Idaho Power's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Idaho Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 4,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 5,530,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from purchased goods and services (1,500,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (30,000 kg CO2e), and business travel (20,000 kg CO2e). Idaho Power's emissions intensity for electricity generation was approximately 335.20 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023, reflecting a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. However, the company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, IDACORP, Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. Idaho Power's emissions data from previous years shows a trend of significant emissions, with Scope 1 emissions at 4,401,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 4,282,000 kg CO2e in 2021, highlighting the need for ongoing efforts in emissions reduction. Overall, while Idaho Power has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments in alignment with industry standards.
