Overview

• Approximately 45% of Tel Aviv University’s electricity consumption now comes from renewable energy sources.

  
• More than 17,000 square meters of solar panels have been installed across campus rooftops.

  
• A new large-scale energy storage facility—the first of its kind at an Israeli university—is planned as part of TAU’s transition to 100% renewable electricity.

  
• The achievement is part of TAU’s broader climate and sustainability strategy, launched three years ago.
