EDF, world leader in low-carbon electricity generation
Transcript
EDF Group Energy Mix in 2022
- Nuclear: 76%
- Combined cycle gaz and cogeneration: 8.5%
- Fuel: 0.4%
- Coal: 1.2%
- Renewable energies: 13.9% (incl. hydropower 8.2%)
Worldwide
With 90%(1) of its electricity production decarbonized in 2022, the EDF group is pursuing its ambition to contribute to carbon neutrality by 2050.
In 2022, the carbon intensity of the electricity and heat produced by the EDF group stands at 50 gCO₂/kWh(2), a level approximately 5 times lower than the European average and more than 9 times lower than the world average(3).

EDF Energy Mix in France in 2022
- Nuclear: 85.7%
- Combined cycle gaz and cogeneration: 2.8%
- Fioul : 0.5%
- Charbon : 0.5%
- Renewables energies: 10.5%
In France
In France(1), the electricity produced by EDF is 96% CO₂ free, thanks to nuclear power and renewable energies.
In 2022, EDF’s specific carbon emissions in France delivered the figure of 20 g/kWh(2) produced (vs 16 g/kWh in 2021), 14 times less than the European average for the sector(3).

Nuclear energy
Clean, safe and competitive, nuclear power represents 86.8% of electricity produced by EDF in France. It underpins the French energy mix and ensures the country’s energy independence.
Renewable energies
While relying on its nuclear base, EDF is counting on the growth of renewable energy sources (hydroelectric, solar, wind, etc.), whose capacity will increase by more than 70% between 2021 and 2030 to reach 60 GW net.
Genuine commitments to preserve the planet
