1 March 218

2 Monthly Electrical Energy Overview March 218 March was marked by a sharp fall in average temperatures (-3.1 C compared to last year), which led to an increase in electricity demand. Electricity production continued to increase in all sectors, with the exception of conventional thermal production. Gross power demand increased by 11.6% compared to March 217. Corrected for climate factors, demand decreased. Monthly generation reached 52 TWh i.e. an increase of 4.8% compared to March 217. The increase in hydraulic generation slowed. Wind power generation exceeded 3 TWh. Solar generation remained higher with an increase of 5.6% compared to March 217. The development of renewable energies intensified with 624 new renewable energy parks in France since March 217. French prices remained stable compared to the previous month, at 48.26/MWh on average in March. The overall monthly balance remained in favour of exports this month. The instantaneous balance switched in favour of imports on ten occasions and reached 4,572 MW on 22 March. 16 facilities went into service in March: 4 substations, 8 overhead lines, 1 overhead/underground line, 1 underground line, 1 transformer, 1 compensator.

3 Monthly Electrical Energy Overview March 218 DEMAND Gross demand reached TWh, up 11.6% compared to March 217, due to an average monthly temperature that was lower by 3.1 C. Corrected for climate factors, overall demand was down (-.4%). Demand by large industry continued its upward trend (+3.4%). GENERATION For the third consecutive time this year, the hydraulic sector increased. It increased by 11.7% to reach 6.99 TWh. Renewable generation (excluding hydraulic) was also up by 12% compared with March 217. Nuclear production was up by 4.1%. Therefore fossil-fuel thermal generation was down despite an increase in heating needs. WIND AND SOLAR Wind generation was up by 17.5% compared with March and reached 3.12 TWh. The coverage rate of demand by wind generation reached 17.3%. As for solar generation, it reached.74 TWh, i.e. an increase of 5.6% compared to March 217. TERRITORIES AND REGIONS To meet the targets of the energy transition law, 624 new renewable energy parks (313 photovoltaic parks, 153 wind farms, 8 dams, 78 bioenergy centres) have been installed in various French regions since March 217. Three regions: Hauts-De-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Grand-Est have created more than 5% of the new facilities overall, i.e. 1.3 GW. ELECTRICITY MARKETS The cold snap at the end of February continued during the first days of March, with a daily average French price of 84/MWh on Thursday 1 and Friday 2. Conversely, abundant wind turbine generation led to very low prices in some countries on non-working days: the German price became negative for 21 hours on the weekend of 17 and 18, and the Spanish price was less than 8/MWh as a daily average on Sunday 11 and on Friday 3, a public holiday in Spain (the wind sector covered nearly half of demand on these two days). INTERNATIONAL TRADE The export balance totalled 3.1 TWh. The import balance of trade with the CWE area was up and reached.84 TWh. The export balance of trade to Italy, Switzerland, and Great Britain was lower compared to March 217. The balance of trade was in favour of imports with Spain and totalled.73 TWh. NEW INSTALLATIONS 16 new facilities went into service in March. They were part of three projects for strengthening the security of electricity supply, two projects of the 2Loires programme, a customer connection and two infrastructure renewal projects.

France is always represented in white, the other areas are coloured based on the difference in price compared with France (blue: lower price, red: higher price, the deeper the colour, the greater the difference). Glossary Spot price: Wholesale price of electricity, determined by the power exchanges the day before fordelivery thefollowing day,foreach houroftheday. Spread : Price differential between two price areas (here between each price area and France). Price area: Geographic area inside which the electricity price is identical and where exchanges are done with no allocation of capacity. A price area may combine several countries (for example: Germany, Austria, Luxembourg) and a country may be subdivided into more than one price area (for example: Italy, Norway).
