An ESG angle that often goes unnoticed: summer is when most commercial portfolios miss their Scope 2 targets. Grid emissions intensity rises in summer as marginal power generation shifts to peaker plants — often natural gas. Every kWh you consume during peak summer hours carries a higher emissions footprint than the same kWh consumed at 2am in March. Which means demand-side discipline during summer peaks isn't just margin protection. It's a Scope 2 lever. Reducing usage during the dirtiest hours of the year does outsized work for emissions reporting. #Sustainability #Scope2 #ESG #Decarbonization #EnergyManagement
