Referencing Data from Abatement Entries


Renewable energy generated onsite is a common abatement project type, if you have previously recorded this data as savings in the Actual Abatement section under the Grid(Non-Renewable) emission source, you can transfer the data to data entry page as On-Site Generation(Renewable) consumption data to ensure integrity of energy consumption data.


Prerequisites


  • Ensure there are existing abatement initiatives in the low-carbon energy generation category that are in the Implemented phase.

  • Ensure these initiatives have savings data recorded under the Grid(Non-Renewable) emissions source in Actual Abatement tab, with the Fill in Using Savings Directly switch button enabled.


Procedure

Reference abatement data by the following steps:


  1. Click on Data Management > Data Entry in the left navigation pane.

  2. Select the view and entity from the drop down menu, then select the corresponding accounting standard.

  3. Specify the reporting year, then click on Sync Abatement Data.

  4. In the pop-up window, select the abatement initiative you wish to reference. Click OK, and the data will be synchronized under On-Site Generation(Renewable) sources in the data entry categories.
