EDF (Electricité de France) is a major French electric utility and nuclear energy company that has become one of Europe's most active energy-sector investors in quantum computing research. In October 2024, EDF signed a strategic partnership with Pasqal to explore quantum simulation for EV charging network optimization, wind and solar energy forecasting, and nuclear material aging analysis. EDF also collaborates with Quandela on quantum simulation for hydroelectric dam optimization.
EDF co-funds the OECQ consortium, a 6.1 million euro French national project, alongside Alice & Bob, Quandela, and CNRS. The consortium benchmarks the energy efficiency of quantum computing against classical HPC infrastructure, a key concern given EDF's position as Europe's largest electricity producer.
