Börsengang der "grünen Energien" vom französichen Energieriesen und Marktführer

WKN: A0LEEK
Heimatbörse: Paris

Die Électricité de France (EDF) ist die vormals staatliche französische Elektrizitätsgesellschaft und ist der französische Marktführer.

Sie wurde am 8. April 1946 gegründet. Seit dem 19. November 2004 ist die EDF eine Aktiengesellschaft.

Bis zum Beginn der Liberalisierung des Europäischen Energiermarktes verfügte EDF in Frankreich über ein Quasimonopol im Bereich des Stromhandels, nicht jedoch über ein solches in der Stromerzeugung.

EDF ist der wertvollste Stromkonzern Europas: Börsenwert beträgt 75 Milliarden Euro (2006).

Die Tochtergesellschaft Réseau de Transport d'Electricité (RTE) betreibt das Übertragungsnetz des Unternehmens.


EDF betreibt derzeit weltweit 58 Kernkraftwerke an 20 Standorten. Hiervon verfügen 34 Reaktoren über eine Nennleistung von über 900 MW, 20 Reaktoren sind für 1.300 MW ausgelegt. Die verbleibenden vier Kraftwerke erzeugen jeweils 1.450 MW. Die Gesamtkapazität aller Kraftwerke der EDF beträgt zur Zeit 125.447 MW.

Im Jahre 2003 produzierte das Unternehmen mit 496 Mrd. kWh über 22 % der insgesamt in der Europäischen Union erzeugten elektrischen Energie.

Hiervon wurden 74,5 % atomar erzeugt, 16,2 % entstanden aus Wasserkraft, 9,2 % wurden in Wärmekraftwerken erzeugt. Lediglich 0,1 % der erzeugten Energie wurde aus Windkraft oder anderen regenerativen Energieträgern gewonnen.

EDF beschäftigt weltweit zur Versorgung von ca. 41 Millionen Kunden über 167.300 Angestellte.

In Deutschland hält die EDF 45,01 % am baden-württembergischen Energieversorger EnBW.

In Österreich ist der Konzern mit 25 % + 1 Aktie am steiermärkischen Energieversorger ESTAG sowie jeweils 100 % an den Versorgern Vero und ASA beteiligt.

Weiterhin engagiert sich EDF auf den Energiemärkten in Belgien, Spanien, Großbritannien, Ungarn, Italien, den Niederlanden, Polen, der Slowakei, Schweden, der Schweiz, der Elfenbeinküste, Ägypten, Argentinien, Brasilien, den USA, Mexiko, China und Vietnam.

Starke Nachfrage nach Aktien von EDF-Ökostromfirma
Mi Nov 29, 2006 7:19 MEZ

Paris (Reuters) - Das für Mittwoch geplante Börsendebüt des französischen Ökostromkonzerns EDF Energies Nouvelles ist bei Anlegern auf großes Interesse gestoßen.

Der Ausgabepreis werde bei 28 Euro je Aktie und damit am oberen Ende der Preisspanne des Angebots liegen, teilte Euronext am Dienstag mit. Das Papier der Tochter des Energiekonzerns EDF sei 27 Mal überzeichnet gewesen, erklärte der Betreiber der Pariser Börse weiter. "Die Nachfrage kam von überall, vor allem aus Frankreich, Großbritannien und den USA", sagte ein mit dem IPO vertrauter Bank-Mitarbeiter.

Mit einem Ausgabepreis von 28 Euro kann EDF Energies Nouvelles bei der Ausübung einer Mehrzuteilungsoption 391 Millionen Euro einnehmen. Weitere Aktien im Wert von 134 Millionen Euro sollen an eine weitere EDF-Tochter fließen. Der Energiekonzern will auf diese Weise die Kontrolle über 50 Prozent der Aktien von EDF Energies Nouvelles halten. Zusammen mit einem zusätzlichen konzerninternen Aktienprogramm kann die Ökostromfirma bei dem IPO insgesamt 535 Millionen einnehmen.

EDF beginnt mit Börsengang seiner Öko-Strom-Tochter

Insgesamt sollen 22,75 Prozent des Kapitals am Markt platziert werden. Die Aktien werden bis zum 27. November in einer Spanne von 24,10 bis 28 Euro angeboten. Mit dem Geld soll die Entwicklung im Bereich Windkraft vorangetrieben werden.
Paris - Alternative Energien sorgen an der Pariser Börse demnächst für frischen Wind. Der französische Stromgigant EDF (Electricité de France) leitete gestern den Börsengang seiner Filiale Energies Nouvelles (EN) ein. Insgesamt sollen 22,75 Prozent des Kapitals am Markt platziert werden. Die Aktien werden bis zum 27. November in einer Spanne von 24,10 bis 28 Euro angeboten. Der endgültige Ausgabepreis werde am 28. November festgesetzt, bevor einen Tag später der Handel beginne, erklärte EN-Verwaltungsratschef und Gründer Paris Mouratoglou. Der Börsengang könnte dem Unternehmen, das je zur Hälfte EDF und der Mouratoglou-Gruppe gehört, bei einem Preis in der Mitte der Spanne 500 Mio. Euro in die Kasse spülen. Damit wolle EN seine Entwicklung vor allem im Bereich Windkraft vorantreiben, um seine eigenen Stromerzeugungskapazitäten bis Ende 2011 wie geplant von derzeit 746 Megawatt auf 3000 Megawatt zu steigern, sagte Mouratoglou.

EDF wird seine Beteiligung im Rahmen des Börsengangs nicht reduzieren. Mouratoglou selber dagegen überschreibt einen Teil seiner Anteile EDF, übernimmt aber weiter die wirtschaftlichen Risiken. Der endgültige Verkauf seiner Anteile soll dann vor 2010 zu einem Preis auf Basis des Durchschnittskurses der 60 vorhergehenden Handelstage erfolgen. Die 1990 gegründete Gruppe, nach eigenen Angaben weltweit einer der führenden Anbieter auf dem stark zersplitterten Markt für alternative Energien, erzeugt Strom aus Wind, Sonne, Wasserkraft und Biomasse. Sie ist in neun Ländern Europas und den USA vertreten. Der Hauptteil der von EN erzeugten Energie, nämlich 78 Prozent, stammt aus Windkraft. Für diesen Bereich rechne er mittelfristig mit einem jährlichen Wachstum von 20 Prozent, sagte Moratoglou 2005 kam EN auf einen Umsatz von 336,2 Mio. Euro und ein Ergebnis vor Steuern, Zinsen und Abschreibungen (Ebitda) von 62,3 Mio. Euro.

EDF Energies Nouvelles IPO priced at 28 eur/share, trading to begin today
PARIS (AFX) - EDF Energies Nouvelles, (Nachrichten) the renewable energy unit of Electricite de France, said the initial public offer price for shares in the company has been set at 28 eur, the high end of the 24.10-28 eur range indicated earlier this month.

The shares will begin trading today at 10.00 am in Paris.

The offering to institutional investors was 31 times over-subscribed, while demand from retail investors was 9.5 times the amount offered, it said.

Nearly 340 mln eur was raised from the IPO, and the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the deal's underwriters would raise this amount to 390.9 mln.

EDF Energies Nouvelles also carried out a capital increase reserved for EDF, which raised an additional 134.4 mln eur. EDF will have a 50 pct stake in the company.

The Mouratoglou Group, an investment vehicle led by EDF Energies Nouvelles CEO Paris Mouratoglou, and other investors will hold a 27.43 pct stake, and the remaining 22.57 pct will be traded on the Paris Bourse.

'The proceeds from the capital increase will allow us to accelerate our growth, particularly in wind power activities, while pursuing the development of our other core businesses,' Mouratoglou said.

JP Morgan and Lazard-Ixis were the joint global coordinators and bookrunners of the offering.

EDF will nach Börsengang der Tochter Energies Nouvelles Anteil behalten
Das französische Energiekonzern Electricite de France (EdF) <PEDF.PSE> will auch nach dem Börsengang seiner Windenergie-Tochter Energies Nouvelles (Nachrichten) seinen Anteil behalten. Insgesamt ist geplant, 25 Prozent der Aktien über eine Kapitalerhöhung an die Börse zu bringen, wie aus am Dienstag in Paris bei der Finanzmarktaufsicht eingereichten Unterlagen hervor geht. EDF werde seine 50 Prozent an Energies Nouvelles behalten. Die restlichen 50 Prozent liegen derzeit noch bei privaten Investoren, deren Anteil sich entsprechend verringern wird.

Mit dem Börsengang, dessen Zeitpunkt bislang noch nicht feststeht, will Energies Nouvelles vor allem die weitere Expansion finanzieren. Schwerpunkt wird dabei die Windenergie sein, das Unternehmen betreibt aber auch Solar-, Wasserkraft- und Biomasse-Projekte. Die Gesellschaft will den Unterlagen zufolge insgesamt weitere 1,39 Milliarden Euro in Windanlagen in Frankreich, Griechenland, Italien, Spanien, Portugal, Großbritannien und den USA investieren. EDF-Chairman Pierre Gadonneix hatte zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt mitgeteilt, bis 2010 drei Milliarden Euro in die Windenergie stecken zu wollen.

Energies Nouvelles erwartet für 2006 ein Ergebnis vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen (EBITDA) von mindestens 90 Millionen Euro, das im Jahr darauf auf mindestens 125 Millionen Euro steigen soll. Die Zeitung "Les Echos" hatte berichtet, der Börsengang könnte bereits im November anstehen./FX/she/fn

Hi Clean,
ich hatte mir gestern noch eine Einstiegsposition in Paris gekauft und danach den Thread aufgemacht. Den Mutterkonzern EDF und AREVA (mit 29,6% an REPower beteiligt) kenne ich noch von meiner Zeit bei der Urananreicherung. Im Verhältnis zu der Größe von EDF sind ihre Ökostromaktivitäten noch bescheiden. Das kann sich aber noch ändern. Der span. grüne Versorger Iberdrola zeigt, wie man es macht mit über 10.000 MW grüner Energie bis 2011 ohne Scottish Power. Iberdrola ist auch zu 25% an Gamesa, Nr. 2 weltweit bei Windkraft, beteiligt.

15.08.2006 Stromerzeugung durch Windenergie in Deutschland voll im Plan.


Deutschlands Windmüller haben in der ersten Jahreshälfte 13,5 Milliarden Kilowattstunden Strom erzeugt. Das ist mehr als die Hälfte der gesamten Jahresproduktion 2005. Der Bundesverband Windenergie sagt: Strom aus Windenergie ist zuverlässiger als die großen Energieversorger behaupten. Wie in den letzten Jahren wird die Windenergie auch 2006 ihren Marktanteil um einen Prozentpunkt steigern. Und die windreichen Herbstmonate stehen noch bevor. Der Bundesverband Windenergie rechnet für 2006 mit einem Windenergieanteil von sechs Prozent an der deutschen Stromversorgung. Auch in relativ windarmen Monaten wie dem Juli ist Windstrom ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Grundversorgung mit Strom. Mit fast einer Milliarde Kilowattstunden lieferte die Windenergie im Juli genauso viel Strom wie ein Grundlast-Kraftwerk mit 1.300 Megawatt. Das entspricht der Leistung eines Kernkraftwerks. Im Verbund mit Wasserkraft, Solar- und Bioenergie können die erneuerbaren Energien ebenso gleichmäßig Strom produzieren wie konventionelle Kraftwerke - nur sauberer. Gerade die Solarenergie ist in den windschwachen Sommermonaten eine hervorragende Ergänzung zur Windenergie. Mehr Sorgen als die Sommerflaute macht dem Bundesverband Windenergie eher der verzögerte Ausbau der Stromnetze, mit dem die Netzbetreiber Umsatzsteigerungen der Windmüller verhindern wollen.

Energies Nouvelles legt triumphales Börsendebüt hin
EDF-Öko-Tochter geht mit Kurssprung an den Start
DieWelt.de - 30.11.06

Paris - Triumphaler Start für die EDF-Tochter Energies Nouvelles (EN): Sie feierte gestern an der Pariser Börse ein traumhaftes Debüt. Die Aktie des Alternativstrom-Produzenten ging mit einem deutlichen Plus in den Handel und legte innerhalb von nur einer Stunde um 19 Prozent auf 33,23 Euro zu. Damit wird der vor allem auf Windkraft spezialisierte Konzern, der 22,57 Prozent seines Kapitals am Markt platzierte, mit zwei Mrd. Euro bewertet - dem sechsfachen seines aktuellen Umsatzes. Auf einen ähnlich furiosen Start hofft nun auch Natixis, die gerade aus einer Fusion neu entstandene Großbank.

Die Investoren hätten einen enormen Appetit auf die Ökostrom-Papiere, erklärten französische Börsenhändler gestern. So war das Angebot an institutionelle Investoren denn auch 31-fach und das an Privatanleger mehr als neunfach überzeichnet. Die EN-Aktie sei vor allem in Frankreich, Großbritannien und den USA sehr gefragt gewesen, sagte ein mit dem Börsengang vertrauter Bank-Mitarbeiter. Der Ausgabepreise wurde deshalb mit 28 Euro pro Aktie am obersten Ende der angestrebten Preisspanne von 24,10 bis 28 Euro festgelegt. Die beiden Konsortialführer JP Morgan Securities und Lazard-Ixis dürften schon bald die Mehrzuteilungsoption für weitere 1,82 Millionen EN-Aktien ausüben. Der Börsengang spülte 390 Mio. Euro in die Kasse des 1990 gegründeten Unternehmens. Weitere 134,4 Mio. Euro aus der Kapitalerhöhung wurden zugunsten des Mutterkonzerns EDF erzielt. Der Stromgigant hält nach dem IPO weiter 50 Prozent des EN-Kapitals. 27,43 Prozent der Anteile befinden sich in den Händen der Mouratoglou-Gruppe und 22,57 Prozent in Streubesitz.

