Hydrocarbon production was 2,863 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboe/d) in the first quarter 2021, a decrease of 7% year-on-year, comprised of:


   -- -3% due to compliance with OPEC+ quotas, notably in Nigeria, the United 
      Arab Emirates and Kazakhstan, 
 
   -- +2% due to resumption of production in Libya, 
 
   -- +2% due to the start-up and ramp-up of projects, notably North Russkoye 
      in Russia, Culzean in the United Kingdom, Johan Sverdrup in Norway and 
      Iara in Brazil, 
 
   -- -2% due to portfolio effect, notably the sales of assets in the United 
      Kingdom and Block CA1 in Brunei, 
 
   -- -3% due to unplanned maintenance shut-downs notably in Norway, 
 
   -- -3% due to the natural decline of fields.

Despite hydrocarbon production for LNG in the first quarter of 2021, down 6% year-over-year, mainly due to the shutdown of the Snøhvit LNG plant following a fire at the end of September 2020, total LNG sales were stable in the first quarter of 2021.

EBITDA: "Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization >>

Gross installed renewable power generation capacity grew to 7.8 GW at the end of the first quarter 2021, in line with the target of 10 GW by end-2021.

The portfolio of power capacity in operation, in construction and in development for 2025 has more than doubled from a year ago. It grew by 10 GW in the first quarter 2021 to 36 GW gross and 28 GW net, including the 20% interest in Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) and the acquisition of a 4 GW portfolio of solar projects in the US.

Net electricity production was 4.7 TWh in the first quarter 2021, an increase of 61% year-over-year, notably due to doubling production from renewable sources and the acquisition of four CCGT in France and Spain in the fourth quarter 2020.

Sales of electricity and gas in the first quarter 2021 increased by 13% and 8%, respectively, compared to the first quarter 2020 thanks to the growth in the number of customers.

The Group's share of EBITDA for the Renewables and Electricity activity was $344 million in the first quarter 2021, an increase of 38% year-on-year, driven by the growth in electricity production, mainly from renewables, and the number of gas and electricity customers.

Adjusted net operating income for the iGRP segment was $985 million in the first quarter, a new record high. The year-on-year increase of 8%, despite the lower price of LNG, reflects the growing contribution of the Renewables and Electricity activity and good performance of trading.

Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $1,059 million in the first quarter 2021, an increase of 76% compared to the first quarter 2020, for the same reasons.
