Published as one number

Google Cloud prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up and no split by gas.

Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol

Scope 2 0.00273

You buy the energy, so its generation is your Scope 2.

What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour, from the fuel to your meter. Not every step on it is counted; what is left out is listed below.

  1. Generation

    Producing the electricity at the power plants that make up the mix

    Included0.00273

  2. Your meter

    1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.

    = 0.00273

Outside this boundary

  • Electricity lost on the network
  • Producing and delivering the plants' fuel
  • Building the power plants

Google Cloud counts burning fuel at the plants, not producing and delivering that fuel or building the plants.
