This help page describes the data report for public bodies called ‘Energy & GHG breakdown'. This report presents charts and tables showing your organisation's energy consumption and GHG emissions data over time, broken down in different ways.
- This report comprises a header and a series of charts and data tables that are grouped in multiple report tabs and sub-tabs. Each of the four tabs presents data in a similar structure and format.
- Name of your organisation and its PSO ID.
- ‘Last year for which data reported’ indicates the most recent year for which data is shown in the report. Note that the data for this year could be incomplete, e.g. because you have not yet inputted some of your data.
- ‘Data status’ indicates how complete the data is for the most recent year.
This tab provides different breakdowns of your organisation's final energy consumption over time. Final energy consumption is the energy used by public bodies and other final consuming sectors of the economy, e.g. industry, transport, residential, etc. It excludes the energy used in the energy sector, e.g. for electricity generation, oil refining, etc.
For a more detailed explanation of how your final energy consumption is calculated, see ‘final energy consumption’ in energy & CO2.
- The pie chart provides a breakdown of final energy consumption by mode, i.e. between thermal energy, transport energy and electricity. The data shown is for the last year for which data was reported, as indicated in the report header.
- The stacked area chart provides a time series of the same data, from the start of your energy efficiency baseline period onwards.
- The first table shows your final energy consumption in each year, broken down by the energy types in which the consumption was reported, and aggregated by mode. Note:
- Where relevant, this table provides a breakdown between MPRN electricity and non-MPRN electricity, and between GPRN natural gas and non-GPRN natural gas.
- If your organisation consumed a quantity of a blended road transport fuel (e.g. ‘road diesel (standard spec)’), the consumption is shown as a subtotal of the blended quantity, i.e. the fossil and biofuel elements are combined and shown as a single value. This is different to the approach used in almost every other data report and table, where the fossil and biofuel elements are shown as separate quantities on separate rows (e.g. ‘road diesel (fossil)’ and ‘biodiesel’).
- The second table provides an alternative breakdown of your final energy consumption by mode in which the electricity that you have reported as being used for heat and transport are aggregated into the heat and transport modes respectively.
- The pie chart provides a breakdown of final energy consumption by energy category.
- Energy categories are groupings of energy types into which the M&R system aggregates energy consumption: electricity, natural gas, heating oils, LPG, solid fossil fuels, solid biomass, district heating, other thermal renewables, marked diesel (non thermal), transport fuels (fossil), transport fuels (biofuels).
- Note that energy categories are different to fuel groups, which are alternative groupings into which energy types are aggregated.

This tab provides different breakdowns of your organisation's weather-adjusted final energy consumption over time. Weather-adjustment is an adjustment to thermal energy consumption (including electricity used for heat) to account for variations in average temperature from year to year. The impact is to adjust downward thermal consumption for years that were colder than average and to adjust upward thermal consumption for years that were warmer than average. Adjustment factors are calculated for each year based on Met Éireann weather data.
For a more detailed explanation of weather adjustment, see ‘weather-adjusted final energy consumption’ in energy & CO2.
