Every year we must publish details of the fuel sources that have been used to generate the electricity we supply to our customers.

We update the below table to show how much (%) of the energy we’ve purchased and supplied to our customers has come from each of the major energy sources in the previous year (between April and March). We also include the carbon emissions associated with its generation, and show how our fuel mix compares to the UK average fuel mix.

Our customers’ electricity is sourced from our own UK power stations, the wholesale energy market and other independent power generators. We are a major supporter of independent renewable generators.

The information in the table below covers our supply licence for EDF Energy Customers Ltd for the period from April 2022 to March 2023.
