This is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). EDF Energy must give you a copy of your personal data, tell you why they hold it, who they've shared it with, and how long they'll keep it — free of charge, within one calendar month.
How to contact EDF Energy
The most reliable route is to email your request to dpo@edfenergy.com. A postal address is also accepted as a fallback: EDF Energy, 90 Whitfield Street, London, W1T 4EZ.
What happens next
EDF Energy may ask you to verify your identity before responding — this is normal. Once your request (and identity, if needed) is confirmed, the one-month clock starts. If the deadline lands on a weekend or bank holiday, it rolls to the next working day.
Common questions
Is there a fee to request my data from EDF Energy?
No — under UK GDPR, organisations including EDF Energy must provide a copy of your personal data free of charge in almost all cases.
How long does EDF Energy have to respond?
One calendar month from the day they receive your request, or from the day your identity is confirmed if they need to verify it first.
What's the best way to contact EDF Energy about this?
The most reliable route is to email your request to dpo@edfenergy.com. A postal address is also usually accepted as a fallback.
What if EDF Energy doesn't respond in time?
You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Right-of-access complaints made up 39% of all complaints in the ICO's Annual Report 2023/24 — more than any other category, around 15,000-15,800 in a single year.
For guidance only — this isn't legal advice, and DataDeadline isn't a party to your request or a representative for EDF Energy. Verify anything deadline-critical against current ICO guidance.
