Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was founded in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity distributors in France. Its creation unified almost all electricity suppliers into a single entity, with local distribution companies remaining separate. EDF is the historical electricity supplier in France and is currently 100% owned by the French State.

EDF’s principal activities are the production, distribution, and supply of electricity and gas. The company operates globally, with 41.5 million customers worldwide as of 2024, and reported revenues of €118.7 billion in 2024. EDF manages electricity generation, primarily from nuclear and renewable sources, and offers energy services to residential and professional clients.

A key feature distinguishing EDF is its exclusive right in France to supply regulated electricity tariffs. The company is also involved in improving energy consumption management for individuals, businesses, and local authorities, notably through digital tools and support services.
