(“EDP”), has its head office in Lisbon, Avenida 24 de Julho 12 and its shares listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange. The group’s businesses are currently focused on the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity and supply of natural gas. Although complementary, the group also operates in related areas such as engineering, laboratory tests, professional training, energy services and property management. EDP operates essentially in the European, American and APAC energy sectors. Since 2022, EDP has been publishing an Integrated Annual Report, which includes, in the same document: its strategy, operational and sustainability performance, financial statements, corporate governance and remunerations report. The Integrated Annual Report is prepared in accordance with the provisions set out on Portuguese Companies Code and Securities Code and in compliance with the provisions set out on CMVM’s Regulations no. 4/2013 and no. 4/2023, concerning Corporate Governance and Disclosure Requirements of the publicly traded companies and under the terms of the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Institute, revised in 2023. Its sustainability performance is prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as defined in Commission Delegated Regulation EU 2023/2772 of 31 July 2023, which complements the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and it is disclosed under Art. 66-B and Art. 65 of the Commercial Companies Code. It also follows other regulatory reporting frameworks, namely those set by the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), the International Financial Reporting Standards Sustainability Standards (IFRS S), Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (SFDR), Pillar 3, Benchmark Regulation and EU Climate Law. The financial statements presented in the report are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted in the European Union. Thus, under the combined terms of articles 29th-G and 29th-L of the Portuguese Securities Code, the documents included in this Report were prepared in the ESEF Format and in accordance with the specifications provided for by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17th December 2018, and in accordance with the subsequent amendments, also taking into account the guidance provided by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) through the updated version of the ESEF Reporting Manual. This report covers the calendar year 2024 and has been structured in four major blocks: • Part I – Management Report • Part II – Financial Statements • Part III – Corporate Governance • Part IV – Remunerations Report. EDP also publishes an additional set of reports available at www.edp.com: • Annual Report of the General and Supervisory Board • Annual sectoral reports, in particular: Safety and Business Continuity Report, Internal Audit Report, Ethics Ombudsperson’s Report and Social Investment Report • Bi-annual sectoral reports: Human and Labour Rights Report, Biodiversity Report, Circular Economy Report • Annual and sustainability reports of the companies EDP - Energias do Brasil and EDP Renováveis. Additionally, EDP is including the status report of the Climate Transition Plan, approved at the AGM of 2022, in the Sustainability Statement included in Part I - Management Report. The Climate Transition Plan marked a significant step towards a sustainable future, outlining the company's commitment to decarbonization and the transition to renewable energy sources. With the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the status on EDP's Climate Transition Plan has been integrated into the Sustainability Statement. This inclusion ensures compliance with the new reporting standards, specifically addressing the requirements of the ESRS E1 standard, which focuses on climate-related disclosures. This Report is a free translation of the Integrated Annual Report originally issued in Portuguese. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| 4| | | | | | | | | | | | | Dear Shareholders and Stakeholders, In 2024, the energy sector faced a pivotal moment, encountering both significant challenges and promising opportunities. Carbon emissions rose, capital costs remained high and shifting political dynamics introduced new uncertainties – particularly with the implications of the new U.S. administration for the clean energy sector yet to be clarified. Stronger competition and delays in renewable project deployment – mainly due to permitting and grid connection barriers – also posed significant challenges to the renewables business case. Nonetheless, these challenges have not altered the long-term outlook for clean energy. Beyond environmental and sustainability concerns, energy affordability and competitiveness gained prominence, and the urgency of energy security became undeniable. Renewable energy remains a critical part of the solution to the energy trilemma. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption is set to rise at an unprecedented pace while electricity supply is projected to grow by over 25% by 2030, with renewables leading the way. Record-breaking growth in solar PV and wind is expected, with hydropower continuing to provide essential flexibility to power systems. Batteries have emerged as the fastest-growing source of short-term dispatchable capacity, playing a crucial role in energy storage and grid stability. The expansion of distributed solar generation (DG) will continue transforming the energy landscape, enabling consumers to actively participate in energy markets while enhancing grid resilience. Grid infrastructure expansion and maintenance will be critical to enabling electrification and integrating renewables and industrial customers. At EDP, we successfully navigated a rapidly evolving environment, particularly within our renewables business. The business segment mix evolved differently from what was expected two years ago, with stronger-than-anticipated performance from our integrated generation and supply business in Iberia, as well as our electricity networks business. This highlights the value of our integrated utility business model and the benefits of portfolio diversification. Additionally, we prioritized operational excellence, execution, and profitability over scale. I am proud to share that 95% of our energy generation came from renewable sources (hydro, wind, and solar), surpassing our business plan target. We also achieved an outstanding 64% reduction in emissions intensity compared to the previous year. By year-end, we had invested 5.4 billion euros and delivered on the financial targets set in our 2024-2026 strategic plan, including EBITDA, net profit, and financial leverage. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| 5| | | | | | | | | | | | | Our Renewable Generation Assets In 2024, our Renewables business faced one of the most challenging landscapes the sector has ever seen. Yet, we continued to grow, adding 4.0 GW to our portfolio – our highest annual capacity expansion to date! We now manage end-to-end asset operations across our regions – Europe, North America, South America, and Asia-Pacific – with a total capacity of 27 GW worldwide, including wind, solar, hydro, hybrid, and storage projects, that generated 54.6 TWh of energy in 2024. Our offshore wind investment, through the 50/50 Ocean Winds joint venture with ENGIE, has expanded to 2.3 GW of installed capacity, with an additional 1.0 GW under construction. Our Networks This year, our networks, spanning 389 thousand kilometres across Portugal, Spain, and Brazil (equivalent to 9.7 times the Earth's circumference), distributed 90 TWh of energy. Investing in grid expansion and modernization remains crucial, which is why in 2024 we allocated over 930 million euros to our networks, bringing our total Remunerated Asset Base (RAB) to 7.2 billion euros. In Portugal and Spain, we successfully completed a large-scale multi-year smart meter installation campaign, achieving 100% smart network connectivity for our clients. In Brazil, EDP made significant strides in transmission, securing three new lots with a total length of 1,388 kilometres. Additionally, our electricity distribution concessions in Espírito Santo and São Paulo became eligible for a 30-year extension under new legislation introduced this year. Our Clients Solutions In 2024, we secured over 2 GWac of new Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), 65% of which were signed with major tech companies, further solidifying EDP’s position as a key partner for data centers. In Distributed Solar Generation (DG), we achieved a historic milestone, installing 1.5 GWac and contracting 2.9 GWp across our operations globally. Within our Retail B2B operations, we supplied over 20 TWh of energy to customers in a challenging environment marked by volume deviation pressures and market-to-market dynamics. In Retail B2C operations in Portugal, our teams successfully maintained a strong client base of over 3 million clients and achieved a record service penetration rate of 27%, despite intensified competition challenging our incumbent position. Our Strengthened Sustainable Practices This year was pivotal for our organizational transformation. We launched and implemented a new operating model featuring a strengthened regional presence, globally integrated business platforms and improved functions to support operations. The new structure offers significant synergies, economies of scale, and a simplified governance and decision-making model. Our commitment to creating an exceptional workplace earned EDP continued recognition as one of the world’s top employers for 2025 by the Top Employers Institute, achieving our highest score in three years (90%). More importantly, this year’s internal climate survey revealed that most employees take pride in being part of EDP and would recommend it as a good place to work. We remain dedicated to strengthening this culture and enhancing the employee experience. Ethics and Compliance remain at the core of our business. In 2024, EDP was again recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. We also received certifications from accredited external entities for our compliance management system and anti-bribery and corruption management system, reinforcing our leadership in corporate integrity. We have further strengthened our digital transformation efforts. Our “move to cloud” strategy has improved application performance by 70%, addressing critical vulnerabilities. EDP is also a leader in Data & AI, turning data into actionable intelligence. We successfully delivered over 300 digital products and identified 130 use cases for Generative AI. Innovation continued to thrive in 2024. Key initiatives included energy storage, automation in solar power plant construction to accelerate project execution, technologies to speed up electricity grid expansion, and drones for asset maintenance and inspection. We also continued investing in transformative startups in key areas such as smart heat pumps, grid flexibility, thermal storage, and carbon removal. EDP reinforced its position as a global sustainability leader: we maintained our place in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices, marking 17 consecutive years as the only Portuguese company in the index. Additionally, EDP was included in the Top 5% of S&P’s 2025 Global Sustainability Yearbook. For the seventh consecutive year, EDP was recognized by CDP for its leadership in climate action, earning the prestigious ‘Leadership A’ rating, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship. Climate risk is an increasing concern, and I would like to highlight the outstanding efforts of our teams in responding to extreme weather events that impacted our operations in 2024, including Hurricane Kirk in Portugal, Dana in Spain, floods in Brazil, and Hurricanes Beryl, Helene, and Milton in | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| 6| | | | | | | | | | | | | the U.S. By working closely with local partners and authorities, we ensured the swift restoration of electricity to affected communities. This year, we began reporting in line with the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – a significant step forward in non-financial transparency, enabling stakeholders to better assess corporate performance. However, there is still room for improvement in the legislative framework to simplify reporting requirements and reduce complexity. As part of our social impact strategy, we remain committed to advancing a fair energy transition. Our Hope Fund supports social entrepreneurs in Portugal, Spain, and Latin America who promote energy access and equity. The 6th edition of the A2E Fund, with 1 million euros in funding, is set to improve health and education for over 5 million people in Africa. Through our Solidarity Solar project, we continue to bring renewable energy to schools and underserved communities in Portugal, Spain, Brazil, the U.S., and Greece. Most importantly, Safety: in 2024, EDP achieved a 33% reduction in the Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) indicator. However, we tragically lost six lives in our operations. This is not acceptable and reinforces the urgent need to further strengthen our safety practices, particularly with service providers, while addressing the leading causes of accidents: electrical hazards and high-level falls. Safety must remain our absolute priority. Zero Accidents is our unwavering goal for 2025 and beyond. Our Financial Performance In 2024, EDP delivered record results, demonstrating the resilience and value of our diversified portfolio. Recurring EBITDA reached 5.0 billion euros, driven by the integrated business in Iberia, including strong hydro conditions and solid network performance, partially offset by weaker renewable resource and high curtailment. There were also strong efficiency efforts at OPEX level, which saw a 4% reduction year-on-year in absolute terms despite growing activity. Recurring Net Profit reached 1.4 billion euros, marking an 8% increase year-on-year. We made the difficult decision to exit our 0.5 GW wind project in Colombia due to adverse conditions that compromised its economic viability, resulting in a 0.4 billion euros impairment for EDP. