Challenge

Fragmented metering and inconsistent REC records made audit-ready market-based Scope 2 reporting difficult across five countries with different residual mixes.

Approach

  • PUE, IT load, chiller and UPS meters ingested via SFTP/API; anomaly flags.
  • Country-specific residual mix + grid factors; location vs market-based split.
  • REC/PPA ledger with vintage, source, certificate ID; automated retirement roll-ups.
  • ESRS E1 export with disclosure notes.

Outcomes

  • Defensible 18% reduction in market-based Scope 2; improved PUE via alerting.
  • Simplified assurance—evidence vault links certificates to consumption windows.
