EDF Renewables
Prospect is an expert and independent voice for employees at EDF Renewables: to your employer and to policy-makers.
We recently entered into a recognition agreement with EDF Renewables UK and Ireland. This agreement covers all employees across EDF Renewables’ 5 offices, 8 service centres and 44 renewable energy sites.
Here are just some of the benefits we offer to members:
- Independent, professional advice and support if you have a problem at work including legal assistance where required
- Health and Safety resources and expertise to protect you at work
- Skills and career development
- Networking opportunities
- Special deals and discounts to help you save money on a range of products and services
We already offer protection, support and advice to more than 22,500 members across the entire energy sector: from generation, transmission, nuclear and decommissioning.
In renewables, we have a fast-growing membership in onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, hydro and energy storage.
Prospect reps are supporting workers on matters relating to pay transparency, career development and progression, health and safety and workload/long hours.
As the leading energy trade union in the UK, Prospect is a powerful advocate for workers both inside and outside their workplaces.
Prospect has established union membership and union recognition arrangements for members working in employers including Ørsted, RWE (Renewables), SSE (Renewables) as well as network companies like National Grid, and in the nuclear industry.
We have close relationships with the key renewables’ health and safety bodies and our policy expertise and campaigning makes us an influential voice across industry and government.
Tackling the climate crisis
The energy sector will have a huge role to play as the UK pushes to achieve Net Zero.
In addition to our professionals in renewables, Prospect’s membership includes leading climate scientists, conservationists and engineers. Our members are on the frontline of tackling the climate crisis.
We believe that the climate crisis is a trade union issue. We know the work that you do will be a key part of that.

Just Transition
A Just Transition is about the fair treatment of workers and communities most affected by change as we move to a lower carbon world.
Prospect represents more than 22,500 energy workers, and as the UK moves towards a low-carbon economy, we are campaigning for a ‘just transition’ for those affected.
We are supporting workers from traditional energy sources move into green and low carbon technologies.