"Wir sind sehr glücklich über den ausgezeichneten Empfang, der unserem Unternehmen in Frankreich und im Ausland bereitet wurde", erklärte EN-Chef Pâris Mouratoglou. "Die Einnahmen werden uns helfen, unser Wachstum voran zu treiben, vor allem im Bereich Windkraft, aber auch in anderen strategisch wichtigen Geschäftsfeldern." EN ist nach eigenen Angaben einer der weltweit führenden Anbieter auf dem stark zersplitterten Markt für alternative Energien. Die in neun europäischen Ländern sowie den USA vertretene Gruppe erzeugt Strom vor allem aus Wind, aber auch aus Sonne, Wasserkraft sowie Biomasse. 2005 kam EN auf einen Umsatz von 336,2 Mio. Euro und ein Ergebnis vor Steuern, Zinsen und Abschreibungen (Ebitda) von 62,3 Mio. Euro.

Damit wirkt EN im Vergleich zu dem neuen französischen Bankenriesen Natixis wie ein Leichtgewicht. Die durch die Fusion der Investmentsparten der Sparkassen Caisse d'Epargne und der Volksbanken Banques Populaires entstandene Gruppe kam 2005 rechnerisch auf einen Überschuss von 1,7 Mrd. Euro und strebt ebenfalls an die Börse. Vor allem bei französischen Privatanlegern ist das neue Papier gefragt: Bis Dienstag hatten bereits 1,5 Millionen Anleger die Aktie geordert, für mehr als 2,5 Mrd. Euro. Das entspricht der Hälfte des Angebots. Nach Angaben von Beobachtern rühren die beiden Mutter-Banken Caisse d'Epargne und Banques Populaires bei ihren eigenen Kunden eifrig die Werbetrommel für das Papier.

Institutionelle Investoren, vor allem aus Großbritannien, zeigten sich dagegen zurückhaltender. Sie würden versuchen, den Ausgabepreis auf unter 20 Euro zu drücken, heißt es. Natixis wird zwar gleich zum Börsenstart am 6. Dezember zu den 20 größten französischen Börsenwerten gehören. Doch der geringe Streubesitz von rund 32 Prozent und die große Präsenz von Bankenwerten erschwert Experten zufolge eine schnelle Aufnahme der viertgrößten Bank Frankreichs in den Leitindex CAC 40.

@n Boss was sagst du dazu...


Clean, zu dem Thema fällt mir eine Menge zu ein. Ich hatte Deine Posting übersehen. Erst mal zur Windkraft:

Frankreich wird in den nächsten Jahren
zum bedeutenden Markt für die Windenergiebranche

WindEnergy – International Trade Fair
Vom 16. bis 19. Mai 2006 auf dem Hamburger Messegelände

Die internationale Windenergie-Branche ist sich einig, dass sich das „Atomstromland“ Frankreich bald zu einem wichtigen Zielmarkt entwickeln wird. Unterstützt wird dies durch das Gesetz zum „Ausbau der Erneuerbaren Energien und der Energieeffizienz“, das am 13. Juli 2005 verabschiedet wurde. Mit dem neuen Gesetz werden die Rahmenbedingungen für Windenergie-Projekte und Offshore-Parks in Frankreich erheblich verbessert. Die Entwicklung des „Windenergie-Neulings“ hin zu einem der Kernmärkte der Branche wird auch Thema auf der internationalen Fachmesse WindEnergy vom 16. bis 19. Mai 2006 in Hamburg sein. Im Kontakt mit den in Frankreich aktiven Ausstellern sowie in speziellen Länderforen und Vorträgen erfahren Fachbesucher wichtige Details über die rechtlichen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen des französischen Windmarktes.

Hauptziel des neuen Gesetzes ist es, die Stromversorgung Frankreichs bis 2010 umzustrukturieren und zu diversifizieren. Die französische Regierung strebt insbesondere eine Erhöhung der Onshore-Windenergie im Energiemix an. Aus einer kürzlich durchgeführten Umfrage geht hervor, dass 91 Prozent der Franzosen den Ausbau der Windenergie im Lande befür­worten. Anfang Oktober 2005 erreichte die insgesamt installierte Windenergieleistung gerade 516 MW: Das ist im Vergleich zum Jahresende 2004 ein Zuwachs um 126 MW, wobei noch viele Projekte in der Planung sind. Derzeit gibt die Regierung das Ziel von insgesamt 10 000 MW bis 2010 vor. Dieses Volumen wird jedoch nach Einschätzung von BTM Consult mit dem heutigen Entwicklungstempo kaum zu schaffen sein. Gleichzeitig sagte das Unternehmen kürzlich voraus, dass Frankreich in den nächsten Jahren zur Gruppe der sieben größten Wind­energiemärkte gehören wird, so dass sich seine Kapazitäts­prognose von 7746 MW für 2015 möglicherweise als zu konservativ erweise. Zu den Faktoren, die die Ent­wick­lung beschleunigen können, gehören gute Windressourcen im Land sowie die aktuelle Streichung des 12-MW-Limits für Windparks.

Für ausländische Firmen ist besonders interessant, dass es in Frankreich nur einen einzigen lokalen Hersteller gibt: die Firma Vergnet, die leichte Turbinen bis 275 kW vorwiegend für den Export herstellt. Die Firma Jeumont Industrie, eine Tochter des Atomgiganten Framatome ANP, ist inzwischen aus dem Wind­energie­geschäft ausgestiegen. Framatome, eine Verbindung aus Areva und Siemens, ist ein „weltweit führendes Unternehmen in Entwicklung und Bau von Kernkraftwerken“. Areva wurde kürzlich neuer Aktionär von REpower....AREVA, ist mit 29% an REPower beteiligt. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areva

Die Mehrheit der führenden Anlagenhersteller der Branche ist in Frankreich aktiv. GE Energy, Aussteller der WindEnergy 2006, erhielt unter anderem Anfang des Jahres den Zuschlag für Projekte an sechs Standorten in Südfrankreich (insgesamt 57 MW). Die Firma REpower liefert in diesem Jahr ein Drittel ihrer Produktion nach Frankreich. Laut Repower S.A.S.-Mediensprecher Oliver Mersch entspricht das einer Leistung von 130 MW, und für das Jahr 2006 erwartet er mindestens den gleichen Auftragsumfang. Mersch: „Der plötzliche Nachfrageanstieg kam schneller als wir erwartet haben und stellt eine echte Herausforderung dar. Der französische Marktwandel vom Käufer‑ zum Verkäufermarkt ist für uns natürlich sehr positiv.“ Er stellt zugleich fest, dass sich die positiven Auswirkungen der Beteiligung von Areva an REpower bereits zeigen.

Nordex schloss 2004 Verträge für neue französische Aufträge im Umfang von 204 MW. Die meisten Projekte werden in diesem Jahr sowie 2006 in Betrieb genommen. Dazu Firmensprecher Ralf Peters: „Bei den meisten Projekten von insgesamt 204 MW kommen 2,3 MW-Anlagen des Typs N 90 zum Einsatz. Die im dritten Quartal 2005 erhaltenen Aufträge für acht neue Windparkprojekte belaufen sich auf 94 Mio. Euro: Ende September stammte 49 Prozent unseres Auftrags­bestands aus Frankreich. In den nächsten Jahren wird Frankreich für uns weiterhin zu den Schlüsselmärkten gehören.“ Peters weist außerdem auf den riesigen Druck bei den Projektentwicklern hin, zugelassene Projekte schnellstmöglich in Betrieb zu nehmen. Die Vergütung pro kWh wird nämlich nach Erreichen der Obergrenze von 1500 MW installierter Leistung reduziert. Sowohl Nordex als auch REpower sind Aussteller der WindEnergy 2006.

Windenergiefirmen aus dem Ausland beobachten ebenso sehr aufmerksam die Möglichkeiten des potenziell lukrativen französischen Offshore-Marktes. Die Projektentwickler Enertrag und Prokon Nord erhielten überraschend den Zuschlag für den ersten genehmigten französischen Offshore-Windpark. Die 21 Anlagen (5 MW Multibrid) werden 2007/08 in ca. 23 m Wassertiefe vor der Küste der Normandie aufgestellt. Schließlich reagiert auch der einzige französische Stromversorger EDF auf den internationalen Boom der regenerativen Energien: EDF hat mit seiner Erneuerbare-Energien-Sparte die Windenergie-Arena betreten und u.a. den Planungsauftrag für ein Projekt über insgesamt 48 MW in Frankreich erhalten. Der Stromgigant ist auch an drei Offshore-Projekten in England beteiligt. Schließlich fasst Bernard Chabot, Windexperte der Behörde für Umwelt und Energieversorgung ADEME die Bestrebungen in seinem Land so zusammen: “Bei der Entwicklung der Windenergie folgt Frankreich zunehmend dem Beispiel der Windnation Deutschland. Frankreich will sich ebenfalls als potenzieller Zulieferer für die deutsche Windenergie etablieren. Die WindEnergy 2006 in Hamburg bietet uns eine optimale Plattform zur Erreichung dieser Ziele.”

Die WindEnergy – International Trade Fair wird vom 16. bis 19. Mai 2006 in den ersten drei fertig gestellten Hallen der Neuen Messe Hamburg veranstaltet. Die ganz auf diesen aufstrebenden Wirtschaftszweig spezialisierte Leitmesse bietet Herstellern und Zulieferern von Windenergieanlagen, Planern, Finanzierungsinstituten, Mess- und Zerti­fizie­rungs­stellen sowie Fachleuten aus Forschung und Entwicklung ein optimales Forum zum weiteren Ausbau dieses Zukunftsmarktes. Zu den Kernthemen der WindEnergy 2006 gehören der Export, die Offshoretechnik sowie die Finanzierung. Weitere Information unter www.windenergy.de

Goldman Sachs hält 48 Prozent von N....x


Hi Clean,
ich hatte Dein Posting zu Nordex un GS in der Eile übersehen. Die GS Firma "GPM" (Gesiton de Partimonios Mobilliaros) taucht auch immer im spanischen Brokerhandel auf. Ich wußte nicht, daß sich dahinter eine GS Tochtergesellschaft versteckt. GS ist auch in in Iogen mit einer Schlüsseltechnik für Bioethanol aus Biomasse in Kanada investiert.

Goldman Sachs investiert 30 Mill. C$ in Iogen
http://www.iogen.ca/news_events/press_releases/2006_05_06.ht…

Die starke Nordex Beteiligung von GS macht Sinn bei dem hohem Nachholbedarf in Frankreich und fehlenden französichen Anbietern. Es ist auch nicht ausgeschlossen, das sich die Franzosen selbst bei Nordex einkaufen werden und sie teuer verkaufen können. Der halbstaatliche Konzern AREVA (29% Anteilseigner bei REPower) hat sich auch in die euroäische Urananreicherungsindustrie mit 500 Mill.€ eingekauft. Geld spielt bei den Franzosen keine Rolle, sie haben genug davon.

Gruß, bossi

Total and EDF Inaugurate Solar Panel Plant in France

La Tour de Salvagny, France [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] Total and French electric utility EDF will inaugurate a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel production plant owned by their joint subsidiary Tenesol. Located in Saint-Martin-du-Touch in the Greater Toulouse region, the plant has a current capacity of 17 megawatts (MW) per year and is expected to create around 100 direct and indirect jobs. Tenesol already operates a PV panel production plant in South Africa.

Frankreich im hinteren Feld

Hinten schlurfen die Vereinigten Staaten mit 13% der installierten Weltleistung. Bis jetzt spielt Europa nur eine Nebenrolle, auch wenn Spanien und die Niederlande ihre Leistung allmählich erhöhen.
Frankreich, wo die nukleare Lobby lange vorherrschte, befindet sich mit weniger als 1% der Gesamtleistung im hinteren Feld des Solarrennens.

Dennoch, die neulich durch die Regierung getroffenen Steuermaßnahmen könnten die Branche vorantreiben. Es handelt sich um folgende Regelungen: Eine Steuerermäßigung bzw. eine steuerliche Gutschrift von 50% für Neuanlagen und eine Erhöhung der Einspeisevergütung des Solarstroms durch EDF, d.h. 47 Ct pro kWh für Privathaushalte und 55 Ct für Gemeinden.

Wenn die Solarenergie zunehmend wettbewerbsfähiger wird, liegt es nicht nur an den Größenkostenersparnissen, die die Hersteller durch größere Serienproduktionen erzielt haben, sondern auch an dem technischen Fortschritt im Bereich der PV-Solaranlagen: Weniger Silizium - sehr teuer - in den Solarzellen, verbesserte Erträge und eine wirkungsvollere Integration in den Gebäuden.

"Wenn einerseits in Frankreich die Solarthermie die Hälfte des Warmwasserbedarfs decken kann, und auch gleichzeitig eine Heizungsunterstützung gewährleistet, könnte andererseits die Photovoltaik einen Anteil von 40% des nationalen Stromverbrauchs liefern", so Philippe Malbranche. "Und bis zu 60% in den Industrieländern, die über eine gute Sonneneinstrahlung verfügen und dünn besiedelte Gebiete ("habitat peu concentré") haben. Dies ermöglicht eine Vervielfältigung der Nutzflächen auf Dächern und Fassaden". Unter diesen Bedingungen hat die Solarenergie mit Sicherheit sonnige Tage vor sich.

