Generation and Transmission Group

The Generation and Transmission Group is one of four Electricité de France (EDF) 
operational groups, the others being Research & Development, Plant Design and 
Construction, and Distribution for electricity and gas. The Generation and 
Transmission Group is responsible for generating and transmitting electrical energy 
to the Distribution Group and to large industrial users.

The Group manages and operates EDF hydro and thermal plants (nuclear and fossil) 
as well as all transmission lines and primary substations rated at 63 kV and over. 
It also purchases excess energy production from independent companies throughout 
France, and in some cases buys all the power generated by these companies. The 
Group handles all French power soles and purchases abroad.

All EDF thermal and major hydro power stations ore built by the Plant Design and 
Construction Group and transferred to the Generation and Transmission Group for 
commercial operation. Smaller hydro plants, as well as all grid transmission 
facilities, are constructed directly by the Generation and Transmission Group.

Because the Group is involved in several business activities (hydro and thermal 
power generation and transmission), it utilizes o centralized organizational structure 
in which all employees working in o given sector of activity report along the some 
chain of command.

The Group comprises three operational divisions, each corresponding to o field of 
activity: Hydro Generation, Nuclear and Fossil Generation, and Transmission (see 
chart opposite). Each division has functional and support departments located at the 
Head Office while operations ore handled by regional and local offices situated 
throughout France. The activities of these three divisions, each responsible for 
managing and operating the facilities under its responsibility, are coordinated by a 
fourth, the Load Dispatching Division. Two other divisions, Fuel and Commercial, 
operate out of the Group Head Office. The Fuel Division negotiates and administers 
fuel purchase contracts and delivery for nuclear and fossil plants. The Commercial 
Division handles energy soles and purchases with neighboring countries in Europe 
and sells power directly to large high voltage industrial power users.

Regional and local operations managers report to Head Office managers in their 
divisional chain of command. The various regional and local activities are 
coordinated by liaison officers at the Group Head Office.

As of January 1, 1986, the Generation and Transmission Group staff numbered 
37,240 employees (nearly one third of all EDF personnel). The work force is 
assigned as follows: Hydro, 5,650; Nuclear and Fossil Generation. 23,535; 
Transmission, 6,760; Load Dispatching 970.
