OUR
FUTURE
IS
ELECTRIC.
The future is being written now –at home,
at work, on the move and in the city.
Electricity is everywhere. Electricity is life,
determining our performance and
supporting our wellbeing. We are now
all active participants in this electric world.
Cities, businesses and individuals can now
generate electricity and sell it. But we are
not only active producers, we are also
active energy consumers and savers.
The revolution is under way and everything
is possible. Resources such as wind, sun
and water are available everywhere and
they are infinite; technologies exist and
are rapidly developing to enable us to
produce, integrate and consume energy
from all sources.
AND IT’S
ALREADY
HERE.

A new era in customer relations.
The digital revolution is introducing
new rules to the game.
Customers can now
monitor their electricity
and gas consumption
in real time on a tablet
or smartphone.
The informed consumer
is also fast becoming
a producer. By the end
of 2015, there were
343,000 electricity
producers in France.
The new residential, business and
local authority producers are driving
their own energy transition by
generating low-carbon electricity
and consuming less and better.
EDF is supporting them with advice
and customised solutions to help
them optimise their consumption
and environmental impact.

95%
of all distributed generation
is connected to the grid.
WELL
CONTAINED
STORAGE
If we are to make a success of the energy transition,
we have to decouple electricity generation and
consumption. Electricity storage –especially in batteries–
is a key way to do this. Above all, it is the key to making
electric mobility possible and supporting the growth of
renewable energy. The use of renewable energy, which is
often intermittent, is spreading fast and the trend is
accelerating. France, for example, has decided to raise
the proportion of renewables in energy consumption
to 23% by 2020. Hydroelectric dams remain the easiest
way to store renewable electricity generation potential,
but the focus is also on optimising storage of wind
and photovoltaic solar power. EDF and its partners –such
as Forsee Power, in which EDF is a shareholder, and the
startup Store & Forecast– are working to do this. Store &
Forecast is developing systems that use storage solutions
to boost the amount of power supplied to the existing
electricity grid.
15
In Montsinéry-Tonnegrande, French Guiana. EDF Energies Nouvelles operates the
Toucan solar farm. To absorb the surplus energy generated and export it to the grid as
needed, the EDF subsidiary has devised a one-of-a-kind large-capacity storage solution
made up of 288batteries held in five containers. The facility’s electrical equipment is
managed remotely using innovative software developed jointly by EDF Store & Forecast and
EDF Energies Nouvelles.
17
TOWERING
ACHIEVEMENT
In McHenry County, Illinois. EDF Renewable Energy in the United States has commissioned
an innovative storage system that combines an energy storage battery and computerised
control software. The system consists of 11containers with 1.8MW capacity, each equipped
with lithium-ion batteries. The facility can deliver nearly 20MW and provide frequency
regulation for the local grid.
19
In Badaling, China. EDF and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are working together on a
thermodynamic solar power plant prototype. A total of 100 large mirrors reflect the sun’s rays to
the top of a 108 metre high twisted tower. The plant is equipped with a one-hour storage
system using oil and steam.

WELCOME TO THE LOW-CARBON
SMART HOME
An all- elec tric pilot home opened at the
Les Renardières centre near Paris in early 2016.
The Low-Carbon Smart Home is fully instrumented and equipped with state-of-the-art
smart low-carbon technology including radiant
panels, heat pumps, thermodynamic water
heaters, photovoltaic panels, and heat and electricity storage systems. The scalable experimental home is a genuine research laboratory
focusing on bringing electrical flexibility into the
home and making homes smart so that new
services can be offered.

The smart meter. It is the
first step towards the home
of the future. The meter
gives customers access to a
wealth of information about
their consumption via the
Internet. Customers respond
by changing their energy
consumption habits.
The smart meter will thereby
help improve the quality
of the network and the
way it is operated.

Netatmo, the smart thermostat, enables people to use
their smartphone to control home heating from any location
and reduce their consumption.

