We're investing in low-carbon energy

Countries using renewable technologies, such as wind and solar,
alongside low-carbon nuclear have successfully cut their emissions.
We're committed to investing in them all.

Investing in renewables

We have an operational portfolio of 36 wind farms – including two offshore wind farms – and we have an ambitious vision for solar and battery storage.

Investing in nuclear

EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites like Sizewell C, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand.

Generating electricity

By generating zero carbon electricity from wind, nuclear and solar we can power the nation, whatever the weather, while creating a balanced energy mix.

Our plan for a
green recovery

With the right policies in place, we plan to enable investment in low carbon technologies in the UK worth over £50bn by 2035.

This amounts to 12GW of wind, solar and nuclear power – meeting one-fifth of UK demand.

Notes

UK Fuel Mix disclosure information, published by Government Department BEIS, recognises electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation.

The zero-carbon electricity purchased is supplied to the National Grid. Customers receive electricity via the National Grid, not directly from zero-carbon generators.

The below table summarises zero-carbon generation by company demonstrating EDF generating 32.4%. The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.

All of our home energy tariffs are backed by zero-carbon electricity as standard and are backed annually. At the end of each fuel mix reporting year we’ll make sure we have enough nuclear generation declarations to match the total volume of electricity supplied to all of our customers on zero carbon nuclear backed tariffs.
