Report from National Public Utilities Council
ranks Avangrid second overall among the country’s 47 largest
investor-owned utilities.
Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company
and member of the Iberdrola Group, announced today that it is once
again one of the nation’s top two public utilities for
decarbonization, according to the National Public Utilities
Council’s (NPUC) Annual Utility Decarbonization Report. This annual
report uses the latest complete data to analyze the decarbonization
efforts of the largest investor-owned utilities in the United
States. For the second consecutive year Avangrid ranked second
overall.
“When it comes to decarbonization, Avangrid is leading by
example. We are proud to be recognized once again as a top company
for decarbonization by the NPUC, further validating our commitment
to combating climate change and creating a more sustainable and
equitable future,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “As a member of
the Iberdrola Group led by Executive Chairman Ignacio Galán, we are
advancing the clean energy transition by growing our portfolio of
renewable energy generation, investing in our networks
infrastructure and grid modernization, and ensuring the well-being
of our customers, employees, and communities.”
Avangrid received the highest possible scores in five of the six
categories. It ranked first overall for lowest CO2 emissions from
owned and purchased electricity generation and lowest CO2 emissions
per residential customer equivalent (RCE). Avangrid came in at just
0.3 metric tons of CO2 per customer, a fraction of the 5.7 metric
ton average of investor-owned utilities included in the NPUC’s
report.
The NPUC publishes a Utility Decarbonization Report annually to
inform, support, and encourage the rapid decarbonization of the
utility sector using data-informed analysis. Utilities were ranked
using six key metrics related to each utilities’ fuel mix, carbon
emissions, decarbonization goals and carbon-free investments. The
report’s aim is to “rank companies, not based on how close they are
to net zero, but how well they are doing in their efforts to get
there in comparison to the others.”
Avangrid has an ambitious carbon neutrality implementation
strategy aligned with SBTi (Science Based Target initiative)
milestones that were also adopted by Iberdrola, including a goal of
achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. In
addition to its top-two ranking in the NPUC report this year,
Avangrid’s decarbonization actions and commitment to clean energy
have contributed to Avangrid being named one of America’s Most Just
Companies 2024, one of America’s Climate Leaders 2024, and the Most
Sustainable Company in the Clean Energy Industry.
