Our Energy
Future
We’re building a future powered by clean, safe, reliable energy.
The Road to Clean Energy
We are the first U.S. energy provider to set aggressive carbon reduction goals for all the ways our customers use energy – electricity, natural gas use in buildings, and transportation. We’re leading the way toward that cleaner energy future with a focus on our customers and communities.
Our Clean Energy Vision
We aim to be a net-zero provider by 2050 including providing 100% carbon-free electricity to our customers.
By 2030
80% lower carbon emissions from our electric service
25% lower greenhouse gas emissions from our natural gas service
1 in 5 vehicles are EVs in our states
By 2050
100% carbon-free electricity
net zero gas service
zero carbon fuel for all vehicles
Leading the Clean Energy Transition
Here’s how we’ll get there
Electricity
We’ve already cut carbon emissions in half from the electricity we deliver to customers. Our nation-leading clean energy plans will cut carbon emissions 80% by the end of this decade, compared to 2005. And, as we work toward delivering 100% carbon-free electricity, we’ll keep working with our states to achieve their clean energy goals too.
Natural Gas
By 2030, our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% below 2020 levels, achieve net-zero methane emissions on our system and exclusively purchase natural gas with certified low emissions for gas distribution and power generation.
Transportation
Our clean energy can significantly reduce carbon emissions from transportation while helping customers save billions of dollars on fuel and delivering cleaner air for everyone.
Cleaner Electricity
By 2030 our plan will:
- Produce 80% of our electricity from carbon-free sources
- End the use of coal to generate electricity
- Add more wind, solar and battery storage
- Extend the use of reliable, carbon-free nuclear in the Upper Midwest
- Add more “always available” energy resources
Cleaner Natural Gas
We're taking steps toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the supply, distribution and use of natural gas by:
- Speeding up repair work, improving our operations and buying only natural gas with certified low methane emissions Expanding conservation and piloting advanced electric appliances for customers
- Developing low-carbon fuels like hydrogen and renewable natural gas
- Applying high-quality carbon offsets from local projects that create additional environmental and social benefits to offset only those emissions that are too costly or technically challenging to remove
Cleaner Transportation
We’ll reach our zero-carbon transportation goals by:
- Delivering EV charging solutions that are convenient and affordable for customers, at home and on the go.
- Providing infrastructure and energy to run all vehicles on carbon-free electricity or other clean fuel by 2050
- Ensuring all customers benefit from electric transportation, whether they drive an EV, take transit, or use ridesharing
- Transitioning our vehicle fleet to zero-carbon by 2050
