Our transformation of the power generation sector to cleaner resources is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic necessity for our business. As we continue to expand our power generation fleet to meet the growing demands of our customers, we are also delivering significant environmental, social, and economic value to the communities we serve. This approach supports our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and helps our customers meet their own environmental goals through the use of low- and zero-carbon power. A Low-Carbon Economy: Key Characteristics
• **Renewable Energy Sources**: Our focus on expanding our power generation fleet to cleaner technologies, including new data centers and large customers, will drive the growth of renewable energy sources. • **Energy Efficiency**: We will continue to promote energy efficiency in our operations and customers’ premises to minimize energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. • **Carbon Pricing**: We will work with our customers and suppliers to incorporate carbon pricing mechanisms to increase the financial value of reducing emissions. • **Climate-Resilient Infrastructure**: We will invest in climate-resilient infrastructure to ensure that our infrastructure can withstand the impacts of climate change. By adopting these strategies, we will accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy and create a more sustainable future for our customers and the environment. Our Climate Strategy
Entergy’s climate strategy is guided by our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Our path assumes continued technology advancements and ensures that our climate objectives are aligned with those of our customers. On our journey to net-zero, we have set several interimgoals to measure our progress. • **Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions**: We aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to 2010 levels. • **Increasing Renewable Energy Share**: We aim to increase our renewable energy share to 50% by 2030, up from 25% in 2020. • **Improving Energy Efficiency**: We aim to improve our energy efficiency by 20% by 2030, compared to 2010 levels. By achieving these interimgoals, we will be well on our way to achieving our net-zero emissions goal. Sustainable Growth: Opportunity and Challenge
Due to stronger-than-expected sales growth, we expect that our 50% carbon-free energy-generating capacity goal will be delayed beyond 2030. However, this does not change our long-term commitment to net-zero emissions. Despite these challenges, we remain confident that our approach will drive sustainable growth and create a more sustainable future for our customers and the environment. In addition to our 50% carbon-free energy-generating capacity goal, we also have a target to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from our operations by 50% by 2030. This target is driven by our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint and improving our sustainability performance. We will continue to work with our customers and suppliers to promote sustainable growth and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By doing so, we will create a more sustainable future for our customers and the environment, and drive economic development opportunities and improve overall quality of life in our region. **Key Partnerships**
* **Data Center Operators**: We are working with data center operators to develop sustainable data center designs and operations that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. * **Supplier Partnerships**: We are partnering with suppliers to promote sustainable practices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout our supply chain. * **Customer Partnerships**: We are working with customers to promote sustainable growth and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the use of low- and zero-carbon power. By working together with our customers, suppliers, and partners, we can drive sustainable growth and create a more sustainable future for our region. Entergy’s Climate Change Mitigation Efforts
Entergy is committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. We have implemented several initiatives to reduce our emissions, including:
* **Energy Efficiency Programs**: We have implemented energy efficiency programs to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in our operations. * **Renewable Energy Investments**: We are investing in renewable energy sources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and lower our greenhouse gas emissions. * **Carbon Offset Program**: We have established a carbon offset program to offset our remaining emissions and ensure that our operations are carbon neutral. By implementing these initiatives, we are reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Entergy’s Net-Zero Emissions Goal
Entergy’s net-zero emissions goal is guided by our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. We believe that achieving net-zero emissions is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic necessity for our business. By achieving net-zero emissions, we will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, improve our sustainability performance, and drive economic development opportunities and improve overall quality of life in our region. Our net-zero emissions goal is inclusive of all scopes, all applicable greenhouse gases, and all businesses. We will achieve this goal by investing in low- to zero-carbon power sources, magnifying our impact by collaborating with customers and suppliers to reduce their emissions, and promoting sustainable growth and reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout our supply chain. By achieving our net-zero emissions goal, we will create a more sustainable future for our customers and the environment, and drive economic development opportunities and improve overall quality of life in our region. A table summarizing our climate strategy and interimgoals can be seen below:
| Climate Strategy | Interimgoals |
|---|---|
| Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions | 50% by 2030 |
| Increase Renewable Energy Share | 50% by 2030 |
| Improve Energy Efficiency | 20% by 2030 |
By achieving our climate strategy and interimgoals, we will be well on our way to achieving our net-zero emissions goal and creating a more sustainable future for our customers and the environment.