(1) Temporary reduction of electricity consumption.
Fitted with sensors, grids are getting smarter
and smarter. They are the nerve centre in efforts
to integrate intermittent electricity generation,
manage electric vehicle charging infrastructure
and provide customers with the full range of
information they need to control their energy
consumption in real time. EDF Group’s distribution
arm, an independent subsidiary, is leading or
contributing towards a variety of major demonstration
projects in France and throughout Europe to develop
and test at full-scale the grids of the future. The grids
will be able to communicate quickly with each
other and anticipate customer load management(1)

DEMONSTRATION ON A GRAND SCALE! Smart Grid Vendée is experimenting with energy optimisation at local authority
level. Some 150local authorities, 100service sector buildings and 10,000public lighting systems are involved in this large-scale
experiment. VENTEEA(1), in France’s Aube department, assesses the potential of smart grids for integrating wind generating
capacity in a rural grid. The 1.3MWh storage system uses lithium-ion batteries with a rated capacity of 2MW. The system –the first
of its kind in France– started up in June2015. (1) VENTEEA: see natural energy transform electricity system operation in the Aube department.

Smart city.

Cities are undergoing their own digital revolution.
With digital technology, the city consumes less energy
and life there becomes easier and more pleasant.
Elected officials and local decision-makers acquire
tools to visualise and model their city in 3D, simulate
future consumption using multiple criteria and
remotely control equipment, such as public lighting
and district heating and cooling systems, in real time.
This intelligence will only be possible if it is “collective”,
so it starts with the people and organisations who
make up and participate in the city sharing their big
data. EDF is one such organisation, supporting cities
by developing solutions for urban planning, energy
efficiency, urban lighting renovation and remote
management, waste management and the circular
economy. With subsidiaries Citelum for smart lighting
and associated smart services, Dalkia for energy
efficiency and regional energy recovery and use of
renewable energy sources, and TIRU for waste
management, EDF delivers both comprehensive and
customised solutions.

In the southern French city
of Sète, Citelum and
Sogetralec, two companies
specialising in urban lighting,
have been supporting the
city’s energy transition since
2013. Sète has undertaken
a programme aimed at
reducing its CO2 emissions
by 20% between now
and 2020 (Sète2.0).
60% energy savings over
20years, of which 50%
after four years.
18% of light points removed.
100% of globe lights and
fluorescent globes removed.
3,091LED lights and
167streetlights with

25% of all CO2emissions come from urban transport,
which accounts for 70% of all urban emissions responsible
for climate change in the European Union(1).

TIRU operates the Syctom
waste-to-energy plant
in Issy-les-Moulineaux,
on the outskirts of Paris.
2/3 of the plant, which is fully
blended into the urban environment,
is located underground.
The plant receives
460,000tonnes
of household waste
every year,
which it converts to electricity and
district heating to supply nearly
80,000people in a dynamic
circular economy loop.

and helped produce a portion of the island’s
drinking water. In future, TIRU will handle
all waste on the island at a complex comprising
a waste-to-energy plant, a waste drop-off centre,
a sorting centre and a composting facility,
setting quite an example for the
neighbouring islands.
3 million tonnes

Companies, government departments and energy efficiency.
Cities, businesses and government
departments have substantial energy needs.
They include management of heating and
cooling systems, use of compressed air and
steam, lighting for buildings and workstations,
power for operating machine tools, to give
just a few examples. Electricity and gas are
a crucial part of their activity and a major
item in their budgets. Annual energy
consumption of one industrial site can
sometimes be as high as the yearly
consumption of a city with a population
of 200,000. EDF helps them reduce their
consumption and boost their productivity
and environmental performance. With
Dalkia, the Group is accelerating the
expansion of its energy efficiency activity
in France and staking out expanded
business in Europe. In Poland, for example,
in 2015 Dalkia acquired the ZEC Katowice
company, which specialises in district
heating generation and distribution
in the Katowice region.

