Edmundston draws from the New Brunswick grid, so its electricity carbon intensity reflects that grid. At about 330 grams of CO2e per kilowatt-hour (2022), electricity here carries a middling carbon intensity. Both electricity and fuel reductions move the number, which makes accurate, commodity-by-commodity data the difference between a defensible emissions figure and a guess.

Utility bill audit in Edmundston
Utility bills carry errors more often than most teams expect. Independent figures put billing mistakes at 2.5 to 10 percent of spend and estimate that 15 to 20 percent of invoices contain errors. A bill audit in Edmundston means checking rate classes, demand charges, tax treatment, and meter mapping against what the tariff and the meter actually say, then recovering what was overpaid.
Reporting and compliance in New Brunswick
No provincial mandatory building energy benchmarking or disclosure requirement is in force.

What is the grid carbon intensity in Edmundston?
Grid electricity in Edmundston, which sits on the New Brunswick grid, is about 330 grams of CO2e per kilowatt-hour (2022). MartinAI pairs your validated consumption with the right local emission factor so your Scope 2 numbers are accurate.
Do you help with energy reporting rules in New Brunswick?
No provincial mandatory building energy benchmarking or disclosure requirement is in force. Reporting is voluntary through NRCan's ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, while federal direction comes from the Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards (CSDS) issued by the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board and OSFI's Guideline B-15 for federally regulated financial institutions. MartinAI produces the clean, traceable data those reports depend on.
How is this different from reading bills by hand?
Manual entry is slow and error prone, and the errors flow straight into your cost and emissions numbers. MartinAI reads and validates automatically, flags anomalies, and keeps every figure traceable back to the source bill, so the data holds up under an audit.
