The Appalachian State University Renewable Energy Initiative is a student-led, student-funded organization that works to install renewable energy and energy efficiency projects on campus.
The Appalachian State University Renewable Energy Initiative is a student-led, student-funded organization that seeks to install renewable energy and energy efficiency projects on campus. Projects can be proposed by any member of Appalachian and are carried out by the Renewable Energy Initiative with the help of faculty and staff advisors. Since its inception in 2004, the ASUREI has funded over 40 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, including the Broyhill Wind Turbine, which was the largest wind turbine in North Carolina at the time it was built. The ASUREI works closely with Appalachian’s dedicated research body, RIEEE, and the Office of Sustainability and Energy Management.
