# What grid emission factor should a supplier in Georgia use?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/georgia-grid-emission-factor-for-suppliers

Most of Georgia's power comes from hydro, with gas plants filling winter and dry months, so its grid factor is low next to its neighbours and moves with rainfall. Use the official or IEA figure for the reporting year and name it.

## Which figure

- Location based: the national grid average for the reporting year, from the official source or the IEA.
- Market based: a supplier specific figure or residual mix, only if one exists for Georgia.
- Write down the figure, its source and its year.

## Why it moves

Hydro output falls in winter, when gas plants and imports fill the gap. A dry year can raise the annual figure noticeably.

## Records

Monthly electricity bills with kWh, and meter readings for any power you make on site.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible reads electricity bills into dated, fingerprinted records and keeps location based and market based figures side by side, each with the factor and year used.
