Environmental Commitment

EDP’s strategy for fighting climate change is aimed at progressively reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from its activity, with particular focus on electricity generation.

In 2007, EDP therefore set a goal of reducing specific emissions from its electricity generating facilities by 35% in 2010 against 2006. However, its 2009-2012 Business Plan, based on an investment strategy aimed at reducing exposure to CO2, reinforced this commitment and fixed the 2012 target at 270 kgCO2/kWh, i.e. 56% lower than the 2005 figure (600 gCO2/kWh).
