Adding Electric Vehicles To Our Fleet

Interesting facts from Edison Electric Institutes annual factsheet:
- As of year-end 2019, the electric power industry’s carbon dioxide emissions were 33% below 2005 levels.
- Almost 40% of the electricity in the United States is generated by carbon-free resources (e.g., nuclear, wind, hydro, and solar). NorthWestern Energy has already surpassed that percentage, with 65% of its electric generation coming from carbon-free resources.
- Carbon emissions for the electric power industry are now 15% below transportation sector emissions.
Our Net Zero Vision
While staying true to our core responsibilities, we are also committing to achieve carbon neutrality in our electric and natural gas operations by 2050.
