Tomorrow's Technology Today
We’re committed to reducing emissions to improve the air quality surrounding our friends and neighbors. Today, we are at the forefront of our industry. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions have decreased by approximately 95%, nitrogen oxide (NOx) by approximately 81%, and carbon dioxide (CO2) by over 63%, below 2005 levels.

Presentation

In 5-year increments, the line graph represents the amount of key emissions per year in metric tons for Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides and Carbon Dioxide. Emissions listed for the time period are represented using lines descending left to right horizontally, with dots indicating the amount of emissions for the year listed.

Spotlight
Taking Strides Towards Lowering Emissions
Electrifying Our Fleet
We are actively replacing our light-duty vehicles with a goal to replace 100% by 2030.
Focusing on Clean Energy
We’ve invested in over 800 MW of wind and solar power while converting 35 percent of our coal-fueled fleet to natural gas.
Smart Choices
We offer smart energy usage programs to help customers manage their energy use and save money on their monthly bill.

Reducing Emissions Through Energy Efficiency

We believe it is critical to equip our customers with the resources and tools necessary to make smart energy choices. We offer energy efficiency and demand response programs, such as SmartHours™, to help our customers save money, manage their usage, and support our efforts to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Our SmartHours program allows customers to shift their electricity use to lower cost “off-peak” times giving them more control over how they use energy for their homes and businesses.

Solar Power
Leading Change With Our Electric Fleet

We’re empowered to reduce greenhouse emissions by making smart choices on behalf of our company. Upgrading 100% of our light-duty vehicle fleet to electric vehicles by 2030 allows us to meet our goal of reducing the company’s fleet vehicle emissions by 60 percent by 2030. And we’re also integrating fuel efficient vehicles that use Electric Power Take Off (ePTO) equipment while retiring our medium and heavy-duty trucks wherever possible.

Tracking Our Impact with Advanced Monitoring Systems

Our Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) measure emissions from our power plants around the clock. These state-of-the-art systems allow us to verify compliance and quantify the emission reductions we invest in on behalf of our communities and are certified by the Environmental Protection Agency.
