EDF is helping Britain achieve Net Zero by leading the transition to a cleaner, low emission electric future and tackling climate change. It is the UK’s largest producer of low-carbon electricity – from eight nuclear power stations, more than thirty onshore wind farms and two offshore wind farms – meeting around one-fifth of the country’s demand.

Both stations will provide low carbon electricity to meet 14% of UK demand and power around 12 million homes.

EDF’s largest offshore wind farm, Neart na Gaoithe, is being built in Scotland and the 450 MW project will be ready in 2023.

EDF is helping its customers, both in business and at home, take their first steps to sustainably powering their lives and EDF’s energy services business, Imtech, is one of the largest technical service providers in the UK and Ireland.
