Idaho Power's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Idaho Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5.53 million tonnes CO2e, comprising 4 million tonnes from Scope 1 emissions and 1.5 million tonnes from Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were about 5.53 million tonnes CO2e, which included significant contributions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commuting. Over recent years, Idaho Power has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of around 4.84 million tonnes CO2e, indicating a slight increase in emissions from 2021, which were approximately 4.25 million tonnes CO2e. The emissions intensity for electricity generation has also shown variability, with a reported intensity of about 160.63 gCO2e/kWh in 2023. Despite these figures, Idaho Power has not publicly outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of formal reduction commitments suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for significant long-term reductions. Overall, Idaho Power's emissions data reflects ongoing challenges in managing carbon outputs while navigating the complexities of energy production and consumption.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.

Idaho Power is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
