Kern van de disclosure
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how much energy it uses and what that energy is made up of. In practice, the report should show the organisation’s energy use in a way that is clear enough to understand the main sources and the balance between different energy types, rather than just giving a headline total. The emphasis is on describing the organisation’s actual energy profile in a structured way.
The practical focus is usually on coverage across the organisation’s activities, not only a few flagship sites or best-performing locations. A useful report should make clear whether the figures cover all operations, selected entities, or specific sites, and should help readers see where the main energy demand sits and how the mix varies across the business.

Hoe u dit voorbereidt
De gegevens opvragen
Request energy use and fuel mix data from Operations
Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.
What energy did we use in the reporting period, and how was that energy split across fuel and generation types?
Use your own site, utility and fuel names first, then map them to the reporting categories in the pack. Keep the ask in the language your team already uses for meters, invoices, generators, purchased power and on-site generation, rather than using framework terms in the request itself.
Zwak verzoek
Please provide the ESRS E1:E1-7 energy consumption and mix data, including total MWh and the split by fossil, nuclear and renewable, plus coal, oil, gas, other fossil, renewable production and non-renewable production.
Waarom dit misgaat: This uses framework language that many operational teams will not recognise, so it is harder to action quickly. It also does not tell the owner which systems, sites, labels or assumptions to use, or what supporting records to return.
Beter verzoek
Please send the energy and fuel figures for [reporting period] for [sites/assets], using the labels your team already uses for meters, invoices, fuels and on-site generation. Include the total energy used, the split by fuel or generation type, the source extract or records, any conversion factors, and any gaps or estimates. Please adapt this to your organisation’s own terms and check the source material before sign-off.
Sjabloon voor een formele e-mail
Subject: Request for energy use and fuel mix data for [reporting period] Hi [name/team], We are preparing the sustainability reporting pack and need your help with the energy data for [reporting period]. Please share the figures and supporting records for [sites/assets/boundary] using the way your team already tracks energy, fuel and on-site generation. Please include: - total energy used for the period - the split by your internal energy categories, such as electricity, gas, diesel, other fuels and any on-site generation - any breakdown you hold for purchased energy versus energy produced on site - the source records behind the numbers, such as meter exports, invoices, system reports or generator logs - any conversion factors, assumptions or estimates used - notes on gaps, exclusions or unusual items If it is easier, please return the data in the attached table and add any comments needed for review. Please adapt this to your organisation’s own terms and check the source material before sign-off. Thanks, [preparer name]
Korte versie voor Teams / Slack

|---|---|---|
| We prepared the coverage figure using a cautious split between renewable and non-renewable supply where the source mix was not directly clear. | An assurer may test whether the split method is genuinely cautious, consistently applied, and not used to overstate the renewable share. | Method note showing the split logic; source data and assumptions; working papers showing how ambiguous cases were treated; review sign-off on the final allocation. |
| We kept any fuel used as an input to make other products separate from the energy totals we reported. | An assurer may probe whether excluded feedstock volumes were identified correctly and kept out of the energy totals without omission or double counting. | Process notes on what was treated as feedstock; inventory or production records; reconciliation between operational data and reported totals; evidence of review of exclusions. |
| Where we used a market-based view for the renewable share, we held contracts that clearly show what environmental attribute we bought. | An assurer may check whether the contractual evidence actually supports the market-based classification and whether the attribute claimed is specific and unambiguous. | Contracts, certificates or other purchase records; terms showing the environmental attribute transferred; supplier correspondence; internal checklist confirming the attribute matched the reported classification. |
| We presented renewable output and non-renewable output as separate figures in the same unit. | An assurer may test whether the two streams were separated correctly, converted on a consistent basis, and reconciled to source records. | Production logs; conversion calculations; reconciliation to meter or plant records; review evidence confirming the separate presentation. |
| We recorded how the renewable share was worked out, and we identified whether the approach followed a market-based or a location-based basis. | An assurer may probe whether the chosen basis was applied consistently and whether the underlying data support that basis. | Calculation methodology; basis selection memo; source data used for the calculation; evidence of management review and approval. |
| We built the total energy figure from operational records and then split it by source type for reporting. | An assurer may check whether the total is complete, whether the source split is accurate, and whether the reported unit and boundaries are consistent. | Energy ledger or consolidation workbook; utility and fuel records; boundary and scope notes; reconciliation to the final reported total; sign-off evidence. |

