About us

We choose positivity

More than 40 years ago we started as a utility company in Portugal and grew to become a global energy major and a leader in the energy transition. Today, we are present in 29 markets and have more than nine million energy customers in the regulated and liberalized market. Through time our purpose and commitment to the planet became stronger and sustainability became part of our DNA.

Investing in renewables to be 100% green by 2030

We know that to win the race against climate change, the world needs structural transformation. And we want to drive that transformation, using the power of wind, sun and water on a global scale to accelerate decarbonization, leaving no one behind.

Today, more than 85% of all energy we generate already comes from renewable sources. But we want to go further - by 2030 we will be all green. To accomplish this, we will keep relying on our innovation, our drive, our passion, and the energy of over 13.000 people at EDP.

Pioneering on energy transition

Pioneering on energy transition

We installed Portugal’s 1st wind farm, in Porto Santo, Madeira, and also the 1st wind farm on the mainland, in Sines. We set up the hydroelectric exploitation of Alto Lindoso, in rio Lima, with 630 MW – the one with the greatest installed capacity in Portugal.

First steps of internationalization

First steps of internationalization

In 2000, we entered the electric sector in Brazil through the acquisition of CERJ, Bandeirante Energia e Escelsa. During the same period, we also entered the electricity and gas markets in Spain, through the acquisition of both Naturgas Distribuición and Hidrocantábrico.

Becoming a truly global company

Becoming a truly global company

We became the world’s 4th largest wind energy company in 2007, as we entered the American market through the acquisition of Horizon Wind Energy. Since then we’ve expanded to more than 20 new markets, focusing on renewable energy sources. Recently we’ve acquired Viesgo’s renewable business in Spain and Sunseap in Southeast Asia, reinforcing our commitment to promote renewable energy on a global scale.

Shaping the energy sector

Shaping the energy sector

To accelerate the energy transition, EDP increased its focus in delivering best in class innovative energy services to our clients, within the scope of distributed solar, storage, energy efficiency and e-mobility. Amongst other projects we launched WindFloat in 2020, the first floating wind farm in continental Europe. Additionally, we continuously invest in new and disruptive technologies that will help accelerate the planets’ decarbonization, such as green hydrogen. As a recognition for being one of the most sustainable utilities in the world, we also integrated the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
