Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was created in 1946 when the French government nationalized several electricity distributors to form a single entity. The company retained a monopoly on electricity supply to French households until 2007, when the electricity and gas markets opened to competition.

EDF remains the historic electricity supplier in France and is the only company authorized to provide regulated electricity tariffs. Its activities cover electricity and gas supply for both residential and professional customers. EDF is also involved in energy production and the development of low-carbon and renewable energy sources.

As of December 2024, EDF serves approximately 23 million electricity customers and about 2 million gas customers. Nearly 70% of residential sites are clients, and 55% of households are still on the regulated electricity tariff provided by EDF or local distribution companies.
