July 24, 2007- Moving to a low carbon economy whilst maintaining affordable and secure sources of energy represents the biggest challenge that the energy industry has faced. RWE npower is committed to developing strategies to ensure that it is able to play a leading role in minimising CO2 emissions in the future. If the UK Government's policy objectives are to be met the UK needs to build substantial amounts of new low carbon generating capacity and take advantage of every possible initiative to save energy and to use it as efficiently as possible.

RWE npower's fourth full CR report describes how these critical social and environmental challenges are being met, how the company performed against CR targets in 2006 and outlines plans for 2007 and beyond. The report is available online via http://www.reportalert.info/ra/Npower240707.htm.

The report includes a review of three issues identified as having a high degree of materiality for the company and a description of the actions the company is taking to address them. They are: the transition to a low carbon economy, relationships with customers and contribution to society.

RWE npower is a division of RWE AG. It is one of the UK's largest energy supply companies with more than 6.5million customers from the domestic and business sectors and a generating capacity of more than 10,000 MW. In 2007 RWE npower was awarded the highest performance rating of Platinum in the Business in the Community CR Index.
