Arizona's electricity grid has a CO2e emission factor of 706.2 lb/MWh (0.3203 kg/kWh) - 8% cleaner than the US average. The grid is 40% carbon-free and 22% renewable. These are the official EPA eGRID2023 values used for GHG Protocol Scope 2 location-based emissions reporting.
Arizona is entirely within the AZNM (WECC Southwest) eGRID subregion.

Arizona's EPA eGRID2023 electricity emission factor is 706.2 lb CO2e per MWh (0.3203 kg per kWh). This is 8% cleaner than the US national average.
Multiply the facility's annual kWh consumption by 0.3203 to get kg CO2e. Divide by 1,000 for metric tonnes. For facilities spanning multiple Arizona subregions, use the emission factors API to get the exact factor by ZIP code.
Arizona's grid is 40% carbon-free and 22% renewable. At 706 lb CO2e/MWh, it is 8% cleaner than the US average of 770.9 lb/MWh.
