Designing a Renewable Energy Portfolio

What is USD’s total annual energy needs? You may report an average, a maximum, or a recent fiscal year. Make your thought process explicit and justify whatever you decide. If no energy-saving measures are implemented, is this value likely to go up or down in future years? Why? What is USD’s total annual cost for its energy over the period chosen above? How much energy needs to be produced annually by your team’s renewable energy portfolio? For our purposes, the existing solar panels will remain in place. What are the peak power requirements? How might these peaks affect your designs?
