We make Clean Energy from the Power of Water
Water power is one of the world's cleanest and most efficient energy sources. For us, this is reason enough to concentrate our efforts on promoting the generation of electrical power from this source. With success. E.ON is one of the leading generators of hydroelectric power in Germany - we convert the power of water into electricity at more than 120 plants, producing enough environmentally friendly and efficient energy to power almost three million households. In Sweden, we supply 30 percent of the households with electricity generated by hydroelectric power.
We are deeply committed to the expansion of hydroelectric power generation wherever it is geologically and commercially feasible, because the power of water presents one more outstanding advantage: the extreme efficiency of hydroelectric plants of over 90 percent and their robust engineering ensure the long-term technical and economical viability of such facilities. In addition to these advantages, hydroelectric power plants are characterized by a continuous base load capability and therefore constantly feed power into our grids.
This is why we are currently occupied with the planning and construction of new hydroelectric power plants - for example, on the Isar and Inn rivers in Bavaria. In Gottfrieding on the lower Isar, a plant is being built to provide electricity for 6.100 households. In the USA, we are planning the construction of a 99 megawatt plant close to Louisville as well as a comprehensive modernization of existing power plants.
