Progress

Reducing Carbon Emissions

We have reduced direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 34% from a 2019 base year,  equivalent to annual emissions of more than 900,000 gasoline vehicles. We are committed to achieving a coal-free generation mix by 2032. Our 2050 net-zero direct GHG emissions target reinforces Fortis' commitment to further decarbonize over the long-term, while continuing our focus on reliability and affordability. Our ability to decrease direct GHG emissions may be impacted by factors such as government energy policies, significant load growth, and new clean energy technology. 

One Goal, Many Paths

All Fortis companies support our emissions reduction targets and make a distinct contribution, reflecting their business and geographic considerations. Learn more about how our three largest utilities are driving the cleaner energy transition.
