DONG Energy has decided to streamline its corporate structure by combining the business units Energy Markets and Sales & Distribution. The new business unit Customers & Markets will have approx. 1,600 employees and account for more than half of DONG Energy’s consolidated revenue.
Energy Markets is responsible for sourcing, trading and wholesale sales, while Sales & Distribution is responsible for sales to business customers and residential customers and for the operation of the Group’s distribution networks, gas storage facilities and oil pipeline. The merger will create a single, integrated business unit for DONG Energy's customer-facing and market-facing activities, under the name Customers & Markets.
The efforts to restructure the Group’s midstream gas activities will continue unchanged under the new business unit, with a view to these activities delivering a positive operating result in 2014.
In connection with the restructuring, total responsibility for the Group’s two gas-fired power stations in the UK and the Netherlands will be transferred to the business unit Thermal Power. Up to now, Energy Markets has been responsible for commercial optimisation of the two gas-fired power stations, while Thermal Power has been responsible for their operation.
