The elevated risk of power disruptions on the regional grid requires Facilities & Services Utilities & Energy Services (UES) division to develop new, proactive operational strategies focused on “shedding load,” when necessary. These actions will strive to reduce energy consumption campuswide and limit the university’s overall electrical demand during these periods. UES is updating its centralized operational strategies designed to meet the university’s energy needs should those situations arise. As part of this initiative, UES is collaborating with academic and administrative units to help identify lower-priority facility areas and items that would be able to be immediately shut down without concern or detriment to research, educational, or engagement activities.
