EDF Renewables

In 1990, the Société Internationale d'Investissements Financiers – Énergies (SIIF Énergies) was created by Pâris Mouratoglou, a thermal and hydroelectric power plant development company. The firm in 1999 positioned itself in the renewable energy sector and in 2000, Pâris Mouratoglou sold 35% of SIIF Énergies to Électricité de France (EDF).{{Cite web|url=https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/energie-environnement/edf-s-affirme-comme-un-acteur-majeur-des-energies-renouvelables-a-l-international-557616.html|title=EDF s'affirme comme un acteur majeur des énergies renouvelables... à l'international|website=La Tribune|language=fr|access-date=2019-11-25}}

In 2002, EDF increased its stake in SIIF Énergies to 50%. Two years later, SIIF became EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN), while maintaining the same capital structure. EDF listed EDF Energies Nouvelles on the stock exchange in 2006. Pâris Mouratoglou retained a 25.1% stake of the capital at that time, while EDF held 50%, the balance being the free float on the stock market.

EDF Energies Nouvelles unlisted from the stock market on 15 August 2011, following EDF's buy-out of the remaining 50% stake from Pâris Mouratoglou and the free float, pushing EDF's stake in EDF Energies Nouvelles to 100%.{{Cite web|url=https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1086061/edf-completes-buyout-edf-energies-nouvelles|title=EDF completes buyout of EDF Energies Nouvelles|last=Dodd|first=Jan|website=www.windpowermonthly.com|access-date=2019-11-25}}{{Cite web|url=https://renewablesnow.com/news/french-stock-market-regulator-approves-edf-en-delisting-from-euronext-paris-141212/|title=French stock market regulator approves EDF EN delisting from Euronext Paris|website=Renewablesnow.com|language=en|access-date=2019-11-25}}

In 2012, the group increased its involvement in offshore wind energy and entered the markets of Poland, Israel, Morocco and South Africa. A year later, EDF Energies Nouvelles expanded into the Indian market. EDF Energies Nouvelles that year acquired the wind power business of Séchilienne-Sidec (now Albioma) for €59 million.{{Cite web|url=https://www.energymarketprice.com/energy-news/edf-energies-nouvelles-to-acquire-the-wind-energy-portfolio-of-sechilienne-sidec-in-france|title=EDF Energies Nouvelles to acquire the wind energy portfolio of Séchilienne Sidec in France|website=www.energymarketprice.com|access-date=2019-11-26}} The company entered Brazil and Chile in 2015.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/news/newsedf-wins-117-mw-in-brazil-auction-4741596/|title=EDF wins 117 MW in Brazil auction - NS Energy|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-26}}{{Cite web|url=https://solarbusinesshub.com/2015/04/15/marubeni-and-edf-enters-chilean-power-market-with-146-mw-solar-project/|title=Marubeni and EDF enter Chilean power market with 146 MW solar project {{!}} Solar Business Hub|last=Hub|first=Solar Business|date=2015-04-15|website=solarbusinesshub.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-26}}

Upon expanding into China in 2016, the company acquired an 80% stake in Hong Kong-based UPC Asia Wind Management, a company specialising in onshore wind power in China.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-12/edf-buys-80-stake-of-upc-awm-to-enter-chinese-wind-market|title=EDF Buys 80% Stake of UPC AWM to Enter Chinese Wind Market|last=|first=|date=12 July 2016|website=Bloomberg|access-date=}} This move was based on a strategy that saw increasing its wind capacity in China by working with Chinese partners on a project-by-project basis.

Wind power is EDF Renewables' main sector with 87% of its total installed capacity distributed mainly in Europe and North America. Wind power is EDF's main growth driver. As of June 2019, the group had a total of 12,468 MW gross in operation and 4,055 MW under construction in 22 countries.

EDF signed a supply contract with the Procter & Gamble Group in 2015 to supply wind power to its North American manufacturing sites. The 123 MW wind farm is expected to help P&G achieve their goal to reduce {{CO2}}-emissions by 30% by 2020.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/news/newsedf-to-supply-wind-power-for-procter-gambles-electricity-needs-201015-4697941/|title=EDF to supply wind power for Procter & Gamble's electricity needs - NS Energy|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-28}}

The group is a key player in offshore wind energy, with two offshore wind farms in Belgium (C-Power) and the United Kingdom (Teesside). In March 2019, EDF Renewables acquired stakes in two Chinese offshore projects, the Dongtai IV and V wind farms, that will be delivered in cooperation with Chinese power utility China Energy Investment Corporation (CEI) by 2021.{{Cite web|url=http://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1580184/edf-acquires-stake-chinese-offshore-projects|title=EDF acquires stake in Chinese-offshore projects|last=|first=|date=|website=Windpower Monthly|access-date=}}

In October 2022 in France, the price of electricity is subject to a tariff shield for the year 2022.The price of energy is at the center of concerns, especially as winter approaches. The tariff shield(new window) on energy provided for in the 2022 finance law and extended until the end of 2022 by the amending finance law, limits the increase in the regulated price of electricity to 4%. The law also provides for the freezing of the regulated gas tariff(new window) which must not exceed the October 2021 tariff.

To reach this 4% ceiling, the government has notably planned to lower the contribution to the public electricity service (CSPE), formerly the internal electricity tax (TICFE). This measure, provided for in article 29 of the finance law for 2022(new window), entered into force on February 1, 2022.

What is the impact of {{CO2}} quotas on the price of electricity?

The price of electricity is linked in particular to the quantity of carbon produced by the power stations. In Europe, energy producers must buy {{CO2}} emission rights in order to have the right to issue them on the emission quota trading market. The more the production of electricity emits {{CO2}}, the more the power station must buy allowances. Some French power stations, which produce electricity "in backup" to meet occasional needs (in winter for example), run on coal or gas.

When the price of the {{CO2}} emission quota increases (80 euros per tonne in December 2021, i.e. multiplied by 2.4 since January 2021), so does that of electricity. After the Russian invasion in Ukraine, the price per ton of {{CO2}} collapsed.

In March 2023, EDF Renewables subsidiary Eoliennes en Mer Marche Normandie and Maple Power of Canada were contracted to build and operate a 1 GW wind farm 32 km off the coast of Normandy.{{Cite web |last=Durakovic |first=Adnan |date=2023-03-27 |title=France Selects EDF and Maple Power to Build 1 GW Offshore Wind Farm |url=https://www.offshorewind.biz/2023/03/27/breaking-france-selects-edf-and-maple-power-to-build-1-gw-offshore-wind-farm/ |access-date=2025-03-19 |website=Offshore Wind |language=en-US}}
