We’re an energy company – that much is obvious. But we’re anything but average. Since integrating our business with British Energy early in 2009 we have become the biggest generator of power in the UK. In addition to nuclear, we have coal and gas generation, wind farms as well as combined heat and power plants.
We’re an integrated energy company. That means that we are active in all businesses: generation, transmission, distribution, energy supply and trading. This gives us an exceptionally broad perspective on the energy market in the UK. And it leaves us uniquely poised to influence the UK’s energy future.
