Béatrice Buffon will be proposed as Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of EDF Renewables on 5 April 2024, at the
EDF Renewables Board of Directors meeting. She will retain her
position as Group Senior Executive Vice-President in charge of the
International Division. By mutual agreement with the Group, Bruno
Bensasson, Group Senior Executive Vice-President in charge of the
Renewable Energies Division and Chairman and CEO of EDF Renewables,
will cease to exercise his functions in the Group from 15 April
2024 to pursue other professional projects. Emmanuelle Verger,
Chief Executive Officer of EDF Hydro, will report directly to Luc
Rémont, Chairman and CEO of the Group.
Luc Rémont, Chairman and CEO of EDF,
states: "After six years in the Group, I would like to
express my warmest thanks to Bruno for his extremely valuable
contribution to the industrial, economic and social performance of
the Renewable Energies Division. Under his leadership, the
installed capacity of EDF Renewables has increased by 60% and the
EDF Group has consolidated its leading position in the renewable
energies sector. In France, the Group commissioned the first
offshore wind farm, regained a leading position in solar energy and
ensured the long-term availability of hydroelectric power. I wish
him every success in the challenges ahead.This is an opportunity
for me to initiate a discussion on the consolidation of our
international skills and the improvement of the readability of our
organization for our external stakeholders. This is also an
opportunity to benefit from technological, commercial and
geographic synergies in order to deploy the Group's know-how in
decarbonized energy more effectively with our partners and
customers. I have asked Béatrice Buffon to take over the management
of our subsidiary EDF Renewables in addition to her role as Group
Senior Executive Director in charge of EDF's International
Division, in order to conduct this review in a transparent manner
with our teams and employee representatives. In addition, the
development of French hydroelectricity is about to undergo changes
which should reach a stage at which investment can resume. This
transformation is going to require extremely thorough coordination,
with numerous inputs from different Group sections. I have
therefore asked Emmanuelle Verger, who manages EDF Hydro, to report
to me directly.”
Bruno Bensasson commented: "It
has been a great pleasure for me to lead the renewable energies
Division of EDF for six years, and to contribute to the growth of
these energies, which are essential in the fight against climate
change. I would like to warmly thank the 10,000 employees of the
division, whose action I had the honour of leading, for their
commitment."
