On Sept. 17, 2009, Idaho Power established a goal to reduce its resource portfolio's average CO₂ emission intensity for 2010 through 2013 to a level of 10 to 15 percent below its 2005 CO₂ emission intensity of 1,194 lbs CO₂/megawatt-hour (MWh).

Get the specifics about the goal from IDACORP, Inc.'s 8-K issued Sept. 17, 2009.

The chart below tracks Idaho Power's progress toward meeting this goal.

The current year-to-date and average 2010-2013 period-to-date CO₂ emission intensity is updated monthly on a provisional basis and trued up to actual figures on an annual basis. As illustrated below, Idaho Power is on track to exceed the CO₂ emission intensity reduction goal it established in 2009.

Reflecting its further commitment to that goal, in November 2012 Idaho Power extended its goal to reduce its resource portfolio's average CO₂ emission intensity to a level of 10 to 15 percent below its 2005 CO₂ emission intensity through 2015.

The chart below only includes emissions and generation from Idaho Power-owned generation resources. If Idaho Power has sold any Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), the renewable generation creating those RECs is not included in this CO₂ intensity calculation.
