About GRDF

GRDF is the leading natural gas distribution network operator in France. Our business is to design, build, operate, maintain, and develop this network. These infrastructures measure nearly 200,000 km and are the longest natural gas network in Europe: 5 times the circumference of the Earth. This network, a key element of the energy transition, also meets the need for the development of biomethane, Natural Gas for Vehicles, and Power-to-Gas. Our 12,000 employees work in 9,500 municipalities to allow 11 million homes and businesses in France to benefit from access to our network. They provide 24/7 breakdown services, carry out technical services such as network maintenance and meter readings, handle network connections, and guarantee the quality and continuity of the energy supplied, regardless of your supplier. Our specificities in the French business world: - A 100% subsidiary of the ENGIE group, we are financially and managerially independent to ensure objectivity, transparency, non-discrimination, and confidentiality with all energy suppliers. - We manage the gas network on behalf of local authorities who own it. - The majority of our employees belong to the "Common Service" shared with our cousin ERDF and therefore have double-logo payslips (like our blue cars). - Our customers are billed by energy suppliers who pay us the transportation tariff. - The price of our services is set by the CRE, the Energy Regulation Commission, an independent administrative authority responsible for ensuring the proper functioning of the electricity and gas markets in France.