In a historic result, on
12December 2015, COP21
concluded with the adoption
of the Paris Agreement,
approved by the
195countries attending.
The global political and
strategic agreement aims
to keep temperature rises
to within 1.5°C in 2100.
Countries are central
to this agreement
but civil society, and
more particularly local
authorities and
businesses, are leading
participants. Some of the
commitments are set out in the Solution
Agenda. Some 11,300 commitments
were on the April2016 agenda(1).
As a partner to the Paris climate
conference, EDF is a key player
in the fight against the effects of
greenhouse gases. The Group’s energy
mix provides a secure supply of
affordable, low-carbon electricity. The
Group develops and operates low-carbon
solutions including nuclear, hydroelectric,
solar and wind generation. It is now
the world’s leading nuclear operator,
the leading European producer

Nuclear
EDF is the global benchmark for nuclear power generation. The Group is the world’s leading nuclear
operator with 73 reactors in France and the UK. In
2015, the Group exceeded its targets for nuclear
generation, achieving 416.8TWh in France due to
effective control of planned outages, and 60.6TWh
in the UK, the highest output in 10 years and
achieved alongside a best-ever safety performance.
Generation of competitive, low-carbon nuclear
electricity accounted for 78% of the Group’s output in 2015. The French nuclear industry is entering
a new era as work gets underway on the Grand
Carénage programme to extend the life of the
country’s existing nuclear plants, as progress is
made on its large new nuclear projects and through
the coming together of EDF and Areva NP which
paves the way for the industry’s renewal.

French
nuclear power plants
are designed to be flexible,
meaning that they can continuously
adjust their output to match variations in
consumption. This unique expertise is now
being reinforced to support the development
of intermittent renewable energy sources and
their integration into the grid. The result is that
a 1,300MW reactor can reduce generation by
900MW within 30minutes, twice a day. With the
nuclear fleet’s enhanced ability to “modulate”
generation, the industry is able to avoid the use
of conventional thermal plants to cope with solar
and wind intermittency and sudden increases
in consumption.

During the long weekend of 8May 2015, the consumption
level in France was very low and the country was exporting
electricity. On 9May, a 6,600MW variation in demand was
recorded, while variation in generation of renewable electricity
reached nearly 4,800MW. Demand and supply had to be
matched. It was mainly the modular nuclear fleet that balanced
the load, since renewable energy sources are not able to do so.
Nuclear power was lowered by up to 9,000MW and power
variations of over 5,000MW had to be made.

2015 was a decisive year in the budding story of the new nuclear sector in France and in other
countries. These projects open the door to new opportunities for the French nuclear industry and
will give EDF a competitive edge when the issue of the renewal of the French fleet has to be
addressed.

Flamanville3, a major industrial project for the French nuclear sector and an
important contributor to its international reputation, includes the latest innovations
in safety and risk protection. In September 2015, EDF committed to three key
milestones for the commissioning of the EPR. The first is related to the primary
circuit assembly. The reactor is scheduled to begin operation at the end of 2018.
In China, progress continued to be made on the two EPR units at the Taishan
new nuclear project in Guangdong Province. In 2015, a key stage was reached
on reactor No.1 with the successful completion of the first cold tests, including
the hydraulic test of the primary circuit. The first hot tests are to take place
in 2016 and will involve operating the primary and secondary circuits at normal
pressure and temperature.

THE NEW FRENCH NUCLEAR INDUSTRY
STRATEGIC AGREEMENT SIGNED
In early 2016, EDF took a further step towards acquiring AREVA’s reactor
manufacturing and maintenance activities by agreeing with AREVA on the final
valuation of the businesses involved. With the strategic partnership set up between
the two companies, EDF is now positioned as the leader of the new French nuclear
industry. The partnership is the springboard for EDF’s development in nuclear new
build and international expansion in the years ahead.
On 21October 2015, EDF and China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN)
signed a strategic investment agreement to build and operate two EPR units at
Hinkley Point C (HPC) in south-west England. With the UK seeking to secure
supplies of low-carbon energy, the project benefits from a contract for difference
which sets the price for electricity generated from HPC. In addition, the contract
has been approved by the European Commission and is secure in the long term.
A final decision on the project remains subject to certain conditions. It has the full
support of the French and British governments.

