Utilities — Electricity · Transmission & Distribution System Operators
← all sectorsGrid transmission + distribution operators' own carbon is small vs the enabled emissions they unlock — how fast they can connect new low-carbon generation + reinforce the network dominates the country's power-sector trajectory.
Where this sector sits globally
- Scope 1SF6 fugitive emissionsSF6 has 24,300× GWP over CO2 and leaks from HV switchgear. Single largest Scope 1 category for most TSOs.
- Scope 2Network losses (own use)~2-3% of transmitted energy dissipates in lines + transformers. Loss reduction is a direct Scope 2 lever proportional to load.
- Scope 3 · cat 2Grid buildout materialsSteel, aluminium, copper, concrete in every new circuit + substation. Embodied Scope 3 that grows with every reinforcement scheme.
- Scope 3 · downstreamEnabled connection emissionsNot formally counted by most TSOs, but connection queue depth and reinforcement pace directly cap national low-carbon generation rollout.
TSOs align to SBTi Power for their own operational trajectory and to the national net-zero pathway (UK CCC balanced pathway; equivalent US ISO / EU TSO documents) for enabled emissions. TPT Disclosure Framework is the UK reporting standard.

Each strip shows where every firm in the cohort sits on one intensity axis. Lower is better — left of the strip is best, right is worst. Each peer dot tooltips its value and the year it came from. Financial denominators are converted to USD before computing so cross-currency comparisons are apples-to-apples.
