Performance indicators

We use the following performance indicators to measure our performance in the individual fields of action by means of clear and binding targets. The three indicators installed renewable energies capacity, share of installed renewable energies capacity and CO₂ intensity are defined as top performance indicators of the environmental dimension for the implementation of the EnBW 2025 Strategy.

The emissions of CO₂, SO₂ und NOx from own generation of electricity for the Group, as well as the volume of electricity generated by the Group without the contribution made by the nuclear power plants, form the basis for the calculation of the key performance indicator CO₂ intensity and the indicators SO₂ and NOx. These indicators are calculated as the ratio between the emissions and the generated volume of electricity and thus specifically describes the amount of CO₂, SO₂ and NOx released per kilowatt hour. By discounting the electricity generated by nuclear power plants, the indicators will not be influenced by the phasing out of nuclear energy in the coming years.
