The Business Case For Renewable Energy by Andrea Putman & Michael Philips Colleges and universities are saving money and even making money with renewable energy, which includes solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower. They can either build a renewable energy project on or near campus, or they can buy renewable electricity generated by others through a local utility or other

supplier. This book examines both approaches and explains how and why growing numbers of higher education institutions are powered by renewable energy. It provides guidance on how to consider the various technologies, ownership options, relationships with utilities, and financial strategies.
