1990 to today and beyond: history of the EDF Group

The 1990s and 2000s witnessed the opening of European markets and the simultaneous growth of EDF’s global reach.

In 1999, EDF signed the charter for sustainable development, a commitment expanded in 2001 with the publication of the Agenda 21.
In April 2002, the Group obtained ISO 14001 certification.
 On July 1, 2004, 70% of the electricity market was opened to competition. On November 19, we changed our corporate status to become a limited company. This shift created new commercial opportunities, including the marketing of multi-energy and service offers.  
On November 21, 2005, the IPO brought EDF onto the stock market, with our five million private shareholders on board.  
Since 2006, the EDF Group has been implementing a €40 billion investment program to support an ambitious industrial and development strategy.
In 2009, EDF consolidated its European positions in Great Britain (EDF Energy integration project), Germany (asset swap between EDF, ENBW and E.ON), Belgium (acquisition of 51% of SPE's equity), Austria (increased holding in Estag), Netherlands (commissioning of the Sloe power plant) and Poland (continued integration of Polish subsidiaries).
