Scope 1 emissions includes all direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the AVANGRID Group such as power generation facilities, offices and fleet vehicles. Scope 2 emissions includes indirect
greenhouse gas emissions associated with the generation of purchased energy consumed by the AVANGRID Group, including 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

ESG+F Value Proposition INVESTOR DAY 2022
AV A N G R I D : A D E M O N S T R AT E D E S G L E A D E R
Avangrid has led the commitment to emissions reductions since 2017 and we have continued to expand our
commitments
Commitments
The breadth of our ESG commitments and recognition is the company’s differentiator
• A leader in % of renewables as % of capacity and emission intensity (>6Xs lower than industry average(1))
• Leading emissions targets
• More ESG goals than many of our peers (11 vs. <=5)
• Social impact commitments stronger than many of our peers
Broad 3rd party recognition validates this position
Iberdrola’s longstanding strength in sustainability reinforces our position
Merger with PNMR will support a continued ESG expansion

APPENDIX
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.
The installed storage capacity is based on Avangrid's long term outlook. The
methodology for determining future storage capacity equals 1 hour of duration
Storage Capacity Installed storage (MWh)
at full load to be considered; the MWh of storage coincide in number with the
MW of installed power.
The number of plugs achieved is defined as the number of EV charging plugs
Network EV Charging Points Installed chargers (ks) supported by incentives through the EV Make-Ready Programs. The number
of chargers is reported through Annual Program Reports filed with regulators.
Percentage of Sustainable Light Vehicle Fleet in service at Avangrid relative to
the total fleet (actual count converted to percent). Sustainable vehicles include
Sustainable Light Vehicle Fleet % of light vehicle fleet electric vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, vehicles powered by ethanol,
hydrogen, and any other alternative sustainable technology to the combustion
of diesel or gasoline.
100% of the electricity consumed in Avangrid corporate buildings to come from
Renewable Electricity in Corporate renewable energy sources by 2030. The percent measurement will be based
% of electricity consumption
Buildings on buildings where 1) the market supports the purchase of renewable energy
and 2) Avangrid can purchase electricity for the facility.
