A broad coalition of energy companies have written to Edward Davey Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change outlining real concerns about the Government's proposed 'Contracts for Difference' CFD proposal for subsidising new low carbon investments.

In December 1998 we were formed with the merger of Scottish Hydro Electric and Southern Electric.

We distribute electricity to 3.5 million homes and businesses across one third of the UK’s total land area.

We are the UK's second largest generation business, with a total capacity of just over 11,300MW.

Over the next 12 months, we will offer all our customers a energy review designed to ensure they are on the best product for their needs. This initiative will create 200 new jobs.
