Vattenfall is Europe’s 5th largest generator of electricity and the largest producer of heat. It operates throughout the electricity supply chain, from generation to bill.
Since the 1990′s Vattenfall has been acquiring and rebranding utilities across Europe – including the municipal utilities in Hamburg and Berlin, distribution companies in Finland and Poland and renewable power (mainly wind) companies, particularly in Great Britain.
In 2009 Vattenfall began a phased acquisition of the Dutch utility Nuon.
