Energy Highlights FY 2023 vs FY 2022 - Utilities 

**Reported metrics are for the Dallas Main Campus – All Facilities Tied into Substation, Patterson Hall & Mustang Central Plants**

(97% of total Íæż½ã½ãpower, 98% of natural gas, 99% of water)

Square Footage had a net decrease of 131,511 to a total of 4,410,926 square feet
(up 1% 35,548 sq.ft . from FY17 baseline)

• Three Cox Business School facilities taken offline for major remodel.
  
• Added Owens Art Expansion and Washburne Stadium.
  

Electrical Consumption decreased by 9% from 83.7 to 76.5 million kWh
(down 15% from FY17 including new construction)

• This year’s total billed kwh was artificially reduced by one month (roughly 8.5M kwh) due to a change in the providers invoicing terms from 30 days to 60 days. Only 11 months billed in FY23.
  

Electrical Costs decreased by 9% from $4.8 to $4.3 million
(down 33% from FY17 baseline)

• Electrical cost impacted (roughly $200k) by the decrease in invoiced kWh (see point above).
  

Natural Gas Consumption increased 6% from 289,615 to 305,544 MMBtu
(up 19% from FY17 baseline)

• Increase is due to an 8% higher demand for steam, and a new boiler plant installed at Meadows Museum, and continuing steam/condensate loop issues. New metering on the condensate loop continues to show a high volume of “make up” water indicating water losses in the steam system. The high volume of make up water causes the boiler plant to consume more gas.
  

Natural Gas Costs increased 4% from $1.2 to $1.25 million
(down 3% from FY17 baseline)

• Natural gas costs were up due to increase in steam demand and make up water.
  

Water Usage & Costs increased 30% from 198M to 251M million gallons
(up 6% from FY17 baseline)

• The significant increase in water is explained in the Water section of this report.
  

Total Energy Costs decreased 6% from $5.96 to $5.57 million
(down 28% from FY17 including new construction)

• Energy rates are largely fixed in both electricity and natural gas, reflecting Íæż½ã½ãstrategy for predictability, protection, and stability. The hedging strategy continues to deliver a benefit to Íæż½ã½ãin the long term. Electricity is hedged through 2030, while natural gas is hedged through 2024.
