About Eneco
Eneco is an integrated, independent and growing international energy company. We operate in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Eneco's head office is located in Rotterdam. Based on our mission ‘everyone’s sustainable energy’, we help consumers and companies switch to sustainable energy.
Our history
We have been active in the energy sector for over 100 years. Eneco's roots go back to the 19th century. At that time, gas and electricity were produced on a 'large' scale for the first time and local energy companies were established. These local energy companies grew larger and merged in the 20th century. After a history of cooperation and mergers between the municipal utility companies of Rotterdam, The Hague and Dordrecht, the current Eneco was created in 1995.
Our locations
With Eneco, we operate in several countries. We have locations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK. See our other locations outside the Netherlands here:
Our strategy
Eneco wants to accelerate the energy transition. This is desperately needed, because global warming is happening faster than expected. We feel it is our responsibility to be a leader in this field. Our ambition is to become climate neutral in 2035. In our own activities and in the energy we supply to our customers. We believe it is necessary and we believe it can be done. Our three strategic pillars - customers, sustainable generation and integration - are aimed at making this acceleration a reality.
