In 2023, Capital Power reported carbon emissions of approximately 18,751,151,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1 (18,751,151,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (32,883,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (2,589,787,000 kg CO2e). The company has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, achieving a significant reduction in GHG intensity to about 470 kg CO2e per MWh of electricity generated.
