EDP has set ambitious climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets cascaded from EDP, S.A. It aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040, using a 2020 base year. Near-term targets include reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 95% per MWh of generated electricity by 2030, and reducing Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity by 80% per MWh by 2030. Additionally, EDP commits to an absolute reduction of 45% in Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products and other Scope 3 emissions by 2030. For long-term goals, EDP targets a 96% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per MWh generated electricity by 2040, and a 95% reduction in Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity by 2040. Absolute Scope 3 emissions from use of sold products and other Scope 3 emissions are targeted for a 90% reduction by 2040. These targets are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
