What Edison does

Italian energy company generating and supplying electricity and natural gas, majority-owned by France's EDF.

Earns from selling electricity and gas to households, businesses and wholesale buyers, with its own power plants, largely gas-fired, plus renewables providing part of that supply. Margins depend on the gap between wholesale energy costs and what customers pay, and power-price swings matter because it both generates and sells.
