Idaho Power's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Idaho Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,530,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,500,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 5,530,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Idaho Power has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions, with a notable decrease from about 7,274,162,000 kg CO2e in 2005 to 4,247,120,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Idaho Power's emissions intensity has also varied, with a reported intensity of approximately 160.63 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023, down from 178.96 kg CO2e per MWh in 2022. This suggests ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of their electricity generation. Overall, while Idaho Power has made strides in reducing emissions over the years, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights the need for a more structured approach to climate commitments moving forward.
