Southern Power Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from The Southern Company

Southern Power Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of The Southern Company, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. While Southern Power Company has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that it inherits climate-related data and commitments from its parent organisation, The Southern Company. This includes participation in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+ (CA100), which are aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in corporate climate strategies. As a subsidiary, Southern Power Company may align its climate commitments with those of The Southern Company, which is actively working towards reducing its carbon footprint and transitioning to cleaner energy sources. However, without specific data or targets from Southern Power Company itself, the details of its individual climate strategy remain unclear. In summary, while Southern Power Company does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is part of a larger corporate family that is engaged in significant climate initiatives and commitments.
