Electricity & Energy Dashboard

Master your Scope 2 emissions with dual reporting methodologies. NetNada's Electricity Dashboard tracks purchased energy across all facilities, comparing Location-Based and Market-Based emissions to demonstrate the true impact of your renewable energy procurement.

How It Works

The Electricity Dashboard provides specialised visibility into indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling. Using GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, it supports both Location-Based and Market-Based reporting for accurate, credible energy emissions tracking.

1

Data Collection and Processing

Upload electricity invoices, utility bills, or consumption spreadsheets through Task Manager or Carbon Data Uploader. The system processes energy consumption in kWh and attributes emissions to specific facilities through node assignment.

2

Location-Based Calculation

The dashboard calculates emissions using average grid emissions intensity for your location. This reflects the physical reality of grid electricity where your facilities consume power.

3

Market-Based Calculation

Simultaneously, the dashboard calculates Market-Based emissions based on your specific energy contracts. If you've purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs) or green power contracts, Market-Based figures reflect these choices.

4

Side-by-Side Comparison

Monthly bar charts display both methodologies side-by-side. Visualise how renewable energy procurement reduces your Market-Based emissions compared to Location-Based baseline.

5

Facility Performance Analysis

Drill down to see which facilities consume the most energy and generate the highest emissions. Compare site performance, identify efficiency opportunities, and track improvement initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Electricity & Energy Dashboard

What's the difference between Location-Based and Market-Based Scope 2?
Location-Based emissions use average grid emission factors for your location—reflecting the physical reality of grid electricity. Market-Based emissions use factors from your specific contracts, including renewable energy certificates (RECs) and green power agreements. Both methods are required by GHG Protocol for complete Scope 2 reporting.
Which Scope 2 methodology should I report?
GHG Protocol requires dual reporting—you should report both. Location-Based reflects the physical emissions from grid electricity. Market-Based reflects your contractual choices. AASB S2 and most climate disclosure frameworks expect both figures to be disclosed.
How do renewable energy certificates affect my emissions?
When you purchase RECs or sign green power contracts, these reduce your Market-Based emissions (potentially to zero for 100% renewable coverage). Location-Based emissions remain unchanged as they reflect grid average. The dashboard shows both, demonstrating the impact of your renewable procurement.
What data do I need for the Electricity Dashboard?
Upload electricity invoices or consumption data showing kWh consumed per facility per billing period. For Market-Based reporting, you'll also need documentation of renewable energy certificates or green power contracts.
Can I see emissions for individual facilities?
Yes. Use the facility filter to view any single site, or compare the facility-level breakdown showing energy consumption and emissions for each node. This enables benchmarking and identification of high-consumption sites.
What emission factors does NetNada use for Location-Based?
NetNada uses Australian National Greenhouse Accounts (ANGA) grid emission factors, which are state-specific and updated annually. The Audit Trail shows exactly which factors were applied to each calculation.
Does the dashboard include gas and other energy sources?
The Electricity Dashboard focuses on purchased electricity (Scope 2). Natural gas combustion on-site is Scope 1 and appears in the GHG Emissions Dashboard. Purchased heat and steam (also Scope 2) can be configured in your emission boundaries.
How do I track improvement over time?
The KPI cards show year-over-year percentage changes automatically. Use the date picker to compare different periods. Monthly bar charts reveal seasonal patterns and help identify when efficiency improvements took effect.
