1. The Group, its strategy and activities Description of the Group’s activities

Nuclear power generation in France 1.4.1.1 The electricity generated by EDF in France from its fleet of nuclear power plants represented 89.8% of its total electricity generation in 2019 excluding pumped storage hydropower. EDF’s nuclear fleet in France 1.4.1.1.1 EDF’s PWR model is divided into three series of available electrical power: a 900MW series consisting of 34 units of approximately 900MW (for a total ■ power capacity of 30,770MW) with an average age of 38 years; a 1,300MW series consisting of 20 units of approximately 1,300MW (for a total ■ power capacity of 26,370MW) with an average age of 31 years; the N4 series, which is the most recent with an average age of 19 years, ■ consisting of 4 units of approximately 1,500MW (for a total power capacity of 5,990MW); for a total of 58 units spread over 19 sites owned by EDF, and constituting a total authorised capacity of 63,130MW as at 31 December 2019. With an average age of approximately 34 years, EDF’s nuclear fleet is about average compared to the fleets installed worldwide. The commissioning and most recent ten-year inspection (VD) dates for these units as of end-2019 are as follows:

Other geographic areas and subsidiaries At the end of 2019, the Group also has an installed capacity for electricity generation of 33.5GW (with 129TWh of electricity generated in 2019): through EDF Renewables (see section 1.4.1.5.4 “EDF Renewables”) with a ■ consolidated installed capacity of 6GW and output of approximately 15TWh; through overseas departments’ Island Energy Systems and PEI with an installed ■ capacity of 2.1GW and output of approximately 6TWh in 2019 (see section 1.4.4.3 “Island Energy Systems”); through EDF Energy in the UK with an installed capacity of 12.2GW  (1) and nearly ■ 60TWh generated in 2019 (see section 1.4.5.1 “United Kingdom”); through Edison with an installed capacity in electricity of 7GW and 22TWh ■ generated in 2019  (2) (see section 1.4.5.2 “Italy”); in the rest of the world with a consolidated installed capacity of 4GW and output ■ of 22TWh (see section 1.4.5.3 “Other international”); through contribution from Dalkia (see section 1.4.6.1.1 “Dalkia”), excluding heat ■ generation, with an installed capacity in electricity of 2.2GW and output of 4TWh in 2019.

Of note in 2019 is the success of ten-year inspection no. 4 (VD4) on the Tricastin unit (see section 1.4.1.1.5 “Preparing for the future of the nuclear fleet in France”). The unit was decoupled on 1 June 2019 and diverged after the ten-year inspection on 19 December 2019. The VD2 ten-year inspection of the Chooz B2 unit, decoupled on 15 March 2019 and re-coupled after the ten-year visit on 6 August 2019, was also successful.
