Electricity

Engage has a renewable energy view beside disclosing, reducing and setting targets. It sorts organisations into segments by the renewable energy criteria they meet, such as purchasing renewable energy credits, and weights each segment by embodied emissions, so a large supplier with no renewable procurement stands out. Criteria are configurable per project.

On your free DitchCarbon profile, the to-do list has an electricity step covering your last three reporting years: consumption, renewable share and low-carbon share. Upload a sustainability report, annual report, CDP response or CSRD filing and we extract the figures. Every customer that looks you up then reads the same answer.

The Energy tab on each organisation's profile charts its electricity by year in megawatt hours, split into low-carbon and non-low-carbon, with its low-carbon and renewable shares plotted against the regional grid. Every value is marked disclosed, derived or assumed, and clicking it opens the source document at the page.

Where an organisation has disclosed its electricity, its own figures are used and allocated to your spend. Where it has not, the volume is modelled from your spend and the electricity intensity of its industry, and the low-carbon share from its regional grid. Every figure is marked organisation data or industry modelled.

Each organisation on the Energy Map shows its near-term Scope 2 target status, tested against its own two-year and five-year emissions trends: on track over both, on track over one, off track, too little data to judge, or no target. A separate column marks RE100 members, and a tile gives the share of electricity covered by targets.

Every organisation on the Energy Map carries one suggested action, chosen from what it has disclosed and how its mix compares with its grid: request energy disclosure, ask for renewable procurement through EACs or a PPA, showcase as an example, request product electricity data, or no action. Select by action and send the request.

Each organisation's disclosed low-carbon electricity share is set against the low-carbon share of its regional grid. More than ten points above is marked ahead of grid, more than ten below is marked behind, and anything between is at grid. The comparison is location-based and appears on the Energy Map and on the organisation's profile.

Choose the EAC and PPA view and the Energy Map counts each organisation's allocated electricity that is not yet low-carbon, using the low-carbon share the organisation has disclosed. The result is a megawatt hour figure per supplier and per country, with the share of your embodied emissions it represents.

The Energy Map allocates each organisation's electricity to your spend with it and plots the total by country. Every country is coloured by the low-carbon share of its grid, and the regions are ranked by electricity emissions, so the megawatt hours that carry the most carbon are the first thing you see.
