San Diego
San Diego State University is planning to break ground on a new 14-megawatt energy cogeneration plant in conjunction with a campuswide conservation effort. Design of the $20 million facility will is scheduled to begin in May 2001 with construction beginning in summer. Expected to be online by summer of 2002, the plant is a long-term solution to rising energy costs. Replacing the existing 3-megawatt cogeneration plant that supplies only a third of the university's energy, the new plant will generate enough electricity for the entire campus.
