Clean Energy Fund News:

The Clean Energy Fund Committee has officially announced its first Request for Proposals on September 30, 2009. The proposal deadline is November 15, 2009.

PLEASE NOTE: The committee will review proposals and decide which ones they would like to pursue. Next the committee will submit those proposals for a technical review to determine whether the project is really feasible (including compatibility with zoning and other permitting processes).  If you have questions about possible zoning and permitting restrictions, please contact Lani Ravin at Campus Planning Services (Lani.Ravin@uvm.edu, 656-3217). DO NOT contact external permitting agencies, as this will create confusion and may make it less likely that your project will be accepted. If you have general questions about the application process, please contact sustain@uvm.edu, 656-0906.


Vision

The Clean Energy Fund was created in response to students’ vision of the University of Vermont (UVM) running efficiently on a fraction of its current energy needs, powered by clean, locally produced renewable energy that fulfills both the University’s needs and supports the local economy. 

Mission

The mission of the Clean Energy Fund is to finance new clean energy projects on the UVM campus and beyond.  The source of the fund is a student fee dedicated to clean energy projects; this dedicated fee is part of a comprehensive fee that UVM collects each semester from full-time undergraduate and graduate students.
