Green Mountain Energy's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Green Mountain Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 214,195 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions, as there were no Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions reported. This marks a notable increase from 2021, when emissions were about 196,299 kg CO2e, also solely from Scope 1. Historically, the company has made significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint. For instance, in 2005, total emissions were recorded at approximately 5,000,000 kg CO2e, which included 1,403,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,403,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, alongside 4,209,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a substantial reduction in emissions over the years. Green Mountain Energy is a current subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc., which influences its climate commitments and reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Green Mountain Energy, nor are there any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. Overall, while Green Mountain Energy has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions, the lack of specific targets or initiatives suggests an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
