The E.ON Group aims to invest up to €3 billion between 2011 and 2013 on renewable generation and climate protection activities.

Our investment into renewable energy technology means we’re one of the leading green generators in the UK, with 21 wind farms located from Cambridgeshire to Kintyre. We also own and operate one of the UK’s largest dedicated biomass power stations at Lockerbie.
