Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.
Included when supported
Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.
- 01Criterion
Operators of Natural Gas-Fired Power Plants
Defined as: Companies owning or operating facilities that generate electricity primarily through the combustion of natural gas or LNG.
- 02Criterion
Combined-Cycle and Open-Cycle Gas Turbine Operators
Defined as: Entities operating combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT), open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT), or peaking gas-fired generation facilities.
- 03Criterion
Utilities With Gas-Fired Generation Assets
Defined as: Electric utilities or independent power producers maintaining gas-fired generating capacity within their energy portfolio.
- 04Criterion
Integrated Energy Companies With Gas-Based Power Operations
Defined as: Diversified energy firms engaged in electricity generation using natural gas alongside other energy sources.
- 05Criterion
Developers or Owners of Gas-Fired Generation Infrastructure
Defined as: Companies involved in constructing, expanding, refurbishing, or owning gas-fired power stations.
- 06Criterion
Include captive or industrial gas-fired generation only where natural gas is regularly used to generate electricity and the activity meets the applicable client-policy materiality rule.
Excluded on this basis alone
These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.
- 01Criterion
Natural Gas Exploration, Processing, or Distribution Companies Without Power Generation Activity
Defined as: Companies involved in upstream or midstream natural gas operations that do not generate electricity from gas-fired assets.
- 02Criterion
Coal-Fired or Oil-Fired Power Generation Without Material Gas Generation
Defined as: Utilities or generators using other fossil fuels without natural gas-fired electricity generation operations.
- 03Criterion
Renewable Energy or Nuclear Power Producers
Defined as: Companies generating electricity exclusively from renewable, hydroelectric, or nuclear sources.
- 04Criterion
Exclude emergency, standby, black-start, or short-duration backup generators whose gas use is incidental under the applicable policy threshold.
- 05Criterion
Equipment Manufacturers or Engineering Contractors
Defined as: Firms supplying turbines, maintenance, or engineering services without ownership or operation of gas-fired power plants.
- 06Criterion
Companies With Fully Retired or Decommissioned Gas-Fired Assets
Defined as: Entities that have permanently ceased gas-fired electricity generation operations.
