        Launch of the construction of two solar power plants in France

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in
renewable energies, today announces the start of construction works at the
French solar power plants of Canadel (10.4 MW) and Castellet 2 (3.8 MW) located
in the southern-France region of Var.

Awarded during the CRE III tender in December 2015(1), these projects are both
located in the sunniest region of France. The Canadel plant will be located in
Brignoles and the second plant, called Castellet II, will be adjacent to the
first plant of the same name commissioned by Voltalia in July 2013, following
the CRE I call for tender (2012).

Each benefitting from a 20-year power sale agreement, the plants should be
commissioned by year-end 2017, in accordance with the terms of the call for
tender.

Voltalia has chosen to equip these sites with SunPower high performance
E-Series solar panels which are among the most efficient on the market.
SunPower, a majority-owned subsidiary of Total SA, will produce the majority of
the solar panels in its French facilities.

Following the announcement in January of the construction of a solar plant in
addition to the current hydro and thermal infrastructures at Oiapoque (Brazil),
the installation of a second plant at the Castellet site in France underlines
the Group's ability to optimize its installations in order to generate
additional value for the high-quality sites it selects.

Next on the agenda: Q2 2017 revenues, on July 19, 2017 (post trading)
