Idaho Power's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Idaho Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 4,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 5,530,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. For the previous year, 2022, Idaho Power's emissions were slightly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 4,400,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 1,730,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 reaching around 6,570,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a commitment to transparency and accountability in emissions reporting. Idaho Power's emissions intensity for electricity generation has shown variability, with an average CO2 emissions intensity of approximately 335 kg CO2e per MWh in 2023, compared to 424 kg CO2e per MWh in 2022. This indicates a potential improvement in emissions efficiency. Despite these figures, Idaho Power has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company is a current subsidiary of IDACORP, Inc., which may influence its broader corporate sustainability strategies. Overall, Idaho Power's emissions data and lack of formal reduction targets highlight the need for ongoing evaluation and potential enhancement of its climate commitments in the context of the energy sector's transition towards lower carbon emissions.
