Exported energy - electricity
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports Exported energy - electricity (EE) as an International EPD GPI 5 result for each declared or functional unit and life-cycle stage or module. Those reporting axes remain dimensions of one metric identity.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit
- MJ - reported per declared or functional unit and life-cycle module
- Reporting basis
- EPD reference period and product-system data period, reported with the declaration validity context
- Aggregation
- Keep results separated by declared or functional unit and life-cycle stage or module; aggregate only compatible product systems, PCRs, units, stages and geographies.
- Pillar
- Environmental
- Topic
- Climate, energy and product life-cycle impacts
- Controlled domain
- Products and life-cycle assessment
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
The product system, declared or functional unit, life-cycle stages or modules and cut-off or allocation rules established by GPI 5 and the applicable PCR.

Disclosure form
Report the source-defined characterized or inventory result by life-cycle moduleThe governed indicator list establishes the named result, unit and reporting dimensions. Preserve the applicable GPI, PCR, life-cycle inventory and characterization method rather than inventing a universal arithmetic expression.

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.

Source-edition basis: GPI 5.0.1 (27 February 2025) with default indicator list Version 3.0
- State the declared or functional unit and reference flow.
- Report the life-cycle stage or module for every result and preserve omitted or not-applicable modules.
- Identify the product or product group, geography, PCR and EPD programme rules applied.
- Disclose allocation, cut-off, data-quality, characterization, scenario and end-of-life assumptions.
- State whether the result is optional by default and that it is mandatory for construction products.
Record-specific limitations
- Declared or functional units and life-cycle stages are dimensions, not separate metric identities.
- Results are comparable only when product systems, PCRs, units, modules, datasets and characterization methods are aligned.
- Default requirement status differs for non-construction and construction products; it does not change the measured identity.
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.
