MSU s solar carport is the largest solar carport in North America.
MSU continues to make progress toward its renewable energy (11.3%) and greenhouse gas reduction goals (nearly 30% reduction) established in the university’s Energy Transition Plan.
MSU’s use of more than 17 million kWh of green energy is the equivalent to the electricity use of nearly 2,000 average American homes annually.
