2018 THEES SEN TIAL DAY BY DAY INTO THE FUTURE Involved in the development of the Rhone Valley since 1934, CNR has grown around the Rhone concession in the framework of three missions entrusted to it by the State: producing electricity, developing river navigation and irrigating the surrounding farmland. Right from the beginning its knowhow emerged from harnessing the river to produce hydroelectricity and enhancing the territories that border it, thereby forming the basis around which it participates in building the energy landscape of tomorrow, at local scale and in the framework of European and national orientations. An expert in energy generated from water, it has diver- sified in wind and solar power to become France’s leading producer of 100% renewable electricity. The DNA of the Rhone Valley provides it not only with technical and financial resources, but also the operational methods it requires to invent a more sustainable world: balanced governance, an integrated industrial model, the rationale of redistribution, the spirit of innovation and participatory dynamism. These are all advantages when taking into account the major societal challenges of our time, giving it a head start in energy transition and positioning it as a corporate laboratory for tomorrows’ energies. CNR | THE ESSENTIAL 2018 3 A balanced mode A model that places responsibility of governance and solidarity to the fore CNR is a joint stock company operating in the general interest, managed by a Sharing – with the redistribution of the wealth produced thanks to the river; Management Board and administered by a Supervisory Board.

Groupe Caisse des Dépôts A corporate laboratory of tomorrow’s energies, CNR ensures the efficiency of its production assets, and the safety of people and property. By doing so, CNR participates in balancing the national and European electricity grids. Local action entails proposing assistance to the territories that is adapted to the challenges facing them. To do that, CNR has set ambitious targets: socioeconomic Environmental responsibility development, sharing water resources means that it has always and maintaining the balance of produced electricity using natural natural habitats and biodiversity. resources. The historic producer of hydroelectricity on the Rhone, CNR is diversifying its production sources in wind and solar power to develop a 100% renewable energy mix. 4 CNR | THE ESSENTIAL 2018 5 2018 2018 KEYFAITS FIGURESMAR- RESULTS RIVER TRANSPORT QUANTS AND TOURISM 84,552 lock passages BETWEEN LYON AND THE GROSS TURNOVER € 1 ,380 M MEDITERRANEAN (-5.09% VS 2017) NET INCOME € 56.1 M 14 wide gauge locks 5 locks for pleasure craft 15.5 TWh OF PRODUCTION 4.52 million tonnes 12,289 pleasure craft transported (+2.3% VS 2017) (-17% VS 2017) 78,041 containers 198,356 passengers transported on river cruisers 1 363 (-2.06% VS 2017) (+0,05% VS 2017) FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES ON 31/12/2018 100% RENEWABLE OTHER ASSETS PRODUCTION INDUSTRIAL REDISTRIBUTION ASSETS AND PORT SITES ON 30/04/2019 27 charging points FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES + €30 M A YEAR IN 32 pumping stations 8 enterprise zones ASSISTANCE TO THE TERRITORIES 47 hydropower plants BY VIRTUE OF THE MISSIONS FOR IRRIGATION 18 industrial IN THE GENERAL INTEREST 48 wind farms 27,000 ha of land and and port sites 14,500 direct and indirect river under concession INCLUDING PORT DE LYON 26 solar power 14,000 HA OF RIVER, 13,000 HA OF jobs GENERATED IN THE RHONE VALLEY plants LAND INCLUDING MORE THAN 800 HA OF INDUSTRIAL AND PORT SITES, €116 million 3,789.4 MW of AND ENTERPRISE ZONES IN HYDRAULIC FEES installed capacity 19 dams 39 fish passes 6 CNRCNR | THE | L’ESSENTIEL ESSENTIAL 2018 7 Safety and maintenance, the challenge of performance CNR earns most of its income from MONITORING THE RIVER harnessing hydroelectricity from the AND THE INSTALLATIONS Rhone.
