1 Introduction

This series of fact sheets is designed to investigate the Dutch power sector and 
raise public awareness about the sustainability of power companies operating in the 
Netherlands. The series consists of ten company fact sheets and four thematic fact 
sheets, for a total of 14. The ten company fact sheets focus on ten of the 
Netherlands' leading power companies: DELTA, Electrabel, Eneco, E.ON, Essent, 
Greenchoice, Nuon, Oxxio, RWE, and Windunie. For each company, the fact sheet 
will contain information on four measures of sustainability: the company's current 
fuel mix for installed electricity generation capacity in Europe, current fuel mix of 
electricity supplied in the Netherlands, investments in new generating capacity in 
Europe, and initiatives to encourage consumers to become more sustainable in their 
energy use by conserving energy and reducing overall use (demand-side initiatives) 
in the Netherlands. The thematic fact sheets focus on these same four areas and 
compare the ten companies' performance in each area. Information for the fact 
sheets has been gathered from news articles and databases; company sources such 
as websites, annual reports and CSR reports; and personal interviews with the 
companies. All of the companies were given and used the opportunity to review a 
draft of their fact sheet, provide comments, and correct any factual errors. Funding 
for the fact sheets was provided by Greenpeace. All fact sheets in this series are 
available on the SOMO website at www.somo.nl.
