Who is EDF ?
EDF (Électricité de France) is a French energy group established in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity distributors by the French state. It served as the historic electricity supplier across most of France, maintaining this role until the national market's liberalization in 2007. Local Distribution Companies (ELD) were not included in the nationalization and continue to operate independently in certain regions.
EDF is chiefly involved in electricity generation, distribution, and supply. It is also active in natural gas supply. The company manages a major part of France’s electricity production, notably operating the country's large nuclear fleet, as well as significant hydropower and renewable energy assets. EDF also develops energy efficiency services for residential, business, and local government clients.
Headquartered in Paris, EDF is wholly owned by the French state and has around 191,000 employees worldwide as of 2024. The group serves approximately 41.5 million customers globally. In addition to its activities in France, EDF is present in other countries through its subsidiaries and international projects.
