Voltalia signs its first energy supply contract for a telecom client

Voltalia to generate and sell electricity to decentralized telecom towers in
Myanmar

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in
renewable energies, will provide solutions for the energy supply of a first
batch of 171 telecom towers, of which 80% are not connected to the national
electricity grid.

"Over the past years, Voltalia has developed internal know-how for isolated
sites, primarily in Latin America. This expertise is now used for telecom
towers, a fast-growing niche within the decentralized generation market. The
signing of our first contract with a telecom tower company opens many
opportunities. Energy supply in isolated sites is a key expertise of Voltalia,
which is particularly relevant in many countries we already cover, especially
in Africa" says Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.

Voltalia's first contract as ESCO

MNTI is the owner of a network of telecom towers which are made available to
MyTel, a telecom operator jointly controlled by Myanmar National Telecom
Holdings and Viettel (Vietnam's national telecom operator).

MNTI has selected Voltalia as energy service company (ESCO) for the energy
supply of an initial batch of 171 telecom towers. Under a 10-year contract,
Voltalia will continuously provide electric power to sites (2 kW each), located
in the Bago and Ayeyarwaddy regions.

Beyond the first 171 towers, Voltalia and MNTI intend to deepen their
cooperation for the future expansion of the coverage. Voltalia will also be
able to power other telecom operators willing to use the towers.

Leverage of technical expertise in isolated areas

This project confirms Voltalia's expertise in the construction and operation of
off-grid power plants generating electricity from various energy sources. As
for the Oiapoque's project in Brazil, Myanmar's hybrid installations will first
consist in thermal generators with batteries in order to deliver electricity
from February 2018. Solar panels will then be gradually introduced in order to
replace diesel capacity.

Next on the agenda: 2017 full-year results on March 28, 2018
