Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the TEPCO sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.
TPI generally assesses companies based on the emissions intensity of their owned generation. However, in the case of Chubu and TEPCO, taking the emissions intensity of sold electricity (i.e. power sales) provides a more representative assessment of these two companies’ transition risk, given that it includes the emissions of JERA, an electricity utility that TEPCO and Chubu jointly own. Note that the pathway above includes JERA’s emissions and that a pathway for TEPCO’s emissions intensity excluding JERA would be at 0.010 tCO2/MWh in 2022. To calculate this company’s targeted emissions intensity, TPI has assumed that the company’s electricity generation grows according to the national or regional electricity generation growth rate projected in the IEA’s 2023 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.
