Sales were down -4.0% organically compared to the first nine months of 2019, but were almost stable when excluding the effects of the health crisis. Despite lower nuclear output in France and a negative price effect related to lower gas prices, sales benefited from better price conditions in the United Kingdom and France as well as better hydrological conditions. The health crisis has affected the Group's sales by an estimated -€2.0 billion (11) at the end of September 2020, mainly due to lower nuclear output, the drop in demand affecting electricity distribution and supply activities, as well as the slowdown or postponement of on-site works and service activities with customers.

- 0.4

Sales in France - Generation and supply activities in 2020 amounted to €19,996 million, down -0.4% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Nuclear output reached 241.1TWh, down 47.1TWh compared to the first nine months of 2019, mainly due to the impacts of the measures taken as part of the COVID crisis and the extended outages of Flamanville 1 and 2 and Paluel 2.

Hydraulic output (2) amounted to 34.1TWh, an increase of 24.0% (+6.6TWh) compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The health crisis affected sales by an estimated -€1.0 billion, mainly due to the decrease in output arising from the impact of the COVID crisis (-29TWh) on the schedule and completion of outages, and the decline in demand.

The drop in nuclear output, partially offset by the improvement in hydropower generation, led to a drop in sales of an estimated -€865 million excluding COVID impacts.

Sales benefited from favourable energy price effects for an estimated amount of +€1,152 million (3), mainly related to the increases in the regulated sales tariff (4) in June 2019, February 2020 (the latter including half of the tariff catch-up related to the first half of 2019) and August 2020. Lower prices on purchased volumes also boosted this trend.

Downstream market conditions (favourable price effects on the Energy Savings Certificates component and on capacity auctions in offers to end customers with limited impact on margins) had a positive effect on sales for an estimated €491 million, despite the erosion of sales to end customers in electricity.

  1. Breakdown of sales across the segments, before inter-segments eliminations.
  2. Hydropower, excluding island activities before deduction of pumped volumes. For information, after deduction of pumped-storage hydropower volumes: 23.0TWh at end-September 2019 and 29.6TWh at end-September 2020.

The decline in volumes distributed and in grid connection services reflected the impact of the health crisis on the first half year of business. This was estimated at a total of -€0.2 billion at the end of September 2020. It should be noted that some work, particularly grid connection services, benefited from a catch-up effect in the third quarter.

Mild weather had an estimated unfavourable impact of -€226 million.

The change in prices had a positive effect of +€238 million, in line mainly with the favourable indexed adjustments to the TURPE 5 (3) distribution that took place on 1 August 2019 and 2020.

Sales for EDF Renewables amounted to €1,162 million, up 6.1% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The health crisis has not had a significant effect on EDF Renewables' business.

This increase was due, on one hand, to the increase in generation (+€36 million, or +4.3% in organic terms) driven by higher generated volumes, representing 11.2TWh (+6.2% organically) and mainly related to the facilities commissioned at the end of 2019, and on the other hand by solar energy projects on rooftops in the United States (+€26 million).

The gross portfolio of projects under construction continued to grow, reaching 6.7GW, of which 3.5GW in onshore wind power, 1.6GW in offshore wind power, 1.3GW in solar and 0.3GW in storage.

Sales from all of the Group's Renewables amounted to €2,972 million, up in organic terms by +2.7%, due mainly to the growth in volumes generated by hydro, wind and solar power.

Estimated hydropower output in France is up sharply (+24%), but remains penalised by negative spot prices (3).

  1. The difference between nominal and organic growth is due to intra-group transfers.
  2. Breakdown of sales across the segments, before inter-segments eliminations.
  3. For the renewable energy generation optimised within a larger portfolio of generation assets, in particular relating to the French hydro fleet after deduction of pumped volumes, sales are estimated, by convention, as the valuation of the output generated at spot market prices (or at purchase obligation tariff) without taking into account hedging effects, and include the valuation of the capacity, if applicable.

Sales for Dalkia amounted to €2,807 million, down 10.6% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The change in sales reflected the impact of the health crisis during the first half year on sales volumes of energy and services, in connection with the closure of many customer sites and the postponement of construction work during the first half year, both in France and abroad (estimated at -€0.2 billion).

However, it should be noted that a commercial dynamism has been maintained, particularly in the healthcare, industrial and housing sectors.

Sales were also affected by the fall in gas prices (with no significant impact on the margin thanks to the hedging mechanism) and the exceptionally mild weather in Q1.

In the United Kingdom, sales amounted to €6,717 million, up 7.8% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The health crisis had an estimated negative impact on sales of -€0.4 billion, due mainly to the drop in consumption in the portfolio of industrial and professional customers.

The positive trend in sales can be explained by the increase in nuclear realised prices and the recovery of the capacity market. These favourable factors were partially impacted by a nuclear output of 32.6TWh at the end of September, down 4.3TWh (2), following the Hinkley Point B graphite inspection outages and a scheduled outage at Heysham 2 in the first half of the year. Dungeness B was still offline while Hunterston B was back to service in September 2020.

In a highly competitive environment, the portfolio of residential customers was down 0.7% compared to September 2019.

In Italy, sales amounted to €4,218 million, down 26.2% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Overall, the health crisis affected sales in Italy for an estimated -€0.1 billion due to the drop in gas and electricity consumption, mainly from industrial clients, and due to the decline in service activities.

In the gas activities, sales were affected by lower market prices (decline in spot prices of more than 40%), which had a limited impact on EBITDA, and by a negative volume effect due to mild weather in the first quarter.

In the electricity activities, sales were down mainly due to lower market prices (with a limited impact on EBITDA).

  1. Breakdown of sales across the segments, before inter-segments eliminations.
  2. The shutdown of one of the two Sizewell B turbines at the request of National Grid between May and September 2020 had an unfavourable impact of 2.1TWh on 2020 output. This loss was financially compensated in revenues.

Sales for Other international amounted to €1,749 million, down 5.2% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

In Belgium (2), sales were down organically (- 8.9%). The health crisis had an estimated unfavourable impact of -€0.1 billion due to lower consumption, an unfavourable market price effect and a decline in service activities. Revenues were affected by lower market prices (electricity and gas) for residential and industrial customers and by a negative volume effect related to a mild climate and ever-increasing competition. Moreover, the first nine months of the year benefited from a strong performance in wind farm generation, which rose sharply to 819GWh (+41% compared to September 2019) thanks to favourable wind conditions and the increase of installed capacity. Net installed wind capacity increased to 492MW (3), or +4.9% compared to end-September 2019.

In Brazil, sales were up 5.2% in organic terms, mainly due to the revaluation in November 2019 of +5% of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) price linked to the EDF Norte Fluminense plant. The effect of the health crisis in Brazil is not material on the Group's activities. A significant exchange rate effect should be noted due to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against Euro.

Sales for Other activities amounted to €1,589 million, down 25.3% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The gas business was mainly affected by the decline in spot gas prices over most of the period and by lower volumes in the LNG business, resulting in a lower utilisation of gas assets. As a reminder, the gas business was affected by a provision for onerous contracts recorded at end of June, mainly due to the downward revision of medium and long-term spreads between the U.S.A. and Europe.

Sales for EDF Trading amounted to €693 million, down -16.2% in organic terms compared to the first nine months of 2019. The health crisis had a limited impact on the trading margins for an amount estimated at - €0.02 billion at the end of September. The performance of trading activities remains strong thanks in particular to overall high volatility after an exceptional year in 2019. The increase in hedging activities and in LNG trading and optimisation activities also contributed to this result.
