KEY HIGHLIGHTS INSTALLED CAPACITY
EDP's total generation increased by 4% in 1Q26 to 19TWh, in line with the increase in Wind and Solar generation, with renewables
representing 91% of EDP's electricity generation mix.
Hydro generation in Iberia reached 4.3 TWh in 1Q26, exceeding expectations by +0.9 TWh, driven by exceptionally strong hydro resources +52% vs. historical average (vs. +42% in 1Q25). The surge in hydro and wind output following successive storms since the end of January, significantly increased electricity renewable generation and contributed to a 48% decrease in average Iberian spot prices, from €85.3/MWh in 1Q25 to €44.2/MWh in 1Q26, with a temporary low of €16.4/MWh in February amid excessive rainfall.
Reservoir levels stood at 94% at the end of March, a 10-year record for this time of the year (vs.76% at the end of 2025 and 89% in
Mar-25). High reservoir levels are expected to support the performance of Flexgen business in the coming quarters.
Thermal generation increased by 4% YoY, driven primarily by gas powered generation in Portugal (+38% YoY), reflecting higher demand for flexibility and backup services, following temporary outages in Portugal's transmission/interconnection system in February/March, caused by the storms. Consequently, ancillary services & restrictions component in final electricity price supported by electricity supply increased significantly YoY.
Over the last 12 months, EDP added +2.1 GW of total (of which +2.0 GW at EDPR level in line with the latest guidance, with the
remaining mainly from Solar DG in Europe and Brazil).
As of March 2026, capacity under construction stood at 1.9 GW supporting capacity scheduled for 2026 and beyond, with >90%
of the expected ~1.5 GW additions in 2026 already installed or under construction.
In 2026, Asset Rotation execution will be mostly concentrated in 2H26. As of 1Q26, EDP closed the sale of a 150 MW wind portfolio in Greece, as conditions precedent were met in December 2025, capacity deconsolidation and asset rotation gains were accounted in 4Q25, while asset rotation proceeds were accounted in 1Q26.
Wind and solar installed capacity reached 21.2 GW (EBITDA + Equity) in 1Q26, an increase of +1.3 GW YoY (+6%).
Wind and solar generation increased by 4% YoY to 11.5 TWh (including solar DG in Europe and Brazil), driven by a 6% increase in installed capacity over the last 12 months, with a stronger contribution from North America, mainly solar, and by higher wind and solar resources in Europe, while overall resources remained close to the long-term average, supporting the increase in generation volumes (for more information: EDPR 1Q26 Operating Data Preview).
The number of EDP's electricity clients in liberalised market Portugal, reached 3,428k as of March 2026, reflecting a stabilization QoQ, following EDP's competitive commercial offerings, the growing adoption of differentiated services and the continued delivery of high levels of customer service. The volume supplied in Portuguese liberalized market increased 8% YoY, mainly due to the increase in average consumption.
In Iberia, electricity distributed increased by 1.1% YoY. In Portugal electricity demand in our distribution grid increased 2.5% YoY, driven by higher EV's penetration, increase in the number of customers and higher average consumption per customer (which compares to +4.7% YoY growth of consumption in Portugal overall, including very high voltage grid). In Spain electricity consumption in our distribution grid area decreased by 4% YoY driven by a temporary outage of a large industrial client (which compares to +1% YoY growth of electricity demand in Spain mainland). In Brazil, electricity distributed increased only 0.8% YoY

vs. a strong 1Q25 base (+ 7% YoY vs. 1Q24) due to temperature normalization and higher penetration of solar DG, while the number
of customers connected increased the 1.9%YoY.
