Portland Community College

Narrative and Context

Construction is a constant at the college for boundary shifts. Community solar continues to come online. The Rock Creek array is offline which reduced our sola rabout quite a lot will impact us in 2026 and 2027, but is offset at the moment by the community solar program. In other words, RECS will continue to reduce our net electricity emissions.
A large leak in refrigation system for one building impacts a couple of different years. The amount retrieved from the system was never found so we've charged ourselves emissions for the entire capacity of the system. Additions of Electric Vehicles are slowly reducing our fuel consumption over time. The biggest purchases were made between 2023-2025.
We use the state of Oregon's DEQ Market Based Emissions Factors for Electricity as we multiple renewable energy credits from a variety of sources including utility scale ppa's and community solar.
