Introduction Aim and context of the fact sheet series This 2010 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 2010 fact sheet series is the annual update that is going into its fourth year, and builds on the work from previous years (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. For the first time this year, Essent is fully incorporated in the RWE company profile. SPE, a company covered for the first time, is included in the company profile of its owner EdF. The Vattenfall and Nuon fact sheets were drafted and reviewed separately, and combined into one company profile afterwards. In total, the 2010 series consist of ten company fact sheets; Delta, Dong Energy, E.ON, EdF/SPE, Eneco, Enel, Gdf Suez/Electrabel, Iberdrola, Nuon/Vattenfall and RWE. The company fact sheets form the basis of three separate reports, covering companies active in 1) The Netherlands, 2) Belgium, and an overview of 3) the largest European companies. This report is the version for The Netherlands, and covers the following companies, all active on the Dutch market; - Delta - Dong Energy - E.ON - Eneco - GDF Suez/Electrabel - RWE - Vattenfall/Nuon Report structure After this brief introduction, Chapters 1-8 comprise the ten company fact sheets. Each company fact sheet contains information on four measures of sustainability: the company's current fuel mix for installed capacity and electricity generation in Europe, current fuel mix of electricity supplied in the Netherlands (or Belgium), investments in new generating capacity in Europe, and the socio-economic impacts of the company, with a specific focus on issues present in their supply chains (eg. The sourcing of coal, uranium or biomass). The four thematic fact sheets found in Chapters 9-12 focus on these same four areas and compare the eight companies' performance in each area.
