In 2023, North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of approximately 0.00166 kg CO2e per million units of revenue, reflecting its operational performance. This figure is derived from Scope 1 and 2 emissions, although specific absolute emissions data for the year is not disclosed. Looking at previous years, the GHG emission intensity for 2022 was about 0.00202 kg CO2e per million units of revenue, and in 2021, it was approximately 0.00197 kg CO2e per million units of revenue. The trend indicates a slight improvement in emission intensity over these years, suggesting ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments, NEEPCO's performance data indicates a focus on minimising emissions relative to revenue generation. The company does not currently have any publicly disclosed science-based targets (SBTi) or climate pledges, which may limit its formal commitments to reducing overall carbon emissions. As NEEPCO operates within the energy sector, it is essential for the organisation to align with industry standards and practices to address climate change effectively. The lack of cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organisation further highlights the need for NEEPCO to establish its own comprehensive climate strategy.
