Importing Electricity Emissions Factors
Overview
The Electricity section contains information for Electricity Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions in each relevant location that the organisation operates in. The Grid Electricity emissions data goes up until the Net Zero from the Settings.
Note: The Grid Electricity data can be imported or manually inputted by the user, as electricity emissions is varied by location.Configuring Electricity
Navigate to Impact > Emissions, then click on the three-bar menu on the left-hand side, and then click on Electricity Type |
The Electricity Types page will display. Users can edit and add Electricity information in line. To create a new Electricity entry, start by entering the name of the location in +Add.
 | This drop-down menu lets you filter every 10 years from the period from the baseline year to the net zero year |
 | To create a new Electricity Type entry, type the location of the Electricity Grid here, hit enter to create and input the corresponding fields |
 | The location of the electricity grid |
 | Baseline year, for the emission periods, that is set in Settings |
 | Electricity is then split into Scope 2 and Scope 3 Emissions Factor |
 | Click this icon to delete an existing Electricity entry |
| When making changes for the first time, a dialogue box will appear for you to provide a reason for changing the data. Enter your reason and hit Confirm. |  |
Note: Electricity types are shared between sites. Each site must enter/import and maintain their own types and factors. Electricity Type can also be set to be global or local to the site it was created in. See the eye icon on the system.
Warning: Electricity type will not display on the Scenario Grid if the source site (the site where the Electricity type has been created in) does not have values. Scope 2 and scope 3 values need to be captured for at least a 1 year/period, for it to show on the scenario planning table.
Importing Electricity Type Emissions Factors
Electricity factors can also be imported as detailed in Importing data for Emissions Management
Next Steps
Now that you have entered Electricity Type emissions data, the next step is to configure operational Activities.
