EDP España is the Spanish subsidiary of EDP (Energias de Portugal), one of Europe's largest energy utility groups. The company operates across the full energy value chain in Spain, including electricity generation, distribution, and retail supply, with a strong focus on renewable energy. EDP is a global leader in wind energy and has been expanding its solar and green hydrogen portfolio. As part of a group with over 13,000 employees worldwide, EDP España plays a key role in the Iberian energy market and supports the country's transition to a low-carbon economy.

In Spain, EDP operates predominantly in the northern region, with its Spanish headquarters in Oviedo and a significant presence in cities such as Madrid, Gijón, and Sines (although the latter is in Portugal). The company has committed to phasing out coal and investing heavily in renewables and network digitalization. EDP fosters a data-driven and sustainability-focused culture, with many roles available in English, making it a viable option for international professionals. Its internship and associate programs offer structured entry points, and the company supports flexible work and professional development opportunities.

Company History

EDP was created in 1976 as a state-owned electricity utility in Portugal, and was privatized in 1997. It expanded internationally through acquisitions in Spain, Brazil, and the United States, becoming a top-five global wind energy producer. The company has since focused its strategy on decarbonization, digitalization, and customer-centric services.
