7.4.2. 100% Renewable Energy Pledge

IGU has made the transition to 100% renewable energy use a strategic goal, based on sustainability in energy consumption. In this regard, internationally recognized Renewable Energy Certificates (I-REC) are used to ensure that the electricity consumed on campuses is supplied from renewable sources. Currently, all of the university's electricity consumption is provided by renewable energy sources that are certified with these certificates. In addition, technical and feasibility studies are being conducted to install solar energy systems on university roofs and suitable campus areas. In the medium and long term, the goal is for campuses to reach a capacity where they can generate a major portion of their own electricity needs on-site. Furthermore, the increase in the share of renewable energy is supported by practices such as LED conversion, automation systems, and the use of high-efficiency devices to reduce energy consumption.
