Can a factory in Vietnam lower its market based Scope 2 through a direct power purchase agreement?
Yes, if the contract carries the renewable attributes to your site. A 2024 decree allows direct power purchase from wind and solar producers, through a private line or through the national grid. Market based Scope 2 can count those kWh at zero with the contract and monthly delivery records; location based stays on the grid factor.
Two forms
- Private line: the producer connects directly to your plant.
- Through the grid: you buy from the producer via the utility, with settlement rules.
What makes it count
- Contract naming your site and the attributes.
- Monthly delivered kWh matched to consumption.
- No double sale of certificates for the same power.
Check eligibility
Consumption thresholds, voltage levels and fees are set in the rules and can change. Confirm with the current decree and your industrial park operator.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads electricity bills and supply statements into a dated, fingerprinted record, so the kWh behind a market based claim trace back to the documents.
