The Universitat Jaume I's commitment to environmental sustainability has reached a new milestone. The UJI is already close to achieving the goal set by the Sustainability and Climate Change Working Group of generating 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Specifically, the UJI has generated 1,795,440 kWh of photovoltaic solar energy so far this year, which represents 16.90% of the university's total electricity consumption.

The breakdown of photovoltaic production shows the positive impact that the installation of solar farms on the roofs of buildings has had. The Faculty of Health Sciences leads the way with 58.58% of the photovoltaic energy supply. The Sports and Central Services building reaches 50.7%, followed by the Social Council and Doctoral School building (47.65%), the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (31.46%), the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences (26.65%) and the Faculty of Law and Economics (21.63%).

It is worth mentioning that in September this year, a new photovoltaic system was installed on the multi-sports courts in the Sports and Central Services Building, with an installed capacity of 200 kW, capable of generating approximately 300,000 kWh per year. This action, together with the commissioning of the solar installation at the new Centre for Educational Innovation and Digital Technologies, will improve the percentage of supply from renewable sources.

The improvement of energy efficiency on campus will be intensified from 2020 with the approval of the Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan. This plan has made it possible to multiply the network of solar parks installed on the roofs of campus buildings, and to improve energy efficiency by improving roof insulation, replacing lighting with low-consumption LED technology, and installing more efficient, centrally controlled air conditioning units.

The vice-rector for Infrastructure and Sustainability, Vicent Cervera, highlighted "the institutional effort, both financially and in terms of strategic planning through the Office for Construction Work and Porjects, to reduce energy consumption on campus, lower the energy bill and expand the use of green energy, thus minimising the University's carbon footprint".

In addition to its own resources, the UJI has received funding from the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge's Programme to Promote the Rehabilitation of Public Buildings (PIREP), with European NextGeneration funds, for the development of the actions implemented since 2020.

Other assistance has been provided by the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE) through the Energy Rehabilitation of Buildings Programme (PREE) of the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDEA), also with the support of the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
