Beginning with its formation from 1955-1999, Nuon was formed with the merger of several smaller regional companies operating in the Netherlands. The yellow and purple logo and car design was also introduced during this time. The period between 2000 and 2003 brought a more complete integration between the companies, expansion into other countries, including Germany, an agreement between Nuon and Natuurmonumenten to encourage sustainable energy throughout the Netherlands, and participation in the 2001 World Solar Challenge. In 2004, the company also entered the Belgian market, acquired and integrated Reliant Energy Netherlands, ceased investing in activities which were not directly related to energy, and put an emphasis on streamlining operation processes.[2]
On July 1, 2009, Nuon became part of the Vattenfall Group, forming Vattenfall’s latest business group, Benelux[1].
