Sustainable energy generation on campus
Objectives
Our aim is to generate at least 10% of the electricity we use sustainably by 2026.
Current situation
In 2022, around 465.3 MWh of electricity was generated on campus. This accounts for 1.4% of the University’s total electricity consumption. This is slightly higher than in 2021, thanks to the solar panels on the roof of the LAB42 building.
We are therefore a long way off our target of sustainably generating 10% of our own electricity by 2026. In 2021, we investigated whether the undeveloped land at the Amsterdam Science Park could offer a solution, but unfortunately, the availability of this land is too limited. In the coming years, we will look at alternative ways of increasing the amount of electricity we generate on our campuses.
