GHG Protocol Scope 2 Revisions
Why the Scope 2 Changes Matter
What Corporates Need to Know
Between October 2025 and January 2026, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol consulted on potential updates to its Scope 2 guidance, including the introduction of hourly matching and new market boundary requirements. If implemented, these changes could significantly affect how corporates report renewable electricity consumption and how existing procurement strategies perform.
As the consultation evolves, many organizations are beginning to assess how these potential changes could affect their electricity sourcing strategies, reporting frameworks, claims around renewable electricity use and long-term decarbonization plans.
This page brings together the latest insights, research and discussions from STRIVE by STX to help corporates stay informed and prepare for possible developments.
