Energy production by renewability

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Energy production by renewability presents energy produced during the reporting period in separate renewable and non-renewable rows under a declared gross or net production-metering basis.

Reporting boundary

Energy-producing operations inside the reporting perimeter. Production is distinct from consumption, self-generated energy consumed and energy sold, and fuel input is not added to produced-energy output.

Unit meaning: This metric is reported as a structured table; each field carries the unit stated in the table fields below.

Table fields and units

  • Renewable or non-renewable class, source and carrier
  • Energy produced (MWh — megawatt-hours of energy produced; 1 MWh = 1,000 kWh)
  • Facility, country and gross or net production-metering basis
  • Self-consumed, sold or other destination
  • Reporting period, method edition and missing-value reason

Published dimensions

  • Energy-production row
  • Renewable or non-renewable production
  • Energy source
  • Electricity, heat, steam, cooling or fuel carrier
  • Facility and country
  • Gross or net production-metering basis
  • Self-consumed, sold or other destination
  • Reporting method edition

No single formula

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Binding Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated 1 January 2025, ESRS E1-5 paragraph 39; the adopted-pending July 2026 ESRS annex is compatibility evidence only.

  • Renewable or non-renewable production class
  • Source and electricity, heat, steam, cooling or fuel carrier
  • Energy produced in MWh, spelled out as megawatt-hours of energy produced
  • Facility, country and gross or net production-metering basis
  • Self-consumed, sold or other destination where available
  • Reporting period and method edition
  • Controls separating production, consumption, sales and fuel input
  • Unavailable values with reasons, never silently represented as zero

Record-specific limitations

  • Production is not energy consumption, self-generated energy consumed, installed capacity or energy sold.
  • A combined total can hide the renewable mix and is not comparable without a common gross or net metering basis.
  • Renewable and non-renewable rows remain visible and are not combined across incompatible facilities or carriers.
  • Fuel input must not be added to the energy output produced from that fuel.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
