Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) was established in 1946 following the nationalization of France's electricity distributors. EDF became the central entity responsible for electricity production and supply in France, except for a few local entities (ELD) that remained outside this integration.

Until 2007, EDF and the ELD held a monopoly on supplying electricity to households in France. Currently, EDF is recognized as the historical supplier of electricity and is uniquely authorized to provide regulated electricity tariffs in France.

The company is active in the production, distribution, and supply of electricity and natural gas to residential and business customers. Its activities extend into renewable energy generation, energy efficiency services, and the implementation of tools for monitoring and optimizing energy consumption for individuals, businesses, and municipalities.

As of the end of 2024, EDF supplied electricity to nearly 23 million clients and gas to approximately 2 million customers in France, accounting for nearly 70% of all residential electricity sites.
