The MethaneScan® Utilities Supply Chain Report (January 2024) uses proprietary state-of-the-art satellite technology and comprehensive modeling of incoming gas flows to natural gas power plants to estimate the methane intensity of nine major US investor-owned utilities – American Electric Power, CMS Energy, DTE Energy, Dominion Energy, Duke Energy, NextEra Energy, Southern Company, Xcel Energy and WEC Energy Group. If natural gas is to serve as a viable bridge fuel to Net Zero for power generation the reports find that the methane footprint of its supply chain must be substantially reduced – by 80% or more. Learn which investor-owned utilities are best positioned to be true sustainability leaders in this context.

These findings have material implications for sustainability investors, regulators, public policymakers and the investor-owned utilities themselves, particularly those aspiring to sustainability leadership.
