As Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity we’re busy building Britain’s own wind, nuclear and solar energy supply to reduce our reliance on energy imports and help prevent future price rises.
25 years ago EDF embarked on its journey to become a long-term partner to Britain. It all started with the purchase of London Electricity on 30 November 1998. Since then we’ve launched ground-breaking projects, forged important partnerships and pioneered innovative technology, all to save customers cash and carbon and help Britain achieve Net Zero.
Countries using renewable technologies, such as wind and solar, alongside low-carbon nuclear have successfully cut their emissions. We're committed to investing in them all.
Investing in renewablesWe have an operational portfolio of 36 wind farms – including two offshore wind farms – and we have an ambitious vision for solar and battery storage. |
Investing in nuclearEDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites like Sizewell C, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. |
Generating electricityBy generating zero carbon electricity from wind, nuclear and solar we can power the nation, whatever the weather, while creating a balanced energy mix. |
Join us as a graduate, degree apprentice or placement student, and help the UK on the journey to net zero as we expand Britain’s supply of wind, nuclear and solar energy.
“The energy industry appealed to me because it’s an industry where my actions matter and I have responsibilities. An apprenticeship with EDF provides me with the opportunity to gain a fantastic degree as well as work experience and be part of a great team working together towards the future of energy.”
Max Bosley, Nuclear Engineering Degree Apprentice
“The best thing about working for EDF is the amount that you learn from all of the experts in the nuclear industry. Nobody knows nuclear power in the UK like EDF, and I’ve learned so much during my placements. Plus, my job is always a conversation starter!”
Jenny Upton, Commissioning Engineer
