In 2022, Okinawa Electric Power reported a CO2 emission intensity of approximately 0.00071 kg CO2e per kWh of electricity produced. This figure reflects the company's ongoing efforts to monitor and manage its carbon footprint, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. In 2021, the company recorded a retail CO2 emission intensity of about 0.000327 kg CO2e per kWh, showing a slight increase from the 2020 figure of approximately 0.000304 kg CO2e per kWh. These values indicate a focus on reducing emissions intensity, although no formal reduction targets or climate pledges have been established or reported. Okinawa Electric Power does not inherit emissions data from any parent company, and all reported figures are sourced directly from the company itself. The absence of specific reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive climate strategy.
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.
Okinawa Electric Power is not participating in any of the initiatives that 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.
