Environmental Impact Information
The environmental impact information per kWh of electricity supplied under E.ON Next licences is provided below, calculated on the basis of figures provided by the BEIS (details of these can be found at the BEIS website).
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 at the BEIS 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 at the BEIS website).
