EDF announced the creation of a new entity named EDF power solutions, resulting from the merger between EDF Renouvelables and the International Division of the EDF group. This initiative aims to enhance the visibility and operational efficiency of EDF’s international activities in the low-carbon energy sector. EDF power solutions is managed by Béatrice Buffon, EDF Group Executive Director responsible for this new organisation. This restructuring is part of EDF’s strategic project “Ambitions 2035”, outlining the group’s medium and long-term direction.

Diversified global portfolio

EDF power solutions currently manages a portfolio of operational generation assets totalling 31 GW gross across several global regions. This new entity leverages combined expertise from EDF Renouvelables and the International Division, particularly regarding technological, commercial, and geographical synergies. EDF power solutions develops integrated offers combining multiple technologies to optimise decarbonisation and energy efficiency of local electrical systems. The portfolio encompasses diverse energy sources including wind, solar, hydropower, and biomass.

EDF power solutions employs approximately 10,000 people across 25 countries. The offered services also include technical solutions designed to strengthen the flexibility and resilience of local electricity networks, such as battery storage, Pumped Storage Power Stations (PSPS), as well as hybrid and low-carbon thermal installations. This new structure responds to the increasing demand for local energy solutions, including mini-grids, electric mobility, and distributed systems combining solar power and storage.

Compliance with international standards

EDF power solutions’ policy includes systematically applying the highest international standards in health and safety. The company also commits to integrating environmental and social criteria from the earliest project design phases. This process aims to sustainably manage impacts throughout the operational lifecycle of assets developed by EDF power solutions. This approach aligns with the existing practices within the EDF group.

In a statement, Béatrice Buffon said: “The creation of EDF power solutions is a major step towards enhancing the visibility and ambition of the EDF group, the world’s leading low-carbon electricity company. By combining the strengths of EDF’s International Division and EDF Renouvelables, EDF positions itself to become a benchmark player in the energy transition within the countries it operates, serving its clients and generating value for local electrical systems.”
