Dusseldorf-based E.ON, which owns more than 60GW of generating capacity, is in the process of a major strategic overhaul, going from a fairly old-fashioned European energy utility to what it calls a “global, specialized provider of energy solutions”.
As part of that overhaul, E.ON has been making regular investments into US clean-tech start-ups of late, many of them based in and around San Francisco.