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding U.S. offshore projects impacted our results, as Ocean Winds recorded a provision for potential project delays, affecting EDP by 0.1 billion euros – the only financial impact so far from the new U.S. administration’s changes to renewable energy policies. We reinforced our balance sheet through key financing initiatives, including the issuance of 2.5 billion euros in green bonds, tax equity financing in the U.S., and 1.1 billion euros in tariff deficit securitization. These and other measures diversified our long-term funding sources, strengthened liquidity, and extended our average debt maturity profile under competitive conditions. Despite rising interest rates in Brazil, we successfully reduced the Group’s average cost of debt from 5% to 4.5%, further reinforcing our BBB credit metrics. Our FFO/Net Debt ratio improved to 21.5%, surpassing both last year’s level and our latest guidance (21%). EDP’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) was significantly impacted by the TSR of the subsidiary EDP Renewables, which was in turn affected by the challenging renewables sector environment and the downward revision of financial performance expectations. While EDP’s consolidated results remain strong, the weaker performance of EDP Renewables, coupled with its visibility as a listed company, had a larger impact than the positive performance of our integrated generation and supply business and electricity networks in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. EDP continues focused on delivering the financial targets for the 2025-2026 period, and we expect the positive trend of 2024 to continue. I remain confident in our ability to deliver sustained long-term value for our shareholders. My appreciation I am incredibly proud of everything we have accomplished this year – it was so much in such a challenging context! EDP has once again proven its ability to adapt, and 2024 has been a remarkable milestone in that journey. I want to express my deepest gratitude to every EDP team around the world and to my colleagues on the Executive Board of Directors for their resilience and dedication. A special thank you to the Chair of the General and Supervisory Board, António Lobo Xavier, as he embarks on his first year at EDP, and to all its members for their guidance and support. I also extend my sincere thanks to our shareholders for their trust and commitment over the past year, despite the challenging context. Finally, a word of appreciation to our stakeholders – our customers, suppliers, regulators, partners, and communities: our impact on the global energy landscape would not be possible without our collective efforts and shared vision. I look forward to updating our strategic plan for the years ahead, aligned with the evolving global landscape. EDP has the right teams and capabilities in place to drive a successful future and remains committed to delivering superior value to our shareholders while accelerating the transition to a cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable global energy system.

Power plants transform the various energy sources into electricity. In the supply activity the distributed energy arrives at the supply point and is sold by the supplier. Throughout the electricity and gas value chain, supply is the closest activity to the customer. In the transmission the energy generated is delivered to the transport network, which is made of very high voltage lines and which then channels the energy to the distribution network. In the distribution activity the transported energy is channelled to the distribution grid. The distribution network allows the flow of energy to the supply points. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 22| | | | | | | | | | | | | Stakeholder Management has the absolute purpose of transparency and openness towards society, particularly all those affected by EDP's activities. The baseline to EDP Group' s policies is listening, understanding and working alongside with the stakeholders following a dynamic process that creates shared value, which allows to anticipate challenges, minimise business risks and create new opportunities. To ensure the balance between company objectives and stakeholder interests, it is important to define and create strong stakeholder management plans, beginning with identifying stakeholders, their roles, and the impact they have. At EDP, stakeholders are organised into four categories, as shown on the right side of the page, according to their characteristics and interests. Engaging with stakeholders is an extremely demanding exercise for companies, that involves sharing information and being transparent in their relationship with society and, in particular, with all who are affected by their activities. EDP seeks to achieve this through its Stakeholder Management Policy and Methodology and its Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy and Local Stakeholder Engagement Procedures, all based in four major Guiding Commitments: | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 23| | | | | | | | | | | | | The Compliance Management System is anchored in the Global Ethics & Compliance Program and several Specific Compliance Programs (SCPs). The Global Ethics & Compliance Program is implemented at the corporate level and encompasses all activities, platforms, and regions. It defines the organizational and operational model for Ethics & Compliance and identifies key regulatory areas of relevance, for which the development of Specific Compliance Programs is planned. The Compliance Management System, as well as its associated SCPs, is continuously monitored by the E&C and subjected to periodic internal audits, conducted in line with the annual Internal Audit activity plan or outsourced to third-party entities. External audits are also performed, which may identify opportunities for improvement that are incorporated into the ongoing enhancement of compliance management. The EDP Group is committed to acting in accordance with the highest ethical and integrity standards, carrying out its activity in accordance with these standards and in strict compliance with current legislation and regulations, with a zero-tolerance policy regarding any non- compliance with applicable legal and regulatory rules, namely regarding practices associated with bribery, corruption or money laundering. This commitment is reflected in the Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees and members of the governing bodies across all group companies. It is supported by a robust governance structure, where the Ethics Commission-composed of independent members— ensure the continuous appropriateness of the Code of Ethics and analyses the processes of infringement of the Code submitted through the whistleblowing channels. Furthermore, the Executive Board of Directors and the General Supervisory Board, through the Financial Matters Committee, ensure the "tone at the top" and oversee compliance management matters. To ensure the group acts in accordance with these high standards, a Compliance Management System has been implemented. This system is based on eight key elements and aims to prevent, detect, and respond to instances of non-compliance, mitigating the risk of regulatory or ethical violations. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 24| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 25| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|--- 2.1.

Business environment 2.1.1. 2024 overview Geopolitical tensions and regional conflicts continued throughout 2024, significantly impacting global stability and energy systems. The ongoing war in Ukraine remained a focal point, with continued international sanctions against Russia and military support for Ukraine defining geopolitical alliances. In the Middle East, heightened tensions raised fears of a broader regional conflict. These conflicts contributed to energy price volatility, as disruptions in supply chains and production capacities led to fluctuating prices. In 2024, inflation kept on following the downward trend already felt in 2023. In the Eurozone inflation was 2.4% by 2024, a drop from 5.4% in 2023, while in the United States, it stood at 2.9% against 4.1% in 2023 (source: Focus Economics). There was a decreasing trend across markets for commodity prices, when considering average annual prices. The Brent price was around 80 dollars per barrel ($/bbl) at the beginning of the year and started to increase to reach the maximum of €90/bbl by April, following the geopolitical tensions in Russia and the Middle East, and the concerns over the potential supply disruptions. Prices decreased towards the end of the year with an average price of $75/bbl in the last trimester. The year ended with an average price of $81 /bbl, very close to the 2023 price of $83/bbl. In 2024, average gas prices decreased both in the US and in Europe. This was especially driven by the lower prices in the first half of the year, with a milder winter on average in the northern hemisphere, good gas storage levels in Europe, and new Liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects coming online and reinforcing supply. Henry Hub – reference index in the US - reached an average price of 2.1 dollars per million British thermal units ($/MMBtu) in 2024, compared to $2.5/MMBtu in 2023\. The European reference gas index (Title Transfer Facility or TTF) price had an average price of €33/MWh in 2024, a ≈18% decrease compared to the average price of €41/MWh in 2023. In Europe, the reference carbon price of the European Emissions Trading System (ETS) was on average €65/ton in 2024, decreasing from the €84/ton average price in 2023, following additional supply and lower emissions. 