Sustainability in the Dutch Power Sector Fact Sheet Series- Update 2009 1 Introduction 1.1 Aim and context of the fact sheet series This 2009 series of power company and thematic fact sheets aims to raise public awareness about sustainability issues in the electricity sector and to improve the sustainability of power companies operating in the Netherlands. The fact sheet series investigates the companies' performance on incorporating renewable energy sources into their fuel mix for both generation and supply of electricity, and on their investments and future plans with respect to energy sources at both the Dutch and European level. The 2009 fact sheet series builds on SOMO's 2008 report "Sustainability in the Dutch Power Sector" (available at www.somo.nl), but includes a slightly different range of companies due to a number of recent and pending mergers and acquisitions among power companies with operations in the Netherlands. Three pairs of companies (GDF Suez / Electrabel, RWE / Essent, and Vattenfall / Nuon) are combined into three fact sheets instead of being investigated separately in six fact sheets (although the RWE / Essent and Vattenfall / Nuon combined company fact sheets do present information for both corporate entities). The 2009 series thus consists of seven company fact sheets on Delta, Dong, Eneco, E. ON, GDF Suez / Electrabel, RWE / Essent, and Vattenfall / Nuon, as well as four thematic fact sheets, for a total of 11 fact sheets. Three companies that were included in the 2008 report have not been included in the 2009 version: Greenchoice, Windunie and Oxxio. However, it should be noted that SOMO's 2008 report indicates that Greenchoice and Windunie score high in the sustainability criteria addressed here.
