+6.0 |
Sales in France - Generation and
supply activities amounted to €18.9bn, up 6.0% in organic terms
compared to the first nine months of 2017.
Nuclear output reached 290TWh, up
6.6TWh compared to the first nine months of 2017. This improvement
can be explained by the fact that 2017 was heavily penalised, in
particular by several reactor outages linked to the manufacturing
records of the Creusot plant and by the "carbon segregation"
issue.
Hydropower output[12] stood at
38TWh, up 32.9% (+9.4TWh) compared to the first nine months of
2017.
The higher nuclear and hydropower
output contributed to EBITDA but was only partially reflected in
sales.
The net selling position (in
euros) on the wholesale markets at the end of September 2018 was
recorded in sales, as opposed to the end of September 2017, when
there was a net buying position (in euros). The ARENH volumes sold
and the balance of purchases and sales on the wholesale market had
a positive impact on sales, estimated at €99 million compared to
the first nine months of 2017.
The favourable weather affected
sales by an estimated +€49 million (+1.0TWh) compared to the first
nine months of 2017.
The changes in regulated sales
tariffs[13] , for the
part excluding the delivery component, had a positive impact of
around €67 million.
The downstream market conditions
had a positive effect on sales for an estimated €117 million to the
extent that the negative effect of the erosion in electricity sales
to end customers was more than offset by the positive electricity
price effects and by increased gas sales.
Resales of purchase obligations
were up due to the increase in electricity generation from
renewable sources and to better price conditions, with a positive
impact on sales estimated at €438 million (neutral effect on EBITDA
with the CSPE mechanism which offset expenses linked to purchase
obligations).
In addition, other favourable
factors boosted sales by an estimated €301 million.

Sales in France - Regulated

Sales benefited from a favourable
weather effect of around €36 million and from a positive change in
the distribution tariffs[16] for an
estimated €225 million.
In addition, growth of the grid
connection services activity contributed €54 million.

Sales in EDF Renouvelables
amounted to €1.1bn, up 13.1% in organic terms compared to the first
nine months of 2017.
This change was mainly due to the
commissioning in 2017 of both wind and solar power projects, which
contributed to a 27% increase in output (11.3TWh).
Sales also benefited from the
increase in distributed solar activities, notably in the United
States, for an amount of +€34 million.
Gross installed capacities during
the nine first months totalled 902MW, mainly in recent geographical
areas (Chile, Brazil, Dubai), the majority of which is solar.
Total installed net capacity
increased by 3.1% compared to the end of December 2017 to
8.1GW.
Finally, the gross portfolio of
projects under construction reached 2.2GW (of which 1.4GW in solar
power) at the end of the third quarter 2018.

Sales of the entire Group
Renewables[18]
contributed €3.3 billion to Group sales over the first nine months
of 2018. They were driven by good hydro conditions in France and in
Italy and, for wind and solar energy, by the effect of the
commissioning and the acquisitions realised in 2017.

Dalkia's sales amounted to €2.8
billion, up organically by 7.3% compared to the first nine months
of 2017, due mainly to the positive trend in service contract
review indexes, the positive effect of increasing fuel prices and
the signing or the renewing of numerous contracts, such as the
creation of a heating network in Montbéliard (France).

Framatome's sales amounted to €2.3

was realised within the Group.
Activity in the Fuel business was
sustained, whereas there was a slowdown in the Installed Base
business, particularly in the United States.
There was a gradual recovery in
the Components business, following the authorisation granted by the
ASN in January 2018 to resume the manufacture of forged parts on
the Creusot site.
In China, Framatome and the
Chinese National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) delivered the first
batch of fuel cladding tubes for the "Hualong-1" reactor of the
Fuqing nuclear power plant.
In the United States, Framatome
signed a contract with Talen Energy to provide its new ATRIUM 11
fuel to the Susquehanna nuclear power plant.

In the United Kingdom, sales
amounted to €6.5bn, up 4.9% in organic terms compared to the first
nine months of 2017.
Sales benefited from higher
electricity tariffs and prices on the residential and business
market, higher electricity volumes sold to business customers and
higher gas volumes sold due to cold weather in the first quarter of
2018. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in volumes
sold to residential electricity customers.
Nuclear output amounted to
45.9TWh, down 2.8TWh, compared to the first nine months of 2017,
mainly because of the Hunterston B outage.

The volumes of gas sold to
residential customers increased in line with favourable weather
conditions.
Sales were up in Electricity
activities, supported by higher sales volumes to residential
customers and growth in hydropower generation.
Sales in exploration-production
activities were up thanks to the favourable change in Brent prices
and gas prices, and to the increase in volumes.

In Belgium, generation was
affected by the extended outages of the Engie Group's nuclear
reactors. Wind power capacities reached 399MW, up 6.1% compared to
the end of December 2017. Sales amounted to €1.3 billion, up 1.2%
in organic terms. This change is related to an increase in prices
and a decrease in volumes due to a strongly competitive
environment.
Sales in Brazil remained stable
compared to the first nine months of 2017, reaching €283

EDF Trading's sales amounted to
€832 million, up strongly by 107.2% in organic terms. This change
was driven by strong performance overall, thanks to favourable
volatility in commodities markets, favourable weather effects and
to occasional tensions in the supply-demand balance in Europe and
in the United States. Activities related to LNG (Liquefied Natural
Gas) also contributed to this performance, which was driven by
rising Asian demand and an upward price environment for oil.