Schönen Sontag Clean. Hier ein passender Artikel zum EDF Thema von Franz Alt von heute


:: Le Monde: Solarstrom wird preiswert

+ 10.12.2006 + "Anfang der neunziger Jahre lag der Preis für Solarstrom 10 mal höher als die bei der EDF eingekauften Kilowattstunde. Fünfzehn Jahre später haben sich die Kosten halbiert oder gedrittelt."
Philippe Malbranche, Experte für Solartechnologie bei der "Commissariat à l\'énergie atomique (CEA)", ist sich sicher: "Am Ende wird sich die Solarenergie durchsetzen" und zwar nicht aus ideologischen Gründen oder Gründen des Umweltschutzes sondern, "weil sie wirtschaftlich gesehen die rentabelste werde".

Das "Institut national de l\'énergie solaire (INES)" wurde diesen Sommer im Savoie-Technolac Park feierlich eröffnet. In diesem Institut haben sich Teams von dem CEA, dem CNRS, dem "Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment (CSTB)" und der Savoie-Universität zusammengeschlossen. Aus den Prognosen des INES geht hervor, dass es sich nicht um eine lauter Utopie handelt. In Frankreich, je nach dem, ob man im Süden oder im Norden wohnt und, - ob man über eine jährliche durchschnittliche Sonneneinstrahlung von 1800 oder 900 Stunden verfügt -, kostet heute der Strom aus Solaranlagen, wenn man in Betracht zieht, dass eine Anlage in zwanzig Jahren amortisiert ist, zwischen 25 und 50 Ct pro kWh. Dieser Betrag ist mit dem Grundtarif von dem EDF von etwa 13 Ct, inkl. Steuern, zu vergleichen.

Im Jahre 2010 sollte die Spanne sich zwischen 20 und 40 Ct bewegen. 2020 zwischen 10 und 20 Ct. Und, 2030 müssten die Kosten unter 10 Ct pro kWh sinken, egal, ob man in Lille oder in Marseille wohnt. "Wir können uns um 10 Jahre irren. Aber der Trend ist unvermeidbar", davon ist Philippe Malbranche überzeugt." Aber, mit 10 Ct pro kWh ist die Solarenergie wettbewerbsfähig im Vergleich zu allen anderen Energiequellen."

(...)

Der Weltmarkt der PV-Zellen zeigt ein unvorstellbares Wachstum von etwa 40% pro Jahr an. Ende der neunziger Jahre war Japan das erste Land, das die Weichen stellte. Seine gezielte Politik ist es, die Deckung der Hälfte seines eigenen Stromverbrauchs bis 2030 erreichen zu können.
Derzeit verfügt "das Land der Morgensonne" über 40% der installierten Weltleistung. Ende 2005 entsprach dies einer Leistung von 3,7 Mio. kW.
Deutschland folgte ihm und beschleunigt jetzt das Tempo, um nun dem japanischen Archipel bei der kumulierten Leistung zuvorzukommen.

French Stocks Rise, Led by Electricite de France, Lagardere

By Mahmoud Kassem

Dec. 13 (Bloomberg) -- French stocks rose, led by Electricite de France SA, Europe's largest power company by market value. Lagardere SCA, France's biggest publisher, also gained.

The CAC 40 Index added 49.03, or 0.9 percent, to 5475.85 in Paris. The SBF 120 Index rose 0.8 percent to 3993.90.

Electricite de France jumped to a record, adding 2.55 euros, or 4.8 percent, to 55.55 euros on speculation the company will benefit from the European Union forcing member states, including France, to scrap price caps.

The European Commission, the union's executive arm, said yesterday it was preparing to sue nations including France, Germany, Italy and Spain for allegedly thwarting competition in the electricity and natural-gas markets. Removing certain state- regulated tariffs is part of the commission's plan to open up the region's energy markets to full competition in mid-2007.

``This is exceptionally good news for EDF,'' Per Lekander, an analyst at UBS AG in London said today in a telephone interview. ``It means EDF may eventually be able to sell most of its power at market prices,'' he said.

Lagardere increased 1.45 euros, or 2.5 percent, to 59.1 euros after it was raised to `buy' from `neutral' at UBS.

``Magazines was the key area of underperformance'' in 2006, Charles Bedouelle and Polo Tang, analysts at UBS, wrote today in a research note.

``New division management will give full details for cost cutting and a more aggressive digital strategy on Jan. 25.''

Safran Drops

Societe Generale gained 1 euro, or 0.8 percent, to 126.4 euros after it was raised to `outperform' from `neutral' at Credit Suisse.

Safran, Europe's second-biggest maker of jet engines, dropped 1.01 euros, or 6 percent, to 15.95 euros. The company said it was investigating accounting irregularities at its defense division for possible fraud and cut its 2006 earnings outlook. The stock tumbled as much as 8.6 percent, its biggest drop since the company's formation in 2005.

``Disappointment over the third profit warning within six months,'' as well as difficulties in disposing of its mobile- phone unit, are ``likely to be a major near-term driver of underperformance,'' Sash Tusa, a Goldman Sachs analyst, wrote in a note to investors today.

The following stocks rose or fell in Paris. Stock symbols are in parentheses.

Alstom SA (ALO FP), the French maker of power stations and high-speed trains, rose 2.2 euros, or 2.3 percent, to 96.7 euros after it and its partners had the lowest bid for a contract to build subway stations in Athens.

Bouygues SA (EN FP), the world's second-biggest construction company, added 79 euro cents, or 1.7 percent, to 47.75 euros after its price estimate was raised to 56 euros from 49 euros at Citigroup.

CFF Recycling SA (CFF FP), a French recycling and services company, increased 1.7 euros, or 6.3 percent, to 28.8 euros. Net income for the year ended Sept. 30 rose to 61 million euros from 46 million euros. CFF said it will propose a dividend of 60 euro cents per share.

Manutan SA (MAN FP) jumped 2.51 euros, or 5.3 percent, to 50 euros after it said fiscal 2006 net income rose to 27 million euros from 17.8 million euros a year earlier. The stock was raised to ``buy'' from ``hold'' at Fideuram Wargny.

Remy Cointreau SA (RCO FP), Europe's fifth-largest liquor producer, gained for the second day to a 16-year high, adding 1.96 euros, or 4.1 percent, to 49.31 euros. Chairwoman Dominique Heriard-Dubreuil said yesterday a possible sale of her family's majority stake was ``a question for the future.''

STMicroelectronics NV (STM FP), Europe's largest semiconductor maker, advanced 51 euro cents, or 3.7 percent, to 14.23 euros after it said it plans to reorganize into three product areas to prepare for a ``strategic repositioning'' of its memory division.

Energieversorger investieren in Erneuerbare

(12. 04. 2006) Rund 50 Milliarden Euro wollen Europas Energieversorger bis 2011 in den Ausbau ihrer Kapazitäten zur Erzeugung von Strom aus erneuerbaren Energieträgern exklusive Großwasserkraft investieren. Das würde die bestehenden Kapazitäten von derzeit drei Prozent der Gesamtleistung auf etwa sechs Prozent verdoppeln, teilt das amerikanisch-spanische Marktforschungsinstitut Emerging Energy Research mit.
An der Spitze bleibt unangefochten die Windkraft, deren Leistung sich von derzeit rund 40 Gigawatt auf 75 Gigawatt erhöhen dürfte. Interessant für die Energieversorger (EVU) wird zunehmend auch die Stromerzeugung aus Biomasse. Vor allem die Biomassezufeuerung bei thermischen Kraftwerken gewinnt laut Emerging Energy an Bedeutung.
Ohne Berücksichtigung der Großwasserkraft liegt bei den Erneuerbaren der spanische Energieversorger Iberdrola mit einer Kapazität von knapp 3.500 Megawatt an der Spitze, gefolgt von der italienischen Enel mit etwa 2.200 Megawatt sowie der französischen EdF mit etwa 1.500 Megawatt. Iberdrola ist laut Emerging Energy der weltweit größte Windstrom-Produzent und will bis 2010 auch Solarthermie-Anlagen mit insgesamt 600 Megawatt installieren. Wird die Großwasserkraft mit eingerechnet, heißen die besten drei EVU Statkraft, Verbund und Iberdrola, wobei die Statkraft rund 98 Prozent ihres Stroms in derartigen Kraftwerken erzeugt.
Sieben große EVU erzeugen mehr als 50 Prozent ihres Stroms in so genannten „Carbon Free"-Kraftwerken, zu denen auch Kernkraftwerke gezählt werden. Dies sind Statkraft, British Energy, EdF, Iberdrola, Verbund Fortum und Vattenfall Europe.

...der grüne Versorger Iberdrola hat Gamesa (sind daran zu 25% beteiligt) vor kurzem einen 2,3 Mrd.€ Auftrag für Windkraft erteil. Nach der Übernahme von Scotish Power sind sie der größte Anbeiter von Ökostrom weltweit. Ausbauziel für Iberdrola bis 2011 über 10.000 MW. Es gibt long turbos auf Iberdrola von der DB.

18.12.2006, Pressemitteilung
Nordex liefert 26 Großturbinen nach England

65 MW Windpark mit Auftragsvolumen von rund 61 Mio. Euro


Hamburg, 18. Dezember 2006. Die Nordex AG baut ihre gute Marktposition in Großbritannien gezielt weiter aus. Jetzt liefert Nordex 26 Turbinen vom Typ N80/2.500 kW für den Windpark Scout Moor. Der Auftragswert des 65-MW-Projekts beträgt rund 61 Mio. Euro. Auftraggeber ist der britische Windparkentwickler Peel Wind Power Limited, eine Tochter des in Großbritannien führenden Immobilien- und Transportkonzerns Peel Holdings Limited. Damit hat der Hersteller seit Januar 2006 Aufträge für die Errichtung von insgesamt 215 MW aus Großbritannien erhalten.


Der Windpark Scout Moor entsteht rund 30 Kilometer nordöstlich von Manchester. Die Turbinenlieferung ist für November 2007 geplant, im Frühjahr 2008 sollen die Anlagen ans Netz gehen.



„Der Auftrag bestätigt unsere Strategie, insbesondere an windreichen Standorten, wie auf den britischen Inseln, auf Starkwindanlagen zu setzen. Mit der N80 können wir unseren Kunden eine der leistungsstärksten Serienanlagen bieten, die derzeit auf dem Markt verfügbar ist. Inzwischen sind von der Baureihe N80/N90 (2300 bzw. 2.500 kW) weltweit über 330 Anlagen im Einsatz. So umfangreich erprobt sind nur wenige Turbinen dieser Größenklasse“, so Carsten Pedersen, Vertriebsvorstand bei Nordex.

TEIL 2

18.12.2006, Pressemitteilung
Nordex zahlt Mitarbeitern Leistungsprämie

Hamburg, 18. Dezember 2006. Die Mitarbeiter der Nordex Gruppe erhalten als zusätzliches Bonbon zum Dezembergehalt eine Leistungsprämie in Höhe von jeweils 2.000 Euro. „Mit der Sonderzahlung wollen wir den hohen Einsatz unserer Mitarbeiter belohnen“, erläutert Thomas Richterich, Vorstandschef der Nordex AG, das unerwartete Weihnachtsgeschenk an die Belegschaft.


Mit Ausnahme des Vorstands und leitender Angestellter erhalten alle Arbeitnehmer von Nordex die Sonderprämie, die während der Restrukturierung in den zurückliegenden Jahren freiwillig auf Teile vom Lohn und Gehalt verzichtet und auf diesem Weg einen maßgeblichen Sanierungsbeitrag für das Unternehmen geleistet hatten. Die gestundeten Beiträge wurden bereits im Laufe des Jahres restlos zurückgezahlt.



Im Sommer hatte der Vorstand zudem eine Sonderprämie in Aussicht gestellt, wenn im Geschäftsjahr 2006 ein festgelegter Jahresgewinn erzielt wird. „Diese Sondergratifikation werden wir schon jetzt mit dem Gehalt für Dezember auszahlen. Wir haben unser gesetztes Ziel mit hoher Sicherheit erreicht“, so Richterich.



Für das Geschäftsjahr 2006 erwartet Nordex einen Umsatz von mehr als 500 Mio. Euro und ein Ergebnis von mindestens 15 Mio. Euro.

Euronext und NYSE
Euronext-Aktionäre für Fusion

Der geplante Zusammenschluss der europäischen Mehrländerbörse Euronext mit der New York Stock Exchange (Nyse) hat die entscheidende Hürde genommen. Auf einer außerordentlichen Hauptversammlung in Amsterdam stimmten am Dienstag 98,2 Prozent der anwesenden Aktionäre der Euronext für die Fusion zur ersten großen Börse mit Standbeinen in Europa und den USA. Beobachter hatten wegen der anhaltenden Kritik einflussreicher Anteilseigner an dem Projekt nicht mit einer so überwältigenden Mehrheit gerechnet. Die Aktionäre der Nyse treffen sich am Mittwoch in New York. Ihre Zustimmung zu dem Projekt gilt als sicher. Durch den Zusammenschluss der vom Finanzplatz Paris dominierten Euronext und der Nyse entsteht die mit Abstand größte Börse der Welt. Sie wird Standorte in New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Brüssel, Lissabon und London haben.

Euronext-Direktoriumschef Jan-Michiel Hessels sagte nach der Abstimmung, an der knapp 65 Prozent der stimberechtigten Anteilseigner teilnahmen: "Wir haben zusammen einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung unseres endgültigen Ziels gemacht." Ein Sprecher der Nyse begrüßte das Abstimmungsergebnis. Euronext-Chef Jean-Francois Theodore sagte, die beiden Firmen seien auch nach einer Fusion weiter offen für andere Börsen, insbesondere die Borsa Italiana in Mailand. Diese hatte sich vor einigen Monaten für eine Teilnahme an dem Bündnis interessiert, war dann aber wieder auf Abstand gegangen.

