The company has also reported GHG emissions intensity metrics, with a notable intensity of 131.0 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023, down from 200.0 kg CO2e per MWh in 2022. This trend suggests an ongoing effort to improve efficiency and reduce emissions per unit of electricity generated. Overall, while Northland Power has made strides in emissions reporting and intensity reduction, further clarity on specific reduction targets would enhance their climate commitment narrative.
