1 Monthly Electrical Energy Overview February 218 February 218

2 Monthly Electrical Energy Overview February 218 February 218 was characterised by extremely low temperatures, 3.5 C below normal, and consequently higher demand compared to February 217. Peak demand reached 96.6 GW during the intense cold spell at the end of February. Production increased compared to February 217 for all electricity sources. Gross demand increased by 13.4% compared to February 217. Corrected for climate factors, demand was slightly lower (-.2%). Demand by industrial sites connected to the public transmission network record increased by 1.4%. Production was on the rise for all electricity sources compared to February 217, particularly for hydraulic generation, which was up by 56.3%. Wind generation increased by 9% and solar generation by 16.6%. Cold temperatures in February hit the whole of the country and their impact on demand trends appears in all regions. Market prices rose again in February. For France, trade was globally in favour of exports over all its borders except with the CWE area. Three facilities went into service in February 218.

3 Monthly Electrical Energy Overview February 218 DEMAND Gross demand reached 49.8 TWh, up 13.4% compared with February 217, due to a monthly average temperature down by 4.8 C. Corrected for climatic factors, total demand fell slightly (-.2%). The increase in demand by large industry has continued to slow down since January (+1.4%). GENERATION Production increased for all electricity sources compared to February 217. Fossil fuel generation was up by 1.1% and nuclear generation by 8.1%. Hydraulic generation was up compared to February 217 in many European countries such as Germany (1.96 TWh, + 44%), Spain (2.6 TWh, + 18%) or Italy (2.5 TWh, + 17%) (data from the Transparency platform). In France, hydraulic generation increased by 56.3% compared with 217 to reach more than 7.1 TWh. WIND AND SOLAR Wind generation increased by 9% compared to February 217, reaching 2.77 TWh, due to an increase in installed capacity of 14.2%. Solar production increased by 16.6% reaching.5 TWh, with an increase in installed capacity of 13.6%. TERRITORIES AND REGIONS Cold temperatures during the month led to a sharp increase in demand in all regions. Daily regional demand was between 61 and 329, while it was between 56 and 275 in February 217. Regional demand on Wednesday, 28 February represents between 132% and 163% of the minimum daily regional demand. ELECTRICITY MARKETS Prices were fairly stable in France in the first three weeks of the month. They then rose sharply during the cold spell at the end of February, reaching as much as 159.4/MWh on Tuesday the 27th at 7: p.m., due to significant demand resulting in the use of more costly means of production. INTERNATIONAL TRADE The balance in favour of exports was 2.76 TWh for the whole of February. The balance was notably in favour of imports from 27 to 28 February, reaching a maximum import value of 1 GW on the 28th. The balance in favour of imports from the CWE zone increased and reached almost 2.67 TWh. The balance in favour of exports to Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Great Britain decreased compared to January, while remaining at a relatively high level. NEW INSTALLATIONS The aim of the 3 installations commissioned in February 218 is to electrically strengthen the Arbois region. Monthly Overview - February 218 3

7 Aperçu Monthly mensuel electrical sur l'énergie energy électrique overview Septembre February Distribution of regional generation Distribution of regional consumption Trend in daily regional demand during February 218 Cold temperatures in February hit the whole of the country and their impact on demand trends appears in all regions. For example, regional demand on Wednesday, 28 February represents, depending on the region, between 112% and 135% of the demand of the previous Wednesday and between 132% and 163% of the minimum daily regional demand. This regional demand is much higher than that of February 217, during which temperatures had been warmer. Daily regional demand was then between 56 and 275 and the maximum daily regional demand accounted for between 126 and 15% of the minimum daily regional demand. Monthly Overview - February

Energy sector is excluded Trend in sliding year : growth between the last 12 cumulative monthly values and the previous 12 Daily peak for perimeter France excl. Corsica For more information on how actual temperatures and reference temperatures are calculated, visit RTE's website: Generation The "Hydro-electric" category includes all types of hydro plants (impoundment, run-of-river, etc.). Consumption for pumping by pumped storage facilities is not deducted from generation. The "Nuclear" category includes all nuclear units. Consumption by auxiliary units is deducted from generation. The "Fossil-fuel thermal" category includes Coal, Oil and Gas-fired technologies. The "Other RES" category includes PV solar, Biomass, Biogas and paper/card waste. The installed capacity values are valid for the end of the month, with the exception of the "Other RES" category, which is valid for the start of the month.

Queued projects: Projects which have entered the connection queue under RTE's connection procedure, i.e. projects which have signed a "queuing proposal" with RTE, following a detailed connection study or a "technical and financial proposal". Projects in preparation: Connection projects for which RTE has been asked to provide a detailed study or technical and financial proposal, currently being examined by RTE, or for which the Prices in Europe Monthly average of spot prices in the different price zones of the coupled area. 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 for delivery the following day, for each hour of the day. 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).
