EDF International Networks

🌍 Last week, EDF International Networks had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from Khmelnytskoblenergo as part of a study tour dedicated to sharing French expertise in electricity distribution.

Throughout this week of rich and productive exchanges, participants explored the solutions and procedures implemented in France in the areas of smart metering, network modernisation, and electricity infrastructure management. Discussions with experts from EDF International Networks and the French distribution sector also provided an opportunity to compare French and Ukrainian network management models and regulatory frameworks, fostering mutual learning and shared benefits.

The delegation also had the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the equipment that will soon be delivered under the Ukraine Fund, by observing it in operation in the field and engaging directly with the specialists involved.

These exchanges strengthen the ties between our organisations and pave the way for future cooperation. We would like to warmly thank all the teams who contributed to the success of this study tour, as well as the Khmelnytskoblenergo delegation for the quality of the discussions and their active participation throughout the week.

🤝 Stop Safety Day 2026 | Responding to the Unexpected

On the occasion of Stop Safety Day 2026, our teams in France, India, and Mozambique came together around a common objective: strengthening our safety culture and our ability to respond effectively to unexpected situations.
This moment of reflection and exchange was an opportunity to reaffirm that safety is everyone’s responsibility. By fostering collective vigilance and sharing experiences, we help create a safer working environment for all, every day.

A big thank you to all our colleagues who took part in this initiative and helped bring EDF International Networks’ safety values to life. ⚠️🤝

🌍 Building stronger electricity distribution networks in Angola
 
Following an initial mission in Huambo and Bié, our teams were recently in Luanda to continue the feasibility study for an investment programme to be financed by AFD.
 
Working closely with ENDE -EP , their work focused on assessing the technical solutions needed to reinforce and modernise the distribution network, improve its reliability and support Angola’s growing electricity needs.
 
Building on the work already carried out in Huambo and Bié, EDF International Networks brought its power distribution expertise to help identify priority investments and define the next stages of the programme.

Reforçar as redes de distribuição de energia elétrica em Angola
 
Na sequência de uma primeira missão realizada nas províncias do Huambo e do Bié, as nossas equipas estiveram recentemente em Luanda para dar continuidade ao estudo de viabilidade de um programa de investimento a ser financiado pela AFD.
 
Em estreita colaboração com a ENDE -EP, os trabalhos centraram-se na avaliação das soluções técnicas necessárias para reforçar e modernizar a rede de distribuição, melhorar a sua fiabilidade e responder às crescentes necessidades de eletricidade em Angola.
 
Com base nos trabalhos já realizados no Huambo e no Bié, a EDF International Networks mobilizou a sua experiência no domínio da distribuição de energia elétrica para contribuir para a identificação dos investimentos prioritários e para a definição das próximas etapas do programa.

🌍 The transformation of power networks and the growing integration of distributed energy resources require increasingly advanced expertise.

Through his participation in the IEEE PowerTalks, Naïm Echarach. represented EDF International Networks, sharing our insights and experience on DERMS (Distributed Energy Resources Management Systems) and their role in supporting Distribution System Operators (DSOs).

His presentation, entitled “DERMS: Supporting DSOs in Managing Distributed Energy Resources and Grid Flexibility”, highlighted the expertise developed by EDF International Networks in addressing grid flexibility challenges and supporting the modernization of power systems, while fostering valuable exchanges with industry professionals and stakeholders.

A sincere thank you to the IEEE Talks organizers for their invitation and for hosting such a high-quality event.
