Carbon Performance Evergy

Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Evergy sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.

Assessment Date:
The regional benchmarks applied to this company are for North-America.
TPI notes:

The company has set a target to reduce its absolute emissions. To calculate this company’s targeted emissions intensity, TPI assumes that the company’s electricity generation grows according to the national or regional electricity generation growth rate projected in the IEA’s 2020 World Energy Outlook’s Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS). When interpreting TPI Carbon Performance data, it is important to bear in mind that climate science shows temperature change is proportional to cumulative absolute CO2 emissions.
