Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was created in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity distributors in France, merging them into a single state-owned entity. Local Distribution Companies (ELD) were not included in this movement. Until 2007, EDF held a monopoly over electricity supply to households in France, which changed with market liberalization.

EDF remains the historical electricity supplier in France and is currently the only company authorized to offer regulated electricity tariffs. The French State is its sole shareholder, following its delisting from Euronext Paris in June 2023.

Based in Paris, EDF operates internationally and employs approximately 191,000 people (2024). The company has 41.5 million customers worldwide and reported revenues of €118.7 billion in 2024.

EDF’s activities include the production, distribution, and supply of electricity and natural gas, mainly in France but also abroad. Its production portfolio is largely based on nuclear power, complemented by hydraulic, thermal, and renewable energy sources.

EDF also develops digital solutions for energy management, services to optimize consumption (such as connected tools for private individuals and businesses), and public lighting (e.g., CITELUM for municipalities).
