Climate Goals & Targets
Long-term Goals:
- Achieve 100% carbon-free owned electricity generation by 2040.
Medium-term Goals:
- Reduce operations-driven emissions by 100% by 2040 (with offsets for any remaining emissions).
Short-term Goals:
- Reduce carbon emissions by 65% by 2030 (from a 2020 baseline).
- Reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
- Achieve 95% carbon-free owned electricity generation by 2030.
Environmental Challenges
- Increased GHG emissions in 2023 due to higher natural gas generation in Texas to meet electricity grid demand.
- Climate-related physical risks (increasing temperatures, severe weather, water scarcity).
- Climate-related transition risks (changes in energy systems, customer expectations, regulations).
Mitigation Strategies
- Developing a roadmap to achieve ambitious climate goals (100% carbon-free owned electricity generation by 2040).
- Investing in nuclear uprates and license renewals to increase clean energy capacity.
- Investing in wind repowering and refurbishment.
- Exploring co-location of customer facilities (e.g., data centers) at nuclear plants.
- Commercial resiliency assessment of nuclear generation fleet (to be completed in 2024).