2024 was a year with multiple political changes and elections taking place in several countries worldwide. Of all, at least three should be highlighted, as they may bring significant changes to the energy sector. In June, a new European Parliament was elected, with centrist parties ensuring the majority and right-wing parties gaining seats, which could weaken net-zero target ambitions. Secondly, the UK election brought to power the Labour Party bringing forward strong ambition on renewables and nuclear deployment. And thirdly, the elections in the US with a victory for the Republican party potentially threatening the climate transition pathway the country has been pursuing in the past years. Electricity demand keeps growing worldwide with special attention on artificial intelligence and data centres, a source of additional demand with big growth potential in the coming years. The electrification of other end-uses such as road transport is a key trend for the energy sector with the unprecedented growth of electric vehicles, which reached 7 million in global sales in the first half of 2024 (25% more than in 1H2023), mainly led by China with over 4 million (source: IEA WEO 2024). | | ---|---|--- | | | Global warming in 20242024 has become the warmest year on record, according to the European Earth Observation Programme, “Copernicus”. Unprecedented global temperatures led 2024 to become the hottest year ever registered, overtaking 2023. From January to September, global mean surface air temperature was 1.54°C warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level, boosted by the warming event El Niño. 2024 is the year in which the threshold of the 1.5°C agreed under the Paris Climate Agreement is surpassed. Global warming has already caused devastating disruptions in ecosystems, populations, and economies all around the globe, and impacts seem to be increasingly catastrophic. The year 2024 was no exception and important climate-related events caused widespread damage all around the world. Italy and South America were hit by severe droughts, while there were extreme floods in Nepal, Sudan, and Europe. Heatwaves in Mexico, Mali, and Saudi Arabia killed thousands and the US, and the Philippines experienced devastating cyclones (source: Reuters). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Business environment| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 27| | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|--- | | | Climate negotiations: 29th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP 29)The 2024 United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP) took place in Baku, Azerbaijan from November 11th to 22nd.A new climate finance goal was agreed upon, targeting investment for the developing nations and their climate efforts. Developed countries committed to mobilize at least $300 Bn annually for developing countries by 2035 (previous commitment was $100 Bn set in 2009 for the 2020-2025 period), with a long-term goal to scale up to $1.3 trillion per year by 2035, from all public and private sources. After many years of negotiations, the rules and guidelines on international carbon trading were finalised and formally adopted (Article 6 of the Paris Agreement). With this program, it will be possible for countries to trade carbon credits from greenhouse gas reductions or removals, and in this way help other countries meet their climate goals, allowing as well the private sector to participate. | | | European Energy Policy In 2024, European energy policy saw several significant developments aimed at enhancing energy security, sustainability, and the transition to a net-zero future. In February, the European Commission presented a climate assessment setting targets for 2040, including a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels, a 45% share of renewable energy in the EU's energy mix, and a 40% improvement in energy efficiency. Moreover, there was relevant progress on legislative pieces. The revision of the Regulation and Directive on the Internal Electricity Market came into force in July 2024, aiming to stabilise electricity prices while ensuring a resilient electricity system fit to meet the ambitious decarbonization targets. The revision promotes price predictability through enhancing the uptake of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and 2-ways contracts for differences (CfDs). Resiliency is ensured by identifying capacity mechanisms as structural elements of the market design, complemented by non-fossil flexibility support schemes. Anticipatory investments in grids are recognized to support the energy transition, while customers benefit from additional protection mechanisms. The Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT) was strengthened to prevent market manipulation and increase transparency. The revised REMIT came into force in May 2024. The amendments included enhanced monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, better alignment with financial market regulations, and increased penalties for non- compliance. The Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) came into force in July 2024 to strengthen European manufacturing capacity and promote measures to overcome barriers to the scaling up of such capacity, facilitating market access for net-zero products. The Regulation also includes provisions for financial support, innovation incentives, and the development of a skilled workforce in the net- zero technology sector. To secure the supply of critical and strategic raw materials, the Critical Raw Materials Act entered into force in May 2024. The Regulation identifies lists of raw materials needed for key technologies for the EU's green ambitions and goals. It sets benchmarks to be achieved by 2030: the EU should mine 10% of its annual needs, process 40% of its needs, and cover 25% of its needs through recycling. It also promotes international partnerships and sustainable sourcing practices. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive was revised and entered into force in May 2024. The revision aimed to increase the rate of building renovations and support decarbonisation. An implementation guide was launched in November 2024 to help stakeholders enhance energy efficiency in buildings. The Directive also includes measures to promote smart technologies and protect vulnerable consumers. Additionally, the Hydrogen and Gas Decarbonisation Package came into force in July 2024, introducing a new regulatory framework for hydrogen infrastructure, promoting the development of a competitive hydrogen market, and an update on EU natural gas market rules. The hydrogen regulatory framework includes provisions for the certification of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, the repurposing of existing natural gas infrastructure for hydrogen transport, and the establishment of hydrogen networks. It aims to facilitate the integration of hydrogen into the energy system and support the EU's hydrogen strategy. Finally, to strengthen EU competitiveness, Mario Draghi was tasked by the European Commission to prepare a report on his vision for the future of European competitiveness. The Draghi Report, published in September 2024, looks at the challenges faced by the industry and companies in the single market and offers recommendations for sectoral policies, including on energy, clean technologies, and energy-intensive industries. The findings of the report will contribute to the development of the new Clean Industrial Deal, which will be presented in the first 100 days of the new Commission mandate. 1 “Renewables 2024” released in October 2024 2 Forecasts made by experts including IEA, BNEF and S&P | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Business environment| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 28| | | | | | | | | | | US Energy Policy 2024 regulatory framework in the United States has been impacted by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) long-term transmission planning rule and the result of Presidential elections. FERC's Order No. 1920, published on May 13, 2024, mandates comprehensive long-term transmission planning to enhance grid reliability, requiring transmission providers to develop 20- year regional plans every five years, considering various scenarios and benefits, including options for enhancing existing facilities ("right-sizing"), and deploying grid enhancing technologies. An amended version, Order 1920A, issued in December, clarifies the state's role in planning, allowing states to request additional scenarios and incremental cost considerations. Transmission providers must detail costs and benefits of potential Long-Term Regional Transmission (LTRT) facilities on a zonal basis, and if states agree on a cost allocation approach, it must be filed with FERC. Costs can be assigned based on specific benefits, and states can request an additional six months for cost allocation negotiations, extending the compliance period and planning cycles. In the November federal elections, Republicans gained control of the presidency, Senate, and the House. Immediately following President Trump’s inauguration on January 20th, he signed a litany of Executive Orders, three of which directly impact the renewables sector. A positive implication of these orders is a streamlining to the permitting processes and regulations surrounding energy. Negatively, the orders ban federal leases for offshore wind projects, attempt to pause onshore wind by restricting federal permitting, and temporarily pause on regulation that has not yet take full effect. These orders will not directly affect the ITC and PTC within the IRA. These orders did not include details on the timelines and scopes of their reach; however, in the coming weeks and months as Trump appointees assume their respective offices across federal agencies and budget reconciliation discussions continue, specifics on how these Executive Orders will affect the renewables sector will become more clear. This shift will certainly bring change to clean energy policy, but Republicans remain split on IRA repeal. A full repeal of the IRA remains unlikely, but it will face political and fiscal pressures. Tariffs under the new administration are expected to be more targeted despite Trump’s broad campaign promises. Policies will emphasize domestic manufacturing but may also face opposition from key industries. The Manchin-Barrasso Energy Permitting Reform Act is expected to stall; focus may shift towards oil and gas-friendly policies and limited federal land use for clean energy projects. FERC’s Democratic majority will persist until 2026 but could shift under new leadership. State-level policies could become more influential in response to federal changes. 2.1.2. The evolution of renewables around the world in 2024 The International Energy Agency (IEA) 1 reports that global renewable energy capacity grew by approximately 18% in 2024 compared to the previous year. Capacity additions reached an estimated 666 GW, surpassing the 600 GW threshold for the first time, with solar photovoltaic (PV) contributing around three-quarters of the total. This substantial growth underscores the potential for even faster expansion over the next five years, improving the likelihood of tripling global renewable capacity by 2030—a goal set during the COP 28 Climate Change Conference. The IEA projects annual additions will climb from 666 GW in 2024 to nearly 935 GW by 2030, with renewables expected to account for almost half of the world’s electricity generation by the decade's end. The remarkable growth in renewables is driven more by economic factors than climate policies. In many countries, renewables—particularly solar power—have become the most cost-effective option for new power generation. China is poised to solidify its position as the leader in renewable energy, increasing wind and solar PV capacity of 18% and 45% respectively. Meanwhile, the European Union and the United States are projected to double their renewable growth rates between 2024 and 2030, and India is anticipated to achieve the fastest growth rate among major economies. Wind power in 2024: record additions but uneven expansion Onshore According to IEA estimations, global wind additions could have reached 126 GW in 2024. This would represent the highest figure ever seen, mainly due to a strong performance of the offshore wind sector, with around 20 GW commissioned. Long-term fundaments remain strong for the coming years, and supportive policies in China, the US and Europe, are expected to boost wind additions in the coming years. However, short and medium-term challenges in project execution remain. New installations in China could have hit a record and grow around 80 GW, with data from the National Energy Administration pointing to a total wind installed capacity of 521 GW at the end of November 2024. In the US, new installations have grown at a moderate pace, with around 6-7.5 GW built in 2024 2. The Inflation Reduction Act, approved in 2022, has played a key role in fuelling wind energy 1 Data released by the German Wind Energy Association (BWE) and engineering federation VDMA Power Systems. 