PRESENTATION OF EDF GROUP Description of the Group's activities

Netseenergy Netseenergy, a company that is wholly owned by EDF, offers a range of services which enables business customers and regional regional municipalities to optimise the energy performance of their property assets. This company is an important player in the digitalisation of energy management via service offers such as: innovative energy audits: algorithmic control of customers’ energy and real estate ■ property data; data science and big data; performance management of energy and real estate property: automated data ■ collection, mobile applications, customised energy management by an energy manager. (Edev Téléservices) Edelia is a company which is wholly-owned by EDF that designs, develops and implements solutions for monitoring and controlling energy. For more than 12 years, Edelia has acquired expertise in optimising smart home data, through the deployment of many demonstrators, which give meaning to energy data. Edelia produces a range of digital and innovative solutions (“IoT” web platform connecting objects to one another, service hub, applications, websites, assessments, etc.) for the EDF group's customers. In a context of the deployment of smart meters and the development of the smart home, these solutions are modular and tailored to the various users, both private and professional. Data mining from connected objects has expanded the subsidiary's areas of expertise, thus reinforcing its software know-how involving energy coaching. Electric mobility The transportation sector today is very dependent upon fossil energies and is one of the significant sources of emissions of CO 2 . Yet, low-carbon electricity constitutes a lever for developing eco-friendly mobility and transports in a territory. This is why the EDF group is investing in this field, particularly through its subsidiary Sodetrel. The Group’s solutions include: consulting services for regional authorities and businesses on the positioning and ■ scale of electric vehicle charging infrastructure; installation of recharging infrastructure for all customer segments: residential, ■ local authorities and businesses, car parks and supermarkets; remote management and supervision of charging stations. ■ The Group has also participated in experimental ride-sharing in Grenoble, Nice and Monaco. Sodetrel Sodetrel, a company which is wholly owned by EDF, offers a range of electric mobility schemes for local authorities, energy consortia, and businesses. In this regard, it proposes a wide range of offers to its customers, from the provision and installation of charging infrastructure to commercial operation of associated services, also including tools for the supervision of charging stations and key solutions in hand for technical operation and maintenance. Sodetrel is committed to providing smart and connected recharging solutions to optimise energy consumption for the end user (companies or private users) and the energy network. Since 2015, Sodetrel, in the framework of a consortium (1) has deployed a network of 200 rapid-charging stations that are interoperable on highways and compatible with

The company also provides independent assessments and consulting (operational audits, definition of maintenance policies and equipment upgrades) and monitoring assignments for major projects. Its activity is organised around three agencies (Lorette, Audruicq and Nantes), to which the operational branches are attached (Bordeaux, Lyon and Avignon). In 2017, HTMS continued its expansion, with sales up 20% compared to 2016. The company made strong inroads into markets involving HVA maintenance for industrial customers by signing a partnership agreement with the Portuguese company Efacec for the heavy maintenance and repair of power transformers. Heating: CHAM CHAM, an EDF’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is a major player in the field of maintenance and replacement of heating and hot water production equipment in France. It intervenes with residential customers, in individual homes, in public and private collective residences, and with professionals. CHAM carries out more than 700,000 interventions per annum, in order to improve the performance of its customers’ equipment. Third-party investment in energy efficiency: Perfesco Perfesco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDF, provides eco-energy efficiency services that include covering the investment cost and the installation to assist its customers in their energy transition. To do so, this company identifies high-energy consumption items at major economic players and offers to install more economical equipment, making profit based on the savings generated. Gas activities 1.4.6.2 In Europe, the EDF group requires over 25 billion cubic metres of gas, equivalent of half France’s national consumption. As such, EDF has developed a gas strategy to ensure the security of gas supply for its around 5 million customers, its cogeneration plants and its gas power plants. The Group is thus present throughtout the natural gas chain in both France and Europe, mainly through EDF in France and its subsidiaries EDF Energy, EDF Luminus and Edison, that represent, with effect from 1 August 2017, the Group's gas platform, via a contract for services for asset management and the development of its upstream activities (see section 1.4.5.2.1 "EDF group strategy in Italy"). It also relies on EDF Trading for its short-term operations relating to interventions on the continental and United Kingdom wholesale markets, as well as on Dalkia for cogeneration plants. Lastly, the Group is present outside Europe, especially in the United States, where EDF Energy Services is an important natural gas supplier of major industrial customers and distributors. Natural gas end-market 1.4.6.2.1 In Europe, on 31 December 2017, the downstream customer portfolios were as follows: in France (EDF and ÉS): around 1.5 million customers (from retail customers to ■ major industrial players) with consumption of around 35.2TWh in 2017; in Italy (Edison): around 480,000 customer accounts, 6.91Gm 3 of gas (around ■ 73.1TWh) i.e. a market share of 15%; in the UK (EDF Energy) (2) : around 2.0 million customer accounts, 27.8TWh, i.e. ■ around 5% of market share; in Belgium (EDF Luminus): around 611,800 customer accounts, 13.6TWh, i.e. ■ around 18% of market share.
