Capital Power's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Capital Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,400,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 40,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 4,040,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This marks a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from 18,751,151,000 kg CO2e in 2023 and 18,112,740,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. Capital Power has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent organisations. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, while Capital Power's emissions figures indicate significant operational output, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate action framework.
