What EDP does

EDP, S.A. (Energias de Portugal) is a vertically integrated global energy company headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal. Founded in 1976 and listed on Euronext Lisbon, EDP generates, distributes, and supplies electricity primarily from renewable sources to nearly 9 million customers across four regions: Europe, North America, South America, and Asia-Pacific. The company serves three primary customer groups: residential customers (3+ million across Portugal, Spain, Brazil, and other markets), small and medium enterprises, and large multinational corporations. The renewable generation portfolio includes solar, wind, and hydroelectric assets totaling 32,757 MW of installed capacity, of which approximately 91% is from renewable sources, with a stated commitment to net zero by 2040.

EDP's core technology stack encompasses hybrid renewable energy systems that combine solar, wind, hydro, and storage at single grid connection points, 2.3 GW of pumped hydro storage with reversible group technology, floating solar PV (including the Alqueva facility, Europe's largest floating solar installation on a dam reservoir), and offshore floating wind through the Windfloat Atlantic project, the first floating offshore wind platform in continental Europe. The company operates 392,347 km of electricity distribution and transmission networks in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil, serving 12 million supply points. Digital infrastructure includes the EDP App for residential energy management with digital assistant features, the EDP Charge app for EV charging (175,000+ active users, 6,300+ public charging points), Open Data Portals exposing energy data, and 5G-enabled dam operations integrating IoT and augmented reality.

EDP generates revenue through six streams: wholesale renewable energy generation (capacity sold to wholesale markets and long-term contracts), retail energy supply (volume-based tariffs to 3+ million residential and SME customers), power purchase agreements (15+ GW contracted with Microsoft, Google, Bloomberg, Meta, Amazon, P&G, and Walmart), distributed solar installations (1.7 GWac serving 163,000+ residential and 4,000+ B2B customers), electric mobility charging, and regulated electricity networks with tariffs set by regulators in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. The 2026-2028 business plan targets €12 billion in gross investment and €5.2 billion in recurring EBITDA by 2028, up from €4.9-5.0 billion in 2025, with capital funded through a mix of operating cash flow, asset rotation proceeds, green bonds, and subordinated debt.

Scale indicators18 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Statkraft: Statkraft is the Norwegian state-owned hydropower-led renewable generator and Europe's largest generator of renewable energy. Comparable in scale and renewable mix to EDP, though primarily Nordic/European in geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Enel: Enel is a major Italian/global integrated utility with substantial renewable generation, regulated networks, and retail supply across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Operates Endesa in Iberia and Enel Green Power, directly competing with EDP in renewable energy procurement and PPA markets.
• Engie: Engie is a French global utility and EDP's offshore wind JV partner via Ocean Winds. Engie has comparable renewable generation, retail supply, and energy management businesses across Europe, Americas, and APAC, and competes directly with EDP Renewables for utility-scale projects.
• RWE: RWE is a German global utility and one of Europe's largest renewable operators following its Innogy integration. Operates offshore wind (with significant North Sea exposure), onshore wind and solar, competing with EDP Renewables for greenfield development and PPA opportunities globally.
• Brookfield Renewable Partners: Brookfield Renewable Partners is a global renewable yieldco with ~32 GW of operating capacity across hydro, wind, solar, and storage. Comparable to EDP Renewables in scale, technology mix, and PPA-driven business model across the Americas, Europe, and APAC.
• Ørsted: Ørsted is the Danish offshore wind leader and global renewable developer. Operates the world's largest offshore wind portfolio and competes with EDP/Ocean Winds for floating and fixed-bottom offshore wind tenders, particularly in Europe and APAC.
• Iberdrola: Iberdrola is the Spanish global renewable utility and EDP's most direct competitor — both are vertically integrated utilities with large Iberian renewable portfolios, regulated distribution networks, retail supply, and significant offshore wind exposure. Iberdrola's Avangrid and Neoenergia mirror EDP's NA and Brazil footprints.
• Acciona Energía: Acciona Energía is a Spanish global renewable pure-play with wind, solar, and storage across multiple continents. Direct competitor in Iberian renewable development, PPA origination, and APAC markets, with similar scale of installed MW.

Broad incumbents

• EDF (Électricité de France): EDF is the French state-backed integrated utility with significant nuclear baseload, renewables, and regulated networks. EDF competes with EDP in European retail supply and corporate PPAs, and is comparable as a large incumbent utility with a renewable transition pathway.
• NextEra Energy: NextEra Energy is the world's largest renewable operator (NextEra Energy Resources) and a major US regulated utility (FPL). Comparable to EDP in scale of renewable capacity and PPA procurement (Google, Facebook, AT&T), though US-focused rather than global.
