Recognition of Standard Delivery Renewable Energy in Different Programs and Standards

Many voluntary standards and programs have policies around recognizing the use of renewable energy that is not actively procured by the reporting entity (Standard Delivery Renewable Energy). These policies are communicated explicitly, implicitly or in the use of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions factors. This document presents a representative summary and comparison of current program requirements for accounting for delivered renewable energy. It was developed in 2020 to support the Accounting for Standard Delivery Renewable Energy report published under CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP).
