France: Enedis commits €3.6 billion to its business strategy for modernizing the electric grid

Enedis is investing €3.6 billion in an ambitious strategy to modernize the French electric grid, enhance its climate resilience, and support the national industry.

Please share:

Enedis, the operator of the French electricity distribution network, is implementing a large-scale strategy to modernize its infrastructure in response to climate challenges. The company announced a €3.6 billion investment in electrical equipment, mostly produced in France, to meet the growing demands of the energy transition.

This plan is based on several strategic calls for tenders, including the largest in Enedis’ history, valued at over €2 billion over eight years. This contract will enable the production of 21,000 medium/low-voltage transformers annually from 2025, compared to 14,000 in 2022. Enedis also plans to install 15,000 public distribution substations from 2025, with an increase to 20,000 by 2027, for a total amount of €1 billion.

A driver of reindustrialization

Enedis’ strategy includes building 12 new production sites in France, generating 200 direct jobs. These sites will strengthen local industrial capabilities while contributing to the reindustrialization of the country.

In parallel, Enedis has programmed the annual installation of 15,000 kilometers of underground low-voltage cables, representing an investment of €600 million. This program aims to improve the grid’s resilience to climate-related risks, significantly exceeding the 10,000 kilometers laid in 2022.

Investments for the energy transition

Enedis’ overall plan, amounting to €96 billion by 2040, allocates €53 billion specifically to the energy transition. This envelope includes €10 billion dedicated to renewable energy integration and €7.5 billion for developing electric mobility.

The company is also investing in workforce training to anticipate future needs. In partnership with the French Ministry of Education, Enedis has already collaborated with over 150 high schools to develop specialized programs in vocational training and electrical network BTS degrees, training over 8,000 students to date.

A sustainable and solidarity-driven vision

Marianne Laigneau, Chairwoman of Enedis’ Executive Board, highlighted the strategic importance of these investments: they ensure a responsible energy transition while offering long-term support to French industrial partners. This project reflects a dual ambition: to reinforce energy sovereignty and modernize the grid sustainably and inclusively.
