EDF Profil

UK-based integrated energy company EDF Energy has operations spanning electricity generation and the sale of gas and electricity to homes and businesses throughout the United Kingdom. The company employs over 20,000 people and handles 5.7 million customer accounts. EDF Energy Customers (trading as EDF Energy) is wholly owned by the French state-owned – mehr... EDF SA and was formed in 2002 following the acquisition and mergers of SEEBOARD (formerly South Eastern Electricity Board), London Energy (formerly the London Electricity Board), SWEB Energy and two coal-fired power stations and a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station. In 2009, EDF Energy took control of the UK nuclear generator, British Energy, buying share capital from the government.
