Vattenfall is one of the largest energy companies in Europe and supplies electricity and gas to households and businesses. The company is originally from Sweden and has been around since 1909. The name Vattenfall literally means “waterfall”, which refers to the company’s origins in hydropower. Over the years, Vattenfall has grown considerably and has become active in several countries, including the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom.

In the Netherlands, many people still know Vattenfall as Nuon. In 2009, Vattenfall took over Nuon and since 2019 the name has officially changed to Vattenfall. The company focuses strongly on sustainable energy and wants to be fossil-free within one generation. They invest a lot in wind and solar parks and are also working on hydrogen as an energy source.

A strong point of Vattenfall is that they invest a lot in green energy. They offer 100% green electricity from Dutch wind and sun. In addition, they have reliable customer service and various contracts, from fixed rates to flexible energy prices. For customers who want to generate their own energy with solar panels, Vattenfall also offers the possibility to supply electricity back.

Vattenfall is therefore an established name with a long history and a clear focus on sustainability.
