EDF Renewables is part of one of the world’s largest electricity companies and our investment and innovation in the UK is bringing down costs for consumers and bringing significant benefits for communities. With our 34 wind farms and battery storage unit (786MW) we are providing some of the much needed new affordable, low carbon electricity the UK needs. We are building the 177 MW Dorenell wind farm near Dufftown in the Scottish Highlands and have bought the 450 MW Neart Na Gaoithe offshore wind farm project which is in the Firth of Forth. EDF Renewables has more than 1 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 8.3 MW 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 increase in wind and solar power poses new challenges for the grid, that’s why we have built the UK’s largest battery storage at West Burton B to help balance supply and ensure reliability for customers. 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.
