Our green open access bill shows deviation units. How do they count in Scope 2?
Only renewable units actually scheduled and settled to you count as green. When you draw more than scheduled, the shortfall comes from the grid and takes the grid factor. Read the DISCOM settlement statement, not the contracted quantity.
What to read
- Scheduled renewable units for the month.
- Actual drawal from the DISCOM energy account.
- Banked or lapsed units shown on the statement.
How to split
Green units settled to you take a zero or supplier factor under the market-based method. Every other unit drawn takes the grid factor.
One month
- Total drawal 500,000 kWh; renewable settled 380,000 kWh
- Grid share 120,000 kWh x 0.710 kg = 85,200 kg CO2
