EDF profile

About EDF Group

EDF Group is a major player in the European energy industry - and a significant business in itself. Across the globe, there are more than 160,000 people working for us, and we get involved in every area of the electricity chain: from generation to trading.

We're more than just a traditional energy company, however. We don't just talk about alternative sources of energy - we actively explore them. Around the world, we're undertaking bold initiatives; developing proactive projects; and investing heavily in tomorrow's energies.

Leading the way in nuclear energy

The current balance of energy sources simply isn't sustainable. Everyone knows it. But we want to do something about it. This is why we're exploring and expanding our involvement in clean, safe and efficient nuclear power generation.

We are, in fact, the world's largest generator in this area. We've built 67 Nuclear Power Plants in France alone, and also helped construct, commission and operate some of the first plants in China and South Africa. Quite simply, no one can match our engineers' expertise and experience.

What does the future have in store?

The future is brimming with potential for us. Right now, we're engaged in a major programme of development, design and decommissioning in France. We're also focusing on building new reactors in the UK, the USA and China. Nuclear power has the potential to play a huge part in the future of energy. We intend to lead the way.
