That's just a sampling, but probably some good leads
Also, from an announcement on 5/17/2005:
Nine Pennsylvania colleges and universities have recently increased prior commitments to the purchase of wind power. These new commitments added to wind purchases previously made by 25 other Pennsylvania schools, continue to make Pennsylvania higher education the leader in wind purchases in the United States.
The schools purchasing wind are members of the in Pennsylvania Consortium for Interdisciplinary Environmental Policy (PCIEP). Several years ago PCIEP created a partnership with Community Energy, Inc. (CEI), a marketer of wind power, to pool purchases of wind by Pennsylvania schools.
Combined PCIEP member wind energy purchases now total 92,200 megawatt hours (MWh) or the equivalent of 23 wind turbines, constituting the largest non-governmental aggregated commitment to wind power in the U.S. PCIEP's member institutions' decision to purchase pollution-free wind power mix in Pennsylvania reduces the amount of carbon dioxide is approximately equivalent to planting nearly 7.5 million trees, not driving 96 million miles, or taking 15,121 cars off the road each year.
The most recent wind purchases are part of a campaign launched by PCIEP and CEI called "Getting to 10% Wind." The campaign encourages Pennsylvania colleges and universities to increase their existing wind energy purchases to match at least 10% of their total usage with wind energy. To date, the 34 PCIEP members are purchasing wind energy. Nine of these schools now derive at least 10% of their electricity use from wind power.
The universities who have recently increased their commitments to wind power include Eastern University (32.2%), Dickinson College (12.1%), The University of Pennsylvania (10.4%), Juniata College (10.4%), Allegheny College (10%), Chatham College (10%), Duquesne University (10%), Keystone College (10%), and Mercyhurst College (10%).
By making commitments to wind energy, Pennsylvania colleges and universities are leading through example on important public policy questions. Because the United States urgently needs to move toward greater use of renewable energy not only to reduce the threat of climate change but also to achieve energy independence, higher education in Pennsylvania is creating a path for others to follow on a matter of great national importance.
