REDUCING OUR CARBON INTENSITY

2030
Portfolio generation carbon intensity aligned with a "well below 2°C" scenario.

Based on the growth of renewable energy and the viability of multiple possible asset scenarios. Sectoral Decarbonization Approach (SDA) target for power generation of 0.16 tCO2e/MWh, using the 2016 baseline and the portfolios modeled for 2030 as a reference.

(Achieved through asset sales, fuel conversion, and retirement of operations, while maintaining reliability and affordability, and subject to necessary approvals)

2040
Net-zero carbon emissions from electricity sales.

Actions assume new policies that facilitate transition to low emissions energy systems, such as a price on carbon. Includes scope 1 and 2 emissions.

2050
Net-zero carbon emissions from entire business portfolio.

Actions assume new policies that facilitate transition to low emissions energy systems, such as a price on carbon. Includes scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
