Electricity Dashboard

Last updated: 10 April 2026

Electricity Dashboard Scope 2

The Electricity Dashboard tracks Scope 2 emissions from purchased energy, showing both location-based and market-based calculations side by side. Use it to compare facilities, spot trends, and understand the impact of renewable energy purchases. Access it via Analyse > Dashboards > Electricity.

Key Metrics

Location-Based Emissions

Uses average grid emission factors for your region. This is the default and typically the higher figure.

Market-Based Emissions

Reflects your specific energy purchasing decisions โ€” GreenPower, renewable certificates, or carbon-neutral electricity.

Total Energy Consumption

Total electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) across all facilities.

Monthly Trends

Side-by-side bar charts show location-based and market-based emissions over time. Use these to spot seasonal patterns (e.g., higher cooling in summer), identify anomalies, and see the impact of renewable energy purchases on your market-based figures.

Emissions by Entity

A breakdown shows emissions per node (facility, office, warehouse) for both location-based and market-based methods over the selected time period. This lets you compare sites directly โ€” useful for identifying which locations have the highest energy intensity or would benefit most from efficiency improvements.

Electricity data requires completed uploads with facility nodes correctly configured (including country and state). Emission factors are applied based on the node's location.

FAQ

What is the difference between location-based and market-based?
Location-based uses average grid emission factors for your region โ€” it reflects the emissions intensity of the grid you're connected to. Market-based reflects your specific purchasing decisions, like GreenPower or renewable energy certificates. If you purchase 100% renewable electricity, your market-based figure can be significantly lower.
Which method should I report?
Most reporting frameworks require both. The GHG Protocol recommends dual reporting. NetNada calculates both automatically โ€” the main GHG Dashboard defaults to location-based.
Where do on-site solar panels show up?
On-site renewable generation appears in the separate Renewable Energy Dashboard, not here. This dashboard covers purchased electricity only.
Why is my dashboard empty?
Check that electricity data has been uploaded, that it's linked to the correct node, and that the node has a country and state set. Emission factors are applied based on location.
