Considerations for Average Emissions - Energy Volume #5

Description

@dec-heim

Currently average emissions method uses total emissions from dispatched generators divided by sent-out generation of registered generators. An alternative argument that can be raised is:

  • ('True') Average Emissions Intensity should consider exported rooftop PV as part of the generation. In practice the average emissions intensity may be lower than currently found, if there is a high volume of rooftop PV. e.g. the total emissions are further spread across 'grid' energy.
  • Average Emissions Intensity should not consider registered renewable generators which have signed bundled PPAs for LGCs. e.g. the emissions intensity of the grid is theoretically higher than currently, since a portion of clean energy isn't available for energy users consuming grid energy but rather directly sourced by those contracted to bundled ppas.
