Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was founded in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity distributors in France. The French state is its sole shareholder as of 2024. The company is headquartered in Paris and has approximately 41.5 million customers worldwide.

Historically the main electricity supplier in France, EDF maintained a monopoly on electricity supply to households until the market opened to competition in 2007. It remains the only supplier in France authorized to provide regulated electricity tariffs, and serves the majority of residential customers.

EDF is active in electricity and natural gas supply for individuals and professionals. Its activities encompass electricity generation (notably nuclear and renewables), distribution, trading, and energy-related services such as consumption management and support for municipalities in public lighting.
