MetricEnergy consumption and source mix

Own-operations energy-consumption mix by source

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Own-operations energy-consumption mix by source presents final-energy consumption by fossil, nuclear and renewable source, with compatible energy quantities and percentage shares kept visible.

Reporting boundary

The same own-operations final-energy perimeter applies to every source row. Non-combusted feedstocks are excluded, onsite energy sold is not netted, and location-based and market-based alternatives remain separate.

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

  • Fossil, nuclear or renewable source class, detailed source and carrier
  • Origin, contractual or accounting basis, activity, facility, country and sector
  • Energy consumed (MWh — megawatt-hours of final energy consumed; 1 MWh = 1,000 kWh)
  • Share of total energy (% of compatible total own-operations final-energy consumption)
  • Reporting period, method edition and missing-value reason

Published dimensions

  • Energy-consumption mix row
  • Fossil, nuclear or renewable source class
  • Detailed energy source
  • Energy carrier
  • Purchased, acquired or self-generated origin
  • Contractual, location-based or market-based basis
  • Activity, facility and country
  • High climate impact sector
  • 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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Binding Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated 1 January 2025, ESRS E1-5 paragraphs 35-38 and AR32-35; the July 2026 annex and GRI 103: Energy 2025 are compatibility evidence only.

  • Fossil, nuclear or renewable class and detailed source
  • Carrier, origin and contractual or accounting basis
  • Energy consumed in MWh, spelled out as megawatt-hours of final energy
  • Share as percent of compatible total own-operations final-energy consumption
  • Compatible share numerator and denominator boundary
  • Activity, facility, country, sector, reporting period and method edition
  • Mutually exclusive row and self-generation double-count controls
  • Unavailable and unclassified values with reasons, never silently represented as zero

Record-specific limitations

  • The mix describes consumption rather than installed capacity, production, grid mix, primary energy, greenhouse gas emissions or energy cost.
  • Source rows must be mutually exclusive and percentages must be recomputed from compatible energy totals.
  • Location-based and market-based alternatives are not additive.
  • Feedstocks, sold onsite energy and fuel-to-self-generation double counting can distort the mix if not controlled.

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.
