Targets/Metrics/Definition
Targets Metrics Definition
Avangrid’s definitions of carbon neutral are developed with Iberdrola's SBTi Net
Zero goal development. The definition of carbon neutral is aligned with SBTi Net
Zero guidance requirements including a 90% reduction in emissions and
neutralization of residual emissions within the defined timeframe. For this goal,
Scope 1 & 2 emissions are combined to meet the SBTi emissions reduction
target.

Scopes 1 & 2 carbon Scope 1 emissions includes all direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources
Net Zero Strategy neutral by 2030 that are owned or controlled by the AVANGRID Group such as power generation
facilities, offices, and fleet vehicles. Scope 2 emissions includes indirect
emissions derived from the company’s activity but generated by other entities,
including emissions from the generation of electricity acquired for the company’s
offices and grid losses during the distribution of third-party power. Scope 3
emissions are all other indirect greenhouse gas emissions occurring in the AVANGRID
Group value chain, such as emissions from supply chain, electricity purchased for end
users, and gas supplied to final customers. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide
(CO2), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and methane (CH4).
Emissions Intensity Associated with Emissions intensity is the carbon emissions of energy generation measured in
gCO2/kWh
Generation grams divided by the generation production measured in kwh.

Emission free installed capacity is the measurement of installed renewable


capacity (MW) from base year 2015 to 2030. Installed capacity (consolidated and
Emission Free Installed Capacity MW/% growth from 2015
minority JV equity stake) includes wind & solar, hydro, fuel cells, storage, and
green hydrogen.

Green hydrogen is hydrogen generated by renewable energy. The installed


Green Hydrogen Installed capacity (kton) capacity is based on production capacity assuming 100% operations availability
with 18.5 kg of hydrogen produced per MW per hour at 100% availability/year.
