For the past 10 years, we have been enjoying rapid and profitable growth.

This performance has been predicated on our original strategic choices, which have paid off steadily.

Firstly, we opted to focus on all renewable energies, with a special emphasis on wind energy, and

to join forces with an industry-leading energy group a decade ago. Secondly, we decided to embark

on a diversified international expansion drive from the very outset, with an early move into the

North American market. Thirdly, we chose to pursue profitable growth through a selective approach.

For many years now, our firmly held beliefs have been guiding us on our way. We believe in

renewable energies, their ability to become competitive and their tremendous growth potential.

Their share of the power generation market is bound to increase because they help to meet

several energy challenges, such as the availability of reserves, safety, environmental protection and,

ultimately, pricing.

Renewable energies have been spurred on by the fact that demand for energy is set to double

by 2050, while the supply of conventional energy is nearing its limits. They are supported by the

fact that it is vital for governments to consider their energy independence and curb environmental

impacts. Lastly, with energy prices forecast to increase and renewable energies maturing more

rapidly, they are likely to achieve grid parity, albeit at different rates. Wind energy is already

close to this point. With the other technologies, cost reductions and innovation have raised

the prospect that they will become competitive in the near future.

We believe in RENEWAbLE ENERgIES and their ability to become COMpETITIVE in the future.

While renewables do not represent the only possible solution, they have established themselves

as energies of the future. The wind and solar energy industries have created new growth prospects

on a global scale and vast export markets.

The leading energy groups and oil majors have very clearly grasped this point. The renewables

market is in the process of gaining a whole new dimension, with major players holding sway.

This explains why we joined forces with the EDF group and are now forging even closer ties as

we embark on a new phase in our industrial development.

pâris MouratoglouChairman of the Board of Directors

54 For the past decade, EDF Energies Nouvelles has been affiliated with EDF and thus enjoyed the backing of a powerful group. Over this period, our exceptional pace of growth has been driven by the momentum of the Group and its market. However, our performance has been built on a business combination that brought together the best of both worlds.

The strength of a major group and the dynamism of a SME* In our expansion into new markets and segments, we capitalised to the full on our momentum as an initially independent company set up by an entrepreneur. The Group, which has stayed flexible and nimble so that it can adapt to markets in various different countries, achieved very rapid expansion in international markets. It grew to become a leading player by working with partners and building teams that are now the envy of the global industry.Given the substantial capital requirements, its membership of a major energy group represented a major boost. The Group provided its credibility, expertise, R&D capabilities and financial strength, giving its subsidiary the means to take off. And it provided financial backing for all the major stages in its development in wind, then solar energy, through a series of capital increases.

Continued emphasis on entrepreneurial vision to rise to new challengesA new era is beginning for renewable energies. The capital and industrial challenges are increasingly too big for medium-sized companies to overcome. The EDF group wants to provide more direct support to its subsidiary as it pursues an ambitious industrial plan. Together, we will make sure that we keep its entrepreneurial approach intact, as this emphasis on profitable organic growth has formed the bedrock of our value and our success. We provide a stimulating environment for our teams and our talented, committed and fully devoted partners.

“The relatively resilient performance of the sector during the current economic downturn shows that clean energy was not a bubble created by the late stages of the credit boom, but is instead an investment theme that will remain important for the years ahead.A significant milestone was reached in early 2010: more than 100 countries had enacted some type of policy target and/or promotion policy related to renewable energy, up from 55 countries in early 2005. Many new targets enacted in the past three years call for shares of energy or electricity from renewables in the 15–25 percent range by 2020.”

”With effective policies in place, PV on residential and commercial buildings will achieve grid parity – i.e. with electricity grid retail prices – by 2020 in many regions. PV will become competitive at utility-scale in the sunniest regions by 2030 and provide 5% of global electricity. As PV matures into a mainstream technology, grid integration and management and energy storage become key issues. The PV industry, grid operators and utilities will need to develop new technologies and strategies to integrate large amounts of PV into flexible, efficient and smart grids. By 2050, PV could provide more than 11% of global electricity.”

