Who is EDF ?

EDF (Électricité de France) is a French company created in 1946 following the nationalization of electricity suppliers in France. It is the historical electricity supplier and remains entirely owned by the French State. EDF is headquartered in Paris and operates internationally, serving 41.5 million customers as of 2024.

EDF is mainly active in the production, transport, distribution, and supply of electricity, as well as the supply of natural gas. Its activities include large-scale nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable energy generation, network maintenance, and energy services for individuals, businesses, and public authorities.

Only EDF can provide the regulated electricity sales tariff (Tarif Réglementé de Vente) in most of France, a status inherited from its role as the historical supplier. As of June 2025, EDF supplied approximately 69% of French residential sites, according to the CRE market observatory.
