Greenpeace Belgium

Ranking Electricity Suppliers

Each year, Greenpeace analyses about twenty electricity suppliers in terms of sustainability. They examine the origin of the electricity offered and the investment policy in green energy. At group level, Eneco scores 10 out of 20 points because of its growth in the business market in the Netherlands, where a relatively large amount of grey electricity is still purchased. On the other hand, Eneco Group invests 100% in solar and wind energy. Eneco Belgium achieves a higher score of 16 out of 20 due to its relatively high own energy production from wind and sun.
