EDF International Networks

At EDF International Networks, we believe that a team’s strength comes not only from everyone’s expertise but also from the quality of the human connections that unite us.


This week, three of our colleagues Lispice AGOSSOU , Eméfa DJONDO , Afi Gagli, from Togo and Benin treated us to a breakfast featuring flavors from their home countries, along with a wonderful cultural sharing moment where they introduced us to their traditions.

It was an authentic, inspiring, and deeply human experience.

This type of initiative goes far beyond simple conviviality:
✨ team cohesion is a real driver of performance,
✨ a key factor in well‑being and workplace organization,
✨ and a major pillar for strengthening individual engagement.

When we take the time to get to know each other better—to understand our cultures and our journeys—our collaboration becomes smoother, more cooperative, and more effective.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to them for this culinary and cultural journey, which helps nurture a united team that is open to the world and proud of its diversity.

🌍 A successful and high-value training week at the Medium Voltage Live Line Works Campus in Ottmarsheim.

As part of our ongoing collaboration with ΔΕΔΔΗΕ Α.Ε. – HEDNO S.A., the Greek electricity distribution operator, we had the opportunity to deliver a trainers training program focused on Live Line Works distance and contact methods on MV networks (TST HTA).

🔶 Our commitment: to share our proven expertise through rigorous methodology, strong pedagogical standards, and operational excellence built on extensive field experience.

🔶 Key components of the training program:
🔹 Practical application on 20 kV systems, with a focus on regulation, distance and contact live‑working methods,
🔹 In‑depth pedagogical, theorical and practical sessions led by our certified technical trainers,
🔹 A technical tour of our french regulation committee, testing and repair laboratory, offering full insight into diagnostic and maintenance processes,
🔹 A visit to one of our equipment supplier partners, providing additional perspective on technologies and solutions used in live‑working environments.

This intensive week was highly valued by the HEDNO teams, reinforcing the relevance of our training approach and paving the way for a long‑term and trusted partnership.

👏 We extend our sincere thanks to our training teams and to all participants for their professionalism, engagement, curiosity and constructive exchanges throughout the week.

🔹 We look forward to continuing this collaboration with HEDNO and supporting their future initiatives.

🌍 Transforming Power Networks to Drive the Energy Transition

Electricity grid operators today face two major challenges: supporting the rapid growth of renewable energy and strengthening network resilience in the face of climate change.

🔹 To meet these challenges, they are investing heavily, recruiting new talent, and accelerating innovation. The digitalization of networks and the deployment of smart technologies have paved the way for more precise grid management, proactive maintenance, and an improved user experience.

The use of data and AI is deeply reshaping operations, professions, and organizational models, providing new levers for efficiency and quality of service.

🔹 Beyond technology, this represents a true cultural transformation: evolving practices, supporting field teams, and integrating new skills to build a more agile, sustainable, and resilient network.

🔶 A warm thank you to Pamela Largue and Enlit Europe for the opportunity to share perspectives on how our energy systems are evolving.
