Table 40 reflects <strong>the</strong> fuel mix of <strong>the</strong> electricity generated by <strong>the</strong> companies. It shows that<br />
newcomer Dong Energy has <strong>the</strong> highest percentage of electricity generated from renewables<br />
(25%), closely followed by Vattenfall / Nuon (24%). Interest<strong>in</strong>gly, Eneco only generated<br />
15.8% of its electricity from renewable sources, which is a much lower percentage than<br />
would be expected from its <strong>in</strong>stalled capacity (46.5%). Relative figures could not be<br />
calculated for Delta and GDF Suez / Electrabel s<strong>in</strong>ce no figures were available, or for RWE /<br />