Cartographers identify the potential loca-tions for a facility taking into account all the known constraints. Engineers conduct wind and insolation surveys to establish the project’s feasibility and determine the size of the future power plant. The developers coordinate all the construction phases, conduct impact studies and ensure through consultation that the projects fit harmo-niously into the landscape. Working along-side local officials, they make the case for the project to the local authorities and over-see applications for the relevant permits.

Construction

EDF Energies Nouvelles coordinates its various suppliers and subcontractors, buys equipment, supervises construction work and works closely with its various indus-trial partners. To maximise the efficiency of its supply chain, the Group makes its purchases from a diversified base of manu-facturers and places its equipment orders under multi-year contracts.

Operations & maintenance Ensuring the quality and sustainability of its generating facilities is a strategic task for EDF Energies Nouvelles. Thanks to its ope-rations & maintenance services, the Group maximises the output from its power plants and their service life. It benefits from the experience gained over 25 years by its US subsidiary, the leading service provider in North America, and more recently set up operations in Europe to handle this aspect of the business in an integrated manner. Expertise and strengths that EDF EN har-nesses for the benefit of its customers by providing a range of operations & mainte-nance services.

Generation

EDF Energies Nouvelles’ core business consists in developing its portfolio of power plants and managing its assets. Its power plants, which are connected to the local grids, add a green touch to local utilities’ energy mix. Some of the power plants it builds are sold to third-party investors (DSSA* business), which may ask EDF Energies Nouvelles to manage their facilities. In this case, the Group handles the generation and operations & maintenance activities.

EDF Energies Nouvelles is active from development through to operations & maintenance for its own facilities, as well as providing customised services to third parties.

From the very outset, EDF Energies Nouvelles focused on expanding outside France as market conditions were not very favourable in its domestic market at the time. From a base in several European countries and the United States, the Group gradually broadened its sights to the whole of Europe and North America.

To prepare for the future, EDF Energies Nouvelles is establishing a presence in several promising

new segments. The Group invests in a diverse range of technologies on a small scale, either alone

or through partnerships, in order to track developments or bolster its expertise. The top priority is

to gain access to the technologies of the future on preferential terms.

The areas prospected include emerging technologies, such as offshore wind, marine energies,

biogas, biomass, biofuels and concentrated solar power. Each segment brings with it numerous

technological options. By establishing selective positions, we can detect where and when disruptive

technologies will emerge, turning a segment into a source of growth.

“Over the long term, I am perfectly confident in the unparalleled potential for renewable energies. They provide solutions to critical global issues, i.e. energy supplies, environmental protection, drive to create growth and jobs. With each passing day, renewable energies are becoming more and more established, especially since the surge in energy prices has rapidly made them closer to being competitive.”

2010 was another year of growth and profitability. What were the key factors?

Our development was led by our two principal seg-ments. In the wind segment, growth in capacity was driven largely by Europe. In the solar segment, we saw real acceleration in the pace at which pro-jects were commissioned in five different countries. However, the highlight of 2010 was the record level of construction starts on both sides of the Atlantic. Construction of over 1,000 MW in new capacity was launched in our two priority segments, laying the foundations for very healthy performance in 2011 and 2012. From a financial perspective, we conti-nued to achieve profitable growth, with EBITDA up 36%, again ahead of our guidance, plus an increase in net income.

Won’t the changes in the regulatory environment affect your performance?

The diversification in our positions across several countries and segments has helped and will conti-nue to help us contend with unexpected economic and political developments. By covering the cost of the lion’s share of our development costs, our

DSSA business plays a part in our first-class earnings. What’s more, we benefit from the EDF group’s financial strength. These represent three genuine strengths providing flexibility and resilience.

How far have you progressed towards your year-end 2012 objectives?

At present, we have 3,335 MW in net capacity in service or under construction. Performance during 2010 confirmed that we are right on track to meet our target of 4,200 MW in net installed capacity by year-end 2012. This objective is now in sight. We are heading down the final stretch and starting to prepare for the post-2012 period, with our excite-ment and dynamism still intact.

STRONG GROWTHin production capacity

The capacity of the Group’s power plants in

service has risen thirty-fold since 2000. It has

commissioned more than one hundred wind

farms (2,923 MW gross) and the same number

of solar facilities (267 MWp gross) around the

world. This increase in its production capacity

has translated into earnings growth on a similar

scale. The steep rise in our bottom line reflects

the profitability of this growth.

