PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2024-- Regulatory News:

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 2December.

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.