2 Data released by the National Electricity Energy Agency (ANEEL) 3 Experts consulted include IEA, S&P and BNEF 4 Experts consulted include IEA, SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association), American Clean Power Association, S&P and Bloomberg New Energy Finance | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Business environment| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 29| | | | | | | | | | | investments and strengthening the domestic supply chain. However, following Trump's re-election, there are concerns that the US's climate ambitions could be rolled back. Despite these concerns, an outright repeal of the IRA is unlikely according to experts, given the popularity of its tax credits and the economic benefits they bring to many Republican-leaning states. According to preliminary figures from Wind Europe, approximately 15 GW of wind capacity may have been commissioned in Europe in 2024, a decrease from 18.3 GW in 2023. The EU only added 13 GW of wind capacity in 2024, significantly below the 30 GW per year required to meet its 2030 energy targets. However, there are reasons for optimism. Onshore wind permitting reached record levels in the first half of 2024, driven largely by new EU permitting rules and progress in implementing the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). Additionally, Europe awarded 37 GW of wind in 2024, more than ever before, and turbine orders also saw improvements during the same period. Germany was the largest market, installing 3.2 GW of onshore wind, of which, around a third, came from repowering projects. In addition, 14 GW of wind were permitted in 2024 and 11 GW were awarded in auctions1. Other major onshore markets in 2024 include Finland, France, Spain and Sweden. In the UK, the National Energy System Independent Operator (NESO) reported that in 2024, wind was the largest source of electricity generation in the country for the first time in its history, representing 30% of total generation. In South America, Brazil remains the largest wind market, with record additions of 4.3 GW2. This growth could bring Brazil’s total installed capacity to more than 34 GW, making it the country’s second-largest generating technology, after large-scale hydro. Offshore According to experts3, between 14 and 21 GW of new offshore wind projects could have been commissioned across the world. Developers still struggle with higher costs, supply chain constraints and regulatory uncertainty. China is expected to be the largest contributor after the government prioritized offshore wind in its 14th Five-year Plan. Experts forecast that around 9-14 GW could have been added in the country. According to Wind Europe preliminary data, Europe commissioned 2.3 GW of offshore wind capacity, less than the 3.8 GW witnessed in 2023. Most of this capacity was installed in Germany, France and the UK. 2024: a record-breaking year for solar PV global installations 2024 is on course to become another record-breaking year for solar PV, with the IEA forecasting around 505 GW of new installed capacity, a 18.5% increase compared to 2023. Solar PV accounted for nearly three-quarters of all renewable energy additions globally, highlighting its pivotal role in the transition to clean energy. According to preliminary forecasts, around 60% of new solar PV capacity would be utility-scale projects and the remaining ones small-scale (mainly residential and commercial systems). China is expected to have significantly expanded its solar PV capacity in 2024, installing approximately 277 GW according to data released by China’s National Energy Administration (NEA). With these results, China consolidates its position as the largest player in the global solar PV industry, both in terms of manufacturing and installed capacity. Its dominance is a result of comprehensive policy initiatives, massive investments and economies of scale. India also saw a great surge in solar installations in 2024. Only in the first six months of 2024, India had already installed more solar capacity than it did in the whole 2023, (15 GW vs 10 GW in 2023) reaching 24,5 GW at the end of 2024. In the US, approximately 38-43 GW of solar PV capacity could have been added in 2024, according to analysts consulted4. Solar PV is the fastest-growing source of electricity in the US, making up almost half of all new power capacity in the first three quarters of 2024. As reported by the American Clean Power Association, 19.5 GW of utility-scale solar capacity was commissioned during the first three quarters of 2024, more than twice the amount installed by the same time in 2023. In 2024, the EU achieved a record-breaking installation of 65.5 GW of solar capacity, marking a 4% increase compared to 2023, as reported by Solar Power Europe. Solar PV has surpassed in 2024 all other technologies in terms of new capacity added, bringing the EU's total operational solar power capacity to 338 GW. After several years of remarkable growth, with a 41-53% increase observed between 2021 and 2023, the sector has experienced a significant slowdown in deployment. According to Solar Power Europe, this deceleration is attributed to the stabilization of energy bills for 1 Analysts consulted include S&P, BNEF and Wood MacKenzie | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Business environment| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 30| | | | | | | | | | | consumers, along with other challenges such as permitting issues, grid bottlenecks, limited energy system flexibility, and low power prices, particularly during solar PV hours, which impact profitability. At the national level, Solar Power Europe reported that five of the top ten EU solar markets—Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, Austria, and Hungary—installed less solar capacity in 2024 compared to 2023\. In contrast, Germany, Italy, France, Greece and Portugal achieved modest increases, with most adding approximately 1 GW more than the previous year. Germany continues to lead the European solar PV market, adding 16.2 GW of new capacity in 2024, according to the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA). These additions bring the country's total installed capacity to nearly 100 GW, accounting for approximately 14% of its electricity consumption. In South America, Brazil remains a leader in solar energy, surpassing 50 GW of operational solar capacity in 2024. With this milestone, Brazil joins an elite group of six countries—China, the United States, Germany, India, and Japan—that have achieved over 50 GW of installed solar capacity. Storage and flexibility: key drivers for a resilient and decarbonized energy future The global energy system is undergoing a profound transformation, driven primarily by the increasing share of renewable energy, the deployment of distributed energy resources, and progress in digitalization. However, to successfully achieve the clean energy transition and ensure secure and resilient power systems, flexibility must be integrated throughout the entire system. Energy system flexibility refers to the ability to adjust supply and demand to achieve an energy balance. It has become a critical priority because larger shares of variable renewables (in particular wind and solar PV) increase the potential for imbalances, curtailment and negative prices. There are different tools and technologies to increase flexibility, including electricity storage, stronger grids, demand-side response and dispatchable lower-emissions sources of power. The global energy storage market has been rapidly increasing since 2020 and is set for another record year, with experts forecasting around 64-69 GW of additions 1, of which around 50% would be in China. Hydro pumped storage remains the dominant form of energy storage today, accounting for the majority of global storage capacity. As a mature and well-established technology, it plays a crucial role in balancing supply and demand, providing grid stability, and supporting the integration of renewable energy. By using surplus electricity to pump water to a higher elevation and then releasing it to generate power when needed, hydro pumped storage has been a reliable and efficient solution for decades. However, as the energy landscape evolves, new storage technologies, such as batteries, are emerging to complement hydro pumped storage. Batteries—particularly lithium-ion batteries—are becoming an increasingly vital component of energy systems. Their widespread deployment could transform the global energy landscape by enabling sustainable technologies to meet demand, ultimately reducing global emissions and accelerating the transition to clean energy. Batteries are also versatile, serving both grid-scale applications and smaller, behind-the-meter uses in residential and commercial settings to optimize energy consumption. As battery costs continue to fall due to lower raw material prices and expanded manufacturing capacity, they are becoming more cost-competitive, with further reductions anticipated as electric vehicle production scales up. However, challenges remain. Energy storage must be integrated into national energy plans, with dedicated support mechanisms established to ensure long-term revenue stability and predictability. A well-designed market, including effective capacity markets and flexible market mechanisms, is also essential to fully unlock the potential of storage. In the context of European market design, the development of such markets will be crucial to promote efficient integration of storage technologies and enhance grid stability. Furthermore, conducting comprehensive flexibility assessments will be key to optimizing the role of storage in balancing supply and demand. Additionally, diversifying and strengthening supply chains is crucial, as battery production is currently concentrated in specific regions, posing potential security of supply risks. Grid infrastructure and interconnectors are vital for flexibility, as they enable electricity to flow across countries and within national borders, helping to balance geographic fluctuations in wind and solar power generation. While global investments in grids have significantly increased in recent years, delays in grid improvements and extensions remain a major obstacle to the wider deployment of renewable energy. However, these challenges can be addressed through: (i) long-term grid planning, (ii) anticipatory investments, (iii) faster permitting processes, (iv) implementation of smart grid technologies, and (v) new mechanisms to reduce connection backlogs, among other measures. In 2024, at COP 29, countries acknowledged that energy storage and grid infrastructure are essential for building resilient and decarbonized energy systems. This was crystallized in their commitment to (i) achieving 1,500 GW of energy storage in the global power sector by 2030, more than six times the level in 2022, and (ii) enhancing grid capacity through a global goal of adding or refurbishing 25 million kilometres of grid infrastructure by 2030. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Business environment| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 31| | | | | | | | | | | 2.1.3. Regulatory framework Renewables Portugal Remuneration scheme • Wind farms commissioned before 2006 are subject to a Feed-in-tariff (FiT) whose value is correlated with production and indexed to CPI.

After the end of the suspension of the generation tax in Spain, the application of the clawback mechanism was resumed in Portugal. As the Spanish Government determined the phased reintroduction of that tax regime, for 2024 a similar phased payment was defined following the evolution in Spain. Concerning the retail activity, the scope of application of the reduced VAT rate on electricity consumption has been expanded for contracted power up to 6.9 kVA for consumption up to 200 kWh, increased to 300 kWh for large families, effective from 1 January 2025. In the electricity tariffs, the regulator (ERSE) carried out an exceptional tariff review for the period from June to December 2024, with an increase of €33/MWh in the network access tariffs (TAR) for low voltage normal (BTN), offset by a decrease, of the same magnitude, in the energy Tariff, resulting into a marginal reduction of the BTN tariff of 0.1%. Regarding the overall evolution of TAR, there was an average increase of €21/MWh. For 2025, an increase in the BTN tariff of 2.1% was approved, and an average price for the TAR of €95/MWh for BTN and €60/MWh for the average consumers was established. The tariff debt of the electricity sector amounted to €1,995m at the end of 2024, as a result of the intertemporal transfer of €1,717m of the costs of general economic interest (CIEG) in the 2024 tariffs. Regarding gas tariffs, for the gas year 2024-2025, ERSE approved an increase in the transitory tariff to the end users of 6.9% and an increase in the TAR across the various pressure levels of 12.9%, on average, to be in force between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025.