A CONSTANTLY GROWING source of jobs

For the past ten years, the Group has enjoyed a

consistently brisk pace of expansion. This vigo-

rous growth has made EDF Energies Nouvelles

one of the leaders in its sector and fostered the

creation of jobs.

The Group’s headcount has gone up from

85 to over 3,000, not to mention the numerous

indirect jobs it has created at equipment manu-

facturers and local subcontractors.

In a world of growing demand for energy, EDF Energies Nouvelles is actively contributing to the development of new generating capacity. Its profitable growth is helping to create positive momentum for jobs in its sector of activity.

vESTASA natural business relationship For more than 10 years, our two companies have been strengthening each other’s positions and directly supporting the worldwide development of the wind energy industry. Our partnership provides a unique capability for defining common objectives and focusing on long-term planning. Ours is a natural business relationship. As one of the largest global wind technology and service providers, Vestas has an extensive experience in siting, installation and maintenance of wind power plants in all the markets where EDF Energies Nouvelles is present. This has given us the opportunity to continuously share and benefit from best practices. Further, this has also allowed us to enhance our services, thus reducing EDF Energies Nouvelles’ turbine downtime, lost production and installation lead times. And this is just the beginning. EDF Energies Nouvelles and Vestas have an ambitious plan to further develop their relationship in the area of wind power plants.”

Thomas Kirk Jepsen, COO Vestas Mediterranean.

The Danish company vestas is a global player and market leader in wind energy, operating in more than 70 countries worldwide. Every three hours vestas installs a new wind turbine.

“REPOWERConquering the Canadian market together EDF Energies Nouvelles’ huge experience of the market and operational conditions gives us an important advantage in delivering performance and reliability, in using the most advanced technology. Our relationship is very open and trusting. We started working together on common projects in France and the U.K, and then in the U.S. The next big step was the joint tendering for a big tender offer in Quebec, which was very successful. This 954 MW project, which is the biggest onshore contract in REpower’s history, was our entry into the Canadian market, and also the best example of our mutual success. EDF Energies Nouvelles provided the development capability, and of course the French rela-tionship to Quebec, and REpower handled the technolo-gical part. We had a lot of interfaces and loops between our teams.”

Matthias Schubert, Member of the Executive Board, REpower Systems AG.

With its worldwide presence, REpower is one of the leading system providers of wind turbines in the onshore and offshore sector.

WAL-MART A good wind to win EDF Energies Nouvelles greatly contributes to Wal-Mart’s strategy of becoming the reference for a sus-tainable company within Mexico. Our partnership gives us the advantage of a team that has enough expertise in energy projects to achieve our goal of being 100% supplied by renewable energy sources by 2025. Since the beginning both companies had in mind that, we needed to create a win-win relationship whatever the outcome would be. Operational since 2010, the La Ventosa Oaxaca wind farm is the best example of our fruitful collaboration. In Oaxaca, where the wind condi-tions are particularly good, we have already proved that it’s possible to produce renewable energy at a very competitive cost, without subsidies. And the eco-nomic benefits will increase as time passes and as the price of the fossil fuels rises. Based on this successful experience, we now look forward to exploring new and innovative projects with EDF Energies Nouvelles.”

Juan Andrés Ruiz Figueroa, Energy Administration Assistant Director, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Mexico.

Wal-Mart is the biggest retail company in the world. Since May 2010, 348 of its self-service stores, price clubs, and restaurants in Mexico are using wind-powered energy from the La ventosa wind farm.

POLAT A winning combination for developmentThe partnership in Turkey between Polat Group and EDF Energies Nouvelles has led to a very strong co-operation in technical and financial terms, with built-in advantages for completing large investments in a short time with optimum results. In the past two years, Polat Enerji’s installed capacity has been multiplied by 4. Clearly, our goals are to be a leader in the develop- ment of wind power in Turkey, and also to begin solar energy projects. Together, Polat Group and EDF Energies Nouvelles provide the technical and financial assets as well as the institutional infrastructure required for this chal-lenge. Our relationship is a winning combination, one that gathers the vision of a large international energy operator and the very specific knowledge of a major local player.”

