Energy coming from a off-site own renewable source

Our project involves a production plant for pasta and support facilities in Santiago, Chile. Process loads exceed regulated loads, in consequence it is anticipated that process energy efficiency improvements will comprise the majority of energy savings for the project. In addition, the company owns a third of a 5 MW low impact renewable energy plant –a small run-off-the-River hydropower plant which will deliver 1.6 MW to our project. The river is nearby but the plant is off the site for a couple of miles. The plant will deliver renewable energy for approximately a 26% of the energy our project needs. This power comes through a dedicated line, directly to our project were it is used to offset the grid power. We have considered the possibility of On-Site renewable energy since the online form has an off-site/backup option. But we hesitate because the renewable source is far from the site because the river does not pass close to the site. However we think that this feature meets the intention of the credit which is the use of self-supply renewable energy to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with fossil fuel energy use. The main issue, in any case, on with we are most interested is in the synergy with the EAp2 Minimum Energy Performance because we are effectively reducing environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use; this would really help our energy intensive project to comply with this prerequisite. Is it possible to account this energy on the energy model as energy savings?
