The decrease in commitments given related to acquisition of tangible and intangible fixed assets is mainly explained by progress on many projects developed by EDFRenewables in the United States and Brazil, and the lower commitments by EDFEnergy, mainly due to the effect of the depreciation of the pound sterling against the euro. The decrease in Enedis’ commitments is due to the continued rollout of Linky meters.
New contracts were signed by EDF PEI in 2020 in connection with the Larivot power plant project in Guyana (a renewable-energy plant using liquid biomass, developed aspart of the multi-year energy plan).
The main share purchase commitments that cannot be valued concern Luminus.
Luminus signed an amendment to the shareholder pact on 26 October 2015 defining a liquidity clause for the investments held by its minority shareholders, which could, in certain conditions under the control of EDF, result in sale of their shares through anIPO, or purchase of their shares by the Group at market value. This liquidity clause is valid at all times from 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2025.
Regarding the investment in EDF Investissements Groupe (EIG), C3 (a fully-ownedEDF subsidiary) and NBI (Natixis Belgique Investissement, a subsidiary of the Natixis group) amended the agreements for their investment in EIGon 19 December 2018.
C3 now has a call option to buy EIG shares held by NBI at a fixed price, exercisable at any time until May 2026. Meanwhile, NBI has a put option to sell EDF all of its EIG shares for a fixed amount of cash, exercisable subject to certain conditions betweenFebruary 2024 and May 2025.
Due to their features, in compliance with IAS 32, NBI’s put option and C3’s call option are considered as derivatives and their net value is included in the positive or negative fair value of trading derivatives. At 31 December 2020, the fair value of these trading derivatives is not significant.
On 7 December Framatome signed a final purchase contract with Rolls Royce to acquire its Civil Nuclear Instrumentation and Control (I&C) activity. The transaction should be completed early in the second half of 2021, subject to customary conditions including regulatory approvals.
