Avista's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Avista Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,326,369,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,035,164,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 1,291,205,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, Avista's total emissions were about 3,579,190,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,458,675,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at 1,120,515,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Avista has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent company. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Avista is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions in line with industry standards. Overall, Avista's emissions data reflects its operational impact on climate change, highlighting the need for ongoing assessment and potential commitment to reduction strategies in the future.
