El Paso Electric Company's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, El Paso Electric Company reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,871,032,000 kg CO2e. The emissions breakdown includes about 4,268,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 19,650,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions, and 2,760,6000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 2,675,386,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions contributing approximately 2,610,637,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 2,901,627,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, El Paso Electric has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions, with significant reductions noted from 2015, when total emissions were about 2,704,135,000 kg CO2e, to 2023. However, specific reduction targets or commitments have not been disclosed, indicating a lack of formalised climate pledges or science-based targets. The company has reported emissions across all three scopes, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions primarily from their owned generation and operational activities. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while El Paso Electric is tracking its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