Die Vorstände von Euronext und Nyse hatten sich bereits im Sommer auf die Fusion, die de facto eine Übernahme der Euronext durch die Nyse darstellt, verständigt und eine Gegenofferte der Deutschen Börse über Monate hinweg abgelehnt. Das an die Aktienkurse der beiden Börsen gekoppelte Angebot der Nyse lag zuletzt bei 95,53 Euro je Euronext-Aktie inklusive einer Barkomponente von 21,32 Euro. Das Euronext-Papier kletterte am Dienstag um knapp 2,5 Prozent auf 92,60 Euro. An der Wall Street schaffte die Aktie der Nyse zur Eröffnung lediglich ein Plus von 0,5 Prozent auf 102 Dollar.

Noch in den vergangenen Tagen hatten zahlreiche Aktionäre der Euronext, darunter auch Hedgefonds, die Bedingungen des Zusammenschlusses kritisiert. Viele befürchteten, dass durch die Hintertür das strengere US-amerikanische Aktienrecht in Europa Anwendung finden könnte. Euronext und Nyse hatten dies immer wieder zurückgewiesen. Die Regulierungsbehörden in den USA und Europa haben der Fusion bereits zugestimmt. An jedem der nationalen Handelsplätze soll jeweils das nationale Kapitalmarktrecht gelten.

Euronext und Nyse rechnen laut Euronext-Chef Theodore durch den Zusammenschluss mit Einsparungen in Höhe von 375 Millionen Euro. Theodore wird nach Abschluss der Fusion stellvertretender Vorstandschef der neuen Börse werden. Der bisherige Nyse-Chef John Thain übernimmt die Führung des neuen Börsenkonzerns. Hessels wird oberster Aufseher (Chairman) von Nyse Euronext. Das Kontrollgremium (Board) wird aus 22 Mitgliedern bestehen, je elf von Euronext und Nyse.

Die entstehende transatlantische Megabörse wird ihr US-Hauptquartier in New York haben, in Europa teilen sich Paris und Amsterdam diese Funktion. London wird Zentrale des boomenden Derivategeschäfts. An der Themse betreibt die Euronext schon bisher die Derivatebörse Liffe. Die Nyse erhält nun Zugriff auf dieses lukrative Geschäftsfeld. Sie tritt damit in Konkurrenz zur Eurex, die von der Deutschen Börse und der Schweizer Börse SWX gemeinsam betrieben wird.

Die Deutsche Börse steht nach dem endgültigen Scheitern ihrer Bemühungen um die Euronext im Ringen um die Neuordnung der Börsenlandschaft nun alleine da. Sie will nach den Worten ihres Vorstandschefs Reto Francioni in Zukunft aus eigener Kraft wachsen und strebt im zukunftsträchtigen Derivatebereich neue Kooperationen an. Hier gelten Asien, Russland und Osteuropa als interessanteste Regionen. Francioni hatte bereits im November seine Bemühungen um die Euronext aufgegeben.

Die aus Euronext und Nyse entstehende Börse wird aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht lange die einzige transatlantische Börse bleiben. Die US-Computerbörse Nasdaq hat den Aktionären der Londoner Börse LSE, an der sie bereits knapp 30 Prozent hält, bis Mitte Januar eine Frist zur Annahme eines Übernahmeangebotes gegeben. Die LSE-Führung hatte in der Vergangenheit bereits mehrere Offerten der Amerikaner abgelehnt. Am Dienstag versprach LSE-Chefin Clara Furse ihren Aktionären im Abwehrkampf gegen die Nasdaq einen kräftigen Gewinnanstieg und eine höhere Dividende.

Sollte der Nasdaq dieses Mal die Übernahme der LSE gelingen, entstünde binnen kurzer Zeit die zweite Börse mit Standorten diesseits und jenseits des Atlantiks und zugleich eine sehr ernstzunehmende Konkurrenz für Euronext und Nyse. An einer aus LSE und Nasdaq kombinierten Börse würden die Aktien von mehr als 6400 Unternehmen gehandelt werden. Die Nasdaq ist derzeit nach der Nyse die Nummer zwei unter den US-Börsen, der Handelsplatz London liegt in Europa unangefochten an der Spitze.

Ich denke da auch an eine preiswerte Kursversorgung, Oderbuch Level2 Zugang und günstigere Transaktions Preise. An der neuen Mega-Börse wird nach Berechnungen von Branchenexperten täglich Aktien im Wert von 80 Mrd. Euro gehandelt.

Obwohl das z.B. bei Cortal Consors in Frankreich (auch andere CC Länder wie Spanien etc.) schon zum Deutschlandpreis in Paris ging. Übrigens die spanische BME (span. Börse) gilt schon länger als Übernahme- oder Fusionsziel für die Deutsche Börse.

Frankreich: Solar-Siliziumfabrik in Saint-Auban (Provence) geplant

Der französische Industrieminister François Loos äußerte sich zufrieden über den beabsichtigten Bau einer innovativen Silizium-Fabrik in der provencalischen Gemeinde Saint-Auban. Sie sei die weltweit erste Fabrik, in der ausschließlich Solar-Silizium hergestellt werden soll, heißt es in einer Pressemitteilung des französischen Wirtschaftsministeriums. Das Projekt soll von dem Unternehmen SILPRO durchgeführt werden, das rund 245 Millionen Euro investieren will. Einen großen Teil davon stellen die Forschungs- und Entwicklungskosten dar. Die Fabrik soll 250 Mitarbeiter beschäftigen und voraussichtlich 2008 in Betrieb genommen werden. Im Hinblick auf das weltweit starke Wachstum der Photovoltaik-Branche hat sich der französische Minister zugunsten einer schnellen und umfangreichen administrativen, technischen und finanziellen Unterstützung dieses Projektes ausgesprochen.

Neubewertung der Einspeisevergütung für Solarstrom und Steuergutschrift für den Einbau von Solarwärmeanlagen

Die französischen Forschungseinrichtungen und besonders das Französische Solarenergie-Institut (INES) in Chambéry seien gegenwärtig in Gesprächen mit den Wettbewerbsführern (Cap Energie und Tennerdis) und entwickelten Technologien, die den aus Solarzellen erzeugten Strom kontinuierlich konkurrenzfähiger machen sollen, heißt es im Bulletin Wissenschaft-Frankreich der französischen Botschaften in Deutschland und Österreich. Der französische Markt strebe nach einer schnellen Entwicklung, vor allem dank der Neubewertung der Einspeisevergütung für Solarstrom und der Steuergutschrift für den Einbau von Solaranlagen bei Privatkunden. "Ein solches Projekt wird zur Stärkung der Wirtschaft Frankreichs für die Zeit nach der Öl-Ära beitragen. Nach den im Gesetz vom 13. Juli 2005 festgelegten Orientierungen zur Förderung der erneuerbaren Energien, erleben wir gegenwärtig eine Wende im Solarenergie-Sektor2; unterstrich der Minister.

REpower erhält neue europäische Großaufträge von EDF EN

Hamburg (aktiencheck.de AG) - Der Windenergiekonzern REpower Systems AG (ISIN DE0006177033 (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs)/ WKN 617703) meldete am Mittwoch, dass er von der französischen EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN), einer Tochter des größten europäischen Energieversorgers Electricité de France (EDF) (ISIN FR0010242511 (Nachrichten/Aktienkurs)/ WKN A0HG6A), innerhalb des gemeinsamen Rahmenvertrags weitere Großaufträge in Europa erhalten hat.

Bei den Aufträgen handelt es sich um zwei Projekte in Großbritannien und eines in Frankreich, die insgesamt 46 Windenergieanlagen der 2 Megawatt (MW)-Klasse umfassen: 20 MM82 mit 40 MW Gesamtleistung sowie 26 Anlagen MM92 mit insgesamt 52 MW Leistung.

EDF Energies Nouvelles Moves into Biofuels: Signature of a Preliminary Agreement with Europe's Leading Ethanol Distributor
Regulatory News:

EDF Energies Nouvelles (Nachrichten) (Paris:EEN) has sealed a preliminary agreement with Alcofinance SA of Belgium. Upon completion of a reserved issue of shares for €23 million, EDF Energies Nouvelles will own 25% of a newly formed company housing Belgium-based Alcofinance's ethanol production and distribution activities. The agreement also provides for an option for EDF Energies Nouvelles to raise its interest to 50% within 24 months subject to certain pre-agreed conditions.

This transaction will enable EDF Energies Nouvelles to move into the biofuel segment and to capitalise on the know-how and experience of a European leader in the ethanol market that boasts a powerful sales and logistics network. This move dovetails with EDF EN's policy of expanding into new energy segments, alongside its core business of wind energy. It also fits with its strategy of investing in regulated markets offering the prospect of sufficient visibility and profitability.

The biofuels market is enjoying brisk expansion thanks to various tax subsidy mechanisms aiming to promote an alternative to the various forms of oil that dominate the transportation sector. It has been identified by EDF Energies Nouvelles as a source of growth harbouring synergies with biomass power.

EDF Energies Nouvelles will thus have all the various applications of biomass covered, i.e. electricity generation, heat production and biofuels.

This investment opens up bright prospects in second-generation biofuels, which are highly efficient from an environmental perspective and should enable EDF Energies Nouvelles to lay the foundations for it to pursue major ambitions in this segment. The agreement also provides for a research and development partnership with the EDF Group.

The construction of an initial ethanol fuel manufacturing facility in Gent, Belgium will represent the first concrete achievement under this partnership. This project, which is being developed by Alco Bio Fuel with a production capacity of 150,000 m³ p.a., will qualify for a tax exemption under the Belgian quota system covering a volume of 90,000 m³. The plant is expected to enter service in 2008.

HSBC acted as EDF EN's sole financial advisor on this deal.

The final agreement is due to be signed during the first half of 2007

EDF Energies Nouvelles Launches Construction of Its First Offshore Wind Farm as Part of The C-Power Consortium
Regulatory News:

Together with its C-Power partners, EDF Energies Nouvelles (Nachrichten) (Paris:EEN) is launching the first phase of construction of one of Europe's largest offshore wind energy projects, in which it owns a 20.8% interest. Located off Zeebrugge in Belgian waters, the future wind farm is ultimately likely to have 60 wind turbines with a maximum capacity of 300Â MW. This is EDF Energies Nouvelles' first offshore project and also the first to be built in Belgium.

With 30 MW in capacity, the first so-called “demonstration“ phase consists in installing six very high-power wind turbines (each with a capacity of 5 MW) by October 2008, 25 km off the coast on Thornton bank.

The cost of building the project represents an investment of €150 million, including the total development cost together with the bulk of the cost for the connexions needed for 60 turbines. Financing has been arranged with Dexia, the lead manager, and Rabobank, a Dutch banking group.

The project will be built under three turn-key contracts:

REpower, a turbine manufacturer, will supply the wind turbines and perform the operations and maintenance services,
Dredging International, the Vinci group's maritime construction subsidiary, will build the foundations,
the Dredging and Fabricom GTI consortium will supply and install the electrical equipment.
This project is owned by a group of companies, working together under the C-Power Belgian consortium in which EDF Energies Nouvelles has a 20.8% shareholding.

For EDF Energies Nouvelles, which envisages selectively establishing positions in offshore wind energy, the C-Power project boasts several favourable conditions, including risk shared between several partners, the possibility of a modest commitment over time and the supportive regime for offshore wind energy in Belgium.

Eventually, the final project is set to have 60 wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 5Â MW, with total capacity amounting to 300Â MW. Construction of the entire wind farm is set to take place over the period to 2011 or 2012.

This project is an opportunity for EDF Energies Nouvelles to participate in the achievement of one of the biggest European wind farm project and to acquire a know-how that could be useful for the development of other offshore wind farm projects in Europe.

Börsengang Iberdrola

Keine allzu heiße Luft
Von Pierre Briançon, breakingviews.com


Iberdrola will die Begeisterung der Investoren für Windanlagen und erneuerbare Energien ganz ausreizen. Die Preisspanne, die der spanische Versorger für den bevorstehenden Börsengang seiner Tochter Iberdrola Renovables festgesetzt hat, ist ehrgeizig und in einigen Punkten sogar erstaunlich. Doch im Vergleich zu den Branchenkollegen und angesichts der zuträglichen Dynamik der Branche ist die Bewertung nicht unverschämt.

Am unteren Ende beläuft sich die Spanne auf insgesamt 22 Mrd. Euro. Renovables würde damit einen Wert von drei Mill. Euro pro installiertem Megawatt (MW) erreichen und im Trend jüngster Branchentransaktionen liegen. Eon hatte im vergangenen Sommer den viel kleineren spanischen Konkurrenten Energi E2 Renovables Ibericas für rund 2,8 Mill. Euro pro MW gekauft. Und EDF Energies Nouvelles, die Tochter für alternative Energiequellen der französischen EDF, wird mit rund 3,3 Mill. Euro pro MW bewertet.

Andererseits würde Iberdrola Renovables am oberen Ende der Spanne von insgesamt 30 Mrd. Euro einen Wert von vier Mill. Euro pro MW erzielen. Und in solchen Höhen wird die Luft natürlich schon dünner. Das Management des spanischen Versorgers mag Hoffnung aus der Erstemission von EDF Energies Nouvelles von vor fast einem Jahr schöpfen. Ihr Aktienkurs ist seitdem um 90 Prozent nach oben geschossen und das Unternehmen wird derzeit mit einem verblüffenden 31fachen des Betriebsgewinns für 2008 gehandelt. Das entspricht einem Aufschlag um 50 Prozent gegenüber Google.

