What proof of renewable electricity will a buyer accept from my factory?
Documents that show you own the renewable attribute for the units you claim: green tariff bills from the discom, retired renewable energy certificates, open access invoices with the certificates, or generation meter readings from your own rooftop solar.
Accepted evidence
- Green tariff bills naming the units and period.
- REC or I-REC retirement statements in your name.
- Open access or group captive contracts with generation and allocation statements.
- Rooftop generation meter readings.
Common gaps
Certificates sold on or claimed twice, and solar units already exported to the grid. The GHG Protocol's quality criteria apply to every claim.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads electricity bills, including kVAh, demand and solar export lines, into dated records with the units, factor and year behind every Scope 2 figure.
