Launch of the construction of the Echauffour wind plant (10 MW) in France

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in
renewable energies, announces today the beginning of the construction of the
Echauffour wind power plant (10 MW) in Normandy.

Located in Echauffour in the Orne department (61), the Echauffour power plant
is Voltalia's first wind farm in Normandy, a region benefitting from the second
best wind potential of the country, after Brittany. Equipped with wind turbines
provided by Senvion, this project will be built and operated by Voltalia. It
will benefit from long-term revenues secured for 15 years, under the contract
for difference(1) scheme.

This project falls within the local energy transition policy. As part of the
"Perche / Pays d'Ouche" regional wind plan, the Echauffour plant will help
reach the region's installed capacity target of 70 to 100 MW by 2020.

The commissioning of the power plant is expected in the first semester of 2019
and its electricity production should cover the consumption of circa 10,000
households.

Next on the agenda: Q1 revenues on April 18, 2018
