For its entire business, CMS Energy has pledged to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As an interim step towards its net zero goals, the company plans to partner with customers to reduce their emissions by 20% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline. Additionally, their Clean Energy Plan aims to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by about 60% from 2005 levels by the end of 2026. The company also has a long-term target to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by about 80% from 2005 levels by 2040.
