2022 Performance
The AltaLink GHG Working Group (established in 2021), identified our primary sources of GHGs and developed a GHG management plan. The plan identified the following areas of focus that will help get AltaLink to net zero:
- Governance and reporting
- Electricity and natural gas consumption
- Fleet emissions

ESG in Action: Hard at work for our feathered friends
In March 2022, members of AltaLink’s Environment and Field Operations teams were joined by the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) in Granum to donate and install a new 15-foot artificial nesting platform for a pair of ferruginous hawks.

Sustainable Electricity Leader
In 2014, AltaLink was honoured to be the first electricity transmission company, and only the second electricity company in Canada to receive Electricity Canada’s Sustainable Electricity LeaderTM designation.
The designation is eligible for renewal every five years. In 2019, AltaLink became the first Canadian utility to be re-designated, reflecting our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our customers, communities and employees through sustainable business practices.
The designation was developed for utility companies across Canada and requires utilities to commit to standards for environmental and social responsibility. In addition to the standards, companies must also pass a third-party external verification of their observance to the standard.