KICK-OFF FOR
THE GRAND
CARÉNAGE
PROGRAMME
The Grand Carénage is the industrial
programme undertaken by EDF to
renovate and upgrade the existing
French nuclear fleet by further increasing
its safety and extending its operating life
beyond 40 years. In 2015, the Blayais
nuclear power station became the
27th plant to complete the renewal
of all its steam generators. The
replacement of major components
and the installation of emergency
backup diesel units is planned in 2016
as part of the work undertaken in
the wake of the Fukushima accident.
51BILLION
current euros invested
in the 2014-2025 period.

95g/KWh In 2015, EDF Group’s CO2emissions fell below the 100g/kWh mark. This decrease is due to the
shutdown of coal-fired plants and their replacement by CCGT (excluding life cycle analysis of generating plant
and fuel).
RENEWABLE ENERGY
— NO. 1 producer of renewable energy in Europe — 36% of gross
development investments was devoted to renewable energy in 2015, i.e. nearly €2billion — 9,063MW
gross installed capacity at EDF Energies Nouvelles at the end of 2015 — 1,409MW gross capacity under
construction at EDF Energies Nouvelles at the end of 2015 — Increase from 28GW to 50GW from
renewables by 2030.
125
Hydro
Hydropower is EDF’s leading renewable energy source,
accounting for 22GW installed capacity across the
Group. Due to its flexibility and responsiveness,
hydroelectric generation can supply the grid at any
time to supplement solar and wind power, which are
intermittent renewable energy sources. Hydro also
provides the frequency and voltage control services
required to keep the grid in balance. EDF is engaged in
a major works programme to upgrade its hydroelectric
fleet and optimise performance at facilities such as
Romanche-Gavet in France. With 433plants of widely
differing sizes spread across mainland France, EDF’s
hydro teams have developed one-of-a-kind expertise
that is widely respected throughout the world. The
hydropower sector is a key driver of the Group’s
international expansion. The Sinop dam under
construction in Brazil and the Nachtigal Amont project
in Cameroon are cases in point.

Wind power is the leading development focus at EDF
Energies Renouvelables. In this field, the EDF subsidiary
is particularly well established in Europe and North
America. In 2015, the Ensemble Éolien Catalan wind
farm was commissioned in France’s Pyrenées-Orientales
department and the Dorenell wind project was
developed in Scotland to supply 130,000households in
the future. In the United States, EDF Renewable Energy
commissioned the Spinning Spur3 wind farm in Texas,
with nearly 200MW capacity. In Texas alone, EDF reached
the 1GW installed capacity milestone in 2015. The Group
is now focusing its expansion on offshore wind farms –it
has won tenders to build three farms off the coast of
France– and on marine energy, with the first conclusive
tests carried out off the Brittany coast.

France has Europe’s second-largest tidal
power potential after the UK. EDF is looking to
the coast and to tidal currents and contributing
to the growth of the sector, notably with its
Paimpol-Bréhat tidal farm project. Following a
lengthy series of tests, a first tidal turbine was
successfully installed in early 2016 off the coast
of Ploubazlanec, in northern Brittany. A second
turbine will soon join it. Together they will offer
1MW installed capacity. Once connected
to the grid they will supply electricity
to 1,000 households.

