Well, where do we start? We may be famous for supplying electricity and gas to business and domestic customers, but there’s a lot more to us than that.
We operate one of the largest and most diverse portfolios of power generating plants in the UK. It includes coal, oil and gas-fired power stations, as well as renewables facilities such as wind farms and hydroelectric power stations. Not only have these assets enabled us to supply more than 10% of the electricity used last year in England and Wales, they have helped us establish ourselves as the UK leaders in renewable energy generation.
One example of our commitment to creating renewable energy is our pioneering clean electricity product - Juice. A first in the UK, npower Juice enables customers to obtain electricity from clearly identified renewable resources at no extra cost. It has also helped speed up the development of Britain’s first major offshore wind farm, off the coast of North Wales, which started generating clean electricity in November 2003.
We are also the exclusive supplier of green energy to the new Wembley Stadium. And in October 2004 we signed the world’s largest green energy deal with BT, providing them with the equivalent yearly energy needed for more than 210,000 homes.
