Description of the offer

EDF Renewables is a world leader in renewable energy electricity. The company develops, builds and operates clean energy power plants in more than 20 countries both for our own account and for third parties.

Its development was initially focused on wind and solar photovoltaic power and is now actively expanding its capabilities in offshore wind power and energy storage. EDF Renewables operates mostly in Europe and North America and is continuing to grow by moving into promising emerging regions such as Brazil, China, India, South Africa, Middle East and South-East Asia.

In many of these regions, the renewable energy sector is undergoing rapid transformation, with a growing proportion of revenues originating from merchant markets, and this trend is particularly prominent in the field of energy storage.
