PRESENTATION OF EDF GROUP Description of the Group's activities

ZEC, now operating under the Dalkia name and brand The ZEC company is mainly specialised in the generation and distribution of heat in the region of Katowice in Poland (Upper Silesia). It has recognised expertise in the energy recovery of mine gas as an alternative to coal to be used by heating networks and electricity distribution facilities. Fenice Rus, now operating under the Dalkia name and brand Specialised in energy efficiency for industrial customers, Fenice Rus is one of the pioneers in the energy services sector in Russia. Imtech, jointly held by Dalkia and EDF Energy, is specialised in thermal and electrical engineering, technical maintenance of facilities and the integration of acquisition and data control systems in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Imtech provides its services to the construction, industry and tertiary sectors and local authorities. Groom Energy Solutions Groom Energy Solutions LLC provides companies and industrial customers with a comprehensive approach to consultancy, project management and the performance of energy efficiency work, with nationwide coverage in the United States. Aegis Energy Services Based in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and acquired in August 2018, Aegis Energy Services LLC specialises in designing, building and commissioning small gas cogeneration plants in Northeastern United States. The firm has installed just under 1,000 cogeneration plants since it was founded in 1985. Citelum 1.4.6.1.2 Citelum is the subsidiary of the EDF group dedicated to smart lighting and connected services, and one of the leading players in the field in France and throughout the world. With roughly 500 employees in France, Citelum employs 2,500 people, mainly in Europe (including France, Italy, Spain and Denmark) and in America (including the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Chile), which enables it to manage the services of leading cities throughout the world (Mexico City, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Rome, etc.). At the end of 2018, Citelum managed over 3 million street lights all over the world, lighting the way for 30 million residents. The technological changes in lighting equipment currently enable it to make use of an existing connected infrastructure, thereby facilitating energy savings, remote management of installations and improvements to security as well as showcasing cultural heritage. In addition, this lighting equipment, connected to other devices (sensors, cameras, etc.), offers new value-added services in the areas of the prevention of pollution, video-monitoring of the territory, information to users or the management of urban mobility and parking. Citelum operates on the following three value chains: increasing attractiveness for customers through the optimisation of lighting, ■ while limiting energy expenditure; improving perceived security by optimising the use of the allocated resources; ■ creating more fluid mobility and parking, promoting an increase in receipts from ■ customers. Citelum marks out its difference through its capacity to assist in all phases of a project, from design and completion of the works to operation and maintenance, by incorporating into its service offer: financing solutions, innovation with its Citegestion subsidiary's digital urban space management platform, MUSE ® , and strong skills in contractual engineering. In 2018 Citelum finished upgrading the lighting in 10 Renault plants in France. By upgrading 115,000 lights to LEDs and removing 35,000 others, general lighting was optimised and lights were better positioned, enabling Renault to save 60% a year on its energy bill and improve working conditions while ensuring worker safety. Now the plants are better suited to workers' needs and production quality targets in an environment where precision and safety are paramount.

Greater Dijon received delivery in due course of the following MUSE ® platform services for its connected public spaces management project: MUSE ® GMAO (computerised maintenance management system), MUSE ® GCI (centralised action management system) and MUSE ® Main Courante (record-keeping system). In 2018 Citelum, together with Viola, won the contract to design, upgrade, operate and maintain the street lights and traffic lights of the commune of Asnières-sur-Seine for a period of eight years. Once upgraded, 76% of the lights will be LEDs, resulting in energy savings of over 80%. During the contract, new connected services will be rolled out through the MUSE ® platform, such as pedestrian crossing lights, smart parking, IoT infrastructure, and lighting of heritage sites and high streets. In 2018, under its Plan Lumières 4.0, SOFICO (the Wallonia infrastructure investment fund) awarded the PPP contract to replace the lights on the highways in Wallonia to the LuWa consortium made up of Citelum, EDF-Luminus, CFE and DIF. The project to refit Wallonia's highway network with “smart” LED lights will take 20 years to complete. In Mexico Citelum was chosen for the lighting of the BBVA Bancomer Tower in the heart of Mexico City and won the highway lighting contract for the road network linking 10 cities in the State of Mexico. In Chile, Citelum undertook lighting works under a PPP with the city of Independencia. Under the 10-year project, 7,300 street lights were replaced with LEDs. In Brazil in 2018 Citelum won the contract to manage 34,000 street lights in Macapá, the capital of the state of Amapá. In India Citelum partnered with Tata Projects to win a new contract to install and operate 70,000 street lights in Noida, a satellite city of New Delhi. In Italy in 2018 Citelum won two CEV master agreements to install indoor lighting in public buildings in Lombardy, Emilie Romagne and Tuscany. In Denmark Citelum added Copenhagen's traffic lights to its portfolio in the country which also includes the street lights of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Hillerød, Albertslund and Furesø. During the year Citelum introduced new innovative services such as a smart parking system in Toulouse (France), a noise sensor & street light modulation system in Sant Cugat (Spain) and a biodiversity protection programme to measure and reduce light pollution in Almeria (Spain). EDF Pulse Expansion 1.4.6.1.3 Innovation has always been at the core of EDF's strategy. In June 2017, in order to broaden the scope of its activities, the EDF group created a new structure called EDF New Business to act as EDF's startup incubator. In October 2018 EDF New Business was renamed EDF Pulse Expansion to bring it under the Group's innovation arm (EDF Pulse) and raise its profile. The purpose of EDF Pulse Expansion is to look into the energy shift and digital transition and create new growth drivers for the Group by providing innovative and competitive products and services to households, businesses and local authorities. With a financing capacity of €30 million a year (not counting extraordinary projects), EDF Pulse Expansion plans to invest in at least ten startups by the end of 2019. Four areas will be prioritised: business and manufacturing efficiency; ■ residential services; ■ sustainable town and country planning; ■ decentralised energy systems. ■ As both an investment fund and an intrapreneurship incubator, EDF Pulse Expansion boasts a tight-knit team that works closely with EDF's R&D and functional Divisions as well as all of the Group's resources committed to open innovation and partnerships with startups.
