How we partner with you
Discuss goals and assets
Start with a short discovery conversation. We review your generation or flexibility assets, understand your commercial goals, and identify where market opportunities exist — whether that’s securing stable revenues, improving performance, or accessing new value streams.
Structure the route to value
Together we define the most effective route; from bespoke PPAs to wholesale market access or flexibility optimisation. Our experts design the right trading, risk, and reporting framework to match your asset profile and appetite.
Onboard with our customer service team
Our dedicated onboarding specialists make setup simple. They coordinate contracts, data connections, and reporting access so your account is ready to perform from day one. You’ll know exactly who to contact for support throughout the process.
Execute and report
Once live, we optimise your assets through active trading and continuous market monitoring. You receive regular performance reports, transparent data, and ongoing insights so we can refine your strategy and deliver sustained value over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an EDF supply customer?
No. We work with independent generators, investors, and businesses across the UK. You can access our trading, optimisation, or PPA services even if you buy or sell energy elsewhere. What matters is your asset and your commercial goal, not who supplies your power.
How do you ensure fairness between EDF and customer assets?
All optimisation and trading activity follows transparent, auditable principles overseen by our compliance and risk teams. Customer assets are scheduled and traded based on market signals and system conditions, not ownership. You receive the same quality of insight and execution as EDF’s own portfolio, with clear evidence of how value is created.
Can I get detailed reporting on my asset’s performance?
Yes. We provide regular reports showing market position, trading activity, and revenue breakdowns. You’ll have access to data that explains not only what your assets earned, but why — including benchmark comparisons and forward market context.
Is there a minimum size or contract volume?
For most PPAs, the minimum is around 1 GWh per year, but we also design structures for smaller or distributed portfolios. Flexibility, battery, or behind-the-meter customers can aggregate multiple sites to reach commercial thresholds.
How long does onboarding take?
Typically two to four weeks from contract agreement. Our customer service team coordinates all data and technical setup, ensuring your account, reporting, and settlement systems are active before trading or optimisation begins.
What if market conditions change?
We review your strategy regularly and adjust positions as needed. Our trading and portfolio teams work continuously to capture opportunities and protect downside risk, keeping you informed through scheduled performance reviews.
What kind of support will I receive once live?
You’ll have a named account manager and access to EDF’s dedicated customer service team. They handle queries, monitor performance, and connect you directly to technical or trading specialists when deeper insight is required.
