Carbon emissions intensity is a measure of the pounds of CO₂ emitted per megawatt-hour (MWh) of energy generated. It’s a helpful measure for tracking the impact of our efforts to reduce carbon emissions relative to growing power demand — one that we’ve measured and actively reduced since 2010.

• We started with a goal to reduce emissions intensity 10-15% from 2005 levels (our baseline year).
• We then increased it to 15-20% for the period of 2010-2020.
• We are working to reduce emissions intensity 35% for the period 2021-2025 from 2005 levels.

我们的平均CO₂ emissions intensity for 2021 and 2022 from hg8868皇冠下载-owned generation sources was 886 pounds per MWh (837 and 935 pounds per MWh, respectively) — representing a 25% reduction from 2005.

我们的 2022 carbon emissions intensity of our total 能源结构 was 779 pounds per MWh, a 35% reduction from 2005.

The following chart/table shows our emissions intensity reduction from hg8868皇冠下载 generation sources over the past two decades.

hg8868皇冠下载 is a joint owner of two operating coal plants. With upcoming anticipated coal plant retirements, and the addition of renewable energy resources, we are poised to see impressive 减少 in both our total carbon emissions and emission intensity in the next 10 years.

• • 俄勒冈州的博德曼工厂, co-owned by hg8868皇冠下载 (10%) and Portland General Electric (90%), ceased coal-fired operations in October 2020.
  • The North Valmy plant in Nevada includes two generating units, which are co-owned by hg8868皇冠下载 and NV 能源. hg8868皇冠下载 ended its participation in North Valmy unit 1 in 2019 and has an agreement to exit unit 2 by 2025. Both companies own 50% of the plant; NV 能源 is the operating partner.
  • The Jim Bridger plant in Wyoming is owned by hg8868皇冠下载 (one-third) and PacifiCorp (two-thirds). 根据我们的2021年综合资源计划, hg8868皇冠下载 is scheduled to exit all four Bridger coal units by the end of 2028, with two Bridger units planned for conversion to natural gas by 2024.

CO₂ Emissions 减少报告

hg8868皇冠下载 has been a leader in clean energy generation for over 100 years. Today, more than half of our 能源结构 comes from CO₂ emissions-free resources, including hg8868皇冠下载-owned hydro resources and the energy we buy through long-term contracts with wind, 太阳能, 生物质, 地热和小型水力发电机. In addition to our current low-carbon profile, 皇冠现金盘公司已经建立了短期, medium-term and long-term targets for further CO₂ 减少. 爱达荷州权力的 CO₂ 减少报告 outlines our carbon reduction goals in more detail.
