Issue
The client is a leading U.S. renewable energy producer with significant West Coast market operations.
Carbon emissions reporting had outgrown a manual, two-team Excel process:
- Two separate user groups manually pulled data for multiple monthly and annual emissions reports.
- As reporting volume grew, the process became inefficient and error-prone.
- The manual approach limited the client's ability to optimize allowance costs and revenue contracts.
Solution
MidDel delivered an end-to-end automated emissions dashboard through a single dedicated resource:
- Covered requirements, development, testing, and deployment.
- Automated PCC1-PCC3 reporting with REC tag matching and multi-state electricity-importer reports for California, Oregon, and Washington.
- Automated Balancing Authority emissions positions and gross-margin tracking by asset.
Result
Automation saved hundreds of hours annually while enabling allowance-purchase and contract optimization the manual process could not support.
Real-time, asset-level emissions data supported a lower ACS rate, sharper sales strategy, and error detection - turning compliance reporting into a margin tool.
Key Takeaways
- Compliance reporting trapped in Excel caps the upside. Automating PCC1-PCC3 with REC tag matching and multi-state importer reports freed capacity for the allowance and contract optimization the manual process could never support.
- Regulatory granularity converts directly into commercial decisions. Asset-level, real-time emissions data is what enabled a lower ACS rate and gross-margin tracking by asset - turning a compliance obligation into pricing and dispatch insight for any producer facing rising emissions volume.
