Notes

The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.

LOW-CARBON GENERATION SUMMARY BY COMPANY		2018	2018
Supplier name	Low-carbon	GWh of low-carbon electricity generation	% of overall low-carbon electricity generation
EDF ENERGY	Low-carbon	45,517	35%
CENTRICA	Low-carbon	11,820	9%
RWE	Low-carbon	2,928	2%
E.on	Low-carbon	2,818	2%
SSE	Low-carbon	6,131	5%
SCOTTISH POWER	Low-carbon	2,855	2%
DRAX	Low-carbon	7,818	6%
ENGIE	Low-carbon	166	0%
OTHER	Low-carbon	52,727	39%
TOTAL	Low-carbon	134,780	100%

Using the latest available data would put EDF Energy's % of low carbon generation at 35%, with Other at 39%. The 39% of Other can itself be broken down into many different owners, the top ten by share of the Other owners and their percentage share of that 39% is below:

DONG Energy RB (UK) Ltd	5.90%
Vattenfall Wind Power Ltd	3.36%
Morecambe Wind Limited	2.91%
Fred Olsen Renewables Ltd	2.59%
Walney (UK) Offshore Windfarms Ltd	2.59%
Clyde Windfarm (Scotland) Limited	2.44%
Galloper Wind Farm Limited	2.42%
Octopus Investments Limited	2.37%
Foresight Group LLP	1.97%
Falck Renewables Ltd	1.86%

DONG Energy alone accounted for 2.3% of all low-carbon generation in 2018 (38% x 5.9%), with Vattenfall a further 1.3%, and Fred Olsen 1.0%. Removing DONG, Vattenfall and Fred Olsen would leave Other at 34.4%, which itself is still made up of many smaller, independent generators with split ownership. It is therefore the case that EDF Energy was the single largest generator of low-carbon electricity in 2018.
