Eneco is a Dutch utility company owned by 61 Dutch municipalities. The group has over 6,000 employees and around two million customers, with sales of 27,457 GWh of electricity, 5,914 million m³ of gas and 11,350 TJ of heat (as of 2011).

In 2009, Eneco took over parts of the insolvent Econcern Group.

In 2017, Eneco took over 50% of Lichtblick , and in 2018 another 50%.

In 2017 it became known that Eneco would be privatized. "The oil companies Shell and Total are traded as potential buyers , but the names of the financial investors HAL and CVC Capital Partners , the pension fund PGGM and the utility companies Engie und Verbund AG are making the rounds as potential buyers," wrote the Energate industry agency on January 18, 2018 As a result, there was a major conflict in the company "because the communal shareholders accuse the Eneco board of intervening in the sales process with guarantees about the green corporate orientation and job security and damaging it". In the spring of 2018, according to Energate, the long-standing company boss Jeroen de Haas, who had campaigned for the guarantees, left the company. Even a mediator could not resolve the conflict.

A Japanese consortium consisting of the Mitsubishi technology group and the third-largest Japanese electricity provider Chubu was ultimately awarded the contract in the sales process. The sales price is expected to be 4.1 billion euros. On March 25, 2020, Eneco was effectively taken over by Mitsubishi Corporation (80%) and Chubu Electric Power Co (20%).
