Ausgrid

Ausgrid's carbon emissions have shown a decreasing trend in recent years, alongside significant climate commitments. In 2023, Ausgrid reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1.04 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 11.1 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 656.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and approximately 369.0 million kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions.

In the preceding year, 2022, Ausgrid's total emissions were approximately 1.12 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 22.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 725.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions data was not disclosed for 2022.

Looking further back, in 2021, total emissions stood at approximately 1.17 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 22.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 780.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 369.0 million kg CO2e. Ausgrid's Scope 3 emissions in 2021 were broken down by categories, including capital goods, business travel, employee commute, purchased goods and services, waste generated in operations, and fuel and energy-related activities.

Ausgrid has established clear emission reduction targets. The company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, Ausgrid aims for a substantial long-term reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 97% by 2045, also from a 2020 baseline. These targets are considered "near-term" and "long-term" respectively.

It is important to note that Ausgrid's emissions data is cascaded from Ausgrid Pty Ltd, which is its corporate parent.
