Metrics and targets

E1-4 – Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation

Effective climate change mitigation policies require specific targets and target values as they serve as clear points of reference and provide the basis for measurable progress. This facilitates transparent tracking and is intended to strengthen the trust of both stakeholders and potential stakeholders as well as the support of political actors for the implementation of climate change mitigation policies. The company is continually working on careful and scientifically sound data collection to be able to fulfil the disclosure requirements for specific emission reduction targets in accordance with ESRS E1-4 in the best possible way. The decarbonisation levers of the respective targets and actions will also be published in the following fiscal years.

Target values:

  • 40% electric cars in the company vehicle fleet by 2024 (excl. Czech Republic and Waste Management Segments)
  • >1.0 TWh additional electricity generation from renewables by 2035
  • 80% sustainable heat generation by 2030 (Erzeugung GmbH excl. CMOÖ)
  • 390 GWh heat extraction from the WAV by 2030

The values for the 2023/2024 fiscal year were taken from direct measurements or billing statements. If these were not available, estimates were made for each entity and plant as follows:

In general: The gross calorific value was disclosed for natural gas. This was converted to the net calorific value using the factor 1.11. Neither the use of air-conditioning and cooling systems nor the consumption of cooling agent have been included in the 2023/2024 fiscal year. The scope of reporting has changed compared to the 2022/2023 fiscal year due to ESRS requirements. The business units Trading GmbH, Services und Digital Solutions GmbH were fully included in 2023/2024, while the Timelkam CCGT plant was included at 70% and Ennskraftwerke AG at 38%. Companies that are not under Energie AG’s operational control according to the ESRS definition are no longer included in the 2023/2024 report. Energie AG Oberösterreich Bohemia GmbH (Bohemia GmbH): Some electricity, heat, natural gas and heating oil values were not yet available for September 2024. Estimates were made based on the previous month/year. The Czech fuel mix was used for the specific allocation of electricity to fossil, renewable and nuclear. Erzeugung GmbH: The diesel, biomass and heat values used were partially estimates based on the previous month/year. Consumption of heating oil, natural gas, electricity and heat are partially based on calculations (by the IfEA or by subtracting net from gross or delivery from generation). Energie AG Oberösterreich Personalmanagement GmbH (Personalmanagement GmbH): No values were available for the 2024 calendar year at the time of writing and estimates were used on the basis of the previous year. Services und Digital Solutions GmbH: Disclosures on electricity generation from the company’s own PV systems are estimates based on the previous month/year. Estimates based on the previous year were partly made for heating oil, natural gas, heat and electricity. District heating in Haid was put into operation in the 2023/2024 fiscal year, which is why no values are yet available. Südtirol Umwelt Service GmbH: Electricity consumption in the office and community space were estimated based on the previous year. Umwelt Service GmbH: No values were available for the 2024 calendar year at the time of writing, which is why the values from the 2023 calendar year were used for the entire company. Heat values were in part taken from the landlord’s billing statement. The values for the waste incineration plant in Wels were taken from the energy efficiency expert opinion or the Bioma report. Vertrieb GmbH: The consumption of heating oil, natural gas, heat and electricity was in part calculated by subtracting delivery from input. WDL GmbH: Average values from the previous year were used for diesel and electricity.

The values for gas grid losses are recorded monthly and then added together to produce a total for the fiscal year. In the calculation for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, one month too many was included. This value has now been updated.


Definition of electricity grid losses/gas grid losses: Within the electricity grid, the technical term grid losses refers to those energy volumes that are used for the operation of the electricity grid (transforming voltage, operating central control systems). Gas grid losses include those volumes of transported gas that can leak from parts of the grid during maintenance and repair work.

E1-6 – Gross Scope 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions

Greenhouse gas balance

The values for the 2023/2024 fiscal year come from direct measurements, from environmental statements, or were calculated from the energy balance using conversion factors. The estimates listed under “energy consumption and energy mix” therefore also apply for the greenhouse gas emissions. The market-based approach was based on the Vertrieb GmbH generation mix and the CO2 values stated on the invoices. Where no market-based values were available, the location-based value was used. For electricity, the location-based approach was based on the generation mix of Austria, the Czech Republic or Italy. In the case of district heating, the Austrian conversion factor was used for the Czech Republic. The emissions through grid losses were corrected for the previous year. The market factor 0 t CO2eq/MWh is not applicable in this case, which is why the location-based value was also used. The emissions values for recycling lines (Umwelt Service GmbH) come from continual measurements. The ratio of fossil fuels to biogenic fuels was taken from the Bioma report.

The scope of reporting has changed compared to the 2022/2023 fiscal year due to ESRS requirements. The business units Trading GmbH, Services und Digital Solutions GmbH were fully included in Scope 1 and Scope 2 in 2023/2024, while the Timelkam CCGT plant was included at 70% and Ennskraftwerke AG at 38%. Companies that are not under Energie AG’s operational control according to the ESRS definition are no longer included in Scope 1 and Scope 2 in the 2023/2024 report.

Work is ongoing on the assessment of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Once this has been completed, the results will be published.
