This data point captures the total amount of renewable (green) electricity generated on-site by the company and directly consumed for internal operations during the reporting year, expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Examples include electricity from solar panels, wind turbines, small-scale hydro systems, or biomass-powered generators installed on company premises. Only electricity that is consumed internally — not exported to the grid — should be reported here.
What to include:
All renewable electricity generated on-site and consumed internally during the reporting period.
Electricity from company-owned solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or other renewable sources used in company operations.
Generation data from systems with or without renewable energy certification (as long as the source is renewable).
What not to include:
Electricity exported to the grid (even if from on-site renewables).
Non-renewable on-site generation (e.g., diesel generators).
Purchased electricity (even if renewable) — reported separately.
Estimation Methodology:
If actual full-year generation data is not available:
Use available monthly or quarterly meter/inverter data.
Calculate an average generation per period.
Multiply the average by the number of missing periods.
Subtract any measured grid export values to ensure only internal consumption is reported.
Document the calculation in Green0Meter.
