usage utilizing our PowerSwitch program. What is the bottom dollar here? $12,014,986 in avoided costs on purchased electricity since 2008.
