How to sign up for a contract with EDF ?
Signing up for an electricity or gas contract with EDF in France is straightforward, quick, and free of charge. You can begin the process by calling EDF or by visiting their official website, whichever you prefer.
To set up your new contract, you will just need to provide some basic information, such as your name, address, and details about your energy supply point (like the meter number or Point de Livraison/PRM number for electricity).

Who is EDF ?
EDF (Électricité de France) was created in 1946 by the French State, following the nationalization of electricity distributors. Headquartered in Paris, it is one of the world’s largest energy suppliers and remains fully owned by the French government. As of 2024, EDF employs over 191,000 people worldwide and serves about 41.5 million customers.
Historically the sole supplier of electricity to households in France, EDF lost its monopoly with the opening of the energy market to competition in 2007. It is today the only supplier authorized to offer regulated electricity tariffs in France. EDF is also active in the supply of natural gas for both private and professional customers.
EDF manages activities across the energy value chain, including energy generation (with significant nuclear, hydroelectric and renewable assets), distribution, and network management. The company is known for its initiatives to support energy savings for households, businesses, and local authorities.
