Annual-Report-And-Accounts-2019.Pdf Satisfying the changing needs of our customers Enabling the transition to a lower carbon future Annual Report and Accounts 2019 Group Snapshot Centrica plc is a leading international energy services and solutions provider focused on satisfying the changing needs of our customers and enabling the transition to a lower carbon future. The world of energy is changing rapidly and Centrica is now equipped to help customers transition to a lower carbon future, with capabilities and technologies to allow them to reduce their emissions. Therefore, we announced in July 2019 our intention to complete the shift towards the customer, by exiting oil and gas production. The Company’s two customer-facing divisions, Centrica Consumer and Centrica Business, are focused on their strengths of energy supply and its optimisation, and on services and solutions, with a continued strong focus on delivering high levels of customer service. Centrica is well placed to deliver for our customers, our shareholders and for society. We aim to be a good corporate citizen and an employer of choice. Technology is increasingly important in the delivery of energy and services to our customers. We are developing innovative products, offers and solutions, underpinned by investment in technology. We are targeting significant cost efficiency savings by 2022 to position Centrica as the lowest cost provider in its markets, consistent with our chosen brand positioning and propositions. Alongside our distinctive positions and capabilities, this will be a key enabler as we target delivering growth in adjusted earnings, cash flow and the dividend over the medium term.

We have reviewed the permit for this installation against the revised BAT Conclusions for large combustion plant published on 17th August 2017. This is our decision document, which explains the reasoning for the consolidated variation notice that we are issuing. It explains how we have reviewed and considered the techniques used by the Operator in the operation and control of the plant and activities of the installation. This review has been undertaken with reference to the decision made by the European Commission establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions (‘BAT Conclusions’) for large combustion plant as detailed in document reference IEDC-7-1. It is our record of our decision-making process and shows how we have taken into account all relevant factors in reaching our position. It also provides a justification for the inclusion of any specific conditions in the permit that are in addition to those included in our generic permit template.
