Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was created in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity distributors by the French state. The company historically held a monopoly on electricity supply for households in France until the liberalization of the market in 2007.

EDF is a major supplier of both electricity and natural gas to residential and business clients across France. As of the end of 2024, it had approximately 23 million electricity customers and 2 million gas customers. EDF remains the only supplier authorized to offer the regulated electricity tariffs (set by public authorities).

EDF’s activities cover electricity production—primarily through nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable sources—as well as distribution, energy services, and support for energy efficiency (notably through tools like MES ECO & MOI for households and SUIVICONSO for businesses). The company also acts as a significant player in energy transition and management for cities via solutions such as CITELUM.