SUNRUN
Like the sound of getting photovoltaic panels on your
roof free of charge in only a few clicks? US company
Sunrun offers residential customers a service, in the
form of a turnkey contract, to fit solar panels on their roof, enabling them to
achieve substantial savings on their electricity bill. The electricity price structure
in the United States (net metering) and the high levels of sunlight in many states
mean that Sunrun can pre-finance installation. Sunrun offers its customers a deal
in which all kilowatt-hours produced by the free installation will bring them savings
on their bill proportional to the amount of electricity generated. Everything is taken
care of in a four-step telephone conversation with an expert; design of the solution
and its remote installation; automated completion of all administrative procedures;
installation of the system by a Sunrun partner.
That’s all there is to it! Over 100,000US households have adopted the Sunrun
solution and achieved an average 20% saving on their electricity bill.
SUNFIRE
Did you say “reversible electrolysis”? Sunfire
provides a way to store and reuse surplus electricity
generated from intermittent renewables. How does
it do this? Sunfire develops fuel cells that supply energy and heat hundreds of
homes, offices and regions that are not connected to a grid. And in a reverse
process, electrolysis units convert electricity from renewable sources into
hydrogen, gas or fuel.

Accepting that the optimum technical solution is not always the one chosen, EDF is undergoing an
energy, digital and collaborative revolution that also involves its organisational structure and culture.
In conducting its projects, the Group is increasingly taking on the role of a partner, and focussing on
cooperation and listening. Three 100% consultation-based projects are cases in point.

In Dunkirk, on the coast of northern France, EDF
recently completed the construction of a
liquefied natural gas terminal. To ensure
successful execution of this major project,
EDF’s teams worked very closely with local
stakeholders, particularly on boosting local
employment and protecting biodiversity. To
offset its use of 20 hectares of coastal land, EDF
worked closely with scientists, environmental
groups and the environmental services of the
Nord-Pas-de-Calais department to create resting
areas for birds migrating from the North. A total
of €11.5 million were dedicated to social and
environmental support measures.

In Poutès, central France, EDF innovated by
introducing state-of-the-art technologies and
stakeholder consultation to completely
restructure the dam on the Allier River. The new
structure accommodates migrating Atlantic
salmon that spawn in the upper reaches of the
river and at the same time ensures generation
of electricity. This win-win result was achieved
through successful consultations with local
officials and environmental groups.

In Paimpol-Bréhat, on the coast of Brittany,
the tidal energy project currently underway
has involved fishermen and environmental
protection groups at every stage. The tidal
turbine was hollowed out and its speed
adjusted to facilitate the passage of marine
mammals. The cable connecting the turbine to
the grid was moved to avoid a threatened bed
of algae, and the La Horaine plateau, where
fishing trawlers do not operate, was selected as
the site for the two tidal turbines.

EDF includes state-of-the-art
digital technology in all levels
of R&D, engineering and
operation. The new
technologies boost operating
efficiency, optimise industrial
safety and reduce costs.
VIRTUAL
REACTOR
INSPECTION
EDF has developed a virtual inspection system for its reactor buildings to
prepare work on its nuclear power plants as part of the Grand Carénage
overhaul programme. Using 3D scans of its premises in conjunction with
panoramic photographs, engineers are able to assess the best solutions for
installing new equipment and identifying the constraints that apply to the
work before it starts.
E-MONITORING
OF WIND AND
SOLAR FARMS
EDF Energies Nouvelles’ operation control centres (OCCs) are the company’s
central control hubs. The company has two OCCs: one in San Diego, California,
covering North America, and the other in the southern French city of Colombiers,
covering Europe. Between them, the two centres provide 24/7 monitoring of
7,100wind farms and 50 solar farms to improve their efficiency, respond
remotely to any issues, or to dispatch work teams to the facility if needed.
VIRTUALISATION
AND 3D THERMAL
SIMULATION
OF DATA CENTRES
Data centres consume very large amounts of energy. In France alone, they
account for 9% of total national electricity consumption. EDF has set itself the
goal of reducing the annual consumption of its two mega-data centres by
39GWh between 2011 and 2018. To do this the Group is using two innovative
methods: virtualisation, to pool capacity, and air flow management through
3D thermal simulation.
The DESCs –which stands for Dalkia Energy Savings Centers– remotely
manage the energy consumption of more than 7,000heating systems in
France. Eventually 25,000 sites will be connected. There are now seven
DESCs, of which the most recent was opened in Toulouse in 2015. The DESCs
improve the energy performance of building and industrial site heating and
air-conditioning systems in close collaboration with operations technicians.

