create account style for natural gas bundled EACs

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We pay a green tariff for some of our electricity and natural gas utilities but there is only an account style for bundled EACs for electricity and not for natural gas. Could you please create an account style for bundled EACs for natural gas?

    Hi @Guest - a new account style has been created for Renewable Natural Gas coming from Arcadia. Once you have updated any existing accounts to this account style you will need to:

    1. rename the account suffix from "..._NG" to "..._RNG"

    2. Recompile monthly data for each account

    As per renewable electricity accounts, please also update the CNBD1 field in Arcadia to "renewable" for the above accounts.

    Please reach out to our support team should you run into any issues.

    Yes--this would be a separate account style. Could one be created that allows for zero emissions for natural gas?

    Hi @Guest , The account style we have to capture the EAC related to your green electricity tariff is required for Scope 2 Market-based reporting. This wouldn't apply to natural gas since it's a Scope 1 source. Are you simply asking for a separate account style to be created to help differentiate between natural gas account types?
