Fuel mix disclosure reporting.
As required by the Electricity (Fuel Mix Disclosure) Regulations 2005, the tables below give a breakdown of the fuel sources for the electricity supplied under E.ON Next’s licences – the fuels we used to produce electricity for all residential, small business and corporate customers.
This shows the fuel sources of the electricity we supply for both our residential and business customers (we've also included the UK national average for comparison).
100% of the electricity used by our residential customers on our Next Gust1 and Next Drive2 tariffs is backed by 100% renewable sources.

3 Figures provided by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
Carbon dioxide emissions (g/kWh): The weighted average of the carbon dioxide emitted in the production of electricity from each fuel source. This is calculated on the basis of figures provided by BEIS (details of these can be found on the Government website).
Radioactive waste (g/kWh): The radioactive waste, being fuel burnt in the reactor to be subsequently discharged as spent fuel. This is calculated on the basis of figures provided by the BEIS (details of these can be found on the Government website).
