What edf-re does

EDF Power Solutions is the Brazilian operating entity of Électricité de France (EDF Group), the world's largest electric utility serving 38.9 million customers globally. The company develops, builds, and operates renewable and low-carbon energy generation assets, electricity transmission infrastructure, and flexibility services. Its technology stack spans wind power, solar photovoltaic, hydropower, biomass, battery energy storage systems (BESS), pumped-storage hydropower (PSP), and hybrid low-carbon thermal generation, with approximately 2.1 GW of gross installed capacity in Brazil distributed across Bahia, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Paraíba, and approximately 31 GW worldwide across 25 countries.

The company monetizes primarily through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and customized energy self-production models (autoprodução) signed with large industrial consumers in Brazil's free energy market (mercado livre/ACL). Additional revenue streams include transmission infrastructure concessions (e.g., the Oiti Project, the EDF Group's first transmission venture in Brazil with investment exceeding R$ 220 million), O&M services for third-party generation assets, and retail energy market operations executed in partnership with Ecom Energia. Pricing is negotiated bilaterally through commercial proposals rather than published tariffs.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led enterprise field sales targeting corporate decarbonization buyers, complemented by a website-based commercial proposal request portal and participation in regulated transmission auctions. The company unified EDF Brasil and EDF Renewables do Brasil under the EDF Power Solutions brand in June 2025, consolidating its identity in Brazil. It has divested the Norte Fluminense Thermal Power Plant and acquired 75% of the 261 MW Dardanelos Hydroelectric Plant from Neoenergia, reflecting a deliberate portfolio shift toward low-carbon generation. Named enterprise customers include Vale Base Metals (mining) under a PPA for the Diana Wind Farm Phase 1 (142.5 MW).
