- EDP, S.A. (EDP) operates as a global energy company focused on electricity generation, distribution, supply, and renewables; it provides natural gas supply, energy services including engineering and consulting for thermoelectric and hydroelectric installations, and client solutions for energy efficiency and management. The company maintains a vertically integrated model across the energy value chain, with 97% of its generation from renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and emerging areas like energy storage and green hydrogen; it serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers through networks and sales. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal, EDP conducts operations in Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, Romania, UK), North America (US, Canada), South America (primarily Brazil), and Asia-Pacific regions.
EDP pursues aggressive expansion in renewables under its 2023-2026 strategic plan, committing €23-25 billion in investments, with 80% allocated to renewables and networks, targeting 25 GW installed capacity, 3 GW annual additions, coal-free status by 2025, and 100% green production by 2030. Recent developments include the 2024 acquisition of 44.3 MWp solar distributed generation parks in Brazil for €35 million to bolster decentralized solar capacity toward 500 MWp by 2026, over 1 GW of new wind, solar, and hybrid projects planned in Portugal by 2026, and innovations in floating solar, pumped storage, hydrogen, and offshore wind participation. In April 2024, EDP simplified its branding by changing its name from EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. to EDP, S.A., reflecting its global scope; EDP Renováveis (EDPR) serves as its key renewables subsidiary.
