In this episode of Green Giants, host Wes Ashworth sits down with Tristan Grimbert, President and CEO of EDF Renewables North America, a leader in the renewable energy space for nearly two decades. Since joining EDF in 2004, Grimbert has driven the company’s remarkable 14-fold growth, overseeing a diverse portfolio of 18 GW of clean energy projects. This episode dives deep into how EDF Renewables tackles the energy sector’s biggest challenges, from grid reliability and offshore wind expansion to innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions and energy storage.

Episode Highlights:

  • Strategic Leadership in Clean Energy: Grimbert reflects on his 20 years at EDF Renewables, sharing key moments and decisions that shaped the company’s success in wind, solar, and energy storage. His unique perspective combines visionary goals with practical strategies for overcoming market obstacles.
  • Technology-Agnostic Approach: EDF Renewables is technology-neutral, adopting solutions from solar, wind, EVs, and storage to address specific grid needs across North America. This adaptable approach allows EDF to support the grid’s transition to decarbonized energy with flexible, custom solutions.
  • Expansion into Offshore Wind: Grimbert discusses EDF’s partnership with Shell in the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind project, aiming to power densely populated areas along the Atlantic coast. He shares insights on navigating complex permitting, supply chain challenges, and the importance of patient, strategic partnerships in building a sustainable offshore wind market.
  • EV Charging as Grid Stability: Under Grimbert’s leadership, EDF Renewables has pioneered the integration of EVs as mobile storage units, using PowerFlex to deploy EV chargers, rooftop solar, and batteries. He explores how these technologies work together to stabilize the grid and meet the growing demand for clean energy across North America.
  • Managing Supply Chain and Regulatory Challenges: Grimbert details EDF’s approach to supply chain resilience and political uncertainties. His “strategy by capillarity” philosophy focuses on pragmatic solutions and adapting to ever-evolving market conditions. He also discusses EDF’s contingency planning and the critical need for index pricing to manage risks over long project timelines.
  • Company Culture and Retention: Known for fostering a strong company culture, Grimbert emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and innovation. He shares insights into how EDF has built a team that thrives in the fast-paced, challenging world of renewable energy.
