Electricité de France (EDF) is a major player in the French electricity market, involved in generation, transmission and distribution. Transformed into a majority state-owned public limited company in 2004, EDF covers all segments of the electricity sector. The Group's production is dominated by nuclear energy, making EDF the world leader in nuclear power generation, according to 2012 data.
EDF is organized around four major pillars:
1. Engineering: This department covers the design, construction and maintenance of power generation facilities. It is also involved in the development of products and services for the maintenance and modernization of power plants, thus ensuring the quality and safety of operations.
2. Power generation (Upstream): EDF's energy production is diversified and includes:
- Nuclear generation: The first of its kind in the world, with significant installed capacity, mainly in France.
- Thermal generation: Coal, gas and fuel oil are used to supplement nuclear power and meet variable demand.
- Hydropower: First type of renewable resource exploited by EDF in France.
- Other renewable energies: Biomass, wind, solar, marine and geothermal, managed by dedicated subsidiaries.
3. Energy trading: EDF Trading manages the purchase and sale of electricity, natural gas and fossil fuels, responding to fluctuations in demand and production.
4. Transmission and distribution (Downstream): Transports and distributes electricity to end consumers via subsidiaries RTE and ERDF. These regulated entities ensure neutral and fair distribution on the market, and are independent of EDF in terms of management.
In Europe, EDF also has distribution subsidiaries, such as EDF Energy in the UK and Edison in Italy, which operate in compliance with local regulations.
The sales of France's leading energy company break down as follows:
- Electricity and gas generation and sales: 66
- Network management: 23
- Services: 10%
News
Nuclear power: ways to finance France's €67 billion program 17/09/2024
- - Total estimated cost of the EPR2 program: 67.4 billion euros.
- - Expenditure already committed and planned by EDF: 3 billion euros spent up to the end of 2024, a further 2 billion planned in 2025, and 3 billion in 2026.
