Who is EDF ?
EDF (Électricité de France) was created in 1946 through the nationalization of the French electricity sector. It is the historical electricity supplier in France and remains wholly owned by the French state as of 2024. EDF is headquartered in Paris and employs approximately 191,000 people worldwide, serving around 41.5 million customers (2024 figures).
EDF operates across the entire energy chain, including electricity generation, distribution, and supply. Its activities cover both nuclear and renewable energy sources, as well as the supply of natural gas. The company is active in residential, business, and municipal energy sectors, both in France and internationally.
EDF distinguishes itself as the exclusive supplier of regulated electricity tariffs in France. Despite the opening of the energy market to competition in 2007, it retains a significant share of French residential customers, particularly for regulated tariffs.
In addition to energy supply, EDF develops digital services for energy management and consumption monitoring for individuals, businesses, and local authorities. The company has withdrawn from the Euronext Paris stock exchange since June 2023 and is subject to full state control.
