How should an electronics supplier in Bac Ninh report Scope 2 for its global buyers?
Report location-based Scope 2 with Vietnam's published grid factor and, if you buy renewable power through a direct contract or certificates, a market-based figure as well. Electronics brands usually ask for both, plus monthly kWh by site.
Two figures
- Location-based: kWh times Vietnam's latest grid factor from the environment ministry.
- Market-based: kWh covered by contracts or certificates at their own factor, the rest at a residual or grid factor.
What brands ask for
- Monthly electricity use per site, from bills or meters.
- Contracts or certificates, with the volume and period they cover.
- A plan for raising the renewable share.
Direct power contracts
Vietnam allows direct power purchase agreements for large users. Keep the contract and the delivery statements; brands will ask to see that the power matches the claimed period.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, electricity and production documents into dated, fingerprinted plant records, so the monthly intensity behind a figure can be traced to its source.
