EDF Renewables UK and Ireland Chooses IFS Cloud to Support Ambitious Growth Plans

IFS, announced that EDF Renewables UK and Ireland has chosen the IFS Cloud™ platform to deliver Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) to support their ambitious growth plans.

EDF Renewables UK and Ireland is a joint venture between EDF Renewables Group (EDF’s global renewable business) and EDF Energy (EDF’s UK generation business) and specialises in wind, solar and battery technology.

To support their plans to increase total green energy output produced by their onshore and offshore operations, EDF Renewables UK launched the project in 2021.

During the engagement with IFS, the teams on both sides developed mutual trust and a joint vision of the optimal way to achieve the project’s goals and objectives. EDF Renewables UK and Ireland chose IFS Cloud due to its clear operational and commercial advantages.
