The Electricity Emissions Factor Set object represents the factors that are used to convert electricity usage into CO₂e, CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O values. This record holds data on the breakdown of sources of electricity by fuel type (grid mixes).

The renewable energy fields are the sum of biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, and hydroelectricity values.
Total Renewable Energy is also delineated into a total that includes hydroelectricity sources [Total Renewable Energy (kWh)] and a total that doesn’t include Hydroelectricity sources [Total Renewable Energy Excluding Hydro (kWh)].