NANOSOLARFrom the laboratory to on-the-ground operationAs a young, start-up manufacturer, the solidity and reputation of EDF Energies Nouvelles has given Nanosolar the credibility to raise money, to purchase factory equipment for capacity expansion, and to obtain new customers. EDF Energies Nouvelles has continuously supported Nanosolar’s efforts to improve the performance and quality of the Nanosolar Utility Panel. Our goal is for it to ultimately become one of the lowest cost solar panels. In 2011, EDF Energies Nouvelles is building a 3 MW test installation in Gabardan (France) with Nanosolar Utility Panels and another 3 MW installation in Salem, Oregon (USA). The results of these test installations will enable us to obtain bank financing in 2012 for larger, utility-scale installations. We hope that this important collaborative partnership will permit us to raise the level of production of our panels to an industrial stage in the coming years. We also expect to enable EDF Energies Nouvelles to build solar PV plants that are truly competitive with fossil fuel-generated power on a Levelized Electricity Cost (LCE) basis within the next several years.“

NExCIShow to win micronsIt represents a major bonus to work alongside entre-preneurial partners who encourage you to be auda-cious and take risks while providing support to ensure that these risks remain under control. Partnering with EDF Energies Nouvelles brings tremendous benefits. Its industrial vision, its technical capabilities and its knowledge of the market have been crucial. Its ability to push back the frontiers challenges you to go further. We knew when we launched Nexcis that we needed to target competitive rates by 2013 without counting on subsidies. EDF Energies Nouvelles’ experience has enabled us to develop a product geared to the needs of the French domestic market, and EDF’s R&D network, originally behind this technology, gave us access to its powerful testing resources. At present, our 2-micron thin film electrodeposition process for a CIGS (copper, indium, gallium and selenium) alloy rather than 150 microns for crystalline silicon modules delivers effec-tive conversion performance combined with very low manufacturing costs. We are currently one of very few companies around the world able to do this.“

EDF R&D2,000 R&D staff to find new solutions rapidly The development of renewable energies requires a very large-scale effort in terms of innovation. The goal is to improve the technical aspects to cut costs and integrate more effectively what are generally intermittent energy sources with electricity grids. The ties between EDF Energies Nouvelles, an agile and innovative enterprise that has very extensive knowledge of its markets, and EDF’s Research and Development teams, help to accelerate progress and harness new industrial opportunities. Our close cooperation, which dates back to the Company’s early days, is set to increase in certain key areas: thin film solutions to deliver disruptive technologies in solar photovoltaic, offshore wind and the extensive field of marine energies. The next step will be to integrate all these renewable energies in smart grids, which will require new storage solutions. The comple-mentary relationship between research and operations represents a key asset for the Group’s competitiveness in the major European and worldwide markets. The future for renewable energies has never been as bright as it is now!”

Bernard Salha, EDF’s Director of Research and Development

With 2,000 R&D staff, EDF R&D covers all of the group’s activities from the production of nuclear, thermal, hydro and renewable energy through to distribution and marketing.

DCNSA new wave of energies DCNS was looking to capitalise on the marine expertise it has acquired over four centuries through the recovery of energy from the sea. When we found out that EDF Energies Nouvelles held the right from Carnegie to use a technology suitable for harnessing wave energy, we offered to handle system engineering and oversee implementation of its projects. Our first joint project was a prototype on Reunion Island, which will be implemented at full scale this year. Altogether, the system is 30 metres high. Under the surface, a tank is linked by a connector to a pump fitted on the seabed, which pushes a fluid through to an onshore turbine. This is a pragmatic approach that is both technically and economically efficient. The aim is to demonstrate the reliability of the installation and assess the cost per kWh generated when the wave farm comprising several units is built. The system, the rights to which were acquired by EDF Energies Nouvelles, has the benefit of being adjustable to the power of the waves, potentially making it possible to find an optimum economic balance, particularly on Reunion Island where power generation costs remain higher than in mainland France.”

Frédéric Le Lidec, Director of the DCNS incubator

DCNS is a world leader in the naval defense sector and an innovative player in the energy sector, from civil nuclear power to renewable marine energies.
