DitchCarbon launches electricity module for Scope 3 procurement teams

DitchCarbon on November 10, 2026, launched a new Electricity module for large organisations using its Scope 3 platform. The tool is designed to show procurement teams which tier 1 suppliers offer the biggest emissions cuts by switching electricity, without supplier surveys.

Why it matters: - Procurement teams at large organisations often know they need to cut Scope 3 emissions but cannot easily see which suppliers to tackle first. - DitchCarbon’s new module is designed to identify the tier 1 suppliers where switching electricity could reduce procurement emissions fastest. - The module is built to reduce time spent on supplier data collection and redirect effort toward purchasing decisions and reduction plans.

What happened: - DitchCarbon launched its Electricity module on November 10, 2026, for its Scope 3 emissions platform. - The module is live for DitchCarbon Action Enterprise customers. - Other DitchCarbon customers can see the module in their projects and ask the team to switch it on. - Organisations new to DitchCarbon can request a walkthrough at more information.

The details: - DitchCarbon says the module reads published reports from every supplier, allocates each supplier’s electricity to the buyer’s purchases, and models the rest from industry and grid data. - Every purchase row is covered at the best granularity available, so the suppliers with the biggest impact show up before any request goes out. - The platform labels each figure as disclosed, derived or assumed. - Disclosed figures are supplier-specific primary data and link to the report page they came from. - Derived figures show their formula. - Assumed figures are modelled from industry and grid data. - The Energy map places supplier electricity on a map by grid region and ranks suppliers by dirty megawatt-hours and electricity emissions. - Each supplier view shows whether the supplier is ahead of or behind its local grid and suggests the next step to ask for. - The possible next steps include disclosing data, buying energy attribute certificates or a power purchase agreement, or serving as an example for the wider supply base. - The Energy tab on each organisation profile shows total electricity, renewable share and low-carbon share by year. - The Energy tab also includes a one-click source document link and regional breakdowns where the supplier publishes them. - The electricity campaign in Engage sends selected suppliers a request to disclose electricity data or raise renewable share, prepopulated from what DitchCarbon already holds. - A supplier can claim its profile for free, see which years and regions are missing, and upload a report to complete it. - The supplier can keep what it shares private to the buyer that asked.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a push to make electricity one of the quickest supplier-side decarbonisation levers available to procurement teams. - Most supplier decarbonisation options take years and capital spending, while switching to renewable electricity can happen within a year through tariffs, energy attribute certificates or power purchase agreements. - The product addresses a common data gap: many companies buy clean electricity for their own operations, but lack visibility into which suppliers to ask. - Alex Rudnicki, DitchCarbon’s head of product, said the missing piece has been data and that the module lets procurement teams size the opportunity across every purchase row before making requests.

What's next: - Procurement teams using the module can focus first on the suppliers where electricity changes would move emissions most. - DitchCarbon says teams can use the tool to start supplier conversations, guide purchasing choices and build reduction plans without reading reports one by one. - New users can request a walkthrough, and the company points to its methodology page for more detail on how the module works.

The bottom line: - DitchCarbon is betting that better supplier electricity visibility will help procurement teams move faster on Scope 3 cuts with less manual work.