Die Finanzberater von Iberdola könnten argumentieren, dass der Bereich alternative Energien des spanischen Versorgers fünf Mal größer ist als der von EDF. Die Spanier sind zudem Weltmarktführer in einer Branche, die sich zuversichtlich auf langfristige Gewinne einstellen kann. Das rechtfertigt einen Aufschlag. Überdies ist die Begeisterung für die Windenergie gar nicht so irrational und übertrieben, wie das vielleicht auf den ersten Blick erscheinen mag. Der Rückzug aus Rohöl und die Bemühungen, die CO2-Emissionen zu verringern, werden von den Regierungen unterstützt. Eine EU-Richtlinie sieht zum Beispiel vor, dass bis zum Jahr 2020 etwa 20 Prozent der Energie in der EU aus erneuerbaren Quellen kommen muss. Die regulierten Preise wurden hoch genug angesetzt, um Investitionen und Wachstum zu fördern.

Für Windanlagen bestehen zudem von der Natur vorgegebene Einschränkungen: Es gibt eben nur eine begrenzte Anzahl von Klippen, auf die man eine Windmühle stellen kann. Hier haben Frühstarter einen entscheidenden Vorsprung. Wenn sich der Staub erst einmal legt und die natürlichen Eintrittstore zum Markt fest geschlossen sind, dann sehen die derzeitigen Bewertungen vielleicht gar nicht so übertrieben aus.

INDUSTRY ANNOUNCEMENT
EDF Energies Nouvelles Enters Strategic Partnership with California-Based Nanosolar
April 01, 2008
EDF Energies Nouvelles (Paris:EEN) announces the signing of a photovoltaic panel supply master agreement with Nanosolar and a $50 million investment in the company via EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties.

Silicon Valley based Nanosolar uses innovative technology to manufacture thin-film photovoltaic cells of Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide (CIGS) using a printing deposition process. Under the master supply agreement, EDF Energies Nouvelles will gain access from 2009 onwards to part of Nanosolar’s production of solar panels.

In a solar market in which cutting production cost represents a major challenge, EDF Energies Nouvelles is thus securing its supply of panels at competitive prices. These panels will in particular also help EDF Energies Nouvelles to expand its solar activities in North America.

In parallel to the signing of the panel supply agreement, the Group, through its EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties subsidiary, is also participating via a $50 million investment (€31 million) in an equity financing completed by Nanosolar to further accelerate the company’s production ramp.

Frankreich will Solarenergie ausbauen

Paris (bfai) - Frankreich zeigt neue Ansätze in der Solarenergie. Grundlegend ist das OSEO-Projekt Solar Nano Crystal, das Spitzentechnologie entwickeln und dem gesamten Photovoltaik-Markt neue Impulse verleihen soll. Das Unternehmen Silpro unter der Regie der SOL Holding markiert den Einstieg in die Silizium-Fertigung. EDF Energies Nouvelles will sich stärker engagieren, über Beteiligungen wie auch Großprojekte. Mangels Eigenproduktion eröffnet sich für die deutsche Photovoltaik-Branche über Jahre hinweg ein überaus interessanter Zielmarkt.(Internetadressen)OSEO startet größeres F&E-Projekt / Erstes Silizium-Werk in der Provence / Von Waldemar Duscha

Der Photovoltaik-Markt regt sich. Frankreich weiß um seinen hohen Rückstand gegenüber den südlichen Nachbarn Spanien und Italien, aber auch dem kaum sonnenverwöhnten Deutschland. Im Jahr 2007 gingen schätzungsweise maximal 40 bis 50 MW ans Netz gegenüber 1.100 MW in Deutschland. Die gesamte Photovoltaik-Kapazität hat sich damit zwar auf runde 80 MW verdoppelt, liegt aber weit hinter Deutschland zurück mit 3.800 MW (peak). Laut EDF Energies Nouvelles sollte Frankreich in den nächsten drei bis vier Jahren eine Gesamtkapazität von mindestens 2.000 MW ansteuern.

Stärker in der Photovoltaik engagieren will sich zukünftig OSEO, die für die Finanzierung und Förderung des KMU-Sektors zuständig ist. Im März 2008 wurde das F&E-Projekt Solar Nano Crystal ins Leben gerufen, das drei Ziele verfolgt: Entwicklung von Silizium mit Solarqualität, Erhöhung der Effizienz von Photovoltaik-Zellen und Entwicklung innovativer Module zur Steigerung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Solarenergie. Das Projekt vereint die Expertise aus Wirtschaft, Technik und Wissenschaft: Emix, Photosil, Silpro, PV Alliance (PhotoWatt Technologies, EDF Energies Nouvelles, CEA), Apollon Solar sowie das l'Institut national de l'énergie Solaire mit den Forschungsgruppen von CEA, CNRS, CSTB und der l'Université de Savoie.

Als Ergebnis soll eine signifikante Kostensenkung der Solarenergie herauskommen - dank bahnbrechender Innovationen, die in einer Pilotanlage namens LabFab getestet werden. Das Projekt steht im Rahmen des Anfang 2008 beschlossenen Programms "Innovation stratégique industrielle", das gleichzeitig die ehemalige Agence de l'innovation industrielle in OSEO integrierte. Das F&E-Budget ist mit 190 Mio. Euro programmiert, davon 46,5 Mio. Euro aus der Staatskasse als Zuschuss und Darlehen - vorbehaltlich der Zustimmung Brüssels.

Die 2006 eingeführten finanziellen Anreize des Staates sind zukunftsweisend und fundamental. Für Solarstrom aus Freiland- und Dachanlagen wurde der Fördertarif nahezu verdoppelt. Die Einspeise-Vergütung für Strom aus gebäudeintegrierten Photovoltaik-Anlagen wurde auf 550 Euro pro MWh angehoben. Die Ankaufverpflichtung von EDF wurde allerdings begrenzt auf eine Kapazität von 160 MW im Jahr 2010. Private Haushalte genießen seit 2006 einen Steuerkredit, der die Abschreibung von 50% der Ausrüstungskosten erlaubt. Bei solarthermischen Großanlagen erstattet die Regierung auf Antrag bis zu 80% der Investitionskosten.

Angesichts der geringen Marktdynamik ist die Produktionsseite bisher rudimentär entwickelt. Der französische Champion heißt seit gut zwei Jahrzehnten Photowatt. Die einzige Anlage mit einer Produktionskapazität von 60 MW ist zu 100% ausgelastet, der Großteil geht in den Export. Der zweite Akteur ist Tenesol, eine Tochter von EDF und Total, die aber lediglich die Paneele für importierte Solarzellen produziert.

Generell betätigt sich EDF Energies Nouvelles immer intensiver im Geschäft und verteilt Photovoltaik-Ausrüstungen in Frankreich wie auch in Spanien, Italien und Griechenland. In diesem Rahmen wurden Beteiligungen an Fotosolar in Spanien, RETD in Griechenland und Photon Power Technologies in Frankreich erworben. Gegenüber der Wirtschaftszeitung "Les Echos" konstatierte Unternehmenschef David Corchia die prinzipielle Bereitschaft zur Beteiligung an einem größeren Investitionsprojekt zwischen 50 Mio. bis 200 Mio. Euro, wobei der Kapitaleinsatz von der jeweiligen Technologie abhänge.
Ein Meilenstein ist das Silizium-Werk Silpro (Silicium de Provence). Mehrheitsaktionär ist die SOL Holding, ein Joint Venture aus der niederländischen Econcern (52%) und SOLON (48%), die Partner sind Norsun und Photon Power Technologies. Silpro soll nach zwei Jahren Bauzeit 2010 betriebsbereit sein. Die Investitionskosten betragen rund 500 Mio. Euro für eine Kapazität von jährlich 3.000 bis 4.000 t Silizium. Laut EDF könnte die Kapazität auf 8.000 t verdoppelt werden, ausreichend für die Produktion von 800 MW Photovoltaik-Paneelen pro Jahr.

Stärker engagieren will sich der auf Luftfracht und Distribution (Kfz, Nahrungsmittel) ausgerichtete Groupe Dubreuil aus der Vendée. Dubreuil hatte 2007 das Photovoltaik-Unternehmen Solargie übernommen sowie 2008 eine Beteiligung von 40% an Les Energies Nouvelles aus La Rochelle, die auf Photovoltaik, Solar- und Geothermie spezialisiert ist. Parallel wurde die Gesellschaft Solinvest gegründet, die die eigenen Anlagen mit Solarpaneelen überdachen wird. Alle zusammen wurden unter einer Holding namens Groupe Dubreuil Energies Nouvelles (GDEN) zusammengefasst, die 2008 einen Umsatz von 12 Mio. Euro ansteuert.

Einen Großauftrag sicherte sich Urbasolar bei FM Logistic, einem führenden französischen Logistikanbieter. Das für die Großmarktkette Carrefour bestimmte Distributionszentrum wird eine Bedachung von 54.000 qm Solarmembranen mit einer Kapazität von 1,4 MW und einer Jahresleistung von 1,6 MWh erhalten, was dem Stromverbrauch von 500 Haushalten entspräche. Die Technologie stammt von Sika Sarnafil und Solar Integrated.

Ein Vorzeigeprojekt besonderer Art ist die Sonnenkühlung des Haribo-Museums in Uzès in Südfrankreich. Das Berliner Unternehmen PHÖNIX SonnenWärme realisierte hier 2007 mit der Tochter SK SonnenKlima eine Solarthermie-Anlage, die mit einer Absorptionskältemaschine gekoppelt ist. Finanziert wurde das PPP-Projekt (public private partnership) von PHÖNIX und dem deutschen Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie.

Nach Schätzungen der Société Générale belief sich der Weltmarkt in der Solarenergie 2007 auf 12 Mrd. Euro. Spitzenreiter war Deutschland mit 33%, danach folgten Japan (23%) und die USA (5%) sowie der Rest der Welt (39%). Nach Produktionszweigen entfielen die größten Teile auf Paneelen (45%) und Solarzellen (37%) vor Wafern (11%) und Silizium (7%).

” EDF Energies Nouvelles has posted further brisk growth over the first nine months of the year.

The current financial crisis has affected the depth of the financing markets on both sides of the Atlantic. It is taking longer to arrange financing, and bank margins have increased. Against this backdrop, our geographical diversification, our financial strength-enhanced by our recent capital increase-, EDF's support and, above all, the low-risk profile of our business together with the quality of our projects are strengths that have enabled us to maintain access to bank loans on reasonable terms and conditions.

We are reiterating our 2008 EBITDA target of at least €200 million and our net capacity target of over 4,000 MW by year-end 2012.“

turbines at the Difwind 7, enXco 5 and Patterson Pass wind farms.

Since the beginning of the year, EDF Energies Nouvelles has commissioned 387 MW in capacity, principally in Portugal, France, Greece and the United Kingdom.

In addition, 1,247MW in wind energy and 22 MW in solar capacity were under construction at 30 September 2008. Most of these facilities will be commissioned during the fourth quarter of 2008 (France, United States, Italy and Portugal) or during 2009.

BREAKDOWN OF REVENUES BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Revenues in Europe grew by 160.7% to €305.0 million. Excluding EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties, they increased by 65.6%.

The Generation business posted an increase of 29.3% to €121.7 million (up 32.2% at constant exchange rates).

Revenues from the Development and Sale of Structured Assets business rose to €69.5 million from €22.5 million one year earlier owing to the sale of the Puente de Genave solar farm in Spain and the Fonds de la Plaine wind farm in France.

Revenues in the Americas grew by 94.5% to €323.6 million. At constant exchange rates, revenues rose by 122.4%.

The Generation business expanded by 10.1% to €39.1 million and by 25.9% at constant exchange rates.

Revenues from the Development and Sale of Structured Assets business advanced by 120.2% to €272.6 million.

BREAKDOWN OF REVENUES BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Revenues from the Generation business posted an increase of 24.1% (up 30.5% at constant exchange rates) in spite of poor wind conditions since April. Wind energy generation, which moved up 27.7% (up 36.6% at constant exchange rates), continued to expand at a brisk pace owing to the commissioning of new wind farms, notably in Portugal with the entry into service of the first three tranches of the Ventominho (208 MW) facility and with the commissioning of the Villeseque (50.6 MW) wind farm in France. The Group's performance was also boosted by the full-year contribution of the wind farms commissioned in late 2007, notably the Fenton (205.5 MW) facility in the United States.

Revenues from the Operations&Maintenance business grew by 93.3% to €14.5 million. This increase reflects the momentum of the business in the United States where enXco signed contracts covering 868 MW in capacity during 2007 and has also just announced the signature of four new contracts covering 981 MW in capacity.

Revenues from the Development and Sale of Structured Assets business surged from €146.2 million in the first nine months of 2007 to €342.1 million in the equivalent period of 2008, €273.3 million of which was recorded during the third quarter alone. This growth is mainly related to the revenue recognition based on the percentage of completion of two major wind farms in the United States: Grand Meadows (100.5 MW) and Walnut (153 MW). Both of these wind farms are due to be commissioned by the end of the year.

Revenues from the Distributed Energies business totalled €111.1 million. Tenesol contributed €60.6 million, while Supra generated €43.0 million.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE THIRD QUARTER

* EDF Energies Nouvelles successfully raised €500 million through a capital increase during September 2008. These funds were raised to finance the Group's expansion in solar photovoltaic, particularly the construction of ground-based and roof-based facilities, as well as the development of EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties, a subsidiary intended, among other tasks, to hold the Group's stakes in the upstream solar segment.
* EDF Energies Nouvelles has continued its strategy of securing photovoltaic panels by signing an order for a further 75 MWp in capacity from First Solar. This new order has increased to 367 MWp the total volume of panels ordered from First Solar for the 2007-2012 period.
* enXco, the Group's US subsidiary, has signed four new operations&maintenance agreements covering 981 MW in capacity. All in all, enXco now manages 4,532 turbines under operations&maintenance contracts, representing a total of 3,186 MW.
* EDF Energies Nouvelles has announced the signature of a further agreement with MidAmerican Energy covering a 52.5 MW extension to the Walnut wind farm (100.5 MW), currently under construction in Iowa. The wind farm is due to be delivered in its entirety (153 MW) in late 2008. Construction of this extension is facilitated by the purchase of 130 MW in GE turbines from a third party. These turbines will complement those already ordered directly by the Group from GE, which are due for delivery in 2008.

