Historically, their emissions have varied significantly, with Scope 3 emissions peaking at about 136,966,000 kg CO2e in 2001. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions sources, which are critical for understanding their overall carbon footprint. Green Mountain Energy's commitment to reducing carbon emissions is evident, but specific strategies or targets for future reductions have not been outlined. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for clearer climate commitments moving forward.
