How it works

Reporting

PowerPlus matches your business’s electricity consumption, MWh for MWh, with renewable electricity production from within the same market.

• PowerPlus is underpinned by the world’s leading standards for certifying the environmental attributes of renewable energy projects.
• Each renewable energy project reports its metered MWh of renewable electricity generation, which is then verified by an independent third party to ensure accuracy.
• ​PowerPlus is one of very few green power products with the ability to facilitate additional investments in grid connected renewable energy. For validation to emission reduction standards each project must also pass an additionality test to demonstrate that the project activity is beyond business as usual.
• All PowerPlus transactions are tracked and retired through third party registries to ensure the MWh claims are unique to your business.

PowerPlus is structured to comply with the new Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2 guidance, enabling your business to meet the reporting requirements. 

• Conveying GHG emission rate claims – The underlying projects are verified to third party standards and conveyed through PowerPlus.
• Unique claims – PowerPlus uses a combination of third party project standards,  independent registries, and contractual guarantees to ensure unique claims. 
• Cancellation – Each PowerPlus instrument is issued, transferred and retired or cancelled on the relevant registry and an overall transaction registry is maintained here.  
• Vintage – The generation period of PowerPlus is reported and matched to consumption periods. 
• Market boundaries – PowerPlus sources renewable energy in the same country or market as the electricity consumption.
• Residual mix – Each PowerPlus transaction discloses the data necessary for residual mix calculations.
