About
EDP is Portugal's largest utility and one of the world's top five wind-power producers, founded in 1976 through the nationalization of Portugal's electricity sector and privatized between 1997 and 2012. Headquartered in Lisbon, the group employs about 13,000 people, serves 11 million customers in Portugal, Spain, Brazil, and the United States, and generates annual revenue of roughly EUR 18 billion.\n\nEDP's transformation under CEO António Mexia made it a global renewables leader: its EDP Renováveis subsidiary is the world's fourth-largest wind-energy company, with about 15 GW of installed wind and solar capacity across North America, Europe, and South America. The group's hydroelectric assets in Portugal and Brazil, including the Alto Tâmega complex, provide flexible baseload power, while its networks business operates one of Europe's smartest distribution grids. EDP has committed to phasing out coal entirely by 2025 and to doubling renewable capacity by 2030, with major offshore wind projects in the UK and the US.\n\nFor the renewable-energy supply chain, EDP is a top-tier buyer of wind turbines, solar modules, and grid equipment, and its global footprint spanning two continents makes it one of the most reliable partners for equipment manufacturers serving the energy transition.
