This help page describes the data report for public bodies called ‘Energy targets - detailed data'. This report shows detailed tabular data on your organisation's energy consumption and energy performance over time, and its progress towards the energy targets.
- This report comprises a header and a series of data tables that are grouped in multiple report tabs and sub-tabs.
- Name of your organisation and its PSO ID.
- '2030 EE target' indicates your organisation's 2030 energy efficiency target and its energy efficiency baseline period.
- ‘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 a breakdown of your organisation's energy consumption over time.
- This table shows your final energy consumption in each year, broken down by energy type, and aggregated into subtotals and totals. Final energy consumption or total final consumption (TFC) is the actual energy supplied to your organisation. In simple terms, the quantities shown should correspond to the quantities of energy that your organisation actually pays for. Final energy does not include any of the additional energy that is used outside your organisation in order to generate the energy that your organisation uses, or to distribute or transport that energy to your organisation.
- The table shows data for every year from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year.
- The table shows all consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) on a net calorific value basis. Note that natural gas is billed in kWh on a gross calorific value basis, which is a different unit.
For a more detailed explanation of how your final energy consumption is calculated, see ‘final energy consumption’ in energy & CO2.
- This table shows your weather-adjusted final energy consumption in each year, broken down by energy type, and aggregated into subtotals and totals. Weather adjustment refers to a calculation applied to your organisation's consumption of energy for heating to account for variations in weather from year to year.
- The table shows data for every year from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year.
For a more detailed explanation of weather adjustment, see ‘weather-adjusted final energy consumption’ in energy & CO2.
- This table shows your primary energy consumption in each year, broken down by energy type, and aggregated into subtotals and totals. Primary energy or total primary energy requirement (TPER) accounts for any additional energy that is consumed outside your organisation in order to generate and distribute the energy to your organisation. It is calculated by applying primary energy conversion factors, which vary by fuel type.
- The table shows data for every year from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year.
For a more detailed explanation of primary energy, see ‘primary energy requirement’ in energy & CO2.
This tab provides details of your organisation's activity levels over time.
- This table shows the values reported by you for different activities and activity levels, including full-time equivalent employees and floor area, for each year.
- It shows all the data reported for years from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year.
- This table shows the activity metric(s) used to calculate your organisation's energy performance.
- If your organisation uses a composite activity metric, the table shows values for each sub-activity and the associated weighting.
- If your organisation uses more than one activity metric period, the activity metrics used for the different periods are shown in separate sections of the table.
- It shows all activity metric values for years from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year.
For an explanation of composite activity metrics and activity metric periods, see activity metrics.
This tab provides details on your organisation's energy performance to date, including its progress towards the 2030 energy efficiency target.
- This table shows the EnPI (energy performance indicator) used to calculate your organisation's energy performance and its progress towards the 2030 energy efficiency target.
- The table shows your actual EnPI and your normalised EnPI.
- The last row in the table shows a normalised EnPI from the start of your energy efficiency baseline period to the reporting year. It is 100 at your energy efficiency baseline and the values for subsequent years are expressed relative to this baseline value.
- If your organisation uses more than one activity metric period, the EnPIs used for the different periods are shown in separate sections of the table.
- The table shows all EnPIs for years from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year.
For an explanation of EnPIs and normalised EnPIs, see ‘Energy performance indicator (EnPI)’ in 2030 energy efficiency target.
- This table shows your organisation's progress to date towards the 2030 energy efficiency target.
- Row 1 ‘Normalised EnPI’ shows your energy performance indicator (EnPI), expressed on a normalised basis. If the normalised EnPI is lower than the value shown for the same year in row 2, your organisation is broadly on track to achieve its energy efficiency target. And vice versa.
- Row 2 ‘2030 target & trajectory (normalised EnPI)’ is a calculated trajectory for your normalised EnPI, from your energy efficiency baseline to your 2030 target. This trajectory is based on a constant improvement in energy performance from baseline to 2030. To see the 2030 target and the trajectory all the way to 2030, you need to specify the period to 2030 using the ‘period' boxes above the report header.
- Row 3 ‘Change in EnPI since EE baseline’ is the indicator used to track your progress towards the energy efficiency (EE) target. Negative values indicate an improvement in efficiency since baseline, and vice versa.
- Row 4 shows the ‘Gap to 2030 target’. Positive values indicate percentage-point gap to the 2030 energy efficiency target.
- Row 5 shows the ‘Improvement required to reach 2030 target’. Positive values indicate additional reduction in EnPI required to reach the 2030 energy efficiency target.
- The table shows all the data reported for relevant years from the start of your energy efficiency baseline to the most recent reporting year. It also shows the trajectory to the target for all years to 2030.
For an explanation of how your organisation's progress towards the 2030 energy efficiency target is calculated, see 2030 energy efficiency target.

This tab presents future scenarios for your organisation's energy performance - business as usual (BAU) and with planned projects (WPP).
- This table shows a future ‘business as usual’ scenario for your organisation with respect to the energy efficiency target, for the years between the last year for which data was reported (the reporting year) and 2030. It also shows your progress to date towards the target.
- The BAU scenario assumes that: (1) your final energy consumption remains constant between the reporting year and 2030; (2) your activity levels remain constant between the reporting year and 2030; (3) the primary energy conversion factor for grid electricity changes in line with SEAI forecasts to 2030. These forecasts incorporate several variables and assumptions, and are refined periodically.
