Didcot Office sits in a High baseline water-stress catchment (BWS 3.39/5) while its Scope 2 footprint tracks a UK grid already mid-decarbonisation and set to steepen sharply by 2030.
As an office asset, Didcot's dominant dependency is grid electricity and its dominant impact is Scope 2 GHG, currently priced against a GB grid intensity of 217.41 gCO2/kWh (2025, Ember). Physical pressure is concentrated on water: the site falls in the North Sea watershed (ex 605, 629, 633, 634, 638) with a High (40-80%) baseline water stress label (score 3.38) and an elevated drought score of 3.31, though overall composite risk is labelled Low (score 0.64) with negligible coastal flood exposure (0) and modest riverine flood exposure (1.03). Water depletion (1.30) and untreated wastewater (0.16) scores are both low, consistent with a non-industrial office footprint with no significant water withdrawal dependency.
By 2030, the GB grid emissions factor is projected at 100 gCO2/kWh under IEA WEO 2024 STEPS — under half today's observed intensity — directly compressing Scope 2 exposure for this office without any operational change required on-site. Water-related forward horizons (2030 WS/WD scores and labels) are not populated in this dataset, so no directional read is available on whether the High baseline stress classification intensifies or eases; this is a data gap analysts should flag rather than assume stability.
