Microgeneration

Purpose of this module

The Microgeneration module within NZC Portal is designed to support operating companies in monitoring and managing on-site renewable energy generation across sites and operations.

The module provides clear visibility of generation performance, self-consumption, and contribution to carbon and cost reduction.

What this module supports

This module enables users to:

• Monitor on-site renewable energy generation performance
• Understand self-consumption and export of generated energy
• Quantify carbon savings from on-site generation
• Compare renewable performance across sites and operations

Key inputs

The module typically draws on:

• Generation data from solar PV and other on-site renewable systems
• Energy consumption data for self-consumption analysis
• System and site characteristics such as capacity and commissioning date
• Tariff and configuration data where relevant

Inputs can be integrated, uploaded, or managed manually depending on system setups.

Key outputs

The module produces clear, decision-ready outputs, including:

• Site and organisation-level generation dashboards
• Self-consumption and export summaries
• Carbon and cost offset metrics
• Performance comparisons across sites
• Exportable summaries for reporting and governance purposes

Outputs can be generated at system, site, or organisational level.

How this module is used in practice

Typical use cases include:

• Monitoring performance of installed renewable systems
• Demonstrating contribution to Net Zero and energy targets
• Supporting investment decisions for on-site generation
• Reporting renewable performance to internal and external stakeholders

How this module fits within NZC Portal

The Microgeneration module integrates with energy management, carbon reporting, and Scope 3 modules within NZC Portal.

This ensures:

• Alignment between generation performance and emissions reporting
• Consistent treatment of renewable energy across disclosures
• Clear traceability from generation data to reported outcomes