OUTLOOK

EDF Energies Nouvelles reiterates its target of at least €200 million in EBITDA in 2008.

The Group also confirms that it is on track to meet its net installed capacity target of 4,000 MW by year-end 2012, including 500 MWp in solar photovoltaic capacity.

EDF Energies Nouvelles Opens France's Largest Solar Power Plant

Regulatory News:

EDF Energies Nouvelles (News) (Paris:EEN) has announced the commissioning and official opening of the La Narbonnaise photovoltaic solar power plant in the Aude region of France. With capacity of 7 MWp, this solar farm - built in 2008 - is the largest solar power plant currently in operation in mainland France.

The photovoltaic power plant was officially opened on 18 December 2008 by Pâris Mouratoglou, Chairman of EDF Energies Nouvelles in the presence of Bernard Lemaire, Préfet of the Aude region, Yves Piétrasanta, Vice-Chairman of the Languedoc-Roussillon regional authority, and Jacques Bascou, Deputy Mayor of Narbonne and Chairman of the Narbonne local community authority.

Built on land owned by the Narbonne local community authority, the solar farm is located on industrial wasteland in the commune of Narbonne.

With capacity of 7 MWp, it will provide the electric grid with the equivalent of annual electricity consumption of over 4,200 people and prevent the emission of 2,752 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. This capacity should be regarded in relation to the current installed capacity of 54 MWp supplying the French national grid1.

The power plant has 95,000 new generation modules using thin film technology, the alternative to conventional solar panels made from silicon. These modules were supplied by US company First Solar.

Pâris Mouratoglou, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EDF Energies Nouvelles, comments: "Solar energy has become one of our priorities. The La Narbonnaise power plant is an example of our mastery of innovative technology on a large scale. We would like to be able to set up power stations in regions other than in the very south of France, to allow the country to catch up with other markets and establish itself as a major solar energy market, generating investment, innovation and jobs".

Photovoltaic solar energy has become EDF Energies Nouvelles' second most important area for growth after wind energy. The company has set itself the target of capacity of at least 500 MWp by 2012. At the end of June 2008, EDF EN had 22.6 MWp in service or under construction and over 1,550 MWp at different stages of development in France and a number of other countries.

Generation revenues moved up 30.9% to €228.5 million, keeping up the trend set in 2007. At constant exchange rates, revenues rose by 35.1%. This growth is attributable to the increase in wind energy generation (up 35.4%), which was boosted by the facilities commissioned in 2008 and the full-year contribution made by wind farms commissioned in 2007. The wind farms that entered service in 2008, mostly towards the end of the year, will have a major impact in 2009.

Operations&Maintenance revenues went up from €11 million in 2007 to €24 million in 2008 as a result of the signing of numerous contracts in the United States (representing 2,139 MW), where enXco, the Group’s US subsidiary, has extended its leadership in third-party operations&maintenance services.

Development and sale of structured asset (DSSA) revenues recorded an increase of 51.8% to €569.1 million owing chiefly to the delivery of the Walnut (153 MW) and Grand Meadows (100.5 MW) projects in the United States. This growth was also powered by a healthy level of business in Europe, notably including the first sales of solar farms.

Distributed Energies1 revenues came to €185 million. The chief contributors were Supra (€66.1 million) and Tenesol (€95.8 million). Revenues from the sale of distributed energy solutions, which stood at near €1 million at the end of the first half, reached €20.5 million at year-end 2008, confirming the success of the photovoltaic offerings for the residential market.

EBITDA2.

The Group’s EBITDA totalled €215.9 million, up 60.8% compared with 2007.

* In Europe, EBITDA moved up 129.2% to €151.5 million. All the Group’s business lines contributed to this increase. The Generation business was underpinned by the new facilities commissioned in 2008, in particular those in Portugal (332 MW), France (197 MW), Italy (75 MW), the United Kingdom (40 MW) and Greece (38 MW), and by the full-year impact of plants commissioned in 2007. DSSA also increased, particularly with the initial transactions in the solar photovoltaic segment. Lastly, EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties provided an additional contribution, albeit a modest one by comparison with the Group’s overall performance, since this business is still at the start-up phase.
* In North America, EBITDA was stable in dollar terms. The full-year impact of the commissioning of the Fenton wind farm (205 MW gross) and the first-class performance of the Operations&Maintenance business offset the smaller contribution to regional earnings posted by DSSA projects than in the previous year (negative impact of the Goodnoe project in the north-western US). Translated into euros, EBITDA declined from €68.2 million to €64.4 million in 2008, representing a slight decline of 5.6% owing to depreciation in the US dollar.

Operating income surged from €95.5 million to 158.6 million, representing an increase of 66.1%. Depreciation and amortization, which moved up 47.3% to €57.3 million, kept pace with the commissioning of new facilities.

Net financial expense worked out at €42.6 million, up from €24.6 million in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the rise in debt deriving from the facilities the Group commissioned during 2007 and 2008.

Income tax expense soared from €18.4 million to €37.1 million. The effective tax rate reached 32% in 2008, compared with 26% in 2007. This increase was the result of a carry-back transaction in the United States relating to the 2006 and 2007 financial years, which has enabled the Group to secure the repayment of more than $20 million in tax, but increased the effective tax rate by deferring use of the tax credits (PTC)3 for the past three years until 2009.

Net income, Group share moved up 35.4% to €69.6 million, providing further evidence of the increase in the Group’s profitability following the rebound recorded in 2007 (up 135%).

1 The Distributed Energies business encompasses EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties and its subsidiaries, which were consolidated for the first time from 1 January 2008.

2 EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortisation, investment grants and impairment losses.

3 The use of tax credits automatically reduces the effective tax rate.

CASH FLOW

Operating cash flow recorded during the financial year amounted to €192.9 million, up 52.2% compared with 2007.

The working capital requirement grew by €199 million. Factors contributing to this increase included mainly the build-up of an inventory of solar photovoltaic panels as this business ramped up and sales of assets completed towards the end of the year, for which payment was not received by 31 December 2008.

As predicted, capital expenditure posted a steep increase, moving up from €523.2 million in 2007 to €1,069.5 million in 2008. It included €101.9 million in investments in subsidiaries and affiliates (mainly Nanosolar, Polat Enegy and Tenesol) and €967.6 million with more than 95 % corresponding to spending on additional wind and solar energy generating capacity, thereby maintaining the brisk pace of commissioning in wind energy and the faster rate of development in the solar photovoltaic segment.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

At 31 December 2008, consolidated shareholders’ equity stood at €1,491 million, compared with €757.3 million at 31 December 2007, owing notably to the €500 million capital increase completed in September 2008.

The Group’s net debt came to €1,265.3 million compared with €646.2 million one year earlier, reflecting the numerous facilities commissioned in 2008, which will power earnings growth during 2009.

DIVIDENDS

The Board of Directors will propose paying a dividend of €0.27 per share in respect of the 2008 financial year at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, which represents 30.1% of net income, Group share, in line with the payout ratios seen in 2006 and 2007. The dividend will be paid on 15 June 2009.

OUTLOOK

At 31 December 2008, net capacity installed or under construction amounted to 2,152.1 MW. The Group is on track to meet the goals in its business development plan and has reiterated its target of attaining 4,000 MW in net capacity, including 500 MWp in solar photovoltaic capacity by year-end 2012.

The Group expects to post EBITDA of between €280 million and €300 million in 2009. This estimation is built on the basis of an average exchange rate of $1.35 for the euro.

New York, NY, USA: LIPA to Move Forward with 50 Megawatts in Two Photovoltaic Contracts

New York utility, Long Island Power Authority is to move forward with the largest solar energy project in New York State history on Long Island, increasing the State’s total solar energy production threefold.

Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) has declared the results of a competitive procurement marking the selection of BP Solar to provide 36.9 MW of solar energy, which would be hosted on the federal property of Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL).

BP Solar is proposing two large-scale commercial solar photovoltaic projects at the Brookhaven National Laboratory: “BNL Area 1” (a project sized at 18.7 MW) and “BNL Area 2” (a project sized at 18.2 MW).

In addition to the 36.9 MW, BP Solar will work independently with BNL to construct additional solar panels to help the Laboratory become more energy efficient and independent, and will partner with BNL in developing a solar photovoltaic R&D facility that will be used for research, education and outreach. This component adds another unique dimension to the project as it will help to advance the next wave of improved solar photovoltaic technology. This would include the testing of modules with different types of solar cells, glass encasements and wiring arrangements that could also yield information to support research on various battery and storage technologies.

Additionally, enXco will supply 13.1 MW of solar energy from facilities constructed and operated on municipal, school and private properties across Long Island.

LIPA will start negotiations with both developers for 50 MW of solar photovoltaic energy through a power purchase agreement (PPA) for terms of 20 years with contracted deliveries to begin between June 1, 2009 and May 1, 2011. The solar energy will be produced by the selected developers of the solar photovoltaic systems and will be introduced onto the LIPA grid and purchased by LIPA.

Kevin S. Law, President and CEO of LIPA, said: “I commend Governor Paterson for challenging LIPA to find ways to harness the power of the sun. This project will diversify Long Island’s energy portfolio, strengthen the local economy, transform the solar photovoltaic marketplace and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.”

The 50 megawatt project would provide enough power to sustain more than 6,500 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20,000 tons per year. The solar project is consistent with Governor Paterson’s recently announced “45 by 15” program, which establishes the goal for the State to meet 45 percent of its electricity needs through improved energy efficiency and renewable sources by the year 2015. A statewide focus on solar energy was also a core recommendation of Governor Paterson’s Renewable Energy Task Force in February 2008.

“This project is not only the largest of its kind in State history, it is also one of the first of its kind in our nation, proving once again that New York is at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution,” said Governor Paterson.

“As I outlined in my State of the State address, our ‘45 by 15’ program is one of the most ambitious clean energy goals in the country, and we estimate that it will create 50,000 new jobs in New York.”

To support and encourage the LIPA solar initiative, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will provide LIPA with $15 million and will continue to work with LIPA to identify other funds that may be eligible for use by LIPA to support the project.

Francis J. Murray, Jr., President and CEO of NYSERDA, said: “Solar technology will help meet Long Island’s growing demand for electricity, while reducing our dependence on foreign sources of oil. This investment is a critical component of Governor Paterson’s 45 by 15 initiative – meeting 45 percent of the State’s electricity requirements through a combination of energy efficiency and renewable sources by the year 2015.”

Julia Hamm, Executive Director of the Solar Electric Power Association, said: “LIPA’s plan to purchase 50 MW of solar electricity is substantial. To put it in perspective, as of the end of 2007, only three electric utilities in the U.S. had 30 or more megawatts of solar electricity on their grid. Utilities across the U.S. are beginning to realize the importance of solar energy to their future energy mix, and LIPA is right there at the forefront.”

In wind energy, EDF Energies Nouvelles commissioned the 150 MW Shiloh II facility in the United States during the first quarter. In Europe, the final tranche of the Arada wind farm, with 112 MW in total capacity, was brought into service. The Group also commissioned 10 MW in Belgium as part of its offshore project developed by C-Power. At 31 March 2009, gross wind energy capacity under construction stood at 793.8 MW (541 MW net).

In solar energy, the commissioning of new facilities continued, mainly in Italy and the United States. Total installed capacity now stands at 26.5 MW. Close to 45 MW gross was under construction at 31 March 2009 (36.5 MW net).

All segments combined, capacity installed or under construction at 31 March 2009 stood at 3,307.9 MW gross (2,258.1 MW net).

BREAKDOWN OF REVENUES BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Revenues in Europe recorded a 62.9% increase to €149.2 million. This growth was attributable to the strong increase in wind-generated electricity (up 39.1%) owing to the full-year impact of the numerous facilities commissioned in 2008. The Development and Sale of Structured Assets business also contributed to growth in the region, with revenues reaching €47.7 million.

Revenues in the Americas grew by 73.2% to €82.6 million. This strong growth is the product of brisk expansion in the Generation business (74.2%), which was boosted by newly commissioned plants, notably including the Wapsi North and Shiloh II wind farms. It was also attributable to the firm performance of the Development and Sale of Structured Assets business, which grew by 69.7% with revenues reaching €60.6 million.

BREAKDOWN OF REVENUES BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Generation business recorded revenues of €73.2 million, up 29.6% compared with the first quarter of 2008. In spite of the poor wind conditions in the United Kingdom and in Italy, wind and solar generated electricity advanced by 49.1% owing to the numerous facilities commissioned in 2008 during the first quarter of 2009. Separately, the Group’s longstanding thermal and hydro generation businesses recorded a steep decline in their revenues. This downturn was attributable to the combined effect of very poor hydro conditions in Bulgaria, a scope of consolidation effect linked to the end of a contract for a cogeneration facility and a slowdown in generation owing to large-scale industrial action strike affecting operations in the French Antilles.

Revenues from the Operations&Maintenance business doubled to €8.4 million. This strong performance was chiefly attributable to the United States, where business was particularly upbeat in 2008, with 19 new contracts signed for 2,139 MW in capacity.

