Technical interruption to ElecLink operations – Update on the return to service


As stated in our press release dated 26 September, updated on 6 October, a fault was
detected on the electrical interconnector between France and the UK, leading to a
suspension of activity.
Works to restore the cable are progressing well. The full assessment of the return to service
plan has concluded that, as a precautionary measure, two additional weeks of outage were
necessary to finalise works and conduct further tests during that period.
Consequently, the re-entry into service of the interconnector is expected on 2 December.
The extension of the suspension of activity until 2 December will have an additional
commercial impact estimated at approximately 13 million euros1.
Group EBITDA target for 2024 is confirmed at this stage.
