Cegedel S.A.—known as the Compagnie Grand-Ducale d'Électricité du Luxembourg until 17 May 1997—was an electricity distribution enterprise headquartered in Luxembourg, operating under a legally granted concession. The company was responsible for delivering approximately 70% of the nation's electrical power, amounting to 6,616 GWh.

Ownership was primarily held by the Luxembourg Government, which possessed a one-third share. Other significant stakeholders included Luxempart-Energie with 30.4%, SNCI holding 12%, and Electrabel owning 8%. Cegedel’s stock was publicly traded on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and formed part of the LuxX Index.

In response to the liberalization of the European energy market, Enovos Gruppe took over Cegedel along with Soteg, the gas distribution company, in 2009. This acquisition led to the creation of Creos Luxembourg, tasked with overseeing both electricity and gas network operations.