Synthetisch, geschreven door LRA — niet afkomstig uit een bedrijfsrapport en geen tekst uit een standaard.
We report our purchased and self-generated energy for the year, split between low-carbon and fossil-based sources, and we also show how our own output is divided between renewable and non-renewable forms.
- Total energy used: 120,000 MWh, of which 78,000 MWh came from fossil-based sources, 12,000 MWh from nuclear, and 30,000 MWh from renewable sources.
- Fossil-based use is broken down as 18,000 MWh coal, 22,000 MWh oil, 30,000 MWh gas, and 8,000 MWh other fossil fuels; our own production was 14,000 MWh renewable and 6,000 MWh non-renewable.
Synthetic example for practitioner training only; figures are internally consistent and illustrative, not reported facts.
Our year-end energy picture separates total consumption from the main source types, and it also distinguishes the electricity and heat we produced ourselves by whether they were renewable or not.
- We used 84,000 MWh in total: 42,000 MWh fossil-based, 6,000 MWh nuclear, and 36,000 MWh renewable.
- The fossil-based portion comprises 10,000 MWh coal, 12,000 MWh oil, 15,000 MWh gas, and 5,000 MWh other fossil fuels; our own output was 9,000 MWh renewable and 3,000 MWh non-renewable.

Scenario’s om door te werken
A preparer has the year-end energy ledger for a manufacturing site. The ledger shows 12,400 MWh used in total, split between grid electricity, on-site gas boilers, and a small amount of purchased steam, but the team has not yet grouped the figures into fuel categories for the disclosure.
A group treasury team has bought electricity from a supplier that markets a “green” tariff. The contract file shows certificates, but the operations team is unsure whether the purchased power should be treated as renewable in the energy mix table or left in a separate note.
A utility subsidiary generates power for its own use and also exports some electricity to the grid. For the reporting year, it produced 8,000 MWh from solar panels and 2,000 MWh from gas turbines, while 1,500 MWh was used internally and the rest was sold externally.
A finance team is preparing the draft disclosure for a diversified group. One business unit uses coal and gas, another uses only purchased electricity, and a third has a small nuclear supply contract; the team is unsure whether to present only the dominant source or every source that appears in the records.

FAQ
Vragen die deze pagina beantwoordt
Use the page’s plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section to identify the datapoints, scope, and evidence you need. The page is designed to help you turn source data into a draft disclosure, not to replace your own reporting judgement.
The page says to prepare ten datapoints: total electricity use, fossil electricity use, nuclear electricity use, renewable electricity use, coal generation share, oil generation share, gas generation share, other fossil share, renewable output, and non-renewable output. Use those as your starting checklist when asking data owners for inputs.
The page’s preparation section is meant to help you define what data sits behind the disclosure before you draft it. Use it to agree the reporting boundary, the relevant data owners, and which figures will feed the final narrative and table.
The page is written for sustainability/ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should be assigned to the people who can source, check, and explain the electricity data. The workbook and evidence-pack prompts are there to help you coordinate that ownership clearly.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items and six assurance claims to verify, each framed around a claim, risk, and evidence. Use those to build a file that shows where the numbers came from and how they were checked.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes so you can spot issues before sign-off. In practice, use that section to check for missing datapoints, weak support, or inconsistencies between the source data and the draft disclosure.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format to help you organise the disclosure work. It is intended to support preparation, evidence tracking, and assurance readiness rather than replace your internal controls.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format. Use it as a quick reference alongside the workbook when you are collecting data, checking the disclosure, or briefing colleagues.
Yes, it includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative data table. Treat these as examples of how a finished disclosure might look, not as a template to copy without checking your own data.
The draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters, and a content-index line to help you shape the disclosure. Use those prompts to turn your checked data into a clear first draft for review.
