Amount of energy potentially generated over the lifetime of products sold by the organization during the reporting period.
Energy Capacity of Products Sold (PD1504)
Calculation:
- Reporting Format Unit of Measure (PD1602)
- Metric Type Metric
- Metric Level Product/Service
- IRIS Metric Citation IRIS, 2021. Producer Price Premium (PI1568). v5.2.
Footnote
Organizations should footnote the energy type(s) and all assumptions used to determine the energy capacity.
Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the total product-lifetime energy that could be generated by products that the organization sold during the reporting period. It most applies to products that will be operated or used by a client of the organization (as opposed to the organization itself). Organizations should report Energy Capacity of Product (PD2713) for each relevant energy-generating product and disaggregate Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263) by product.
-
When multiplying the energy capacity of each product sold by Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263), organizations should, under Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263), use the absolute number of product units sold rather than the volume of energy delivered by the product.