Brazil Regarding the liberalization of the Brazilian power market, since January 2024 consumers with less than 500kW load and voltage levels equal to or greater than 2,3kV, represented by retailers, can choose their own energy suppliers. The Ministry of Mines and Energy launched a Public Consultation to discuss the market liberalization for low voltage consumers from 2026. To choose their energy supplier, low voltage consumers must also be represented by a retailer. The result of this Public Consultation has not yet been published. The approval of Law 14.300/22 constituted the regulatory framework for mini and micro distributed generation in Brazil. The Law established a transition period after which distributed generation will have to start paying for the grid fees according to the amount of electricity injected into the grid. The enactment of this Law brings legal security and regulatory stability to foster these investments, incentivizing clean energy sources. The main topics addressed by the Law are: • Existent distribution generation (grid fees exemption until 2045): mini and micro distributed generation already installed will only pay a partial grid fee if there is a positive difference between the total energy consumption and the energy production injected into the grid. Also, mini and micro distributed generation that have requested access to the grid until January 6th, 2023, can benefit from the exemption regime. • New distributed generation (tariff transition): the Law created a transition period, varying from 6 to 8 years, for new distributed generation to gradually pay for grid fees until 2028. The subsidy is matched by resources from Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético - CDE. Networks Portugal In the electricity distribution activity, a Commission was created with the aim of presenting to the member of the Government responsible for the energy sector, by 15 December 2024, a new proposal for the timetable and guidelines for the competitive procedure for the award of LV concessions (revoking the dates foreseen in the Resolution of the Council of Ministers 27/2024, of February 23). Spain By means of the Resolution of December 21, 2023, of the CNMC, a transitional remuneration regime was set for the year 2024, applying the remuneration approved by Order TED/749/2022, of July 27, to the settlements of that year. This regime was established without prejudice to the effects on the remuneration of said year derived from the contentious-administrative appeals filed against Order TED/490/2022, of May 31. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Business environment| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 40| | | | | | | | | | | The Resolution of December 21, 2023, of the CNMC, regarding the activity of electricity distribution, established the value of the global index of ratios for 2024. By the Resolution of January 18, 2024, the CNMC established the methodology for calculating the adjustment to the annual remuneration of electricity distribution companies for the use of optical fiber in activities other than electricity distribution. By the Resolution of January 25, 2024, of the Secretary of State for Energy, it was agreed to hold a capacity contest under the terms established in Royal Decree 1183/2020, of December 29, at the Pesoz 400 kV (Asturias), Juia 220 kV (Catalonia), Jundiz 220 kV (Basque Country), and Vitoria 220 kV (Basque Country) nodes. By means of Order TED/113/2024, of February 9, the prices applicable to the different tariff segments of the electrical system charges were established as of February 15, 2024. Order TED/345/2024, of April 9, established the regulatory framework for the procedure and the guiding requirements for granting access capacity to evacuate electricity for synchronous electricity generation modules from renewable sources or synchronous storage installations at the just transition nodes Garoña 220 kV, Guardo 220 kV, Lada 400 kV, Mudéjar 400 kV, and Robla 400 kV. Resolution of May 16, 2024, of the CNMC, approved the formats for the new information exchange files between electricity distributors and marketers. By Resolution of June 19, 2024, of the Secretary of State for Energy, it was agreed to hold a capacity contest for a total of 49 nodes of the transmission network. By Resolution of June 27, 2024, of the CNMC, the remuneration adjustment for the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 was established for electricity transmission and distribution companies for the use of regulated assets and resources in activities other than the transmission and distribution of electricity. By means of the Resolution of July 31, 2024, of the CNMC, the new remuneration amount for the electricity distribution activity for the year 2020 was set. Resolution of November 28, 2024, of the CNMC, established the value of the Global Index of Ratios for the year 2025 (IGR2025) for companies engaged in electricity transmission and distribution, as well as transportation, regasification, underground storage, and distribution of natural gas. Orders TED/1471/2024, TED1469/2024 and TED/1470/2024, of December 19, approved, respectively, the bases of the tender at the Narcea 400 kV, Meirama 220 kV, and La Pereda 220 kV just transition nodes. Brazil In May 2024, ANEEL opened Public Consultation 08/2024, with the aim of obtaining contributions regarding the regulation of Decree 11.314/22. Additionally, in December 2024, ANEEL opened the second phase of the Public Consultation 08/2024, to obtain contributions on the compensation of expiring concessions. On June 21, 2024, Decree 12.068/24 was published, containing the guidelines to be followed for the extension of electricity distribution concessions. Among the guidelines of the Decree, the possibility of extending the concession for another 30 years without cost stands out, provided that the concessionaires meet the minimum criteria for service quality and financial sustainability, and the possibility of anticipating the effects of the extension provided that it is requested within 30 days from the publication of the draft of the addendum to the concession contract. The rules are valid for contracts expiring between 2025 and 2031. On October 15, 2024, ANEEL opened the Public Consultation 27/2024, with the aim of discussing the draft of the Addendum to the Concession Contract for electricity distributors. The agents submitted their contributions to the Public Consultation and are awaiting for the publication of the final draft contract Addendum. With regard to transmission companies, Decree 11.314/22 determined that transmission concessions are to face new bidding processes at the end of their contractual term, being the concession renewal the exception (unfeasibility of bidding or in case of any prejudice for the public interest). This Decree was preceded by a Public Consultation opened by the MME in which EDP included some contributions. Between 2024 and 2032, 24 transmission concession agreements will expire. It is worth noting that EDP's first transmission contract expires in January 2043. 1 IIA Institute of Internal Auditors, Position Paper, [The IIA’s Three Lines Model: An update of the Three Lines of Defense](https://www.theiia.org/globalassets/documents/resources/the-iias-three-lines-model-an-update-of-the-three-lines-of-defense-july-2020/three-lines-model-updated-english.pdf), July 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 41| | | | | | | | | | | 2.2. Risk management 2.2.1. Risk governance model The EDP Group adopts a risk governance model, widely accepted in most relevant literature, that relies on the idea of three internal lines of defence for the organisation - which can be supplemented, in certain situations, by a fourth external line of defence, in the form of external auditing and regulation/ supervision 1. The Three Lines of Defence Risk Governance Model Each line of defence has designated entities and forums that are officially set up to implement each line of defence at Corporate, Platform and Region levels, preventing any overlap or omission and encouraging collaboration and coordination between the different areas. Risk management is embodied by the Risk Business Enablement Function (RISK), encompassed by overarching Centres of Excellence (CoE) and Platform Business Partners (BP), ensuring fluid articulation and communication throughout EDP regarding the main sources of exposure and risk mitigation measures. Additionally, Regional focal points are also defined to ensure an overarching perspective of the risk of each region and serve as a link to the Region organization. Moreover, the group has several Risk Committees, where top management and relevant specialists meet to examine, discuss, and advise on key risk exposures for the group, their limits and mitigation actions. The Internal Audit Business Enablement Function, as the third line of defence, performs internal audits on the group’s processes that manage, control, and monitor the different risks it faces. To do this, annually, it decides which audit activities should be part of the next year's activity plan, based on, among other things, the inputs and concerns of the first and second lines of defence. In this regard, for 2024, the Internal Audit Business Enablement Function did internal audits to the risk management process, giving continuity to the verification initiated in 2023 of the operationalization of the counterparty risk management policy in the main business units of the EDP Group, carrying out specific assignments regarding the EDP Group Risk Appetite Framework Policy and executing internal audits on other topics, such as security and cybersecurity or compliance with policies and procedures promoted by the second lines in the areas of Compliance and Internal Control. The Head of the Internal Audit Business Enablement Function is part of the Risk Committees, thus facilitating the monitoring of projects carried out by RISK. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 42| | | | | | | | | | | RISK regularly meets with the General and Supervisory Board (GSB) and the Financial Matters Committee (FMC) to monitor the effectiveness of the risk management system. The Financial Matters Committee defines in its annual planning sessions dedicated to monitoring the main exposures and risk management issues, addressing matters related to financial, strategic, ESG, business and operational risks. In 2024, RISK had three meetings with the General and Supervisory Board, three with the Financial Matters Committee and the yearly meeting of the Audit Committees, addressing several risk issues, namely the monitoring of EDP’s main exposures and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), an overview of the RISK execution plan (financial and non-financial risks, including ESG risks with detail on climate risks), risk reporting mechanisms, ESG investments criteria, long- term contracting strategy, foreign exchange risk management policy, risk appetite framework review and RISK strategic priorities for 2025\. In June 2023, a presentation was also made to this Commission on the project that began in 2024 to prepare the company for the Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), regarding the Internal Control System for Sustainability Reporting (ICSSR), as well as climate risk analysis and the ESG risk framework. EDP’s external audits also contribute to assess the degree of internal compliance with the risk management system. The last external audit took place in 2022 and focused on assessing the level of maturity of the Enterprise Risk Management system at Group and Business Unit levels. A description of those involved in the EDP Group's risk governance model, as well as their respective responsibilities, is available in the Corporate Governance Report and, in more detail, on the EDP website: [EDP Group Risk Governance Model | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-group/risk-management#risk-governance-model). Corporate Functions 2 These include, among others, the [Enterprise Risk Management Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-group/risk-management#risk-management-policy), the Risk Appetite Framework Policy, the Energy Risk Management Policy, the [Financial Management Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-group/financial-management-policy), the Counterparty Risk Policy, the Insurable Risk Management Policy, the [Occupational Health and Safety Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/health-and-safety-work-policy), the [Information Security ](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-group/information-security-policy) [Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-group/information-security-policy) and the [Business Continuity Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/investors/corporate-governance/business-continuity-policy). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 43| | | | | | | | | | | 2.2.2. Risk appetite The EDP Group is exposed to several risks due to its size and diversity of businesses and geographies in which it operates. Therefore, it recognises risk-taking as an integral and unavoidable component of its activity, both in terms of threat and opportunity. In this context, the group explicitly and implicitly establishes its risk appetite with its stakeholders, at Corporate and Platform/ Region level, through a series of mechanisms: • the development and periodic approval by the Executive Board of Directors of the group's Business Plan, which sets out and explains the main strategic guidelines over a three-to-five- year horizon • rigorous assessment of the risk associated with investment and divestment opportunities carried out by the Regions and approved by the Executive Board of Directors, supported by the opinion of the Investment Committee • the development of risk management policies, establishing guidelines, assessment methodologies and exposure limits for key risks 2 • periodic risk maps based on objective, quantitative and comparable criteria, with the aim of analysing exposure to the most relevant risks and taking preventive action to deal with excessive exposure in relation to the established risk tolerance • the development of periodic risk reports for the main risk categories, making it possible to regularly monitor the evolution of current and emerging risks and compare the various exposures against the established limits. Dissemination of said reports in line with the group's strategy and performance metrics to the Executive Board of Directors and General and Supervisory Board • the definition of an internal Risk Appetite Framework, approved by the Executive Board of Directors. The EDP Group's risk appetite framework is structured around four pillars: • the governance model identifies the main players in the risk appetite process and their responsibilities • the risk appetite statement formally defines a set of risk appetite statements complemented by risk indicators and thresholds. In terms of positioning, the group has established maintaining a controlled risk profile as a fundamental pillar of its strategy • monitoring and follow-up, defining the key processes of monitoring, update and action plan • and the reporting platform, embodied in a risk appetite dashboard, that allows the EDP Group's risk appetite to be monitored. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 44| | | | | | | | | | | 2.2.3.

