EDF Energy is one of the UKÍs largest energy companies and the largest producer of low-carbon electricity, producing around one-sixth of the nation's electricity from its nuclear power stations, wind farms, coal and gas power stations and combined heat and power plants. The company supplies gas and electricity to more than 5.5 million business and residential customer accounts and is the biggest supplier of electricity by volume in Great Britain. EDF EnergyÍs safe and secure operation of its eight existing nuclear power stations at sites across the country makes it the UKÍs largest generator of low carbon electricity. EDF Energy is also leading the UK's nuclear renaissance and has published plans to build four new nuclear plants, subject to the right investment framework. These new plants could generate enough low carbon electricity for about 40% of BritainÍs homes. They would make an important contribution to the UKÍs future needs for clean, secure and affordable energy. The project is already creating business and job opportunities for British companies and workers.EDF Energy is part of EDF Group, one of Europe's largest power companies. The company employs around 15,000 people at locations across the UK.
