This marks an increase from 2023, when emissions were about 14,093,172,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 15,097,111,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. In 2022, the Authority's emissions were around 13,020,739,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 15,159,828,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite these figures, the South Carolina Public Service Authority has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. As the Authority continues to operate, it remains crucial for them to establish clear strategies for emissions reduction to align with industry standards and global climate goals.
