Power

E.ON generates electricity in power plants located both domestically and abroad, based on a wide generation mix. Our nuclear reactors in Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, together with our modern hard and brown coal power plants, form the foundation of our generating activities in Germany. In the United Kingdom, coal and natural gas are the most important fuels, while in the United States we rely mainly on coal. Renewable energies continue to play an expanding role, and E.ON Wasserkraft is currently the largest supplier of hydropower in Central Europe. Clean hydropower is also Scandanavia’s most important source of energy, and in the United Kingdom, E.ON UK is quickly becoming the leading supplier of renewable energy installations.

 

E.ON Netz, an E.ON associated company, provides power transmission with one of the longest private power networks in continental Europe, with approximately 42,000 km in Germany alone. This network ensures reliable power delivery to customers, and is available to other companies as well. It provides key infrastructure for power markets on an international scale.

 

Power distribution in the European markets and the Midwestern segment of the United States market is carried out by numerous national and regional supply companies within the E.ON Group.
