As part of managing its portfolio of renewable energy assets, the Group may sell stakes in the assets it develops. At 31 December 2019 the Group held 39%, 14% and 91% and 100% of generation capacity financed under Green Bonds no. 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

Impact of financed Eligible Projects

The table below shows three main impacts associated with the renewable energy projects that received Green Bond financing:

  • the electricity generation capacity built under each EDF Renewables or Luminus project or renovated, modernised or developed as part of the hydropower investments;
  • the additional electricity generation expected from each project; and
  • the estimated CO2 emissions avoided as a result of injecting this additional electricity generation into the electricity grid.

These impacts are presented in aggregate: gross data correspond to the aggregate impact of every project that received financing from the Green Bond in question; while the net values correspond to the sum total of the impact of each Eligible Project weighted by the share of project investment amount financed by the Green Bond in question.

(1) Sum of the gross impacts of each project that received Green Bonds financing.
(2) Sum of the impacts of each project weighted by the project investment amount financed by the Green Bond in question.
(3) Only related to the expected additional generation resulting from development investments, including half of the expected additional generation of the Romanche-Gavet project.

The above impacts are established using the methodological principles below:

  • generation capacity of financed projects: installed capacity at the end of the construction of each Eligible Project as defined in the project’s investment memorandum and updated as appropriate during the construction phase or at project commissioning;
  • expected output: generation forecast (the “P50”) taken into account when the investment decision of each Eligible Project is made;
  • avoided CO2 emissions: the average emission factor per kWh of the electric system is estimated on the basis of the energy mix of the electric system and LCA emission factors of each generation technology. The emission factor of the project corresponds to the LCA emission factor of the project’s production chain. The energy mixes are those published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA, 2018) for large power networks in the United States, Statistics Canada (2018) for the networks and provinces of Canada, and the International Energy Agency (2018) for other countries. LCA emission factors of each technology correspond to the median values established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and published in its fifth assessment report (2014). The detailed methodology is available on request at the EDF group head office. It is important to note that (i) there is no single standard defining a methodology for calculating avoided CO2 emissions and (ii) the expected output and, therefore avoided, CO2 emissions are estimated forecast data and not actual data.
