Alberta Electric System Operator's reported carbon emissions

The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), headquartered in Canada, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the organisation. As a result, AESO's climate commitments and initiatives remain unclear, and there is no inherited emissions data from a parent company or related organisation. Without specific emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is challenging to assess their environmental impact or progress towards sustainability goals. In the context of the energy sector, it is essential for organisations like AESO to establish clear climate commitments and reduction targets to align with industry standards and contribute to global efforts in mitigating climate change.
