Enabling Montenegro’s energy transition with smarter, more resilient grids


On the occasion of President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Montenegro on June 4, an important milestone was reached to support the country’s energy transition.

EDF International Networks welcomes the signing of a technical cooperation agreement with Crnogorski elektrodistributivni sistem (CEDIS) and AFD – Agence Française de Développement, under the FEXTE program.

This agreement aims to support the modernization of Montenegro’s electricity distribution network, notably through:
✔️ the development of smart grids
✔️the automation of distribution networks
✔️increased integration of renewable energy

Our engagement alongside CEDIS will bring operational and strategic expertise to address the technical challenges of the energy transition.

Since 2023, EDF International Networks has been part of a long-term cooperation dynamic in the Balkans, supporting local operators and international institutions to build more resilient, smarter, and more sustainable power networks.

A growing impact driven by collective engagement !


Once again this year, we took part in a charity run Imagine for Margo – Children without Cancer supporting the fight against childhood cancer—an initiative fully aligned with our commitment to corporate social responsibility.

👉 13 participants last year… 24 this year.

A significant increase that reflects the growing engagement of our teams around a major cause.
Beyond the kilometers covered, this edition was above all marked by a strong and meaningful collective dynamic:
✔️ A tangible commitment to supporting research
✔️ Funds raised to support the fight against pediatric cancers
✔️ An initiative aligned with our CSR commitments, aimed at contributing positively to society

👏 A mobilization we are proud of, demonstrating that collective engagement is a true driver of impact—both on the ground and through shared effort.

We would like to thank all participants, donors, and supporters for their involvement.
