DCC is a customer-focused energy partner. As a leading seller, marketer and distributor of multi-energy solutions, we provide secure, cleaner and competitive energy to our customers. We have leading market positions across 12 countries. We operate across two complementary businesses: Solutions and Mobility.
What we do
ENERGY PRODUCTS: 68% EBITA
LIQUID GAS, FUELS & BIO, GRID GAS AND POWER
We sell and distribute liquid gas, fuels and biofuels to commercial and industrial (C&I), and domestic customers. We sell mainly to customers off the gas grid with intense energy needs for manufacturing processes, to run machinery and for space heating. We don't produce energy ourselves; we partner with refiners.
ENERGY SERVICES: 9% EBITA
SOLAR AND OTHER ENERGY SERVICES
We design, install and maintain solar PV and other energy systems, provide Solar-as-a-Service financing and help C&I customers optimise energy usage through metering, battery storage and energy efficiency consulting.
Mobility: 23% EBITA
SERVICE STATIONS, FLEET AND CARD SERVICES
We own or operate service stations (gas stations) for vehicles and refuelling sites for trucks. We are also growing our fleet service business in fuel/electric vehicle cards, telematics and digital truck parking services.
OUR STRUCTURE
We have two operating businesses in energy: Solutions and Mobility.
Solutions
1.5m direct customers plus 6.6m cylinder customers
We manage Solutions across four geographic regions, each with its own Managing Director. This facilitates closeness to our customers across our Energy Products and Services areas where we engage on customer sites. Our regional teams have deep market knowledge and customer insights.
Mobility
1.8m customers
We manage our service stations and fleet services business across the UK & Ireland, Continental Europe and the Nordics as one business with a sole Managing Director and management team.

WHY ENERGY IS ATTRACTIVE: SCALE ORGANIC AND M&A OPPORTUNITY IN ENERGY SERVICES
Consolidate fast-growing commercial and industrial solar power self-generation in Europe
Solar photovoltaic (PV) share of EU power market
7%
2012: only 2%
2002: 0.1%
Solar PV share of 10%+ by 2030 is possible
Why we like solar electric power self-generation:
Solar self-generation growth drivers:
- Electric power demand will grow
- Solar market share of power market to keep growing rapidly : 5-7% growth expected to 2028
- C&I share of solar mix to grow
We now have new capability to retain our products customers if they can shift to less intensive energy
New revenue streams from cross-selling e.g. maintenance, battery storage, energy efficiency services

How we're fuelling decarbonisation
We are reducing the carbon intensity in the fossil fuels we sell to our customers by accelerating our bio rollout. Biofuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) are a key element of our DCC Energy strategy out to 2030. Take a look at what's happening in the development of biofuels and renewable gases.
BIO IN ACTION
HVO ROLLOUT GATHERS PACE
Waste oil gets a second life as biofuel and helps energy users move away from fossil fuels with ease. Orla Stevens of Certa Ireland and Claus Geisler Madsen of DCC Energi Denmark tell more.
FIVE BIOFUEL MYTHS DEBUNKED
Biofuels like HVO help energy consumers reduce their carbon footprint. Yet myths persist. We unpick five misconceptions about the renewable fuel.
DCC Energy in action
Powering Ireland’s favourite attractions
Multi-year energy partnerships with Electric Picnic and Emerald Park show how Flogas is offering step-change solutions.
We're more than just a propane provider
After relocating to the US, Reena Mistry tells how she’s enjoying the challenge of working for a growth-minded organisation like DCC Propane – and growing alongside it.
Solar as a Service: self-generated power made easy
Businesses are facing unprecedented energy challenges. Volatile prices and pressure to meet sustainability targets are squeezing margins and creating uncertainty.
Our Energy Management Services network Wewise is growing
More and more businesses are going over to solar power. As one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies, solar is playing a significant role in the global energy transition.
