How much CO2 does an average business produce?
Based upon EDF Energy’s current generation mix, for every unit of energy that one of our business customers use we estimate the following amount of CO2 emissions are produced. Electricity =0.527kg/kWh Consequently, in a year, an average SME business on a standard electricity tariff consuming 10,740kWh of electricity will result in a total of 5.66 tonnes of CO2 emissions. If this SME business signed on to our Climate Balance tariff they would pay an additional annual contribution of 42.96 (exc. VAT) over our standard unit prices. This contribution would then be used to help fund projects to help balance the 5.66 tonnes of CO2 emissions associated with the annual electricity supply.