EDF is heavily involved in training and recruiting students on work-study programmes.
In France, over 5% of the workforce is on a work-study basis, adding up to over
5,600contracts ranging from vocational certificates to postgraduate courses. Half of
the people concerned were hired at the end of their contract in 2014 and 2,900new
recruits are planned for 2016.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDF!
IN 2016, EDF CELEBRATES ITS 70TH YEAR.
Seventy years serving its customers
and ensuring France’s energy independence.
Since it was founded in 1946, EDF’s raison d’être
has been supporting progress in the world byproviding
uninterrupted energy wherever it is useful.
The EDF Group is one of Europe’s leading electricity companies.
It enjoys a strong industrial and commercial legacy,
the skills to operate that legacy, and an excellent reputation.
The environment is now changing and the lines
are being redrawn.
Day after day, EDF is reinventing itself. Its strategic,
technological, commercial, digital and behavioural
transformation is under way.
It’s a 360degree change.

TEARING DOWN
THE BARRIERS.
In Paris’ LaDéfense business district,
AREVA and EDF teams did not wait
for the joining of the two companies
to start working together on a third
generation nuclear reactor within the
EPR family. Carrying out the project
jointly makes it possible to get the
best out of the two engineering
departments and build synergies
between the two companies. The
teams work in shared premises and
build on the integrated, collaborative
and industrial Product Lifecycle
Management information system that
can be accessed by all partners
throughout the 100-year life span of
the power plant.

PUTTING
IDEAS INTO
PRACTICE FAST.
In early 2016, EDF opened its in-house
incubator in a former chocolate factory
in Levallois-Perret, near Paris. The facility, open to all employees and business
functions, is a “design thinking space”.
The purpose of the Chocolaterie centre
is to accelerate the innovation process
so as to rapidly put ideas into practice
and achieve success fast.
CROSSING
THE CHANNEL.
100 DAYS
TO DECIDE.
Cooperation between British and French
teams is proceeding full steam ahead.
Engineers are heading on assignments
across the Channel, in both directions.
The idea is for the two nuclear fleets to
benefit from each other’s strengths and
make progress in operational excellence.
In 2015, exchanges were organised, for
example, between scheduled nuclear
maintenance specialists and between
specialists in industrial safety.
Initiated by EDF Energy in the UK, Blue
Lab is a newly-established collaborative
innovation platform for customers. Its
purpose is to trial and bring to market
new products and services which meet
customers’ ever-increasing expectations
– now and in the future. Collaborating
with R&D, operational teams and
externally with strategic partners, the
Blue Lab team gives itself 100 days to
decide whether or not to press ahead
with a project and take it to market.
How does it do this? By exploring new
partnerships and different commercial
models, and by developing new
products and services, especially those
based on smart-meter data.

INSPECTION.
EDF uses drones
toexamine its dams
aspart of the 10-year
inspection process. These
underwater or overhead
inspections look for
potential defects in the
dam from crest to base.
245
THERMAL AUDIT IN
DISTRICT HEATING SYSTEMS.
To detect leaks and corrosion in district heating
systems, Dalkia carries out airborne thermographic
testing by drone. A first experiment was successfully
conducted in 2015 on the Mazamet system, in France’s
Tarn department.

OPTIMISED
INSPECTION
OF OVERHEAD
POWER LINES.
Overhead lines stretch for hundreds
of kilometres and are sometimes
difficult to access. The Group’s
independent subsidiary in charge of
managing distribution therefore uses
drones equipped with GPS positioning

energy potential as a result of both its natural
conditions and the goals of the Chilean
government, which has announced its
Colour in the energy sources
intention to produce 20% of the country’s

“TEAM
FRANCE”
RETURNS TO THE
INTERNATIONAL
NUCLEAR
SCENE
With EDF, AREVA and the CEA,
France forms an outstanding team with
the ability to win nuclear new build projects
in the international market. From fuel to
decommissioning, the new nuclear sector
is present across the entire value chain.
A case in point: all French nuclear players
are joining forces to bid on the South
African tender for six reactors.

