EDF Energy

As Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity (1) we’re busy building Britain’s own wind , nuclear and solar energy supply to reduce our reliance on energy imports and help prevent future price rises. EDF and the UK Government have signed the Heads of Terms for a Contract for Difference (CfD) agreement which will extend the life of Sizewell B in Suffolk, likely to secure safe and clean power generation and 900 jobs for longer. EDF has today launched its Heatwave Relief Packs, a new £1 million initiative to help vulnerable customers stay safe and comfortable during periods of extreme summer heat. EDF has launched a new Low Standing Charge Trial to help customers save money on their bills. Countries using renewable technologies, such as wind and solar , alongside low-carbon nuclear have successfully cut their emissions. We're committed to investing in them all. By generating zero carbon electricity from wind, nuclear and solar we can power the nation, whatever the weather, while creating a balanced energy mix .

UK Fuel Mix disclosure information published by Government Department DESNZ") (PDF, 173 KB), recognises electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation. The zero-carbon electricity purchased is supplied to the National Grid. Customers receive electricity via the National Grid, not directly from zero-carbon generators. The below table summarises zero-carbon generation by company demonstrating EDF generating 17%. The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.
