Annual average grid intensity overstates emissions for companies that consume during clean periods — and understates them for those that don't. gridIQ calculates time-matched Scope 2 at actual grid carbon intensity per half-hour, aligned with GHG Protocol and designed to support ASRS disclosure. Verify outputs with a qualified professional before regulatory submission.
Start Free TrialLocation-based Scope 2 uses a single grid intensity figure for the entire year. If your operations run during high-renewable daytime hours, your real emissions are lower than that number suggests. If you run overnight on coal-heavy baseload, they’re higher. Either way, the number in your sustainability report is wrong.
Getting an accurate, time-matched Scope 2 calculation typically means engaging a sustainability consultant at $5,000–$15,000 per report. The data they use is the same public AEMO data gridIQ ingests automatically.
Australia’s mandatory Sustainability Reporting Standards require increasingly rigorous emissions disclosure. Time-matched, market-based Scope 2 isn’t optional anymore — it’s the direction regulators and investors expect.
Upload interval meter data as CSV. gridIQ matches each half-hour to actual grid carbon intensity. Both location-based and market-based figures side by side.

In testing, time-matched Scope 2 calculations typically show a 15–40% difference from location-based figures — in either direction. For a mid-size commercial operation consuming 5,000 MWh annually, that difference can be hundreds of tonnes of CO₂e. The number matters for disclosure, for carbon offset procurement, and for demonstrating genuine progress.
gridIQ replaces a $5,000–$15,000 consultant engagement with a $349/month platform that updates continuously. Upload your meter data once, get reports on demand, track progress quarter by quarter.