Revenues from the Development and Sale of Structured Assets business advanced by 108.3% to €108.3 million. The pace of growth in this business remained brisk both in Europe, with the completion and disposal of the Fierville (28 MW) facility in France, and in the United States with the development and sale of part of the Spearville II project in Kansas. As indicated when the Group’s 2008 full-year results were published, the continued expansion in this business during 2009 depends on buyers’ ability to secure financing on acceptable terms, excluding operations already benefiting from firm commitments.

Revenues from the Distributed energies business moved up 57.5% to €41.9 million. EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties and Tenesol each contributed €12.8 million to revenues. Supra’s contribution totalled €11.5 million. The remainder was generated by Ribo and PPT.

OTHER FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

* During March 2009, EDF Energies Nouvelles signed an agreement with Canadian renewable energies group SkyPower Corp. for the supply of 180 GE wind turbines during 2009 with capacity totalling 270 MW. Under this agreement, the Group is set to acquire equipment on favourable terms, which will help to secure its supply for its own account and for third-party projects during 2009, 2010 and 2011.
* Silicium de Provence (SilPro), a company in which EDF Energies Nouvelles holds a 12.8% shareholding, faced significant funding problems, which obliged it to apply for administration on 7 April 2009. The commitments made by EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties3 to the SilPro project amount to €19 million.

OUTLOOK

EDF Energies Nouvelles has reiterated its target of posting EBITDA of between €280 million and €300 million in 20094.

PROJECTS COMMISSIONED

During the first half of 2009, EDF Energies Nouvelles commissioned 6.8 MWp in gross capacity (6.1 MWp net) mostly in Italy and the United States.

First major roof-array project completed

In Italy, eight ground-based plants each with around 1 MWp in capacity were commissioned, while in the United States the Group commissioned its first major roof-array project (1.8 MWp) on warehouses in New Jersey.

At 30 June 2009, the Group thus had 27.6 MWp in service, including 19.0 MWp held for its own account.

As part of its DSSA activities, EDF Energies Nouvelles also built and commissioned 1.9 MWp in projects sold to third parties.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

With construction of 93 MWp started during the first half of 2009, EDF Energies Nouvelles had 116 MWp in gross capacity under construction at 30 June 2009, compared with 29.2 MWp at year-end 2008.

Large-scale ground-based power plants

The greater part of these projects consists of large-scale ground-based plants located in France, Spain and Canada, most are due to be commissioned by the end of the first quarter of 2010.

* In France, the Group launched the construction of the first two phases of the Gabardan photovoltaic facility (26 MWp) in the Landes region. This power plant may ultimately reach 76 MWp in total capacity, making it the largest solar facility in Europe. In the Alpes de Haute Provence region, the Group launched the construction of two facilities in Sainte Tulle (5.2 MWp) and Manosque (4.1 MWp). On Reunion Island, work has been initiated on the Mangassaye power plant (5.1 MWp for third party) while the construction of La Roseraye (10.5 MWp for own account) is going on.
* In Spain, the construction of Casatejada (11.1 MWp) project has been launched.
* In Canada, the Group started the construction of two large-scale power plants (Arnprior) with 23.4 MWp in total capacity.

The other projects under construction represent small capacity ground-based facilities in Italy (around 9 MWp) and roof-array projects in France (8.5 MWp).

EDF Energies Nouvelles’ expansion momentum in the photovoltaic segment is in line with the Group’s target of achieving 500 MWp in net installed capacity by year-end 2012.

EDF Energies Nouvelles und First Solar errichten Frankreichs größte Produktionsstätte für Solarmodule

EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN) und First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) planen gemeinsam Frankreichs größte Fertigungsstätte für Solarmodule zu bauen. Mit einer jährlichen Kapazität von über 100MWp werden in der Fabrik künftig Solarmodule mit der von First Solar entwickelten, hochmodernen Dünnschicht-Fotovoltaik Technologie produziert. Erst vor kurzem hatte die Französische Regierung erklärt, eine Vorreiterrolle bei nachhaltigen Energietechnologien einnehmen zu wollen, auch im Bereich Solarstrom. Der Bau des Werkes unterstützt dabei die Ziele der Regierung und wird mit der für das zweite Halbjahr 2011 erwarteten vollen Produktionsauslastung mehr als 300 Arbeitsplätze bieten.

Die Vereinbarung sieht vor, dass First Solar die Fertigungsstätte in Frankreich errichten und betreiben wird. Das Investitionsvolumen für die neue Fabrik beträgt mehr als 90 Millionen Euro. Mit einer anfänglich jährlichen Produktionskapazität von 100MWp wird First Solar künftig das größte Werk zur Herstellung von Solarmodulen in Frankreich betreiben. EDF Energies Nouvelles hat zugestimmt, die Hälfte des notwendigen Kapitals beizusteuern und die Anlaufkosten der Fertigung zu tragen. Im Gegenzug wird EDF Energies Nouvelles die komplette Produktionsmenge in den ersten zehn Jahren abnehmen. First Solar und EDF EN beabsichtigen den künftigen Produktionsstandort im Laufe der nächsten Monate bekannt zu geben.

Die Investitionsentscheidung wurde im Beisein des Französischen Ministers für nachhaltige Entwicklung, Jean-Louis Borloo, bekannt gegeben. „Ich begrüße die Entscheidung von EDF Energies Nouvelles und First Solar, in den französischen Solar Sektor zu investieren und damit auch Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen. Seit der Grenelle de l’Environnement hat sich dieser Markt rasant entwickelt”, sagt Borloo. „Diese Investition ist ein Wendepunkt für die Fotovoltaik Industrie und beweist, dass sich Frankreich mehr denn je in der richtigen Position befindet, um weltweit eine führende Rolle einzunehmen”, sagt er.

Pâris Mouratoglou, Chairman of the Board von EDF Energies Nouvelles, sagt: „Dieses Abkommen ist ein strategischer Meilenstein unseres Konzerns und bekräftigt unsere Ambitionen künftig weltweit führend im Bereich Solarenergie zu werden.” Das Unternehmen hat im vergangenen Jahr erfolgreich 500 Millionen Euro an Kapital aufgebracht, um seine Expansion im Fotovoltaik-Sektor voranzutreiben. EDF EN hat sich selbst zum Ziel gesetzt bis zum Jahr 2012 eine PV-Stromerzeugungskapazität von 500MWp zu installieren. „Um in Frankreich zu der Entwicklung eines großen Solar-Marktes beitragen zu können, müssen wir eine wettbewerbsfähige Versorgung sicherstellen”, so Mouratoglou.

„Wir haben bereits einige erfolgreiche Projekte mit First Solar Modulen verwirklicht. Die jetzt getroffene strategische Vereinbarung ist das Ergebnis eines vertrauensvollen Verhältnisses und birgt für beide Unternehmen neues, vielversprechendes Potenzial”, so Mouratoglou.

Mike Ahearn, Chairman und Chief Executive Officer von First Solar: „Die Investitionsentscheidung zugunsten Frankreichs zeigt einmal mehr das große Potenzial des Landes im Bereich Solarenergie. Wir glauben fest an den Erfolg des Projektes und vertrauen in die von der französischen Regierung geschaffenen Voraussetzungen. Im Zuge der Grenelle de l’Environnement wurden Rahmenbedingungen gesetzt, um erneuerbare Energien zu fördern und Solarstrom gegenüber konventionell gewonnenen Strom wettbewerbsfähig zu machen.”

„Mit dieser Entscheidung von First Solar und EDF EN setzen wir ein Zeichen unseres gemeinsamen Einsatzes und Engagements für die Zukunft des Solarstroms”, so Ahearn. „Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy setzt auf langfristige Rahmenbedingungen, um eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung der Zukunft sicherzustellen - sowohl für Frankreich als auch für andere Teile der Welt. All jene Länder, welche die notwendigen Marktbedingungen schaffen, um Solar- und andere erneuerbare Energien wettbewerbsfähig zu machen, werden den größten langfristigen Nutzen erzielen, nämlich höhere Investitionen aus dem privaten Sektor, technologische Innovationen und die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen. Die Hauptgründe, dass First Solar sich entschieden hat in Frankreich zu investieren, sind einmal die langfristigen Verpflichtungen der französischen Regierung um Rahmenbedingungen für einen stabilen Solar-Markt zu schaffen. Der zweite Hauptgrund ist EDF EN’s Einsatz um den französischen Markt zu fördern und ihn weiterzuentwickeln”, sagt Ahearn.

Die First Solar Produktionsstätte wird auch eine Anlage zum Recyceln von Solarpanelen beinhalten. Es wird Frankreichs erste Anlage dieser Art sein und in Europa die einzige Recyclinganlage für Solarpanele außerhalb Deutschlands.

Wind energy

During the first six months of the year, EDF Energies Nouvelles’ wind energy capacity increased by 271 MW gross and by 177 MW net. The plants commissioned include the Fiennes (11.5 MW) and Sauveterre (12 MW) wind farms in France, the Minervino (32 MW) facility in Italy, the final tranche of the Arada (20 MW) wind farm in Portugal, the Viotia 2 (20 MW) wind farm in Greece, the first tranche of the C-Power (30 MW) wind farm in Belgium and the Shiloh 2 (150 MW) wind farm in the United States.

In addition, the Group had 890 MW in gross (590 MW net) capacity under construction at 30 June 2009.

Solar

During the first half of 2009, EDF Energies Nouvelles commissioned 6.8 MWp in gross (6.1 MWp net) solar photovoltaic capacity, primarily in Italy and the United States. At the same time, construction of 93 MWp in new solar capacity was launched principally in France, Spain and Canada. At 30 June 2009, the Group had a total of 144 MWp in gross solar capacity in service or under construction, compared with 50 MWp gross at year-end 2008. The dynamism of the solar segment has already enabled EDF Energies Nouvelles to achieve its objective of 100 MWp to 150 MWp in service or under construction, which was originally set for 31 December 2009.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

* Development and sale of structured assets

** Comprises the activities of EDF Energies Nouvelles Réparties

The Generation business posted revenues of €156.9 million, up 38.7% compared with the first half of 2008. This growth was driven by the dynamism of the wind energy business which recorded a very steep increase of over 50% during the first six months of the year, notwithstanding very poor wind conditions, especially in the second quarter. This increase was attributable to the full-year impact of the 813 MW increase in gross capacity (517 MW net) during 2008, mainly in France, Portugal and the United States and the 272 MW increase (177 MW net) in gross capacity during the first half of 2009.

The solar and biomass businesses also contributed to a lesser extent to the growth in generation revenues, while the thermal business was affected by the strikes in the French Antilles at the beginning of the year.

Hydro generation remained stable compared with the first half of 2008, with hydro conditions again relatively weak.

Operations&Maintenance revenues rose by 110%, again benefiting from the contracts signed in 2008 in the United States covering 2,139 MW. During the first half of 2009, six new operations& maintenance contracts covering 369 MW in capacity were signed by enXco in the United States. The business posted revenues of €19.1 million during the six months to 30 June 2009.

Revenues from the Development and sale of structured assets (DSSA) business moved up 17.6% to €142.1 million. Most of the revenues from this business reflected the completion and sale of the Fierville project (28 MW) in Europe and the sale of part of the Spearville 2 project (48 MW) in the United States.

Revenues from this business also include a portion of the revenues from the Crane Creek (99 MW) project, recognised on a percentage-of-completion basis.

The Distributed Energies business recorded revenues of €95.7 million, up 43.7% compared with the first half of 2008. Trends varied across subsidiaries: while sales of solar systems to individuals enjoyed very strong growth with revenues up €37.9 million compared with the first half of 2008 (EDF ENR SA+Photon Technologies), Tenesol recorded revenues of €31 million in the first six months of 2009 compared with €41 million in the first half of 2008.

EBITDA1.

The Group’s EBITDA moved up from €85.2 million in the first half of 2008 to €140.2 million in the first half of 2009, representing an increase of 64.6%.

* In Europe, EBITDA surged 47.9% to €100.3 million. The Generation business made a significant contribution to this increase owing to the positive impact of the plants commissioned during 2008 and the first half of 2009. In addition, the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Monte Grighine (98.9 MW) wind farm as part of the strategic partnership with Danish company Greentech resulted in badwill of €20.5 million. On the other hand, corporate and development costs increased by approximately €8 million in line with the Group’s strong growth, while the Distributed Energies business made a negative contribution to EBITDA in the first half.
* In the Americas, first-half 2009 EBITDA came to €39.9 million, representing an increase of 129.3%. The increase was driven by the Generation business, owing to the commissioning of the Wapsi North and Shiloh 2 wind farms, the DSSA activity (the Goodnoe project generated a negative margin in the first half of 2008) and positive currency effects.

First-half 2009 operating income came to €94.6 million, representing an increase of 60.6%. Net depreciation and amortisation increased by €18.6 million, from €26.3 million in the first half of 2008 to €44.9 million in the first six months of 2009, in line with the increase in assets operated by the Group, primarily solar and wind farms.

Net financial expense worked out at €51.8 million, compared with €21.5 million in the first half of 2008. Two key factors accounted for this increase:

* Firstly, the increase in interest expense in line with the commissioning of new facilities and the higher Working Capital Requirement. This increase was mitigated by the positive impact of the fall in interest rates on the portion of the Group’s borrowings not covered by a fixed-rate hedge. In addition, the Group took advantage of the very low level of interest rates by starting to put in place interest-rate hedges to secure this advantage for the future.
* Secondly, a €20.2 million provision covering all of EDF EN’s and EDF ENR’s combined exposure to Silicium de Provence (Silpro), in which EDF EN hold an indirect minority stake. The provision set aside at 30 June 2009 covers the Group’s estimated maximum risk exposure in relation to the project.

