24.05.2011

All the resolutions submitted to shareholder vote have been accepted during EDF's Shareholders' General Meeting*, held on 24th May, during which the Chairman and CEO, Henri Proglio, also unveiled the Group's strategy up to the year 2020. EDF has thus declared its ambition of becoming the world's number one electricity player, with 200GW of installed capacity and a diversified energy mix, comprising 50% nuclear, 25% thermal and 25% hydraulic and other renewable energies. This will place EDF at the top of the renewable energies sector in Europe and make it a major global player in low carbon energy, with 75% of its fleet producing no CO2. The Group also intends to expand its international presence, increasing its generation capacity outside France by 50%.

Three strategic areas of focus will allow EDF to achieve this ambition:

I. Strengthening the Group's competitive advantages

  • Nuclear energy, EDF's core expertise and industrial know-how
  • France: basis of the Group's industrial legitimacy on a global level
  • The United Kingdom: firmly strengthening positions

II. Responding to our customers' diverse needs throughout the world

III. Controlling our destiny by combining EDF's unique expertise with anticipating needs for 2035 - 2050

* The results of the shareholder vote is available on the Shareholders' Meetings page
