Pinnacle West Capital's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Pinnacle West Capital reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,665,061,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, with Scope 2 emissions at about 91,739,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. In 2021, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 11,329,468,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 112,162,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a focus on managing emissions, particularly in Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Pinnacle West Capital's carbon intensity from owned generation was reported at approximately 418.21 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023, reflecting ongoing efforts to monitor and potentially reduce emissions associated with electricity generation. However, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments suggests that while the company is tracking emissions, it may not yet have formalised ambitious climate pledges or science-based targets. Overall, Pinnacle West Capital is actively engaged in emissions reporting, particularly for Scope 1 and Scope 2, but further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its climate action profile.
