# Does a Thai utility green tariff lower my market based Scope 2?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/thailand-utility-green-tariff-scope-2

It can. Thailand has introduced utility green tariffs that attach renewable electricity to your supply. If the attributes are retired for you, cover the same year and meet the GHG Protocol Scope 2 quality criteria, the matching kWh carry a renewable factor in your market based total. Check current terms with your utility.

## What to confirm

- The kWh covered and the year.
- That certificates or attributes are retired in your name.
- Whether the tariff draws on new or existing plants, which some buyers ask about.

## Location based

Stays at the Thai grid average whatever tariff you choose.

## Reporting

Show both totals and the tariff documents next to the bills.

## 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.
