Work out your Timor-Leste electricity emissions
= 33.33 tonnes CO2e in 2024 (Scope 2 (location-based))
Each kWh × 0.667 kg CO2e, the 2024 grid average for Timor-Leste (Ember).
That is one line of your footprint. Want the whole thing done for you?

What Timor-Leste's electricity is made from
In 2024, Timor-Leste generated 0.5 TWh of electricity. 100% came from fossil fuels, which is what drives the factor up or down from year to year.

Worked example
Take an office in Timor-Leste using 50,000 kWh a year. 50,000 kWh × 0.667 kg CO2e = 33.3 tonnes CO2e, reported as Scope 2 (location-based).
How to report it
Multiply each site's electricity use in kWh, from its bills or meter readings, by the factor for the year. Report the result as location-based Scope 2. If the site buys renewable electricity backed by certificates recognised in Timor-Leste, you can also show a market-based figure, but keep the location-based one alongside it.
UK companies with a site, warehouse or office here should use this factor for that site, not the UK grid factor. From April 2027, NHS suppliers on contracts over £5 million must report their global footprint, so overseas sites can no longer be left out. For your UK sites, use the UK government grid electricity factor.
In Carbon Recycling, set the site's country to Timor-Leste and its electricity is reported with this factor automatically, while your UK sites stay on the UK government factor.
