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 reflects a slight decrease 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 not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Capital Power's emissions data is sourced directly from the organisation itself, with no cascaded data from a parent company. The company has demonstrated a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes, although it has not set formal reduction targets. The reported GHG intensity for electricity generation has shown a gradual improvement, with values of 410.0 kg CO2e/MWh in 2024, 470.0 kg CO2e/MWh in 2023, and 500.0 kg CO2e/MWh in 2022. Overall, while Capital Power has made strides in emissions reporting and intensity reduction, the absence of formal reduction targets indicates an area for potential growth in their climate commitments.
