Energy Supplier Contract

The Energy Supplier Contract module enables you to add renewable energy contracts or supplier specific emission factors, for example, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) into your system. Fill out the Supplier Energy Contract Upload template to apply the relevant supplied emission factor within the system. To get the energy supplier contract upload template, request it from the Support team, support@accuvio.com.

Checking contract dates applied to an activity

To check if the contract dates are already applied in the system for a selected Activity ID, compare the start and end dates in the Audit & Verification Report against the dates in the energy supplier contract entry.

  1. Run a GHG Protocol-Audit & Verificationreport in Instant Reports and export the report as an Excel File.

    2. For more information, go to Analyzing and auditing your account.

  2. In the Activity ID (C) column of the Audit & Verification report, filter the activity ID that you want to check.

  3. In the Published Emission Factor (V) column of the Audit & Verification report, filter for a value of 0 emission factors.

  4. In the Scope 2 Accounting Method (AB) column of the Audit & Verification report, filter for Market-based.

  5. In the Start Date (I) and End Date (J) in column, review and make note of these dates.

  6. Navigate to the Energy Supplier Contract settings tab and in the Activity ID column of the table, filter for the activity ID that you want to check.

    Note

    Compare the contracts From Date and To Date dates with the Start Date and End Date dates from the report.

  7. If the dates in the report do not match the dates in the Existing contracts table, then you must edit the dates in the contract. You can also check if the supplier's name or emission factor value has changed using the report and needs to be updated in the contract as well.
