Essent is one of the largest energy suppliers in the Netherlands and supplies electricity and gas to private and business customers. The company was founded in 1999 after a merger of several regional energy companies and had a dominant position on the Dutch energy market for many years.
In 2009, Essent was acquired by the German energy company RWE, which later placed its sustainable activities in a separate branch, E.ON. As a result, Essent became part of E.ON and focuses primarily on the supply of energy and energy services.
Essent offers various energy products, including green electricity, gas and energy-efficient solutions such as solar panels, heat pumps and insulation. In addition, the company is responding to the energy transition by helping customers with sustainability and energy savings.
With a strong focus on sustainability and innovation, Essent is working towards a future in which renewable energy plays a greater role. The company competes with other major energy suppliers such as Vattenfall and Eneco and offers various contract types and rates to serve customers.
