E.ON SE is a Germany-based energy company focused primarily on electricity and gas networks, energy retailing, and customer solutions. Through its Energy Networks and Customer Solutions businesses, the company operates and manages distribution infrastructure and supplies electricity, natural gas, and related energy services to households, businesses, and public-sector customers.
E.ON also provides solutions designed to support the energy transition, including energy efficiency services, decentralized energy systems, electric-vehicle charging, and other services related to distributed and lower-carbon energy use. Its network operations are concentrated in Europe, with Germany serving as its largest market and additional activities in countries including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, and several Central and Eastern European markets.
The company was created in 2000 through the merger of VEBA and VIAG. In subsequent years, E.ON reshaped its business by separating much of its conventional generation and energy trading operations, including the 2016 spin-off of Uniper, and by acquiring Innogy’s renewable energy, networks, and retail operations from RWE. E.ON is headquartered in Essen, Germany, and is led by Chief Executive Officer Leonhard Birnbaum.
