What Dalkia EDF Group does

Dalkia Energy Solutions is the U.S. operating division of Dalkia, itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDF Group (Électricité de France), one of the world's largest electric utilities. The U.S. entity was formally launched in October 2019 with headquarters in Beverly, Massachusetts and an engineering/CHP manufacturing site in Holyoke, MA, absorbing the legacy Dalkia Aegis CHP business. The company provides on-site generation and energy-savings solutions — primarily Combined Heat & Power (CHP) using natural gas or propane-fired reciprocating engines with heat recovery, LED lighting and controls, refrigeration and VFD upgrades, digital building energy management, chiller plant optimization, solar + storage, retail energy supply via EDF Energy Services, and indoor air quality via the DalkiaQ/75F partnership — to commercial, industrial, and institutional customers across healthcare, education, hospitality, multi-unit residential, military, commercial office, industrial manufacturing, and recreational facilities.

The company operates under a vertically integrated business model spanning project design and turnkey installation, ongoing managed operations and maintenance from a centralized Network Operations Center, and long-term performance-based contracting. Its flagship commercial mechanism is the Shared Savings Agreement — typically 15 years — in which Dalkia installs and owns on-site generation assets at no upfront capital to the client, who purchases the on-site energy at a discount to prevailing utility rates and shares the savings. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales supported by a nationally distributed project management team, complemented by channel relationships with utilities (Eversource/Mass Save, NYSERDA, Con Edison, KeySpan, NStar, Yankee Gas), state grant programs (Pennsylvania Green Energy Works!, Connecticut EIA), and EDF affiliates for retail supply and solar. Customers span enterprise anchor accounts (Great Wolf Lodge 18 properties, Atria Senior Living 125 LED projects across 26 states, Equity Residential, HP Hood, Pinnacle Foods, CVS Distribution, Maine Army National Guard) and mid-market / MUSH / affordable housing projects (New Haven Public Schools, New Bedford Housing Authority, Omni New York). Dalkia claims 1,000+ CHP systems installed via Dalkia Aegis and 1,000+ chiller projects over 20+ years; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
