Vattenfall UK (formerly: Nuon Renewables) is a subsidiary of Vattenfall headquartered in London. It generates renewable energy, primarily through wind farms.

History

Vattenfall UK was established as Nuon Renewables in 2000. It was a United Kingdom-based subsidiary of N.V. Nuon Energy. It has built wind farms across the UK with a potential annual power generation total of eight hundred megawatts.

In 2009, N.V. Nuon Energy was acquired by Vattenfall. In January 2012, it was merged with Vattenfall's other assets in the United Kingdom and was renamed Vattenfall UK.

In March 2020, Vattenfall UK sold its electric vehicle network to Statkraft and its supply side business, iSupply Energy, to EDF Energy.
