This help page describes the M&R data input screen for public bodies called ‘Choose energy types’. Use this screen to select the energy types that your organisation uses or has used.
- The list on the left shows the ‘Energy types used by your organisation’. This/these are the energy types that you have previously identified as being in use by your organisation. It may include energy type(s) that were previously used, but are no longer in use.
- The list on the right shows the ‘Other energy types’ that are available for selection.
- Both lists of energy types are bundled into groups of similar types.
- If you are using the same energy type(s) since you last reported, all you need to do is check that your data is correct and click ‘Save & continue’.
- Select an energy type from the list on the right-hand side by clicking the box adjacent to the energy type. Once an energy type has been selected, it remains selected for future years.
- You can add new energy types at any time, to account for new energy supplies that your organisation started using recently.
- Deselect an energy type from the list on the left-hand side by clicking on a red 'x' symbol.
- A description of all the energy types is available here.
The following is a summary. For a full description, see electricity consumption and MPRNs & GPRNs.
- If you want SEAI to access electricity consumption data for your electricity connections directly from the electricity network meter operator (ESB Networks), select ‘MPRN electricity’.
- If you (also) want to manually enter consumption data for electricity consumption, select one or more of the other energy types under ‘Electricity’.
The following is a summary. For a full description, see ‘natural gas’ in thermal consumption, and MPRNs & GPRNs.
- If you want SEAI to access natural gas consumption data for your natural gas connections directly from the gas network meter operator (Gas Networks Ireland), select ‘GPRN natural gas’.
- If you (also) want to manually enter consumption data for natural gas consumption, select ‘Non-GPRN natural gas’.
- At least one energy type must be selected.
- You must include all energy type(s) that your organisation has used since the start of your energy efficiency baseline, including those that are no longer in use, e.g. if your organisation used kerosene between 2009-2021, but stopped using it in 2021, kerosene should be selected.
- Only deselect an energy type if your organisation never used that energy type. If your organisation previously used an energy type that has been phased out, it should remain as a selected energy type.
- This screen is visible to all users.
- If ‘MPRN electricity’ is selected, use input screen MPRNs (electricity) to add, review, validate, upload and download MPRNs.
- If ‘GPRN natural gas’ is selected, use input screen GPRNs (gas) to add, review, validate, upload and download GPRNs.
- For all other energy types selected, use input screen energy use to self-report annual values for energy consumption.
