Energy Capacity of Products Sold (PD1504)

This metric is intended to capture the total potential energy production of the products that were sold during the reporting period. This metric should be based on the amount of energy that could be generated by the product during its lifetime. It is most applicable for products that will be operated or used by a client of the organization as opposed to the organization itself.

When multiplying the energy capacity of each product sold by Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263), organizations should use absolute number of units rather than volume. For example, if the energy capacity of each product (e.g., a light bulb) is multiplied by each unit of light bulb product sold, the total energy capacity of products sold can be calculated.

Organizations interested in reporting on the energy capacity of an individual product should report against Energy Capacity of Product (PD2713).
