TOP 10 – HYDROPOWER COMPANIES

EDF’ s hydropower business is an important pillar of a much larger generation portfolio. In France, hydro gives the company flexibility, fast-response capacity and a useful complement to its nuclear-heavy system.
EDF operates more than 400 hydroelectric plants across France alone, a network so extensive it functions almost as a national water-management system as much as an energy one.
That matters more than ever as Europe looks for cleaner firm power and greater grid stability.
