Renewable energy plan (corporate Calculators tab)

Splits a site's target renewable share into rooftop solar, open access and I-RECs, with Scope 2 before and after, costs and payback.

Standard
Ploxi planning model; open access per Green Energy Open Access Rules 2022; Scope 2 per GHG Protocol market-based

Formulas

Rooftop solar

Under review
kWp = floor(roof m² ÷ density); generation MWh = min(kWp × yield × 0.95 ÷ 1000, target MWh)

Roof area holds panels at a density by roof type; generation is capped at the target.

Open access and I-RECs

Under review
OA MWh = eligible ? min(target − rooftop, (load − rooftop) × 0.75) : 0; I-REC MWh = target − rooftop − OA

Open access needs an open-access market and at least 100 kVA contract demand, and covers at most 75% of what rooftop leaves. I-RECs close the rest of the target.

Scope 2 and money

Under review
S2 today = (load − renewable now) × grid; S2 after = (load − target) × grid; rooftop saving = MWh × 1000 × tariff; payback = capex ÷ saving; OA saving = MWh × 1000 × OA saving; I-REC cost = MWh × REC price

Everything inside the target counts as zero emissions after the plan (market-based).

Assumptions

  • Contract demand prefill: peak ≈ average load ÷ 0.65 load factor ÷ 0.9 power factor + 10% headroom.
  • Roof prefill: 40% of built-up footprint usable.

How to read this page. “Your data” is what you enter or what your organisation has recorded. “Factor table” values come from official publications, each with its source; a “pending review” mark means the figure is still being checked against that source. “Ploxi assumption” is a figure we chose where the standard leaves the choice open.
