Saudi Carbon Monitoring provides Scope 2 electricity data support in Saudi Arabia, helping multi-site organisations build a controlled evidence set for Scope 2 calculation by a GHG practitioner. Purchased electricity and other acquired energy can appear straightforward, yet multi-site records often contain gaps, overlapping bills, shared meters, tenant allocations and changing account numbers.

Saudi Carbon Monitoring scopes, coordinates and manages the data work; the calculation and disclosures are delivered by a named GHG practitioner, and any independent verification by a separate verifier. GHG Protocol’s Scope 2 Guidance addresses emissions from purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heat and cooling, and the practitioner determines the reporting approach, factors and disclosures applicable to the organisation. This service prepares data; it does not issue a verified inventory.
Map accounts, meters and sites
Start with a complete location register linked to utility accounts, meters, submeters, landlords or service providers. Record which organisational entity and facility each account supports, the energy type, unit, billing period, meter multiplier and data owner. New, closed and transferred accounts need effective dates.
Where one meter serves several occupants or processes, document the allocation method and source evidence. If a facility has onsite generation, exports or backup generation, keep purchased energy and direct fuel use separate so Scope 1 and Scope 2 are not duplicated.
Align reporting periods and units
Utility bills rarely start and end exactly on the reporting year. The practitioner selects a cut-off or allocation approach and applies it consistently. Estimated bills, corrected readings and late statements are flagged. Convert kWh, MWh, GJ or other units through a controlled dictionary, retaining the original value.
Reconcile site totals against finance, procurement or building-management records where available. Large changes may be legitimate, such as expansion, shutdown, weather or occupancy, but need explanation. Missing months trigger investigation or a transparent estimate rather than being treated as zero.
Control factors and contractual evidence
The factor source, year, geography, unit and method are documented. Where the chosen framework requires location-based and market-based reporting, the practitioner determines whether contractual instruments meet the relevant quality criteria. A tariff label or supplier marketing statement is not converted into a zero-emissions claim without review.
Retain contracts, certificates or supplier-specific disclosures used in the calculation, including retirement or ownership evidence when applicable. This service does not include the sale of carbon credits or the certification of energy attributes.
Connect energy data to operations
Energy data can also support intensity metrics and operational baselines when production, floor area, occupancy or weather data are controlled. The industrial energy and resource performance service helps define those comparisons. A reduction in purchased electricity may reflect efficiency, production change or boundary movement; interpretation needs context.
Scope inputs and outputs
Provide the Saudi entity and facility list, utility accounts, invoices, interval data, landlord statements, onsite generation, exported energy, contracts, reporting period, chosen framework and verification plans. Outputs can include the account-to-site map, period reconciliation, controlled dataset, evidence index, factor register, allocation log, exceptions and approval trail. Scope 2 data support is available for projects across Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Jubail and Riyadh.
Multi-site reconciliation controls
Maintain a master account register that connects every utility account and meter to one facility, legal entity, energy type and effective date. Each reporting cycle:
- compare the active account list with finance payments, leases and facility changes;
- investigate accounts that appear in finance but not the carbon dataset, and sites in the boundary with no energy record;
- record shared or landlord-supplied energy separately until allocation is approved;
- compare interval data, aggregated, with billed totals and explain losses, adjustments or differing periods;
- keep certificates or contractual claims together with the instrument, period, quantity, facility or market relationship and retirement evidence.
A dashboard does not label a value “renewable” merely because a tariff field contains that word. The practitioner approves the treatment and disclosure, and any verifier receives the complete evidence chain rather than only a supplier summary.
Annual rollover
At the start of each reporting year, review the facility and account register, factor year, contracts and allocation rules. Carry forward only approved mappings. New sites, closed accounts and meter changes need effective dates. This short rollover prevents an apparently complete Scope 2 dataset from repeating last year’s boundary or factor assumptions after the organisation has changed.
Frequently asked questions
Who provides Scope 2 electricity data support in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Carbon Monitoring provides Scope 2 electricity data support in Saudi Arabia by building the account and meter register, reconciling periods and units, and assembling the evidence set for the responsible practitioner.
Is purchased electricity always Scope 2?
It is generally reported in Scope 2 under GHG Protocol, subject to the organisation’s approved boundary and method. Onsite fuel combustion is usually Scope 1.
How are missing utility bills handled?
Investigate alternative records, then use a documented estimation method if permitted. Record the gap, uncertainty, owner and replacement plan.
How do I prepare Scope 2 electricity data for multiple sites?
Build a master account register, then confirm landlord coverage, allocation, units and evidence against the chosen organisational boundary. BMS energy data may supplement invoices once meter identity, calibration, completeness and reconciliation are checked.
Does a renewable tariff make emissions zero?
Not automatically. The practitioner assesses contractual instruments and quality criteria under the selected guidance.
What affects the cost of Scope 2 data support?
Cost depends on the number of sites, utility accounts and meters, the quality of existing records, allocation complexity, and the evidence-set deliverables.
How long does Scope 2 data support take?
Timing depends on the number of accounts, data readiness, bill availability and review steps. Lead time is confirmed in each quotation.
Saudi Carbon Monitoring serves projects across Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Al Khobar, Jubail, Riyadh, Jeddah, NEOM and Qiddiya.
