Nottingham Energy company E.ON has announced it is creating 465 extra deaths at various sites in the developing world.
The deaths, which are mostly of the worlds poorest people, will be caused by its increasing commitment to burning highly CO2 producing coal.
The company, formerly known as Powergen, already contributes to the 170,000 people killed annual due to high CO2 levels.
Powergen created an extra 150 deaths in January 2007 after closing its ears to calls for reductions in its CO2 emissions.
Flatley Madd, human relations spokesperson for E.ON UK's retail division, said: "It's a real joy to be able to bring even more profits to our friends in the city.
"We're working hard with Nottingham's other employers to ensure we can attract as many local people as possible to wasteful energy use."
The German-owned utility company employs 17,000 people across the UK yet spends less than 1% of its profits on developing renewable energy.
