Comment

EDP was founded as Electricidade de Portugal, E.P. by the Portuguese government. China Three Gorges Corporation, a SOE, won in December 2011 the bidding for the Portuguese government's 21.35% interest in the company. As of February 2014, just under 45% of the ownership of EDP was controlled by five institutional shareholders. On 10 April 2024, the company decided at a general meeting of shareholders to change its name to simply "EDP, S.A.", dropping "Energias de Portugal" from the name.
