Platte River Power Authority's reported carbon emissions

In 2018, Platte River Power Authority reported carbon emissions data, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The emissions factors for their power plants were noted, with the Rawhide power plant emitting approximately 945.74 kg CO2e per MWh and the Craig power plant emitting about 1,039.63 kg CO2e per MWh. However, no Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data was provided. Platte River Power Authority has not established any specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As such, their current climate strategy appears to lack formalised reduction initiatives. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that Platte River Power Authority may need to enhance its climate action framework to align with industry standards and expectations for transparency and accountability in carbon emissions management.
