Generating 10 percent of the UK's electricity..cleanly, efficiently, reliably

E.ON UK's generation business is involved in every link of the energy chain, producing electricity from a portfolio of world-class power stations and researching new technologies to meet the needs of our customer base.

Generation

Our diverse portfolio of 10 coal, gas and oil-fired power stations generates around 10 percent of the UK's electricity using some of the most advanced technologies in the world.

We are one of the biggest names in combined heat and power, with 13 sites across the UK from Kent to Cumbria and we also own and operate one of the UK’s leading green generation businesses. Producing enough green power to supply the homes of a city the size of Manchester, our renewables portfolio is made up of 21 operational wind farms and an extensive biomass co-firing programme. In addition to this we’re also building the UK’s largest dedicated biomass power station at Steven’s Croft near Lockerbie which will generate enough electricity for around 70,000 homes and prevent the emission of 140,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases every year.
