5.3 Electricity supplied in the Netherlands
Unlike the other companies in this fact sheet series, E.ON does not release any figures on
electricity supplied only in the Netherlands. As a result, the figures for electricity supplied in
this section are for E.ON Benelux, meaning that they represent the consolidated figures of
electricity supplied throughout the Benelux region (i.e. Belgium, the Netherlands, and
Luxemburg). It is likely, however, that the company’s supply in the Netherlands is similar in
fuel mix to its consolidated Benelux supply. Figure 10 shows the fuel mix of energy supplied
by E.ON Benelux in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg. Table 15 presents the CO 2

It should be noted that no figures were available about the amount of electricity generated by the Climate &
Renewables business unit in Europe. The figures given here also include the business unit’s operations in North
America.
