Comparative figures for impacts from 2021 and 2020
The attribution values were redetermined for 2021 using a revised method, which is explained in the Impact Analysis Accountability document included with this annual report. For comparison purposes the 2020 impacts have been restated using the 2021 attribution values.
Until now, the definitions of transmitted energy and distributed energy have been the same. However, we transmit more electricity and gas over our networks than we distribute directly to our customers. This difference is due to energy sent over the border to other network operators, network losses, etc. For this reason, the transmitted volumes and distributed volumes are now calculated separately. Because distributed energy is data to be fed into the impact model, as a result of this change in definition there is a break in the trend for the value of gas and electricity transmission under manufactured capital and for the climate change indicator for natural capital, meaning a direct comparison of these figures with those from previous years is not possible.