At the forefront of this strategy is the annual mapping of risks, complemented by monthly interim updates, to identify, quantify and prioritise the risks of the different categories of the risk taxonomy. The quarterly risk appetite dashboard is a vital tool that systematically assesses the company's risk exposure, comparing the value of the Key Risk Indicators with the limits defined in the Risk Appetite Statement. In the table above are some examples of these limits, within brackets. In addition, RISK prepares a monthly report focused on monitoring the exposures for all the risk limits, which is presented and discussed in the Risk Monitoring Committee. At a platform level, there are dedicated reports for monitoring risk, focused on more operational metrics, some of which updated daily. To reinforce the risk monitoring infrastructure, EDP has a Global Risk Committee, which includes four annual meetings, as well as other dedicated risk committees (Risk Monitoring Committee & Financial Risk Committee). These committees play a key role in monitoring risk exposure and defining risk mitigation policies and measures, as well as discussing new analysis and policies. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 46| | | | | | | | | | | 2.2.4.

Main risks for 2025 EDP Group seeks to have a comprehensive view over the key risks it is exposed to, at strategic and ESG, business, financial and operational levels, establishing processes to ensure their monitoring and proactive management. The year 2024 was marked by a relevant decline in energy prices, after the significantly high prices from the European energy crisis. The financial markets also continued with high uncertainty regarding inflation, interest rates and exchange rate. Risk management reaffirmed its importance, playing an essential role in this disruptive context. A detailed description of the various risks relevant to the EDP Group is available on the EDP website: [Risk Taxonomy | Risk Management](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-group/risk-management#risk-taxonomy). The table below details the risks expected to have the greatest potential impact on the group's EBITDA in 2025, in an adverse scenario. Macro Categories of EDP's Risk Taxonomy | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 48| | | | | | | | | | | Risks | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Risk Description | Evolution compared to 2024 | Mitigation Measures (not exhaustive) 1 | Capital Gains on Asset Rotation| Reduction of capital gains expected from asset rotation activity due to a decrease in the value of assets, because of lower market appetite, a generalised rise in interest rates, lower energy prices or exchange rate variations.| ↗ | • Diversification of asset rotation across different geographies (Europe, North America, South America, APAC, etc.) and currencies (EUR, USD, BRL, PLN, etc.).• Exchange rate risk hedging (Net Investment and transactional), within the framework of the group's financial risk management policy.• Financing structure in the different currencies (namely variable rate percentage and duration) aligned with the characteristics of the assets, offering risk mitigation to interest rate hikes. 2 | Renewable Production Volumes| The EDP Group has a material degree of exposure to variations in renewable energy generation volumes, particularly regarding hydro volume, but also wind and solar. A dry year and/or a year with lower wind or solar resources can have a negative impact on the company's results.| ↘ | • Geographical and production portfolio diversification.• Long net position in the various markets, with continuous monitoring, protecting the company from the risk of becoming over hedged even in scenarios where there are low renewable resources.• For Iberia, compensating for lower hydro years with greater thermal production.• Appraisal of instruments to hedge the volume of renewable generation (hydro and wind). 3 | Commodity Prices | Changes in commodity prices, essentially due to market exposure in Iberia to electricity, coal, gas and CO2 prices, but also in EDPR's other markets (residual exposure not covered by PPA). These changes may be due to various factors, namely fluctuations arising from supply and demand dynamics or regulatory changes (national or international) and may impact the company's results.| ↘ | • EDP's business with a high percentage of forward contracts with PPAs, being very protected from price variations within these contracts.• Integration of generation with retail in several of the most important geographies.• Prudent management strategy for residual energy not covered by PPAs, by the Global Energy Management Unit, which negotiates and manages coal, gas and CO 2 licence contracts, and is also responsible for mitigating price risk via hedging (including exchange rate risk in US dollars, in coordination with the Corporate Finance). 4 | Physical Assets under Construction| Risk associated with CAPEX deviations and/or COD delay beyond what was estimated in the investment decision, leading to potential impacts on the current year (less revenue and more costs) and on the profitability of investments. This risk is mostly concentrated in Renewables investments due to the proportion of new investments foreseen in the Business Plan.| ↘ | • Timely contacting of equipment and EPC, to reduce the risk of cost increases or unavailability of the supply chain after commitments to projects have been made.• Introduction of a buffer between the expected COD and the PPA start, to reduce the risk of incurring penalties and/ or the need to purchase energy to fulfil the contract.• Prudence in defining contingencies and assumptions of stress analysis (COD and CAPEX deviation) in the investment decision-making process. 5 | Counterparty | Risk associated with the potential default (or increase in relation to the expected level of default) of contractual obligations from customers, energy counterparties, financial counterparties (essentially associated with deposits with financial institutions and financial derivatives) and / or suppliers.| ↘ | • Diversification of counterparties, with limits on the concentration and percentage of exposures below Investment Grade.• Careful analysis of counterparties, differentiating risk limits between counterparties, promoting contracts with those with the best credit quality.• Continuous monitoring of the evolution of the credit quality of the group's counterparties.• Use of counterparty risk mitigation instruments, such as financial guarantees, clearing and credit insurance.• Implementation of credit risk premiums in contracts where the EDP Group is a price-setter, differentiating between counterparties and compensating for Expected Losses. 6 | Regulation | Risks related to legislative and regulatory changes that the group is obliged to comply with in the different geographies and markets in which it operates (namely sector packages, regulatory models, environmental legislation, taxes and other). Adverse regulatory changes could have a negative impact on the company's results.| ↘ | • High business diversification both geographically and in the energy value chain.• Proactive management through careful monitoring and preparation of the several dossiers, as well as the adoption of a constructive and cooperative stance when discussing them, making it possible to anticipate and minimise the materialisation of options that are unsuited to the reality of the various market contexts in which the group operates. The quantification of EDP's risks is based on the potential loss in EBITDA, in a P95% scenario, estimated through the application of Monte Carlo simulations. Monte Carlo simulation, through the definition of probabilistic distributions for each risk factor/variable, allows to simulate possible future outcomes; for each simulation, different values are randomly generated for each of the probability distributions of the various risk variables (inputs). The result of a Monte Carlo simulation is a probability distribution, i.e., a representation of the different possible future outcomes and their probability of occurrence. In addition, EDP also makes a qualitative assessment of the potential financial impact and probability/ likelihood of each risk, and the impact matrix for the main risks identified above is presented in the next page (EDP Group Risk Heatmap). EDP favours risk management based on quantitative analysis and continuous monitoring of the risks that may affect its business. For this purpose, the company regularly carries out sensitivity analyses of financial and non-financial risks, as well as analyses of stressed scenarios, using Monte Carlo analysis, or focusing on some specific stress scenarios. As an example, every year, when analysing the risk of the budget for the following year, EDP carries out a sensitivity analysis of various risk factors, namely renewable volume (hydro, wind and solar), electricity price, gas price, electricity demand, inflation, exchange rate, inflation rate, among other | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 49| | | | | | | | | | | specific operational sensitivities for the different markets which impact EDP's business. The impact on EDP's EBITDA of the variation in some risk factors is presented below, namely: • Hydro volume: a significant risk factor for EDP given its portfolio and high volatility of the variable, impacting the company's generation capacity. Assuming a price of €80/MWh, a 20% reduction in the expected volume impacts EDP's EBITDA by ≈€100-140m. It should be noted that EDP's financial performance in 1Q2022 was strongly impacted by the extreme drought in Portugal in the winter of 2021/2022 (≈-30% compared to the historical average hydro production) • Unavailability of assets: assuming an average 1% reduction in the availability of all EDP's generation assets (conventional and renewable), the impact on EDP would be ≈€30-40m. Also, in the process of evaluating risk in the budget exercise, as a way of assessing execution risk, stress analyses are carried out using Monte Carlo analysis. This type of analysis is applied to EBITDA, EBT, NI, FFO/ND and all relevant output variables at group level and broken down by platform, technology, Business Unit, among others. In addition, liquidity/solvency stress analysis are also carried out to assess the company's ability to continue operating in a highly stressful situation, i.e., to maintain sufficient liquidity/cash levels to continue operating. Two different scenarios are considered (generalised liquidity crisis scenario for 1 year and EDP-specific stress scenario for 2 years), for which the company's ability to survive is assessed. EDP must have available liquidity, in cash and available credit lines, to cover these stress scenarios. A climate risk analysis exercise is also carried out every year using 3 different scenarios, which can be consulted in greater detail in EDP's Sustainability Statement.

