Members of our Welsh team went back to school last week as part of our educational outreach programme. Amy Ravitz-Williams and Osian Roberts were at Cefn Hengoed School in Swansea to talk to 150 Year 9 students about the world of renewables. Over the course of the day students took part in an activity to site a wind turbine, and also learnt about the many careers available in this sector. Thanks to the staff for their support and the students for their input. It's always good fun meeting with the generation that will be building and managing our renewables assets in the future! #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #EducationOutreach #WorkInRenewables #WeAreRenewables #GreenSkills
About us
EDF Renewables is part of one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies in the UK. With our portfolio of 42 sites across the UK, including onshore, offshore, battery and solar, we are providing some of the much needed new affordable, low carbon electricity the UK needs. EDF Renewables UK has more than 14 GW of renewables projects in planning and development. We look after the operations and maintenance of our own wind farms. Customers need new low carbon electricity to be affordable – our innovation is driving costs down, for example our Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Project which has used float and submerge technology on the foundations, 66 kV electrical connection cables and 8.3MW turbines – all firsts in offshore wind. We are also looking at the future of onshore wind using the most modern and efficient turbines to make this technology as low cost as possible. The basis of our success is our people. We have an engaged, enthusiastic and dedicated team in an organisation that encourages agile, flexible and dynamic working. The willingness of the team to pull together to meet challenges is the source of our momentum. Whether you're working in the operational environment on site, or in one of our support functions in an office, we value the contribution each person makes. Every year we run a apprenticeship and graduate schemes to provide unique opportunities for people to get a foot into the renewable energy career ladder. For all careers opportunities and enquiries, please visit our careers page - www.edf-re.uk/careers We pride ourselves on working closely with local communities throughout the projects, from the early stages right the way through to development, construction, operation and beyond.

Thanks to the hosts of Solar Finance & Investment Europe Summit Solar and Storage Finance Series for a fantastic couple of days. Our Principal Business Development Manager Remy Gillet took part in a panel discussion on Day 1 about the impact of the UK Government's national renewal plans on the attractiveness of the solar and storage market. Here are some of the key takeaways from the discussion: 🔶 The Clean Power 2030 Action Plan is a fundamental step to set the trajectory and the pace for renewable deployment. 🔶 Connections Reform is greatly needed. Although there is uncertainty in the short-term, it will bring clarity and significantly reduce risk for developers over the next ten years. 🔶 Investor confidence has increased following the UK’s sixth Contracts for Difference (CfD)... 🔶 ... But some concerns remain about budget in the coming years to support the ambitious growth laid out in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and the impact of negative pricing on CfD. Thanks to everyone who came along to the session and Chris Hewett, CEO of Solar Energy UK, for moderating the panel. #SilverSponsor #Solar #EnergyStorage #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #NetZero
