Procurement Expertise EDF Renewable Energy and the EDF group benefit from global procurement partnerships and are technologically agnostic, ensuring that the most cost-effective technology solutions are developed for each project. We customize energy solutions to fit specific project requirements and customer needs. For purposes of acquiring goods and services, EDF RE utilizes a competitive Request For Proposal (RFP) process. EDF RE first conducts a preliminary screening of potential suppliers and service providers using criteria such as past experience and financial strength. We typically solicit proposals from multiple potential partners and selects performers based on their capabilities, experience, resources, schedule, quality control, warranty, and cost. The benefit to our customers from this rigorous process is the best value for a specific set of performance requirements. 5
