Dear community,
We received a question from a client concerning market based calculations versus location based.
Context:
They have a PPA that states they buy all of the produced electricity from 2 wind turbines (2MW) and 30% of the power generated by a hydroelectric power station.
The rest of the consumption is location based, without any other certificate / contract.
Goal:
They want to calculate the total amount of purchased electricity: location based
Then they want to calculate the positive impact of the turbines and hydroelectric station > compare this to location based and see how emissions are lower.
Question:
Is the calculation as simple as total amount of electricity in MWH minus what was generated for the PPA (Wind+water)?
How to insert / format the data to calculate this? Because we would need both in the system: TOTAL amount of electricity in location based, but part of these records would also be in the system as market based, but they can't be duplicates? for example:
First calculation
100 GREY (location based) > emission calculation
Second calculation
60 GREY (location based) + 40 GREEN (PPA) > emission calculation
But 100 and 60 GREY can't be duplicates in the system of course.
Hope someone can help me out on this.
Thank you so much in advance!
