We are part of a worldwide movement toward cleaner energy, carbon reduction and sustainability. We are transitioning our energy to a cleaner mix and expanding renewable resources.

In 2020, we announced an aspirational goal to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the electricity we generate by 2050. This builds upon our Clean Energy goals to eliminate all existing coal from our energy mix by 2040 and reduce CO2 emissions by 50% and water supply needs for fossil-fuel generation by 75% by 2030 from 2005 levels.
