E.ON

==

Based in Düsseldorf, Germany, E.ON AG is the world's largest investor-owned power and gas company and is the largest among the 30 members of the DAX stock index of major German companies. It came into existence through the 2000 merger of VEBA and VIAG, and its chief executive officer (Vorstandsvorsitzender) is Wulf H. Bernotat.

E.ON is one of the major public utility companies in Europe, and the world’s largest investor-owned energy service provider.

E.ON is on track to transform itself from a conglomerate into a multi-utility.

In response to demands from environmentalists as well as Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California), chair of the Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works, the EPA made public a list of 44 "high hazard potential" coal waste dumps. The rating applies to sites at which a dam failure would most likely cause loss of human life, but does not include an assessment of the likelihood of such an event. E.ON owns 6 of the sites, all of which are located in Kentucky.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-3" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a>

The following table is derived from EPA's official list of Coal Combustion Residue (CCR) Surface Impoundments with High Hazard Potential Ratings.

On April 1, 2008, as part of the Fossil Fools International Day of Action, 30 activists with <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.eastsideclimateaction.org.uk/" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); padding-right: 13px; background: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAVElEQVR42n3PgQkAIAhEUXdqJ3dqJ3e6IoTPUSQcgj4EQ5IlUiLE0Jil3PECXhcHGBhZ8kg4hwxAu3MZeCGeyFnAXp4hqNQPnt7QL0nADpD6wHccLvnAKksq8iiaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) 100% 50% no-repeat;">Eastside Climate Action</a> blockaded the front entrance of E.ON's headquarters in Nottingham, England. Two people used U-locks to lock themselves to the front door, while others blockaded the back entrance; other protestors poured green paint on themselves, to simulate E.ON's "greenwashing". The action was in protest of E.ON's plans to build the Kingsnorth coal-fired power plant - the first new coal plant in the UK in 50 years. Police made two arrests, and the building was shut down for the day.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-5" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[5]</a><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-6" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[6]</a>

In September, 2008, E.ON suffered a humiliating defeat in its attempt to have six <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Greenpeace" title="Greenpeace" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Greenpeace</a> protesters convicted of criminal damage for painting a slogan on the coal-fired <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Kingsnorth_Power_Station" title="Kingsnorth Power Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Kingsnorth Power Station</a> in the United Kingdom. The six argued that they had a "lawful excuse" for their action in trying to prevent further damage to the global climate. The defendants called evidence from the world's leading climate scientist,<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/James_Hansen" title="James Hansen" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">James Hansen</a>, who argued that there should be a moratorium on new coal-fired power stations and a phase out of existing coal-fired power stations in the absence of carbon capture and storage of emissions. E.ON currently has plans for thirteen new coal-fired power stations across Europe. In March 2008, PR Week UK reported that E.ON UK had hired the PR firm <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Edelman" title="Edelman" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Edelman</a> to "counter opposition from green campaigners."<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-7" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[7]</a> In response to the jury's verdict E.ON UK stated that they were "surprised and disappointed" at the decision. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-8" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[8]</a>

On August 31, 2009, Climate Camp activists announced a planned action against the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Ratcliffe_Power_Station" title="Ratcliffe Power Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Ratcliffe coal-fired power plant</a> in central England. The protesters hope to shut down the plant in a mass protest scheduled for October 17 and 18, 2009. Activist Charlotte Johnson said, "We will shut Ratcliffe by land, water and air. People will break into the plant and occupy the chimney. Coal power stations must be shut permanently if we are to have any chance of stopping catastrophic climate change." A spokesman for E.ON said the company will work with police to ensure the plant remains in operation. Ratliffe ranks 18th on a list of the most polluting power plants in Europe in 2008.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-9" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[9]</a>

During the action, hundreds of protesters tried to break through a security fence surrounding the plant. Police arrested more than 50 activists.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-10" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[10]</a>

In October 2009, E.ON announced it was postponing plans to build a new coal plant at <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Kingsnorth_Power_Station" title="Kingsnorth Power Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Kingsnorth Power Station</a>. The company cited the economic downturn, but said that the plant could still be built if economic conditions become more favorable within the next two to three years.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-11" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[11]</a>

Out of its total 11,159 megawatts (MW) of U.S. electric generating capacity in 2005 (1.05% of the U.S. total), E.ON produces 74.8% from coal, 22.8% from natural gas, 1.4% from oil, and 1.0% from hydroelectricity. E.ON owns power plants in Kentucky and North Carolina; 97.8% of E.ON's U.S. power plants are in Kentucky.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-EIA-12" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[12]</a>

In 2006, E.ON's 11 major U.S. coal-fired power plants emitted 50.5 million tons of CO2 (0.8% of all U.S. CO2 emissions) and 187,000 tons of SO2 (1.2% of all U.S. SO2emissions).

According to long-range planning documents filed in mid-April 2011 with the Public Service Commission, <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/LG%26E_Energy" title="LG&E Energy" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">LG&E Energy</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Kentucky_Utilities_Company" title="Kentucky Utilities Company" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Kentucky Utilities Company</a> are making initial plans to retire coal-burning units at three aging power plants by 2016, including the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Cane_Run_Station" title="Cane Run Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Cane Run Station</a> in western Louisville, KU's <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Green_River_Generating_Station" title="Green River Generating Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Green River Generating Station</a> in Central City in Western Kentucky, and KU's <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Tyrone_Generating_Station" title="Tyrone Generating Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Tyrone Generating Station</a> in Versailles, which has already been mothballed temporarily. A <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/PPL" title="PPL" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">PPL</a> spokeswoman for the two companies, Chris Whelan, said: “This is not a final decision," calling the planning document “a snapshot in time” to keep state regulators up to speed on the company's long-range thinking. In all, 979 megawatts of coal-burning capacity would be retired in 2016, while the two utilities would add 2,721 megawatts from natural gas — though it's not clear yet where the new gas turbines would be. The utilities currently produce about 8,000 megawatts of electricity.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-15" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[15]</a>

In September 2011, LG&E said in filings with the Kentucky Public Service Commission that it plans to replace its Cane Run coal plant with a 640 MW natural gas-fired plant by 2016, to be built at the same site. LGE and Kentucky Utilities reportedly also asked the commission to approve the purchase of Bluegrass Generation Co’s 495 MW natural gas-fired power plant, to replace their <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Green_River_Generating_Station" title="Green River Generating Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Green River Generating Station</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Tyrone_Generating_Station" title="Tyrone Generating Station" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Tyrone Generating Station</a>.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-16" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[16]</a>

In November 2011, the EPA released a new set of data that revealed 181 “significant” hazard dams in 18 states - more than three times the 60 significant-hazard ponds listed in the original database released in 2009. In addition to the increase in the number of significant hazard-rated ponds, eight previously unrated coal ash ponds were found to be high hazard ponds in information released by the EPA earlier in 2011. Because of the switch in ratings after the EPA inspections, the total number of high hazard ponds has stayed roughly the same at a total of 47 ponds nationwide.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-hp-18" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[18]</a>

According to the National Inventory of Dams (NID) criteria, “high” hazard coal ash ponds are categorized as such because their failure will likely cause loss of human life. Six states that gained high hazard ponds include:<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/E.ON#cite_note-hp-18" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[18]</a>
