✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 5.6% (from 715,423 tCO2e in 2022 to 471,439 tCO2e in 2023). This is attributed to a decrease in total load transferred to the system and reduction in fluorinated gases used.
- Regenerated approximately 49 tonnes of insulating oils and 147 kg of SF6 gas.
- Implemented an asset renewal program totaling €200 million to increase system resilience.
- Secured 2GW of electrical space for offshore wind farms.
- Improved energy efficiency in administration buildings, reducing oil and gas consumption.
