Download The 2024 Decarbonization Report
The third Annual Utility Decarbonization Report has arrived! This year’s report goes beyond ranking the top 47 U.S. investor-owned utilities (IOUs) by expanding its scope to include Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs) and Gas Utilities, providing a more comprehensive view of the industry’s decarbonization progress.
Developed in collaboration with Visual Capitalist, the National Public Utilities Council (NPUC) has created this report as a benchmark for public utilities to lead the charge in the energy transition. It offers utilities, investors, and customers a data-driven snapshot of the current state of clean energy efforts across U.S. utilities, guiding informed decisions and helping drive meaningful progress towards net-zero.
