History
Vattenfall United Kingdom was established as Nuon Renewables in 2000. It was a United Kingdom based subsidiary of N.V. Nuon Energy. It has since built many wind farms which form a potential annual power generation total of eight hundred megawatts. They generate and distribute gas and electricity to millions of customers across the United Kingdom. After acquisition of N.V. Nuon Energy by Vattenfall it operated as an independent business unit. In January 2012 it was merged with Vattenfall's other assets in the United Kingdom and was renamed Vattenfall United Kingdom.
Projects
The company owns and operates many wind farms, some as small as their ten megawatt Parc Cynog wind farm, to others as large as their current project, a two-hundred and ninety-nine megawatt development in Pen y Cymoedd Wind Energy.
Current project
Nuon Renewables is currently considering building a wind farm of seven turbines at the RAF Harrington airfield.
