Our Partners

EDF Energy

EDF Energy is one of the UK’s largest energy companies and the largest producer of low-carbon electricity, producing around one-sixth of the nation's electricity from its nuclear power stations, wind farms, coal and gas power stations and combined heat and power plants.

EDF Energy is committed to the openness and transparency of its operations - making science and engineering accessible and understandable to everyone by enhancing the way it is communicated to the public. Competitions like FameLab are an important way to raise awareness and enhance standards.
