VERIFIED EXPORT & CARBON

Portfolio carbon reporting from real, metered kWh.

NZC Portal records every kWh generated, self-consumed and exported, converts it into verified Scope 2 savings using current DEFRA factors, and rolls it up into SECR, GHG Protocol, NZCBS, ESG and investor-ready outputs across your estate.

What it is

Automated recording of every kWh your solar and microgeneration assets produce, consume on site, and export to the grid. NZC Portal links metered generation data to DEFRA GHG conversion factors to calculate verified Scope 2 carbon savings in real time.

The result is audit-ready evidence of carbon reduction that aligns with SECR, GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, and the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard — recorded continuously, not estimated at year-end.

For portfolios, the platform rolls up site-level data into fund-level carbon dashboards, making investor and regulator disclosure straightforward.

When you need it

  • You report under SECR or GHG Protocol and need verified Scope 2 carbon data, not estimates.
  • You disclose to investors, GRESB or ESG frameworks and need auditable evidence of on-site generation and avoided emissions.
  • You track NZCBS compliance and need live carbon savings from microgeneration to evidence the NZC Aligned Building claim.
  • You operate PPAs or tenant billing and need export volumes tied directly to carbon outcomes.
  • You manage a property fund or multi-site portfolio and need fund-level carbon dashboards, not site-by-site spreadsheets.
  • Your sustainability team needs a single source of truth across asset, facility and ESG reporting cycles.

What you get

Verified export recording

Every kWh generated, self-consumed and exported to grid is metered and logged — not modelled or assumed — so your data stands up to audit.

Scope 2 carbon savings

Generation data is converted to tCO2e using current DEFRA GHG conversion factors, giving you live, location-based Scope 2 savings.

SECR, GHG and NZCBS ready

Report templates and data exports aligned to SECR, GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, and UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard requirements.

Audit-ready evidence

All generation, export and carbon data is timestamped, traceable to meter reads, and stored in NZC Portal for regulator or investor review.

How it works

    Meter every kWh

    Site meters and inverters feed live generation, consumption and export data into NZC Portal continuously.

    Calculate carbon savings

    The platform applies current DEFRA GHG conversion factors to convert exported and self-consumed kWh into verified tCO2e savings.

  3. 3

    Build your reports

    Generate SECR, GHG Protocol and NZCBS-aligned reports with generation, export and carbon data rolled up by site, fund or portfolio.

  4. 4

    Disclose with confidence

    All data is timestamped, traceable and auditable — ready for regulator review, investor disclosure or GRESB submission.
