SCOTTISH POWER's Carbon Emissions & Climate Commitments

SCOTTISH POWER, an "Electricity nec" company based in GB, reported total global emissions of approximately 10.62 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 31.09 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 659.06 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 9.93 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2023, the company's total global emissions were around 10.13 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 33.07 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions at about 640.93 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at roughly 9.46 billion kg CO2e. In 2019, total global emissions were higher, reaching approximately 12.62 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 34.90 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of around 844.83 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 11.75 billion kg CO2e.

SCOTTISH POWER has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments to mitigate its climate impact. These include reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy-related activities and the use of sold products by 64% by 2030, against a 2019 base year. Specifically, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 47% by 2030 (2019 base year). Furthermore, SCOTTISH POWER is committed to reducing 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, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 28% over the same timeframe. These near-term targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.

SCOTTISH POWER is a current subsidiary of Iberdrola, S.A., and its CA100+ and RTZ initiatives are cascaded from Iberdrola, S.A. However, its SBTi and CDP initiatives, along with its organizational performance data, are sourced directly from Scottish Power Limited.
