Our Energy Commitments

Oakland County has entered a Power Purchase Agreement to purchase 75% of our electricity from solar energy. This will go into effect in 2026 and will be a significant step towards achieving our greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Oakland County is also exploring on-site solar generation at key campus locations. For more information about this, please review our Sustainability Plan.

Oakland County is committed to converting our vehicle fleet to electric vehicles. Additionally, Oakland County is installing EV charging stations throughout the campus so that employees and guests can charge their personal vehicles while they work or visit. For more information, please review our Sustainability Plan.

Oakland County partnered with Michigan Saves, the nation’s first nonprofit green bank, to invest $5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to provide qualified residents with an Oakland SAVES grant. These grants were used for energy efficient upgrades to homes, producing savings in energy consumption and utility bills and improving our residents’ health, safety and comfort.
