At NI Water, we’re committed to delivering a net zero, climate resilient future for all our customers. Climate change is of particular importance to the water sector given the impact on the quality and quantity of water sources, the carbon intensity of our sector’s supply chain, and the exposure of our assets to extreme weather events. We have challenged ourselves to go further and faster than the already stretching net zero targets set in law. As an operator of a piece of critical national infrastructure, we must be ready for climate change. We know the challenge ahead of us and what we must do.
NI Water is committing to achieve net zero for the energy we use by 2030 and net zero for all our emissions by 2040, as measured against our 2020/21 adjusted baseline. We are moving our business to a higher state of readiness by planning for two degrees of temperature rise by 2050 and preparing for four degrees by 2090.
Our plan for shifting to 100% renewable electricity is to:
