French energy giant EDF is a well-known nuclear-power-generation company, but now it wants to diversify its energy mix by expanding into renewable energy. Antoine Cahuzac, the CEO of EDF Énergies Nouvelles, the company’s renewables division, believes the newly merged GE and Alstom Energy, with its global footprint, will be the perfect partner. “Both GE and Alstom are very important for us,” Cahuzac says. “They have globally recognized technological expertise in turbines ... and their equipment is state-of-the-art.”
