Company Description

E.ON UK hasn't been a UK energy provider for eons, but long enough to become one of the top power suppliers and producers in the nation. A subsidiary of German utility E.ON, the company has operations in electricity generation and supply. E.ON UK supplies electricity (and natural gas) to 5 million nonregulated retail customers. The company has regulated power utility assets, and operates conventional and renewable energy-based power plants with a generating capacity of 10,575 MW. Its Central Networks unit operated a distribution network serving 5 million power customers. However, in 2011 E.ON sold this unit to PPL for $5.7 billion as part of an ongoing divestment plan.
