EDF, a company committed to the energy transition

powered by METRON” offer. Based on machine learning and artificial intelligence models, this analyses energy flows and their interactions with customers’ processes to offer high added value solutions for improved performance. Innovation geared to customer needs Agregio is a subsidiary of the Group directed at renewable electricity producers and companies with load balancing capacity, enabling them to trade this capacity on electricity markets. For electricity producers, Agregio has bespoke offers allowing them to optimise and sell their power on the markets. Agregio is also aimed at industrial and tertiary consumers, who are willing to reduce or shift their consumption in exchange for compensation, according to the needs of the electricity system. EDF ENR enables customers to use the energy generated by their own solar panels and store some of it for use when needed. The offer enables customers to maximise their self-consumption rate, monitor their use online in real time, and thus control their energy spending. EDF Store & Forecast, develops and markets a software solution for energy optimisation of local electricity systems through energy forecasting and storage. EDF adapts its Energy Management System to its customers’ facilities for smart and independent management: management of the variability of renewable energy, services to the electricity system, economic optimisation of the demand/supply balance, maximisation of self-consumption and reduction of energy bills. Fostering the energy transition in towns and 3.2.2.1.3 communities The EDF group is committed to the energy transition of towns and communities, which play a vital role in combating climate change. EDF develops tailor-made solutions to assist local authorities in their energy-related projects. EDF’s support focuses on strategic energy planning and advice, energy generation from local resources, the energy and environmental performance of buildings and facilities, street lighting and mobility. This support is carried out for example through EDF’s participation in projects which include individual and collective self-consumption projects, or local energy management at the level of a building, an island or a district. Examples include the Ydeal Confluence project in Lyon, featuring collective solar self-consumption and operation of a stationary battery; the Niwa project in Vanves, a community digital tool for monitoring different fluids and coaching in consumption control; the So Mel project in Lille (urban digital dashboard and flexibility monitoring); and the H2020 project in Dijon (development of urban “positive energy blocks” in an existing social housing neighbourhood through renovation, the development of local production, local energy management on different scales, and storage solutions). In 2019, Dalkia signed a DSP  (1) for a heating and cooling network at La Grande Motte, for which 66% of the power supply for the network will be SWAC, and inaugurated a new heating and cooling network in Perpignan for which 90% of the power supply comes from heat recovered from an energy-from-waste plant  (2) operated by Dalkia Wastenergy producing 100,000MWh per year. In addition, 54 secondary schools and 4 administrative buildings in Indre et Loire, as well as 45 high schools in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, benefitted from an Energy Performance Contract (CPE)  (3) . Citelum monitors and reduces energy consumption of the public lighting networks, and sets up systems that quickly remedy the problems observed by operators or reported by residents. These systems were set up, for example, in Dijon, but also in Italy, India, Brazil, Mexico and Chile. In 2019 the LuWa consortium, including

Citelum and Luminus, won the tender for the design, upgrading, financing, management, and maintenance of road lighting equipment for the main roads in Belgium’s Walloon region. The 20-year “Light Plan 4.0” will take the form of a public-private partnership. The contract specifies gradual commissioning of the new lighting and renovation of the network infrastructure with LEDs, for a total of around 100,000 lights, over the first four years. In partnership with CSTB  (4) and 17 social landlords, EDF R&D is seeking to identify the innovative technical renovation solutions best suited to social housing with electric heating, and evaluate them as to their energy, environmental, economic, and social aspects. In 2019, EDF R&D assisted Luminus in Ghent, with the integration of a high temperature heat pump in a heating network, thus helping to make the network greener. EDF, a company committed to 3.2.2.2 leveraging the energy transition Mobility, storage, and smart grids form three essential pillars of the energy transition. EDF group launched the Electric Mobility Plan in October 2018, thereby announcing its aim of becoming the leading energy provider in electric mobility by 2022 on its four major European markets. The Electric Mobility Plan focuses on three practical goals: becoming the leading supplier of electricity for electric vehicles by 2022, with the aim of powering 600,000 vehicles (a 30% market share); becoming the leading operator of charging stations, with the aim of rolling out 75,000 charging stations and providing its customers in Europe with access to 250,000 charging stations via interoperability by 2022, through its subsidiary Izivia; becoming the European leader in smart charging  (5) , with the aim of operating 4,000 smart charging stations by 2020. Izivia, a key player in France, is one of the leading network operators, with over 8,000 public and private charging stations operated in 2019. In order to facilitate electric car journeys across Europe, Izivia also provides customers holding an Izivia Pass with access to 100,000 charging stations via interoperability. Smart charging achievements in 2019 include: the creation of DREEV, a joint venture between EDF and Nuvve (a California start-up specialising in V2G) to develop smart charging solutions; a cooperation agreement signed with Nissan aimed at accelerating the rollout of electric mobility, in particular using smart charging for electric vehicles; the acquisition of Powerflex, a pioneering company in the field of electric vehicle charging technology based in California, to create a unique decentralised energy ecosystem combining smart charging solutions, solar power, and storage; the development of a range of service offers aimed at all customer segments. EDF’s commitment for its vehicle fleet The EDF group was the first French Group to sign the “EV100” undertaking, which aims at having a fleet of 100% electric light vehicles by 2030. Of its fleet of light vehicles, currently more than 40,000 vehicles worldwide (mainly in Europe), more than 8% (over 3,500 Electric Vehicles, 800 more vehicles than by end 2018) is already electric. This Group Project includes both the vehicles and charging infrastructure (more than 1,500 sites to be equipped across the world by 2030). Electric mobility 3.2.2.2.1 The Electric Mobility Plan

(2) A waste incineration unit that can produce electricity or heat to supply a network. (3) A CPE is “an agreement between a contracting authority and an energy efficiency service provider aimed at ensuring improved energy performance for a building or set of buildings with respect to a contractual baseline, verified and measured over time, by means of investment in works, supplies, or services”. (4) Building Scientific and Technical Centre (CSTB). (5) Electric mobility will result in the transformation of electricity systems because an electric vehicle can also serve as a battery, made available to networks and contributing to network balancing during peak periods of energy use.
