Florida Electricity Emission Factor 2023

EPA eGRID2023 Rev2 · 2 eGRID subregions

Power plants in Florida emitted 789.1 lb CO2e per MWh generated in 2023 (0.3579 kg/kWh), 2% dirtier than the US average, according to EPA's eGRID2023 state rate. Their generation was 18% carbon-free and 7% renewable. For GHG Protocol Scope 2 location-based reporting, use the eGRID subregion factor of each facility's ZIP (below), not the state rate: power flows across state lines within a subregion.

Using the FRCC subregion factor (784.785 lb CO2e/MWh = 0.3560 kg/kWh), which covers 94% of Florida's ZIP codes; for other parts of the state look up the ZIP. Source: EPA eGRID2023.

How to Use Florida's Emission Factor for Scope 2 Reporting

For GHG Protocol Scope 2 location-based emissions reporting, multiply each facility's electricity consumption by the emission factor for its ZIP code's eGRID subregion. Facilities in different parts of Florida are in different subregions - use the API to get the exact factor by ZIP code.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Florida's electricity emission factor?

For Scope 2 reporting, it depends on the ZIP: Florida's ZIP codes are in FRCC (784.785 lb CO2e/MWh, 94% of ZIPs), SRSO (846.007 lb CO2e/MWh, 6% of ZIPs). EPA's state rate for plants in Florida is 789.1 lb CO2e/MWh, 2% dirtier than the US average.

How do I calculate Scope 2 emissions for a Florida facility?

Multiply the facility's annual kWh by the kg/kWh factor of its ZIP code's eGRID subregion to get kg CO2e, and divide by 1,000 for metric tonnes. The emission factors API returns the factor for any ZIP.

How clean is Florida's electricity grid?

Power plants in Florida generated 18% carbon-free and 7% renewable electricity in 2023. At 789 lb CO2e/MWh, the state rate is 2% dirtier than the US average of 770.9 lb/MWh.
