French energy company EDF Power Solutions said it is studying the possibility of listing its subsidiaries in Brazil and North America as part of its international growth strategy.
In a statement quoted by Reuters, the company said the plan aligns with its 2035 strategic vision and aims to “support the expansion of its project portfolio, strengthen long-term investment capacity, and maintain its industrial ambition.”
The announcement came after a Reuters report earlier this week revealed that EDF is seeking to raise up to 2 billion reais (about $340 million) through the sale of a thermal power plant in Rio de Janeiro.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the sale has attracted interest from several potential buyers, including Âmbar Energia, part of the J&F Group owned by Brazil’s Batista family. EDF declined to comment specifically on the potential asset sale.
The EDF Power Solutions brand was launched in Brazil earlier this year, integrating the former EDF Brasil and EDF Renewables teams. The company operates in power generation, transmission, and energy services, with an installed capacity of 2.7 gigawatts from gas-fired, hydroelectric, wind, and solar projects.
