Every day our employees are helping to improve Alabama’s air quality. Our 6,000 employees who live and work in the state are committed to improving air quality by consistently meeting and surpassing the standards set by the federal government to protect human health and the environment and implementing a vigorous compliance and auditing program.
Since the late 1990s, we have strived to meet federal environmental mandates related to air. We’ve achieved significant carbon reductions – 44 % across our generation fleet from 2007-2024. In addition, we have reduced sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions by 99% and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions by 93% since 1996.
For decades, we have made significant investments in scrubber and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technologies to meet regulations to reduce emissions. Recently, we have added a baghouse and chemical injection technologies while adjusting our fuel mix to meet additional regulations.
As one of the largest water managers in the state, we devote great effort to preserving the environment by mindfully managing its water resources.
