Long Island Power Authority's reported carbon emissions
As of 2020, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) reported greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 0.23 kg CO2e per dollar of gross regional product. This figure indicates a slight improvement from 2010, when emissions were about 0.27 kg CO2e per dollar of gross regional product. However, specific total emissions data in kg CO2e for these years is not disclosed. LIPA has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they disclosed any Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data. The absence of defined climate pledges or reduction initiatives suggests that while LIPA is aware of its emissions profile, it may not have formalised strategies for significant reductions at this time. In summary, while LIPA shows a trend towards lower emissions intensity relative to revenue, further transparency regarding total emissions and concrete climate commitments would enhance their accountability and effectiveness in addressing climate change.
