‘The U.K. has a competitiveness deficit in its energy costs—that’s a real call to action,’ says EDF U.K. chair
Rising energy prices and a restrictive regulatory environment are hampering the U.K.’s ability to grow, according to Alex Chisholm.
Sir Alex Chisolm, the U.K. chair of EDF, recently emphasized the importance of addressing the competitiveness deficit in energy costs within the United Kingdom. As a non-executive director at BT and a senior adviser to Boston Consulting Group, Chisholm brings a wealth of experience from his former role in the Cabinet Office and within the energy sector.
EDF, a French state-owned energy company, currently ranks 15th on the Fortune 500 Europe rankings, with a record profit of €8.4 billion ($9.7 billion) for the 2025 financial year. Chisholm, who transitioned from politics to the private sector, finds the energy industry "absolutely fascinating" and sees it as a crucial factor in shaping people's lives and driving business competitiveness.
