Western Power Distribution
 PROFILE
Western Power Distribution (WPD) spreads energy around South West England and has moved into Wales. The company's electricity distribution network serves 1.4 million customers. WPD owns Welsh multi-utility Hyder, which distributes electricity to 1 million customers and provides water and wastewater services to 3 million customers. Although facing UK regulatory concerns, WPD has offered to sell Hyder's nonregulated water and wastewater businesses to United Utilities and its regulated water business (Welsh Water) to Welsh group Glas Cymru. Created in 1999 when the former SWEB Holdings separated its power supply and distribution businesses, WPD is a joint venture of Mirant (formerly Southern Energy) and PPL.
