Energy Generated for Use: Non-renewable (OI1495)

This metric is intended to capture the amount of energy produced and used by the organization. For example, if an organization builds its own natural gas plant and uses this generated energy for its factories, it would report the amount of energy produced and used from that source.

Non-renewable energy sources include coal, natural gas, crude oil derivatives, and other forms. Organizations may refer to the glossary for additional information.

Organizations that want to report on the amount of renewable energy generated for sale should report against Energy Generated for Sale: Renewable (PI5842).

In some contexts, this metric can serve as an indicator of whether the outcome being sought by an investor or organization is occurring (the WHAT dimension of impact). For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see specific guidance document. No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
