Salt River Project, based in United States of America, generates electricity and heat, largely by burning fossil fuels. Climate TRACE attributes 2 high-emitting assets to it. Its largest tracked activities are electricity generation.

Burns coal, gas or oilFossil fuels are combusted in power stations to generate electricity.
Releases CO₂That combustion sends carbon dioxide straight into the atmosphere.
Traps heatExtra CO₂ thickens the greenhouse blanket, warming the planet.

How it's allowed

Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only, not from any legal or regulatory finding.

Permitted Emissions
These emissions appear to occur under existing permits and regulations. Operating legally is not the same as operating cleanly.
Ownership Data Gaps
Only 40% of this entity's attributed emissions trace to a clearly identified owner. Incomplete ownership data limits accountability.
Fossil-Fuel Power Generation
Attributed emissions include fossil-fuel power generation, which is among the most carbon-intensive ways to produce electricity.
Improving Trajectory
Attributed emissions are falling (~22%/yr): an improving trajectory, though absolute output remains large.
No Verified Enforcement or Lobbying Record
This dataset contains no verified enforcement actions, lobbying records, subsidies, or litigation for this entity. Absence of evidence here is not evidence of compliance or of any violation.

Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.

Attributed emissions are falling by about +22.3% per year. Attributed emissions, 2022–2024.

It ranks #620 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 5.9 Mt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 1.3M cars/yr).

The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with a -2.5-point improving adjustment.

How sure the measurement is. A low score doesn't lower the polluter's rank; it just flags fuzzier data.

What's known · what isn't

What’s known

  • Attributed emissions: 5.9 Mt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 1.3M cars/yr).
  • Primary sector: Power; primary country: United States of America.
  • Evidence: 2 assets; ~40% ownership-attribution coverage.
  • Source: Climate TRACE (CC BY 4.0).

What isn’t

  • Exact ownership percentages: Climate TRACE lists owners but not stakes, so shared assets are split equally.
  • Indirect (supply-chain / financed / product-use) emissions are not included.
  • Some of this sector's emissions could not be attributed to any named owner.
  • No PR claims, lobbying records, litigation history or policy-compliance data are included.
