In 2023, North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of approximately 1.66 metric tonnes CO2e per million units of revenue, a significant reduction from about 2.02 metric tonnes CO2e per million units in 2022. This represents a reduction of about 17.86% in GHG emission intensity over the period from 2021 to 2023, indicating NEEPCO's commitment to improving its environmental performance. The emissions data disclosed does not specify absolute emissions figures for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3, as the organisation has not provided detailed emissions data in these categories. However, the reported emission intensity figures suggest a focus on reducing emissions associated with their operations. NEEPCO's initiatives reflect a near-term commitment to reducing GHG emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2, as evidenced by their achievements in emission intensity reduction. The organisation has not set specific Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets, nor does it appear to inherit emissions data from a parent company, indicating that their climate commitments are independently established. Overall, NEEPCO's efforts demonstrate a proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing their carbon footprint, aligning with industry standards for sustainability and environmental responsibility.
