What Net Zero means for us
As part of Pennon Group plc, we are committed to the Group's ambition to achieve Net Zero across all scopes of emissions by 2050. During 2026/27, the Group will publish its Climate Transition Plan, setting out how we will deliver this ambition through the decarbonisation of our operations and value chain, supported by our near-term science-based targets and a pathway to Net Zero.
Reducing energy consumption at our sites
We’ve optimised our water pumping stations and put energy-saving procedures and technology in our offices including automatic lights and taps, and doing everything we can to reduce leaks on our network so that energy isn’t wasted treating water that’s never used.
We're taking major steps to reduce energy and carbon emissions at our water sites.
Using renewable energy
Luckily for us, we live in a place that provides us with everything we need - plenty of sun, wind and water. We self generate some of the electricity we use from our own renewable energy schemes, such as the solar power we've installed on some of our larger sites.
Restoring peatland
When they're healthy, peatlands can store vast quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) - twice as much as all the Earth's forests put together.
