Contracts

Use the Contracts page to enter and manage renewable energy contracts. Entering your contracts is a crucial step because they are applied to your Scope 2 market-based calculations. The supplier listed on the contract will match with the supplier assigned to a site when a site is created. See Sites. The Scope 2 market-based usage calculations use the contract amount to offset the CO2e amounts. The contract value is applied to the consumption number until the contract value is fully used.

For information on how market-based factors are applied, see Appendix F: Emissions Calculations.

NOTE: Contracts should match the reporting compliance year. For example, if the reporting year is June to July, Contracts should fall within June to July time periods.
