16.2 France (regulated activities, and generation and supply)

Given the strong similarities between their pension schemes, the two operating segments “France – Generation and Supply” and “France – Regulated activities”(see note 4.1) are combined here into a single subtotal, “France”, which primarily includes EDF and Enedis. Almost all of these companies’ employees have IEG status, including the special IEG pension and other IEG benefits.