Income tax expense declined from €5.9 million in the first half of 2008 to €3.9 million in the first half of 2009, representing an effective tax rate of 9.2%. This low rate by past standards was primarily attributable to the non-taxable nature of the badwill coming from the acquisition of the Monte Grighine project and use in the United States of the (PTC and ITC) tax credits received over the period and during 2006-2008 which remained unused at the end of 2008.

Net income, Group share came to €41.8 million, up 53.7% compared with the first half of 2008.

CASH FLOW

The operating cash flow generated during the first six months of the year doubled compared with the year-earlier period. It worked out at €96.6 million, close to 70% of EBITDA.

The increase in the working capital requirement came to €183.6 million and was primarily attributable to the projects under construction and due to be sold (DSSA), to turbine purchases and notably part of the 270 MW of GE turbines acquired in March 2009 from SkyPower and to the solar panels intended for projects under construction at 30 June 2009, which had not yet been recognised as investments.

Investments during the first half of the year amounted to €449.6 million. They include €377 million in investments in the wind segment and €13 million reflecting the acquisition cost of the Monte Grighine shares under the agreement with Greentech. Investments in the solar segment amounted to €49 million. The pace of investment is set to accelerate over the second half, notably in the solar segment, to keep pace with the rate of construction starts and commissioning of new facilities. All in all, full year capital expenditure is expected to exceed €1.1 billion.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

At 30 June 2009, consolidated shareholders’ equity came to €1,528 million, up from €1,491 million at year-end 2008.

The Group’s net debt stood at €1,838.5 million compared with the €1,218 million2 posted at year-end 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to investments in the first half and the increase in the Working Capital Requirement.

OUTLOOK

EDF Energies Nouvelles confirms its 2009 EBITDA target of between €280 million and €300 million, as well as its year-end 2012 installed capacity target of 4,000 MW in net capacity, including 500 MWp in solar capacity.

1 EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortisation, investment grants and impairment losses.

2 Reported net debt at year-end 2008 came to €1,265 million, but the Group’s net debt now includes cash held in blocked reserve accounts and year-end 2008 debt was restated to take this into account

EDF taps €1 billion in solar project financing: exclusive use of First Solar modules
17 December 2009 | By Mark Osborne | News > Thin Film, CdTe


In a significant move by EDF Energies Nouvelles to boost its solar energy portfolio, the renewable energy producer has secured new project finance that is underpinned by a €500 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB). EIB is financing 50% of planned projects in both France and Italy through 2012, while commercial banks will support each project with the other 50% of project finance required. EDF is exclusively using First Solar’s CdTe thin film modules for the €1 billion of projects over the next 2-years.

Two pilot projects, the Gabardan ground-based solar farm in France (three 12 MWp tranches, Landes) and the Loreo ground-based solar farm in Italy (12.5 MWp, Veneto) will be financed in early 2010 under this agreement.

Pâris Mouratoglou, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EDF Energies Nouvelles“We are very happy with this innovative financing solution put together with the EIB that has been made possible by the volume of our projects’ portfolio,” commented Pâris Mouratoglou, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EDF Energies Nouvelles. “Perfectly suited to photovoltaic projects, which have a smaller average unit size than in wind energy, this financing structure will help EDF EN to step up the pace of completion of its numerous projects under development in France and Italy and will facilitate achievement of our ambitious objectives.”

“The support that we are providing to EDF Energies Nouvelles’ projects fits perfectly with the framework of the national and European policies in support of renewable energies and will help to meet the targets of combating global warming and promoting energy independence, while contributing to the development of innovative technologies,” remarked Philippe de Fontaine Vive, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank. “We are convinced that R&D and investment in innovative and sustainable projects, in all strategic sectors including energy to stop climate change, are essential to economic revival and growth in our countries.”

EDF and First Solar are also planning to build a dedicated thin film plant in France, which will be operated by First Solar exclusively for EDF and its solar projects.

However, First Solar noted in its latest analyst meeting that it has a significant pipeline of projects in Europe of the next few years and will be ramping new production lines in Malaysia to meet demand.

EDF Energies Nouvelles Announces the Acquisition of US Company Beacon Landfill Gas Holdings LLC


Regulatory News:

enXco, the US subsidiary of EDF Energies Nouvelles (Paris:EEN), realized the acquisition of Beacon Landfill Gas Holdings LLC, a specialist in biogas installations in the United States.

This acquisition includes two biogas production units located in Western Pennsylvania, at landfill facilities operated by Allied Waste Service and Veolia groups. The biogas production potential of these two facilities generates an average of 50 MW of equivalent electricity (up to 65 MW in the long run with the gas production increase).

Both biogas installations capture methane, a gas generated by the decomposition of waste, and purify it so that it can be injected into the national natural gas pipeline system. This technology enables to produce renewable energy by reusing waste and avoid emissions of methane (a key contributor to greenhouse effect and climate change).

In parallel to this operation, Beacon principals are joining enXco with the objective to continue the development of biogas projects in North America, within enXco's new dedicated subsidiary, enXco LFG Holdings.

EDF Energies Nouvelles developed an expertise in the biogas segment in Europe, through the 68%-owned company Verdesis, and has four biogas facilities in service in France and Belgium. This acquisition illustrates the Group's strategy to invest selectively in new high-potential energy sources, alongside wind and solar expansion.

PROJECTS COMMISSIONED

EDF Energies Nouvelles commissioned 186.2 MWp in gross capacity during 2010, including 124.9 MWp gross during the second half alone. Facilities were commissioned in Italy (71.9 MWp), France (44.3 MWp), Canada (35.3 MWp), Spain (28.6 MWp) and Greece (6 MWp).

In addition, the Group sold 59.9 MWp as part of its DSSA business.

In France, the Puyloubier (6.5 MWp) facility in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, the Montendre plant (5.5 MWp) in Charente-Maritime and the Pierrefonds (3.5 MWp) facility on Reunion Island were commissioned during the fourth quarter. These plants complement the 26 MWp (Gabardan and trackers) in capacity that entered service at the beginning of the year.

Over 2010 as a whole, the Group also sold three tranches (32.2 MWp) of the Gabardan power plant, the first tranche of the Saint-Symphorien (12 MWp) facility and 15.7 MWp in roof-based projects (on industrial, commercial and agricultural buildings) as part of its DSSA business.

In Italy, numerous facilities were commissioned at the end of the year, notably the Priolo (13.5 MWp) plant in Sicily, the Loreo (12.6 MWp) facility in the Veneto region and also the Marrubiu 1 and 2 (7.7 MWp) units in Sardinia. Over 2010 as a whole, 36 other ground-based facilities or large-roof array plants, each with a capacity of between 0.3 MWp and 2.9 MWp, representing 38.1 MWp in total capacity, were commissioned in Italy.

In Spain, the Group commissioned 28.6 MWp in capacity in the first six months of the year, including the Casatejada (11.4 MWp), Valdecaballeros (11.4 MWp) and La Rambla (5.8 MWp) power plants.

In Greece, the ground-based Xirokambi facility (6 MWp) was commissioned during the second half of 2010.

In Canada, EDF Energies Nouvelles commissioned three power plants located in Ontario during December 2010, namely the Saint-Isidore A (11.5 MWp), Elmsley East (11.9 MWp) and Elmsley West (11.9 MWp) facilities. These plants qualify for the RESOP feed-in tariff.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Gross capacity under construction for its own account and for third parties stood at 162.6 MWp at 31 December 2010. The projects in progress are chiefly located in France, Italy and North America.

In France, the Group has 112.5 MWp in gross capacity under construction. Work continued on the Bouloc (10.1 MWp) power plant and the second tranche of the Saint-Symphorien (12 MWp) facility in south-western France. In addition, EDF Energies Nouvelles launched the construction of several large-scale power plants, such as the Valensole (12 MWp) and Saint-Marcel-sur-Aude (10 MWp) facilities, both located in the south of France, as well as the Potiche 2 (4.7 MWp) plant in Martinique. In addition, 28.2 MWp in large roof arrays and farm buildings are under construction for third parties.

Following the decree of 10 December 2010 on solar tariffs, EDF Energies Nouvelles has 223 MWp gross and 572 MWp gross in projects for which access to the tariff has not been "suspended" in the ERDF and RTE queues respectively. These projects are currently under development, and certain facilities might be built once their permits and authorisations have been secured.

According to the information published by the grid operators, EDF EN has around 25% of all the projects connected and/or in the queues in mainland France.

In Italy, 27.6 MWp in gross capacity was under construction at 31 December 2010. The Augusta (6.7 MWp) and Ancona (3.3 MWp) facilities are currently in the construction phase, as are 20 ground-based facilities and large roof arrays representing 17.6 MWp in total capacity.

In the United States, where the Group's development is gaining pace, gross capacity under construction stands at 22.5 MWp. Construction of the LIPA plant for its own account (16.6 MWp) started in New York State. The Group has also launched the construction for third parties of the Pocono Raceway (3 MWp) and Matrix (2.9 MWp) facilities located respectively in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

analog Iberdrola?:

PARIS, April 8 (Reuters) - Shares in French state run utility EDF and its alternative energy unit EDF Energies Nouvelles were suspended on Friday at the companies' request, market operator Euronext said.

The share suspension comes as EDF stock has been falling sharply after France cut the size of electricity price increases as rising energy costs emerged as the latest drag on the popularity of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

EDF shares have lost 15 percent since early March and 7.33 percent since Tuesday, when the government announced that it was limiting an upcoming electricity price hike to 1.7 percent, far less than the roughly 5 percent annual increase EDF had sought.

A Paris-based trader speculated the suspension could be related to a possible bid by EDF to buy out minority investors in its EDF Energies Nouvelles unit but that he could see no financial rationale for such a move.

A spokeswoman for EDF said the company was planning to make a statement on Friday afternoon but declined further comment.

PARIS, April 8 (Reuters) - EDF and EDF Energies Nouvelles shares have been suspended at the companies' request, leading to speculation the state-run utility could buy out minority shareholders in its alternative energy unit.

EDF, whose stock has been slammed in recent weeks by concern about its reliance on nuclear energy as well as political pressure to limit power price hikes, said on Friday it would issue a statement later in the day.

Analysts and traders said a buyout of minority shareholders in EDF Energies Nouvelles -- which has a market value of 2.8 billion euros ($4.0 billion) and is 50 percent owned by EDF -- was the most likely reason for the dual suspension.

Such a transaction would mirror an offer last month by Spanish group Iberdrola to buy out minority shareholders in Iberdrola Renovables.

Shares in Portuguese company EDP Renovaveis were up 3.6 percent in morning trade.

'Thanks to the deal, EEN would get a better access to fund its growth prospects as its leverage is currently high,' Cheuvreux analyst Damien de Saint Germain said in a note.

'Another option could be a transaction between EEN and another player,' he said. 'However, we do not see the rationale to have suspended the share price of EDF.'

The share suspension comes after EDF stock has been hammered both by Japan's nuclear crisis -- the French utility generates the vast majority of its power from nuclear plants -- and by political and regulatory turbulence at home.

EDF shares have lost 15 percent since the March 11 Japan earthquake and tsunami, including 7.3 percent since Tuesday when the government said it was limiting an upcoming electricity price hike to 1.7 percent, compared with the roughly 5 percent increase EDF had sought.

PARIS, April 8 (Reuters) - France's EDF on Friday offered to buy out minority shareholders in its solar and wind power unit amid growing utility industry nerves about Japan's nuclear crisis.

EDF, the world's largest listed nuclear energy producer, offered 40 euros ($57.61) a share for the 50 percent of its alternative power subsidiary EDF Energies Nouvelles that it does not already own.

EDF also said it would buy back up to 1 billion euros of shares to minimise dilution to existing shareholders from the deal, which the utility said would allow it to 'fully benefit from the future value creation of renewable energies.'

EDF, whose stock has been slammed in recent weeks by concern about its reliance on nuclear energy and political pressure to limit domestic price hikes, would become the latest utility to increase exposure to alternative energy after Spain's Iberdrola .

The offered price represents a 10.4 percent premium to Thursday's closing price of the renewables unit, which has a market value of 2.8 billion euros ($4 billion).

The transaction mirrors an offer last month by Iberdrola to buy out minority shareholders in Iberdrola Renovables.

NUCLEAR WOES CITED

Iberdrola announced an-all share bid on March 8 to buy out the 20 percent of its Iberdrola Renovables unit it listed in 2007 at nearly half the price at which the green unit debuted.

But while the Spanish utility's offer was well timed to take advantange of Renovables' depressed share price, the EDF offer would come at a time when shares in its alternative energy unit have been rallying thanks to the Japan crisis, while EDF hit multi-year lows earlier this week.

'This doesn't make strategic sense,' said one Paris-based trader before the announcement. 'It's more of a media-oriented deal in the context of nuclear falling out of favour.'

EEN in February forecast a rise of at least 23 percent in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to 560 million euros in 2011.

Shares in EDP Renovaveis, a similar Portuguese company, were up 3.2 percent in early afternoon trade.

'Thanks to the deal, EEN would get a better access to fund its growth prospects as its leverage is currently high,' Cheuvreux analyst Damien de Saint Germain said in a note.

State-controlled EDF generates the vast majority of its power from nuclear plants.

Its shares have lost 15 percent since the Mar. 11 Japan earthquake, including 7.3 percent since Tuesday when France said it was limiting an upcoming electricity price hike to 1.7 percent -- far less than the roughly 5 percent EDF had sought.

France's Mouratoglou Group, which owns 25 percent of EEN, has already agreed to the 40-euro per share tender offer, EDF said.

Shares in both EDF and EEN were suspended before the start of trading on Friday. The Euronext stock market said it did not know when trading would re-open.
