GEORGIA POWER's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from The Southern Company

Georgia Power, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of The Southern Company, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. While Georgia Power has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that its climate strategy may be informed by broader commitments from its parent organisation, The Southern Company. This includes participation in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+, which aim to enhance transparency and accountability in corporate climate action. As of now, Georgia Power's climate commitments and emissions reduction strategies remain unspecified, reflecting a need for further disclosure to understand its impact on carbon emissions and climate change mitigation efforts.
