The research has two dimensions : the impact of EDF's activity on climate change, and the impact of climate change on its activity.

Consequences of the bad weather in January 2009 for the forest around St Paul-lès-Dax, Landes.

Impact of climate changes and of EDF activities

EDF research efforts aims at:

Reducing the impact of EDF activities upon climate change: improving the efficiency of power plants, optimum management of hydro-electric power, development of new and renewable sources of energy.
Assessing the impact of climate change upon EDF activities: study of average temperature increases, changes to levels of precipitation (flooding, drought), and increase in the frequency of extreme precipitation and wind.

This research is carried out in close collaboration with the national (IMFREX Project) and international scientific community.

The results have been used for the "Heat Wave Program" initiated at corporate level. They are also used for investment decisions, and, in particular those concerning the sizing of generating infrastructures, the local management of power plants or the overall
management of the production system.
