Electricity: Capacity: 29.4 MW, Distribution: 220 TWh Position in the 2 nd largest power company after RWE with a market share of around 25% in domestic electricity terms of power generation. market Features Turnover: Eur 92.3 billion (E.ON energy's tumnover: Eur 13.0 billion) E.ON is a vertically integrated power company: Generation, Transmission, and Supply. E.ON Activities outside Germany: UK (Powergen), Sweden (Sydkraft), Denmark, Norway, Italy (Thilga & Contigas), electricity and gas distribution, Benelux (acquisition in 2000 of the Dutch generating company, EZH), Hungary (E.ON Hungaria), also in Poland, the Czech Republic, Lithuania... Additional remarks According to its strategy of focusing on its core energy business,E.ON have started its divestment program of its non-energy assets.
