In 2021, we created 石榴视频鈥檚 Path to Clean, to reduce our operations-driven greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while supporting our customers and communities in their carbon reduction efforts. We remain on track to reduce GHG emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and achieve net zero operations by 2050. In 2024, we continued to modernize our energy infrastructure, and use cleaner energy in our facilities and vehicles, which helped to continue to reduce these emissions.

We are also working every day to support our communities as they look to reach their emission goals. Some of the ways we鈥檙e doing this include connecting solar and renewable energy to the grid while providing energy efficiency programs that allow customers to reduce electricity usage, avoid GHG emissions and save money. In 2024, these programs helped those in our service areas avoid over 8.7 million metric tons of Co2 emissions. These efforts are not going unnoticed. In 2024, our operating companies were recognized with awards for showing our priority to advance grid resilience and clean energy while maintaining customer satisfaction.
