Eneco headquarters are located in Rotterdam. It also carries out energy trading and is involved in sustainable energy projects.

On 8 January 2010 the United Kingdom Crown Estate awarded Eneco New Energy the Zone 7 offshore wind farm licence for UK waters. This gave the company exclusive rights to create a 900 MW offshore wind farm (Navitus Bay) off the west coast of the Isle of Wight.[2][3][4]
In December 2016, the company was awarded the Borssele 3 and 4 project, along with consortium partners Shell, Van Oord, and Mitsubishi/DGE. It was obtained for the lowest-ever strike price at the time (54.50 euro cents per megawatt-hour).[5]
The company was 100% owned by the local governments of the Netherlands. On 25 March 2020, Eneco Groep NV announced that the acquisition by a joint venture, jointly owned by the Japanese companies Mitsubishi Corporation (80%) and Chubu Electric Power (20%), was completed. The group installed a new board of directors following the acquisition.[6]
