Advance Clean Energy
Providing clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy to customers is fundamental to
Southern Company’s mission. Our growing portfolio of zero-carbon resources plays an
integral role in helping us meet these objectives as well as our net zero by 2050 goal,
which is in direct alignment with the commitments of the Paris Agreement. We are
transforming our business as we build a diverse energy portfolio, develop innovative
programs and services for our customers, and research new clean energy technologies.
Our primary GHG reduction goals are to achieve 50% reduction from 2007 levels by 2030 and to reach net
zero by 2030. We have already made meaningful shifts to decarbonize our business in a relatively short timeframe,
and we are mindful of the impact these changes can have on our customers, communities and employees. Our
planning process routinely considers a host of factors, including affordability, reliability, safety, environmental
impacts and resilience, as well as broader social and economic community impacts.
