The state-owned energy group EDF has reported a 19 percent decline in its core profit for 2025, with earnings falling to 29.3 billion euros. The company attributed the result to low wholesale electricity prices that have significantly eroded income across its operations. This financial update comes as benchmark power prices hit their lowest levels since early 2020, prompting a warning from the utility that profits are expected to decline slightly again in the coming year.
