Introduction
On this page, stakeholders can find information related to the development of ESRS for Power Production and Energy Utilities sector.
About the sector
The Power Production and Energy Utilities sector is comprised of undertakings that provide production, transmission, distribution, storage of and trade in electricity and related services. It also includes production, distribution, storage and trade of gas, as well the provision of steam and air-conditioning supply. All types of electric power producers are included, for example, utilities that generate from solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, biomass and thermal (coal, fuel oil and gas) fuels. It also includes production, distribution, storage and trade of gas, as well the provision of steam and air-conditioning supply. The sector includes undertakings that operate the transmission and distribution systems that convey electricity from generating plants to end users.
Combined heat and power (CHP) is also included, independently if the power and heat are provided exclusively to a nearby facility or to the grid. Provision of thermal energy through heat and steam for city dwellings and industry is also included. The sector also includes production of gas, such as biogas, from by-products of agriculture or from waste.
Production of clean hydrogen from electricity and renewable energy sources, as well as hydrogen, electricity and heat.storage are also included. Water and wastewater utilities as well as waste-related services are excluded from this sector. The sector also excludes the (typically long-distance) transport of the gas through pipelinesReach out
EFRAG is happy to engage with you and keep you updated about any developments. EFRAG has created Sector Communities which are constituted by stakeholders interested in the development of ESRS for any given sector. These stakeholders consist of preparers and preparer organisations, civil society members, social partners, investment partners or any other organisations with a particular interest in a specific sector. These communities act as experts which are consulted by the EFRAG Secretariat from time to time as needed.
If you have any questions on the implementation of the sector agnostic standards please log your question using this link.
No meetings currently scheduled, but any future meetings will be announced here accordingly.
