PRESENTATION OF EDF GROUP Description of the Group's activities

Lastly, EDF Renewables US set up at the end of 2018 with Shell New Energies US, LLC (Shell) a joint-venture equally owned, called Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, LLC for the development of offshore wind projects at the site known as OCS-0499, in the New Jersey Wind Energy Area (WEA), as part of a lease issued by US Federal authorities. The area covered by the lease has a potential for wind power generation of about 2,500MW. This operation is subject to obtaining the regulatory permits. Construction is subject to the final investment decision. The leased site covers an area of 74,200 hectares. It is approximately 13 kilometres off the coast of Atlantic City, on a US outer continental shelf (OCS). This area has substantial and regular wind resources in relatively shallow waters near large cities with high electricity consumption. Photovoltaic solar power EDF Renewables pursued growth in solar photovoltaics, its second area of growth. At end 2018, gross installed solar capacity was 2,402.3MWp (1,343.8MWp net), up by 202.3 MWp net i.e. 18%, compared to end 2017. EDF Renewables also has a portfolio of solar projects under construction comprising 1,111.4MWp gross. France EDF Renewables reached 230.4MW gross installed solar capacity in France at 31 December 2018. EDF Renewables has taken steps to contribute to the EDF Solar Plan launched by the Group in December 2017, which aims to develop and construct over the period 2020-2035, 30GWc of solar photovoltaic projects in France, in addition to its other activities for the development of renewable energies in France and internationally, contained in the EDF group’s CAP 2030 strategic plan. In order to step up its growth in solar power, EDF is implementing a strategy covering all market segments, based on an integrated development model for projects up to their operation, the quest for industrial excellence and continued investment in innovation. This strategy leverages EDF's research and development and the territorial networking of EDF's teams dedicated to local authorities and businesses. The lands targeted as a priority are sites referred to as “damaged”, i.e. industrial wastelands, polluted, abandoned or former quarry sites, which can be rehabilitated with the development of photovoltaic projects. Furthermore, the Aramon solar project (5MWp), in the Aramon commune in the Gard and carried out by EDF Renewables following the CRE 4 call for tenders relating to land-based solar farms, went through a crowdfunding campaign in 2018 on WiSEED, the leading digital investment platform. This campaign was conducted with the inhabitants of the 7 departments neighbouring the Department of Gard to contribute to the financing of the construction of the photovoltaic plant on the site of a thermal plant under decommissioning in Aramon. EDF Renewables has also launched a crowdfunding campaign for the photovoltaic project of Saint-Pargoire on the digital investment platform WiSEED. This campaign aims to raise €200,000 from inhabitants of Hérault and its four neighbouring departments to contribute to the financing of the construction of a photovoltaic plant. Lazer, the first floating solar plant of the EDF group on the Buëch, in the Hautes Alpes, was selected for the ground-based solar call for tenders launched by the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition. The solar panels of this project of a maximum power of 20MWp will be installed on 24 hectares on the hydroelectric reservoir i.e. three-quarters of the water body's total area. North America (USA and Canada) In 2018, EDF Renewables North America launched the construction of the solar plants of Valentine Solar (134MWp) and of Maverick 2 & 3 (210MWp). It has also signed two twenty-year power purchase agreements relating to the Big Beau Solar+Storage project, in California, in Kern country. With a capacity of 128MWac, the facility is connected to 40MW (160MWh) of battery storage. 55% of the electricity generated by the facility will be sold to Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) and 45% to Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP), two local electricity suppliers. EDF Renewables North America and Shell Energy North America (US), L.P. (SENA) have also signed a fifteen-year power purchase agreement (PPA) relating to energy generation of a unit of 132MWp (100MWac) of the photovoltaic project of Palen (500MWac), called Maverick 4, in the Riverside

county of the State of California, in the heart of the Mojave Desert. The construction of this project has been launched. In 2018, in Canada, EDF Renewables Canada also started the construction of the Barlow (18.2MWp) and Pendleton (19.8MWp) solar plants. In North America the Group has a total gross installed photovoltaic solar power capacity of 455.4MWp. Mexico The Group entered the Mexican solar power market in 2016 by winning the Bluemex project following a national call for tenders. Located in the state of Sonora, the plant (119.6MW) was commissioned at the end of 2018. India In 2018, the Group owns a gross total solar capacity of 207MWp in service in India, via EDEN, the common subsidiary created in 2016 by EDF Renewables and EREN Renewable Energy to run the solar photovoltaic power activities of the two partners in India. Brazil In 2018, EDF Renewables Brazil commissioned the Pirapora II project (114.9MWp). With the Pirapora I (191MWp) and Pirapora III (92.6MWp) projects, commissioned in 2017, Pirapora II is the last phase of the Pirapora photovoltaic complex located in the South-East of Brazil, with a total capacity of approximately 400MWp. The Pirapora complex is equally owned by EDF Renewables and Omega, a local energy player, following the acquisition in end-2018 by Omega of Canadian Solar's stake and of 30% of the shares of EDF Renewables. Chile In 2018, EDF Renewables Chile commissioned the Santiago solar photovoltaic plant (115MWp) located to the north of the Chilean capital. The Group now has 261MW of gross installed solar capacity in Chile. Israel In Israel, EDF Renewables commissioned five solar photovoltaic power plants totalling 101MWp of installed capacity: the solar plants of Mashabai Sadeh (60MWp), Melfasim 2 (13.4MWp), Peduyim (14.1MWp), Kfar Maimon (6.7MWp), and Bitcha (7.4MWp), in the Negev desert. The Group now runs 17 solar plants in Israel, totalling a gross installed solar capacity of 295.1MWp. The Group has also launched the construction of the Timna (60MW) and Shoresh (27MW) solar plants. United Arab Emirates (Dubai) EDF Renewables joined the consortium led by Masdar to develop the “DEWA III” project which is the third phase (1,062MW) of one of the most powerful solar farm projects in the world, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar farm, which is being developed in partnership with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) near Dubai. The plant will be commissioned in three phases. In 2018, a first unit of 266MW (phase A) was commissioned and the construction of a second unit of 394MW (phase B) was launched. Egypt EDF Renewables entered the Egyptian market by joining forces with Elsewedy Electric to develop, build and operate two photovoltaic plants with a total installed capacity of 130MWac. Located in the south of the country the two plants form part of the Benban solar complex (1.8GWac) and come with a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC). perating & Maintenance As an integrated operator, EDF Renewables operates and maintains most of its own wind and solar facilities. Dedicated first and foremost to EDF group wind and solar assets, this activity is also carried out on behalf of third parties. Worldwide, EDF Renewables operates 15.1GW at end-December 2018 with over 1,300 experts, engineers and technicians across eleven countries. EDF Renewables has long been active in the operation-maintenance field in North America where it manages close to 10.8GW. The business has grown in Europe and the rest of the world with a total capacity of over 4.4GW at end 2018.
