Select the instrument that backs your electricity in the Type of contractual instrument column of each electricity row. It only affects the market-based result.
Options:
- GO — Guarantee of Origin (EU): certificate of renewable origin issued in Europe.
- REC — Renewable Energy Certificate (USA/Canada): certificate used in the US and Canada. An I-REC is declared with this option.
- Green tariff with audited supplier factor: renewable tariff for which your supplier gives an audited emission factor. A PPA is declared with this option, provided that factor is supplied.
- No: you have no instrument; the country’s residual mix applies.
Steps
- In the electricity row, open the instrument dropdown.
- Select the option that matches your contract.
- Fill in Reference / Certificate No. and Reference file name.
Good to know
- Declare an instrument only for the volume it actually covers.
- For a green tariff, enter the audited factor from your supplier (kgCO₂e/kWh) in the market-based factor column.
