Delta offers its clients an energy test that shows them how much energy they consume in comparison with the national average. Delta offers the test in a brief and an extensive version. Delta also offers its clients a test that shows them how “green” or “energy efficient” they behave in their daily life. On its website, Delta gives its clients information about the power consumption of home appliances. Delta publishes a number of energy use reduction tips and climate tips. It also publishes a free newsletter with information about sustainability and energy saving. On its website, Delta offers its clients free information on solar panels, solar boilers, and relevant subsidies. Delta sells solar panels and boilers and offers free advice (in a personal home visit) on payment and installation of the panels and boilers. Delta participates in the program ‘Meer met Minder’, a joint initiative by government, construction companies, and energy companies through which homeowners can evaluate how to lower their electricity costs. 24 Replacement of Kreekrak (9.5 MW) by a wind farm of 39 MW. 25 Ministerie Economische Zaken, Sectorakkoord Energie 2008-2020, 28 October 2008, http://www.ez.nl/dsresource?objectid=160723&type=PDF (22-07-09). 26 The power station will produce 220 GWh (TU Delft, Getijdencentrale in Brouwersdam is technisch haalbaar, 3 December 2008, http://www.tudelft.nl/live/ServeBinary?id=f14ca197-7f0f-48d5-b6eef2035c446ccb&binary=/doc/Brouwersdam.pdf) or 600 million KWh (Intermediair, Stroom uit water door getijdencentrale, 18 July 2008, http://www.intermediair.nl/artikel/archief/63656/stroom-uit water-doorgetijdencentrale.html) (22-07-09). 27 Intermediair, Stroom uit water door getijdencentrale, 18 July 2008, http://www.intermediair.nl/artikel/archief/63656/stroom-uit water-door-getijdencentrale.html (22-07-09). 28 Total capacity of the project is 150MW, consisting of small renewable projects with a capacity between 2 and 20 MW on industry terrains and next to buildings. Two investment are already under construction: A solar panel park in Willebroek of 3 MW, and a wind farm in Saint Vith of 10 MW. 29 Delta press release, Delta NV en NPG Energysamen in groene stroom productie, 12 June 2009, http://www.delta.nl/web/show/id=51704/contentid=5610 (21-07-09). 30 Delta Annual Report 2008, p. 38, http://www.delta.nl/web/servlet/nl.gx.delta.client.http.GetFile?id=115740 (22-07- 09). 13
3 Dong Energy 3.1 Basic company information Dong Energy is an energy company that is majority owned by the Danish state. It was originally founded to manage the country’s energy resources in the North Sea, and the company has been active in the electricity sector since the early 2000s. 31 Currently, Dong Energy’s business is based on procuring, producing, distributing, and trading in energy and energy-related products in Northern Europe. 32 Dong has operations in Denmark, the Netherlands, UK Sweden, Norway and Germany. 33 Dong Energy’s activities are structured in four business units: Exploration & Production explores for and produces gas and oil in the North Sea, primarily in the areas around Denmark, the UK, the Faroer Islands, Greenland, and Norway; Generation is the unit in which all the company’s generation activities are located, primarily focussing on wind power and coal; Energy Markets is responsible for the company’s energy trading activities and the selling of energy to wholesale consumers; and Sales & Distribution sells gas, energy, and services to consumers in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. Dong Energy has approximately 5,500 employees and generated more than DKK 60 billion (€8.1billion) in revenue in 2008. Its activities in the Netherlands are currently only focused on energy supply, but the company has recently announced that it will construct a power plant in cooperation with Eneco. 3.2 Installed capacity and electricity generation in Europe Dong Energy provides detailed information about its generation facilities on its website and gives a breakdown of the various types of renewable fuel sources it uses. For the thermal facilities, the company makes the distinction between “central power stations” and “smallscale power stations” and does mention that most of the thermal generation comes from coal. 34 All of Dong Energy’s thermal facilities are located in Denmark. Its wind parks are located in Denmark, the UK, and France, while the company’s only hydro plant is located in Sweden. Figure 3 shows the fuel mix of Dong Energy’s generation capacity in Europe. 31 Wikipedia website, “Dong Energy”, last modified on 17-06-09, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DONG_Energy (14-07- 09). 32 Dong Annual Report 2008, http://www.dongenergy.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/%C3%85rsrapporter/%C3%85rsrapport_050309_UK_FIN AL.pdf (14-07-09). 33 Dong Energy’s response to a draft version of this profile, email received 29-07-09. 34 Ibid.
