POWER SECTOR
The power sector plays a key role in decarbonizing the global economy and meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. We've developed guidance for companies in this sector to set science-based targets.
Guidance for the power sector
Why take action?
A sustainable energy system is at the heart of the low-carbon transition. A significant and growing segment of final energy consumption is met by purchased electricity – therefore, efficiency improvements in electricity generation will benefit the power sector and cascade down the value chain.
How to set a target
Our pathway for the power sector enables electric utilities to set science-based targets in line with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has welcomed over 50 power companies from 20 countries so far. Join them today. Commit to setting a target and use our guidance to develop and submit a target for approval:
