The University of Arizona and TEP signed a large-scale renewable energy agreement in August 2019. This partnership will bring the University to net zero for scope two emissions, and will mitigate 30% of the university's total greenhouse gas emissions. When both sites are fully online, the University will receive half of its annual grid-based energy from the Oso Grande Wind Project in Southeast New Mexico and the other half from the Wilmot Energy Center south of Tucson.
University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins talks with TEP’s new President and CEO, Susan Gray and Trevor Ledbetter, Director of the Office of Sustainability about this exciting project, the largest utility-university renewable energy partnership in North America.

About the University of Arizona:
Universities are defined by their people, and you could say the people here were born to challenge "business as usual." The University of Arizona existed before Arizona was a state. Our first graduating class in 1895 consisted of two women and one male.
Since then, we've learned that we're better together. We do more when we work across backgrounds, skills and perspectives. That's how we've become long-time partners with NASA, leaders in both the arts and sciences, and able to prepare students to succeed in a world where most of the jobs today's kindergartners will have don't even exist yet. We know how to converge.
