21.2.1.1 Operating lease commitments as lessor

In 2021, the Group benefits from commitments as lessor in operating leases amounting to €661 million. These commitments mainly concern the Independent Power Projects (IPPs) and real estate leases.

21.2.1.2 Operating sale commitments

Operating sale commitments received exclude energy deliveries and principally concern firm orders made through contracts recorded on a percentage-of- completion basis at Framatome (construction and engineering contracts) and EDF Renewables (agreements for operation services, maintenance services, and development and sale of structured assets).

21.2.1.3 Operating guarantees received

Operating guarantees received principally concern Framatome, and relate to supply and technical assistance contracts for EDF’s nuclear power plants with guarantees received from suppliers, particularly in connection with ARENH deliveries.

21.2.1.4 Electricity supply commitments

In the course of its business, the EDF group has signed long-term contracts to supply electricity as follows:

  • long-term contracts with a number of European electricity operators, for a specific plant or for a defined group of plants in the French nuclear generation fleet, corresponding to installed power capacity of 3.5GW;
  • in execution of France’s “NOME” Law on organisation of the French electricity market, EDF has a commitment to sell some of the energy generated by its existing nuclear power plants to other suppliers, until 31 December 2025. This has concerned a maximum volume of 150TWh each year since 1 January 2020. (see note 23).
