PRESENTATION OF EDF GROUP Description of the Group's activities

France In 2017 the Montagne Ardéchoise wind farm – the most powerful wind farm in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region covering six communes in the Ardèche département – was commissioned with an installed capacity of 66.5MW of which 57.5MW is owned by EDF EN. Several other wind farms also came into operation during the year, namely 4 Vallées 3 (16MW), Belfays (20MW), Carnoye (19.8MW) and Champagne Picarde (72.6MW). Several wind farms are under construction, namely Espiers (18MW), Guilleville (17.7MW), Les Taillades (27.2MW), Clanlieu (18MW) and the last unit of Montagne Ardéchoise (7.1MW). EDF EN and Arkolia, a firm specializing in biomethanation and solar and wind energy, entered into a partnership to develop, build and run two wind farms in France's Occitanie region (where Arkolia is based) with a total capacity of 84MW. Under this partnership EDF EN and Arkolia acquired an equal share of IDEX's stake in the Haut Dourdou wind farm (57MW) in the Aveyron département and the Croix de Bor wind farm (27MW) in the Lozère département which are at an advanced stage of development. For its part Futuren began construction of the Demange wind farm (19.8MW) in the commune of Demange-aux-Eaux in the Meuse département as well as the Courant-Nachamps wind farm (21MW) under construction at the time of acquisition. Futuren's wind power capacity brought EDF EN's gross installed wind power capacity in France to 1,449.2MW at 31 December 2017 with another 128.8MW of onshore wind power under construction. UK EDF Energy Renewables (50/50 joint venture with EDF Energy) operated a total gross wind power capacity of 628.3MW at end 2017 (a net capacity of 190MW). In 2017 EDF Energy Renewable commissioned the Beckburn wind farm (31.1MW) and continued construction of the Dorenell wind farm (177MW) in Scotland. Moreover EDF Energy Renewable acquired 11 wind farm projects under development in Scotland with a potential capacity of 600MW. EDF Energy Renewable also sold 80% of two subsidiaries that own the Bicker (10.4MW) and Fenlands (27.2MW) wind farms. Germany With the acquisition of Futuren and its installed capacity, the Group reached a gross installed wind power capacity of 151.3MW in Germany at 31 December 2017. EDF EN also activated the repowering of the Eckölstadt wind farm (34.5MW). Italy With the acquisition of Futuren and its installed capacity, the Group reached a gross installed wind power capacity of 424.2MW in Italy at 31 December 2017. Portugal The extension of phase 2 of the Arada wind farm (11.8MW) began in 2017. The Group currently operates 534.7MW of wind power capacity in Italy. Turkey In 2017 EDF EN commissioned the Samurlu 3 (9.4MW) and Kozbeyili 3 (2.4MW) wind farms. To date, EDF EN has installed 661,6MW in gross capacity in the country. South Africa In South Africa EDF EN runs three wind farms following its successful bid in the government’s call for tenders representing a total gross installed capacity of 107.6MW. United States The Group operates in the United States through EDF Renewable Energy (EDF RE), an independent renewable energy producer that is wholly owned by EDF EN. At the end of 2017, EDF RE reached an installed capacity of 3,589.5MW gross (or 2,667.5MW net) in onshore wind. In the year EDF RE commissioned the Red Pine (200MW) wind farm and the Rock Falls (154MW) wind farm for which it signed a “virtual” electricity supply contract

with Kimberly Clark Corporation for 120MW of the 154MW. It also began construction of the Copenhagen (80MW) and Stoneray (100MW) wind farms. Moreover EDF RE signed a contract with Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, to supply 200MW of installed capacity generated by the Glacier Edge wind farm to be built in Iowa. With the sale of 50% of the Great Western wind farm went 112.5MW of capacity. Canada At end-2017, the Group’s total gross installed wind power capacity in Canada was 724.7MW (or 588.4MW net). The Nicolas Riou (224.5MW) wind farm, located in Quebec in the Lower St. Lawrence region, awarded following a call for tenders in 2013, came into operation. It is jointly held by EDF EN Canada (50%), Régie Intermunicipale de l’Énergie du Bas-Saint-Laurent (33%) (an entity belonging to the regional county municipalities of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region and the Maliseet First Nation of Viger) and Régie Intermunicipale de l’Énergie Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine (17%). Mexico At end-2017, the Group’s total gross installed wind power capacity in Mexico was 391.5MW (or 229.5MW net). China In 2017 UPC AWM, a subsidiary of EDF EN, began construction of the Kangping II and III wind farms (96MW). Part of the Feicheng I wind farm came into operation (24.4MW) with the remaining 25.1MW under construction. At end-2017, the Group’s total gross installed wind power capacity in China was 198.4MW (or 85.9MW net). India In 2017 SITAC Wind Management and Development, a firm specializing in wind energy jointly held in equal share by EDF EN and SITAC, brought three wind farms in Gujarat into operation – G1.2 Sukavala (64MW), G2 Pipartoda (26MW) and G4 Raipar (22MW) – bringing the Group's gross installed capacity to 164MW (82MW net). Brazil In 2017 EDF EN Do Brasil commissioned the Ventos de Bahia I wind farm (66MW) in the state of Bahia. Moreover, the Company began construction of its Ventos de Bahia II project, for which a long-term electricity supply contract of 116MW over 20 years was won in late 2015 as part of a federal reserve auction. Chile EDF EN Chile's first wind farm, Cabo Leones 1, is under construction and will have a gross installed capacity of 115MW. Morocco EDF EN is continuing to develop the Taza wind farm (150MW). With the acquisition of Futuren the Group's total gross installed capacity in Morocco reached 50.4MW. wind power Offshore wind power will be a growth driver for EDF EN over the next few years. In France it won three projects in 2012 under the call for tenders issued by the French government, namely the offshore wind farms in Fécamp, Saint-Nazaire and Calvados. Together they make up a total capacity of 1,428MW and cost around €6 billion. All relevant permits for the three wind farms were granted. However, appeals were filed on each of the three wind farms, pushing back the initially planned dates for the investment decision. In 2016 a partnership with the Canadian producer Enbridge (replacing DONG Energy) was signed to develop, build and operate the three jointly-owned (50/50) wind farms. In 2017 EDF EN continued to develop the three wind farms. In the UK in 2017 EDF EN commissioned the Blyth pilot offshore wind farm (41.5MW) in the north-east of England. The innovative project was an opportunity to test and for the first time use new offshore wind farm methods and technology such as 8.3MW MHI Vestas turbines (among the most powerful used on an offshore wind farm), “float and submerge” gravity-based foundations and 66kV underwater interconnecting cables.
