EdF Lobbying

The French energy company EDF was one of the top providers of hospitality to energy ministers, with 10 occasions, and had the most meetings with ministers and officials in the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The report found that between meetings and hospitality, EDF provided hospitality to or attended meetings with senior officials and ministers on average once a week. Ministers and officials at the Cabinet Office accepted less hospitality, but the report showed that special advisers in that department took hospitality on more than 800 occasions, including many free tickets, more than 100 of which were also with family members.