Emerging risks In addition to closely monitoring the main risks inherent to the group's activity, the main trends (at global and sectoral level) that may translate into threats and opportunities for the group are also comprehensively mapped, and appropriate mitigation strategies are proactively developed. In 2024, the mapping of emerging risks was updated, with an assessment by the EDP Group's top, executive and non-executive management. In 2024, the following stand out: (1) economic wars and sanctions impacting EDP’s geographies; (2) military conflicts causing business instability; (3) climate risks from extreme weather, reduced precipitation, and regulatory transitions; (4) weakening climate transition efforts; (5) rising cyberattacks threatening operations; (6) labour shortages in renewable energy; and (7) changes in the insurance landscape with higher costs and reduced coverage. | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | Description | | Potential Impacts | | Mitigation Measures | Economic Wars and Tensions at Global Level leading to sanctions/ tariffs in EDP geographies | | | Increasing use of economic tools, policies, and sanctions as instruments of geopolitical competition. Instead of traditional warfare, nations leverage trade restrictions, tariffs, currency manipulation, and supply chain disruptions to achieve strategic objectives or assert dominance.| | • The intensification of economic wars and geopolitical tensions presents a risk for EDP, especially in the context of the energy sector. These disputes, often manifesting as sanctions, tariffs, and other trade barriers, can disrupt supply chains, inflate costs, and limit market access.| | • Geographical and business diversification.• Value chain diversification by contracting different equipment suppliers in different geographical areas (e.g., First Solar in the United States).• Geographical Risk Appetite: establishment of limits for investment in specific geographies.• Establishment of Frame Agreements with main equipment suppliers to secure future MWs volume (with fixed price). • Compliance Integrity Due Diligence screening of most relevant stakeholders.• Financial counterparty analysis for all relevant counterparties with exposure limits depending on the risk level.• Continuous monitoring of geopolitical events with external advisors (identifying and quantifying main potential risks).• Duty of Care in the process of being updated for travelling collaborators. | Military Conflict between World Powers leading to business environment instability | | | Significant risk to the global business environment by creating widespread instability. Escalations between major nations can disrupt trade routes, supply chains, and critical resource access, leading to market volatility and economic uncertainty. | | • Trigger of widespread economic disruptions, including supply chain interruptions restricting access to key resources, increased commodity prices, heightened market volatility.| | Climate risks, Physical extreme events and precipitation reduction, regulatory transition risks| | | Adverse effects of climate change include extreme weather events, chronic changes in physical parameters, and the economic, regulatory, social, and technological shifts required for a low-carbon future.| | • Continuous rise in the number and severity of extreme weather events worldwide (e.g., storms, wildfires, heavy precipitation and floods, and landslides events). Reliability of infrastructure to more frequent and severe extreme climate events and overall costs increase (inc. insurance) are major risks. | | • Structured climate risks assessment (TCFD) and integration of climate criteria in investment analysis (project in development) with support tool (from Swiss Re). • Reduction of hydro share in EDP portfolio.• Prudent energy management through long positions to safeguard against extreme weather conditions.• Development of specific climate adaption plans, for example:◦ Revision of the dam safety plan in Brazil.◦ Greater involvement with suppliers to ensure the resilience of assets.• Replacement of conventional grids with compact grids. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 51| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | Description | | Potential Impacts | | Mitigation Measures | Weakening Climate Transition Efforts| | | The energy transition faces a growing risk from waning political support, which can adversely affect policy stability, funding, and long-term investment in renewable energy projects. Political shifts or a lack of consensus may result in delays or rollbacks of critical initiatives, creating uncertainty for stakeholders and undermining momentum. This challenge is further compounded by increasing social resistance to project approvals, as local communities increasingly oppose new developments due to perceived environmental, economic, or social impacts. Such opposition is often driven by misinformation or inadequate stakeholder engagement, further delaying the deployment of essential energy infrastructure. Together, these factors jeopardize the pace and success of the energy transition, hindering global efforts to combat climate change and achieve sustainable energy systems.| | • Delayed EDP projects in countries where environmental requirements are increased.• Cancellation of EDP projects in pipeline that are not profitable with a reduction in incentives (e.g., tax credits).• Increase in curtailment for operational EDP assets in case there is a lower investment in preparing networks for a decentralized generation world.• Community resistance (Not In My Backyard) and misinformation slow infrastructure deployment and strain relationships, limiting projects’ development and risking reputational damage. • Regulatory uncertainty complicates compliance and adds financial pressure.• Hindered progress toward sustainability goals, reduce access to green financing, and divert resources from innovation, affecting long-term competitiveness .| | • Close monitoring of regulatory evolution and active participation in discussions at international & national levels.• Geographic diversification (top EBITDA per country: 40% Portugal, 18% Spain, 17%, United States, 19% Brazil) and Technological diversification (top EBITDA per technology: 32% wind, 29% grids, 24% hydro, 8% solar).• Introduction of contractual buffers or merchant nose periods between CODs and PPA start dates to mitigate the possible impact of COD delays due to environmental permits.• Exposure limits to offshore business.• Limits to investment in projects that still have not reached the Final Investment Decision. | Increase in Cyber- attacks | | | EDP, as an energy utility company, has become heavily reliant on its digital infrastructure for efficient operations and service delivery. However, this increased technological sophistication and integration also heightens its exposure to various types of cyber risks.EDP is actively pursuing a digital transformation to further enhance business performance, with cyber resilience as a key component. Despite all the efforts made by organizations, there is probable risk that cyber-attacks become more frequent and with higher magnitude.| | • The economic and reputational impact of cybersecurity issues remains a concern, with the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks expected to continue rising. The impact may affect both IT and OT levels (e.g., attacks on EDP’s generation and distribution assets), particularly in the following areas:◦ Losses resulting from the unavailability of critical EDP systems (e.g., dispatch/plants, billing, customer service).◦ In extreme cases, damage or destruction to physical assets and potential harm to human lives.◦ Data breaches or data loss (personal and other sensitive information).◦ Fines incurred due to GDPR violations.◦ Increased costs driven by higher investments in cybersecurity measures.◦ Damage to EDP’s reputation in the event of a cyberattack that affects power availability or compromises data privacy.| | • Dedicated Global SOC (ISO 27001 certified) for continuous security monitoring, detection, and response for the group's IT and OT infrastructure. • Cyber Executive Committee with top management participation.• Online and in-person training sessions, phishing simulations, and cyber exercises.• Cyber risk insurance.• Ongoing compliance initiatives to adhere to various and dispersed regulations.• Implementation of a Zero Trust Cybersecurity roadmap based on five key pillars: Security by Design, Resilient Architecture, Integration and Automation, Uniform Governance, Risk and Compliance, and Human Behaviour Security.• Specific OT cybersecurity roadmaps to address cyber risks in mission-critical infrastructures (e.g., networks, generation, energy management).• IT/OT Risk Project for identifying and managing the most critical IT/OT assets.• Participation at strategic, tactical, and operational levels in local and global cyber groups (e.g., World Economic Forum). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Risk management| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 52| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | Description | | Potential Impacts | | Mitigation Measures | Social Risk Gap in labour market and risk of unavailability of talent for renewable energy companies | | | The renewable energy sector is currently in a phase of rapid expansion, fuelled by a growing demand for clean energy solutions and government initiatives aimed at facilitating the transition to low-carbon economies. This increase in the renewable energy industry is expected to create a substantial demand for qualified professionals in various fields, such as engineering, project management, installation, and maintenance. At the same time, demographic trends indicate a projected decline in the working-age population in Europe, along with a stabilization in the United States. This demographic shift, along with a projected increase in the need for workers in renewable assets (which is expected to increase 3-4 times by 2030 in the EU), is set to result in a global shortage of skilled labour in the green economy, reaching 7 million by the year 2030, predominantly in the solar and wind sectors.This shortage of skilled labour represents a notable risk to EDP's business plan. The company has ambitious targets for the years 2023-26, with the aim of deploying approximately 17 gigawatts of additional renewable capacity, with an expected overall increase in the workforce of around 6%. Specifically, in the wind and solar sectors, a percentage increase in the number of employees of around 30% is expected. In the digital and innovation sectors, the expected increase in headcount is around 20%.| | • Increased competition in attracting and retaining talent, leading to more competitive and aggressive recruitment and retention strategies in the market.• Companies, such as EDP, will need to become more involved in strategic workforce planning to identify critical roles, assess skills gaps, and implement measures to mitigate the impact of workforce shortages. • Heavier investment in innovation and automation to reduce reliance on manual labour, streamline processes, and boost efficiency, as well as invest in research and development.• Delayed project deadlines and risk of execution of the Business Plan.• Increased global mobility of the workforce, attracting talent from regions where there is a surplus of qualified labour in the renewable energy sector, increasing global collaboration, and the diversity of the workforce.• Significant investment in training and development programs to improve the skills of current employees and prepare them for roles in the renewable energy sector.| | • Implement a proactive and strategic global recruitment strategy to attract young, qualified professionals by creating internship and apprenticeship programs that offer first-hand experience to students interested in the renewable energy sector, fostering long-term. relationships and retention, and more specific opportunities for experienced profiles.• Develop and implement strategies to retain existing skilled workers, offering competitive compensation packages, providing career development opportunities, and cultivating a positive work environment to minimize turnover and enhance knowledge management.• Conduct regular workforce needs assessments to identify critical roles and develop strategic learning plans to address skills gaps.• Allocate resources to comprehensive training programs, focusing on upskilling and reskilling existing workers to prepare them for roles in the renewable energy sector through partnerships with educational institutions, companies in the sector, or other strategic partners.• Promote a flexible, diverse, and inclusive workplace that welcomes and leverages the strengths of a diverse workforce, ensuring talent retention regardless of demographic or professional characteristics.• EDP has been working on innovative projects within automation to overcome the labour shortage challenge and to increase efficiency. It also advocates for government and institutional support through policies, incentives, and funding to bolster workforce development efforts. | Change in insurance landscape| | | The insurance landscape is shifting as insurers reevaluate coverage in a fast-changing environment. On one hand, increasingly severe natural disasters driven by climate change are leading to higher premiums, stricter exclusions, and reduced availability of coverage for events like floods, wildfires, and hurricanes. At the same time, the escalating frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks are prompting insurers to tighten policy terms, lower limits, and introduce exclusions for specific cyber outcomes (e.g., impact on physical assets). Additionally, heightened regulatory scrutiny and litigation risks related to environmental legal claims (e.g., concentration of chemical components) are causing insurers to reevaluate liability coverage, raising premiums or limiting options for affected industries.| | • The overall shift in insurance policies drives up expenses associated with securing adequate coverage or addressing existing risks, meaning that EDP will have a higher cost with insurance premiums and/or decrease the ability to mitigate risk through insurance.• Lack of protection for insurance also leads to additional costs with infrastructure fortification for EDP assets, advanced cybersecurity measures, and alternative risk transfer mechanisms to mitigate gaps in coverage and ensure business continuity.| | • Enhance Infrastructure Resilience, through investment in climate-resilient infrastructure and fortification of assets against extreme weather events to reduce vulnerability and potential damages.• Insure assets in bundles both of geographies (globally) and types of assets (e.g., generation and network assets), offering a more attractive portfolio which enables an improved negotiating stance (easier to ensure assets/ risks are not excluded).• Work closely with insurers to enable an accurate assessment of the asset base risks, avoiding that risk premiums and exclusions are inappropriate.• Implement robust cybersecurity measures, including advanced threat detection systems, regular vulnerability assessments, and employee training to mitigate cyber risks.• Diversify Risk Transfer Strategies, exploring alternative risk transfer mechanisms, such as catastrophe bonds, captives, or risk-sharing partnerships, to offset gaps in traditional insurance coverage.• Improve Risk Assessment and Planning, conducting regular risk evaluations and integrating advanced analytics to anticipate and prepare for emerging threats, including climate, cyber, and liability risks.• Engage in Stakeholder Collaboration, partnering with insurers and industry peers to advocate for fair and sustainable insurance solutions and share best practices for risk management.• Increase Compliance and Safety Standards, by proactively adhere to evolving regulations and improve safety protocols to minimize liability risks associated with hazardous substances and chemical components.• Build Financial Reserves for Self-Insurance, allocating financial resources to self-insure against high-probability risks, reducing reliance on external coverage. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Strategic Approach | Strategic priorities| | | | | | | Index| Part I| 53| | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.3.

