Black Hills Says Natural Gas in Mix, Aiming for 90% GHG Reduction by 2030

Black Hills Corp. is aiming to achieve a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 based on 2005 levels as it aims to exceed Colorado’s requirements.

Subsidiary Black Hills Energy submitted its 2030 Ready Plan to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) at the end of May. The plan details how the company could surpass Colorado’s requirement for utilities to reduce GHG emissions by 80% by 2030. 

The official plan “builds on a clean energy journey that began over a decade ago, when we began transitioning our fleet to lower emissions natural gas generation and emissions-free renewable generation, while maintaining system safety and reliability,” said Black Hills CEO Linn Evans.
