Best Practices for Power Source & Emissions Disclosure

Clear power source disclosure helps customers understand what electricity they are buying and the emissions associated with it. CEAP’s new Best Practices for Power Source and Emissions Disclosure offers a practical U.S. framework for more accurate, transparent, and comparable electricity disclosures. The guidance recommends product-specific disclosure; accounting based on delivered attributes rather than utility-wide averages; alignment between resource mix and emissions reporting; and clear treatment of RECs and other EACs, unspecified power, null power, and state load-based policies. Designed for regulators, utilities, electricity suppliers, and voluntary market participants, this resource helps strengthen consumer trust, reduce confusion, and support more credible clean energy claims.
