E D F Trading Limited is a UK registered company, part of the EDF group, the French energy group. Companies House records list its business activities as the trade of electricity and as an agent involved in the sale of fuels, ores, metals and industrial chemicals. This reflects a role in energy and commodity trading rather than retail energy supply. The company was originally incorporated as Louis Dreyfus Electricity & Gas Limited in 1999 before being renamed. It remains active, registered in London, and forms part of EDF's wider trading operations covering electricity, gas and related commodities across international markets, supporting the group's broader energy generation and supply business.