EDF Trading is EDF’s “armed wing” in the wholesale market.
It optimises the assets of the EDF Group and third-party customers
throughout the entire energy value chain comprising electricity,
natural gas, LNG, LPG, coal, freight and environmental products.
Its portfolio asset management enables it to source, procure, store
and process physical raw materials in the wholesale energy
market. It operates from two large bases in London and Houston.
The Texan base supplies electricity, natural gas and environmental products and services to
hundreds of large energy-intensive customers throughout North America. EDF Trading
also operates in Asia and is participating in the globalisation of energy markets.

EDF FORGES TIES IN CHINA
At Hinkley Point C in the UK and Taishan in China, EDF
and China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN)
form a strong partnership. In 2015, they further strengthened their ties by signing an agreement to share feedback
on the operation and engineering of existing nuclear
facilities. EDF also signed an agreement with the Huadan
electricity company and continued its research and development work with the Chinese Adacemy of Sciences
involving solar concentration at Badaling.
NORTH AMERICA, A STRONGHOLD
FOR EDF ENERGIES NOUVELLES
The North American electricity market is turning to local,
cleaner sources of energy. At the end of 2015, EDF
Renewable Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of EDF
Energies Nouvelles, had over 3,000MW net installed
onshore wind capacity in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. This accounts for more than 56% of its global net
installed capacity.

IN ITALY, EDISON BOOSTS
ITS HYDRO OPERATIONS
In 2015, Edison boosted its hydroelectric operations, a
key focus of the company’s growth strategy. Edison
began construction of a new 4.5MW power plant at
Pizzighettone on the Adda River, acquired an existing
3MW plant on the same river and took over 23small
and medium-sized hydro plants on the Cellina River,
raising its total installed capacity to 90MW. The
company also increased the average life span of its
hydroelectric portfolio and reduced its exposure to risks
relating to the renewal of concessions.

The population of Africa is more than twice that of North America
but its installed generation capacity is equivalent to that of a country
like Denmark. The continent’s requirements are huge, and so is its
potential for generating electricity: hydro, solar, wind and more. The
Group has set three priorities to support development in the western
and central parts of the continent: set up locations in the region,
continue to develop infrastructure projects, and support leading
industrial companies.

In that time it has given
500,000people access to
energy while maintaining
the economic balance

In Senegal for example,
EDF installs and operates
photovoltaic kits and
solar plants and connects
customers to the grid.
FAR MORE
THAN
ENERGY
In 2015, Electranova Capital invested in the Californiabased startup Off Grid Electric, world leader in solar
leasing in Africa. The company is expanding rapidly
in East Africa, equipping more than 10,000households
per month, particularly in Tanzania and Rwanda.
The access-to-energy kit contains a lithium-ion battery,
small PV panels, LED lamps, a radio, an optional television
set and a telephone charger.
It also includes services such as payment by mobile
phone, which is widely used in Africa. The kit is ideal
for people living in off-grid rural areas or disconnected
due to arrears. The Off Grid Electric solution provides
very high quality, reliable lighting that is affordable
compared to traditional oil lighting, which also causes
pollution. The goal is to continue electrification
in Tanzania, with a target of 1million households
by 2017, to include new electric devices in the kit
and to expand the service to other countries.
EDF will bring its experience in West Africa to the
development of Off Grid Electric solutions in countries
including Cameroon, Côted’Ivoire, South Africa
and Senegal. An agreement has already been
signed with the Group’s International Division and
Off Grid Electric to examine opportunities and plan
synergies and possible follow-up.
