Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was created in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity distributors in France. It is currently fully owned by the French State and is headquartered in Paris. As of 2024, EDF employs 191,444 people worldwide and serves approximately 41.5 million customers in multiple countries.

Historically, EDF held a monopoly on electricity supply to individuals in France until the energy market was opened to competition in 2007. Today, EDF remains France's main electricity supplier and is the only company authorized to offer regulated electricity tariffs ("tarifs réglementés de vente").

EDF’s main activities include the production, distribution, and supply of electricity and natural gas. Its energy mix relies primarily on nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable sources. The company also manages grid infrastructure and offers tools for monitoring and optimizing consumption for individuals, businesses, and local authorities.
