Emissions Reduction Targets:

SCOTTISH POWER has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. These include:

• Overall Reduction: A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and certain Scope 3 GHG emissions (from fuel and energy-related activities and use of sold products) by 64% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• Scope 1 & 2 Reduction: A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 47% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. These targets are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
• Scope 3 Reductions:
  • A commitment to reduce Scope 3 Category 3 emissions from all sold electricity by 100% per MWh by 2030 from a 2019 base year, equivalent to a 100% absolute reduction.
  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products by 28% over the same timeframe (2019 base year to 2030).

These SBTi targets are cascaded from Scottish Power Limited, a related organization.
