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.[3]
In 2009, N.V. Nuon Energy was acquired by Vattenfall.[4] In January 2012, it was merged with Vattenfall's other assets in the United Kingdom and was renamed Vattenfall UK.[5]
In March 2020, Vattenfall UK sold its electric vehicle network to Statkraft and its supply side business, iSupply Energy, to EDF Energy.[6]
