The University of Notre Dame will install a 46,000-square-foot solar array on the west side of campus, along Indiana 933,
as part of an ongoing effort to diversify its energy supply and achieve net zero campus carbon emissions by 2050.
As a clean, renewable source of energy, the project will provide about 1 percent of the electricity for campus while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 600 to 700 tons annually. That’s equivalent to removing between 117 and 137 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles from the road. “The West Campus Solar Project will provide another renewable energy resource for campus along with the recently completed hydro facility in downtown South Bend, reducing the campus carbon footprint and providing added energy reliability and resilience,” said Paul Kempf, assistant vice president for utilities and maintenance at Notre Dame.
