Note: As energy company we provide electricity, heat, steam and water to our customers. In order to consider all process outputs and provide a more accurate representation of our total outputs, in 2005 we developed a methodology which has allowed us to calculate our data normalised by kWh equivalent. This methodology is available by request.
Prior to 2005 International Power presented all environmental data on a gross ownership basis. Since 2005 all data has been presented on a net ownership basis. The historical gross data is available here (PDF (78KB); opens in a new window).
