Assessing the Emissions Outlook for a Major Utility

GlobalData's Assessing the Emissions Outlook for a Major Utility report provides detailed insights on the performance and peer comparison overview and Utility 1’s portfolio and emissions outlook.

Key findings discussed in the report include:

Performance and peer comparison: 

• Emissions intensity comparison for Utility 1 and peers: Compared to other large European power producers, Utility 1 emits significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions per Kilowatt hour of electricity produced

• Electricity generation share by type in 2020: Utility 1, along with Utility 3 is relatively reliant on fossil fuels for power generation

• Fossil fuel generation share vs Renewable generation share: Analysed utility companies have mixed and relatively slow transition from fossil fuels to renewable electricity generation

Utility 1’s Portfolio and Emissions Outlook:

• Utility 1’s portfolio by asset, country and technology: Utility 1 holds gas and coal assets across Germany, the Netherlands and the UK

• Emissions Modelling Capacity and Generation Forecasts: Thermal power generation will increase slightly over the next three years. This slight increase is attributed to gas and oil power stations being relatively stable with minimal commissioning of gas and oil power plants

• Emissions Modelling Emissions Factors: Estimating emissions factors enables us to forecast company or asset level CO 2 emissions for electricity generation

• Emissions Modelling Emissions Forecast: Based on estimated generation and emission factors, we have forecasted Utility 1’s emissions until 2025

• Conclusions and assessment against targets: Utility 1 expected to achieve the 2025 emissions target
