Why utility data is the foundation

For many teams, electricity and gas are the most reliable starting point for Scope 2 reporting.

Common issues

• Different billing cycles across sites
• Mixed units (kWh, MWh, therms)
• Missing months or late invoices

Best practices

• Normalize to consistent units and reporting periods.
• Flag outliers for review before reporting.
• Keep source documents linked for traceability.

Outcome: cleaner baselines, faster cycles, and dashboards stakeholders trust.
