City Energy Transformation

Improving lives by transforming the cities and communities we live in. See how we work in partnership to make net zero happen.

Reaching net zero carbon, together.

Imagine your city tackling the growing climate emergency, while also becoming a better place to live, learn and work. If you need to create and deliver your city energy transformation to achieve net zero carbon, at pace and at scale, we can help.

From engaging your community, to finding new sources of revenue and funding, to design, build and operation, we’ll work in partnership, with shared ambitions, principles and objectives.

E.ON is committed to carbon neutrality by 2040, so we’re on the very same journey ourselves.

A journey to net zero

Our experience transforming cities

We’ve been partnering with cities and regions across the UK and Europe for more than thirty years to support them in reaching their sustainable energy and net zero targets, providing expertise, resources, technical solutions and access to funding.

We've invested £3.3bn in the onshore & offshore wind energy industry in the last ten years, as well as £600m in domestic energy efficiency funding, £215m in major bio-energy projects and £75m in city energy solutions in the UK alone.

Between 2017 and 2019 we invested £470m in smart energy systems in Sweden, including Hyllie in Malmö, a flagship sustainable city district.

Here’s just a few of our projects.

Be rewarded with Vehicle-to-Grid charging

We're partnering with Nissan to bring vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging technology to fleet vehicles across the UK.

V2G allows Nissan electric vehicles to feed energy from their batteries back into the grid at times of high demand, putting us all one step closer to meeting the Government's net zero targets and creating savings for the customer.

To find out more about V2G and how you can be rewarded by taking part in our trial, visit our vehicle-to-grid page.
