What We Do
EDP Renewables (EDPR) specializes in renewable energy generation, primarily focusing on wind energy, being the fourth largest global generator by net installed capacity.

Its products and services encompass the management of renewable projects throughout their lifecycle, including development, operation, and production of wind and solar energy, supplying energy sectors worldwide (source: cbinsights.com). EDPR's target markets span 13 countries, serving utilities, energy buyers, and grids in Europe, North America, and South America, distinguished by its steady growth and robust development portfolio (source: wikipedia.org).
Projects and Track Record
Among EDPR's notable projects is a portfolio of five operational solar projects in the Lazio and Puglia regions of Italy, with a total capacity of 248 MW, including a 17 MW expansion, sold in December 2025 to Encavis for €300 million (source: wikipedia.org). Additionally, the company completed the sale of three operational wind farms and two plants under construction to Onex in July 2021 for €530 million, as well as the acquisition of a 28 MW solar plant in Vietnam (source: wikipedia.org).

Recent Developments

The company achieved record additions of 3.8 GW of capacity in 2024 with an investment of €4.1 billion, alongside rebranding efforts that link its identity to energy transition commitments and its presence in 26 markets with over 2,800 global employees (source: edp.com). No significant acquisitions, mergers, or funding rounds were detailed after 2023, beyond the investments in 2024, although the historical context includes EDP's acquisition of Viesgo in 2020, which doubled distribution in Spain (source: wikipedia.org).

Hiring takes place in key locations such as the Madrid headquarters, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal, France, the UK, Poland, Italy, Romania, Belgium, and Greece, aligning with operations in 13 markets and the 2024 expansion (source: wikipedia.org).