Thermal generation Total: 3,975 Total: 3,975 Total: 3,965 Total: 8,623 Iberia • The Iberian thermal generation portfolio has an installed capacity of 3.8 GW, with most of the capacity being CCGT (76% or 2.9 GW) and coal (24% or 0.9 GW), and, residually, cogeneration (17MW). • Thermal generation decreased 62% compared to 2023 (-4.6 TWh), to 2.9TWh, reflecting the new 50%/50% partnership in Aboño Coal Plant in Spain (deconsolidated in December 2023), as well as the above-average performance of hydro production and EDP's trend towards producing energy from renewable sources. Brazil • In Brazil, 80% of Pecém plant was sold in 4Q23, therefore there is no thermal installed capacity in 2023 and 2024. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Performance | Business area performance| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 62| | | | | | | | | | | Supply Total: 8,316 Total: 8,580 Total: 68,849 Total: 69,303 Total: 564 Total: 591 Total: 4,514 Total: 5,025 Europe • 2024 was a year with a more stable context and normalization of prices to pre-crisis levels, but still challenging in terms of the commercialization of energy products and services. Over the past few years, the Energy Transition has gained even more prominence in all global forums, where countries and companies have come together to accelerate Net Zero environmental goals. • A greater focus on green energy and energy independence has increased the demand for more sustainable solutions, and, consequently, the prices of solar panels and Electric Charges have been affected. • In Portugal the regulated electricity business (operated by EDP under SU ELETRICIDADE) decreased 7% vs 2023 in number of clients to 860 thousand, consequently, the electricity sold decreased by 13%, to 2.6 TWh. • In the liberalized electricity business in Portugal, EDP saw a 7% reduction in number of clients to 3.5 million, and a reduction of 7% in the volumes sold to 15.9 TWh, reflecting also a decrease in customer consumption. • The liberalized gas business lost competitiveness, and therefore EDP portfolio of gas customers in Portugal reduced by 6% to 453 thousand, and volumes sold decreased by 23% to 1.7 TWh. • In Spain, EDP also registered a decrease of 13% in electricity sold to 8.3 TWh and a decrease of 2% in gas volume sold to 2.4 TWh. • In the services sector, among the main traditional services, emphasis should be placed on “Funciona” portfolio, which grew by 16% vs 2023 to 695 thousand customers and “EDP Saúde”, which registered a total number of 283 thousand customers in Portugal, 20% more than in 2023. • The commitment and the focus on to new services more focused on efficiency and energy transition remain, EDP positions itself as a brand that looks for offering to all its clients (residential, small and medium-sized companies, large business groups, and government entities) solutions that allow energetic autonomy and independence. Hence, solar DG and Electric Mobility are the present bet thinking about the future. In Iberia, EDP is proud of having installed 180 MWac of solar DG and 2,2 thousand chargers both public and private. • Regarding the ambition of geographical expansion, EDP has been investing in companies providing service related to solar DG, with the purchase of Enertel (Italy) in 2021, Soon Energy and Zielona (Poland) in 2022, and Enerdeal (Belgium and Luxembourg) in 2023. Therefore, during 2024 EDP installed 92 MWac in these countries. Brazil • The total volume of energy sold in 2024 increased by 73% to 5.2 TWh. • The focus on solar DG is also a reality in EDP Brasil, with 87 MWac installed in 2024. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Performance | Business area performance| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 63| | | | | | | | | | | • The customer portfolio in the liberalized market increased by 89% to 672. Risk outlook • Market price: high volatility of market prices (albeit with lower base values), including electricity prices, as well as fuel prices with an impact on the Energy Management activity. Potential differences in electricity and gas hedges in indices other than the original exposure (both gas and electricity) with basis risk (especially relevant in cases of energy crisis). • Risk on thermal revenue: possibility of a fall in thermal generation spreads. • Retail margin/market share: uncertainty regarding the evolution of retail margin or loss of market share, marketing of new products and services and potential deviations in demand vs. energy previously contracted. • Political/social risk in EDP geographies: risk of political uncertainty and instability in EDP geographies. • Counterparty: possibility of counterparties defaulting on their obligations (i.e., energy sales contracts, energy purchase contracts, equipment purchase contracts, among others). • Operation and availability of assets: uncertainty regarding damage to assets and/or loss of profits (including IT/OT failures), risk of delays in maintenance and construction due to logistical and supply chain constraints. • Legal & Compliance: uncertainty regarding legal & compliance processes outcome. • Liquidity risk: the risk of a sudden increase in liquidity needs (e.g., margin calls) that may exceed current sources of funding. Liquidity risk increased significantly with the energy crisis in Europe, however, in recent months it has shown a downward trend, associated with the reduction in market prices. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Performance | Business area performance| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 64| | | | | | | | | | | 3.1.2.

Share performance 3.3.1. Share EDP market price was €3.091 per share at the end of 2024, 32.1% below the €4.555 per share at the end of 2023. Based on the payment of dividends to shareholders released on April 10 th, 2024 (€0.195 per share), which implied a dividend yield of 6.3% (considering 2024’s year-end closing price), in 2024 EDP generated a total shareholder return (TSR) of -28.4%, assuming automatic reinvestment of the dividends received into new shares. 3.3.2. Market performance In 2024, European Equities benchmark index, Eurostoxx 600, yielded a positive TSR of +10.2% driven by strong corporate earnings, particularly in the luxury and banking sectors, optimism surrounding potential Russia-Ukraine peace talks, increased investor interest due to attractive stock valuations, and overall positive market sentiment that boosted capital inflows into European markets. The Eurostoxx600 exhibited total return of +2.2% (vs. +18% in 2023), reflecting a more challenging environment compared to the strong performance in the previous year. During 2024, European utilities performance was impacted by a strong decline in prices in the beginning of the year recovered in the second half of the year, bond yields increase in the first and last quarter and Europe and US political uncertainty led investors to favour growth in regulated assets in UK, Germany and US as opposed to renewables. In 2024, the global benchmark for clean energy-related businesses, S&P Global Clean Energy Index registered a TSR of -26%, mainly attributed to the underperformance of pure renewables companies compared to utilities, resulting mainly from volatility in energy prices, increase in bond yields, US presidential elections with uncertainty around the implications for the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and political uncertainty in Europe which negatively affected the index. EDP’s TSR of -28.4% in 2024 underperformed both European and Utilities benchmark Indexes, impacted by the sharp decline in EDPR’s stock price, which remains a key driver of the group’s performance. The continued underperformance of EDPR, impacted by the adverse of macroeconomic conditions and specific issues, including downward revision of 2024 guidance, exit the Colombian projects and lower asset rotation gains, partially compensated by EDP outperforming in hydro and gas.

The electricity sector plays a key role by leveraging renewables to electrify transport, buildings, and industry. Given its business nature, EDP is at the forefront of this collective effort, making it a core part of its global strategy. As a pioneer in the power sector, EDP was among the first companies to align its strategy with the CO2 reduction trajectory needed to meet global climate goals. In 2005, renewable energy accounted for only 21% of EDP’s generation portfolio. By 2024, this share has surpassed 95%, reflecting significant progress in decarbonization and strengthening EDP’s alignment with sustainable investment criteria. On the path to be all green by 2030, EDP is reinforcing its position as a global leader in the energy transition, driving the shift toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. At the heart of this strategy sits a Business Plan with global investments focused to boost sustainable growth over the longer term through scaling up renewables and reinforcing our position in electricity networks, all while supporting our employees, clients, communities, shareholders, and partners in achieving a climate positive world, in line with our ambition to be Net Zero in 2040. In 2024, EDP achieved its lowest ever Scope 1+2 emissions intensity at 29 gCO2e/ kWh, marking an 81% reduction compared to the baseline year 20201. Additionally, the overall absolute emissions decreased more than 40% across all scopes compared to 2020 (equivalent to ≈8 MtCO2e reduction). Scope 1: Emissions reduced 66% in the last 12 months, heavily influenced by a high hydro year, followed by the reduction in coal and CCGT generation (includes deconsolidation of Aboño and Pecém coal power plants2). Scope 2: Emissions decreased 19% YoY, considering only the technical losses, which was driven by lower electricity market emission factors. Scope 3: Although there were reductions on emissions from gas sold to clients and fuel and energy related activities, scope 3 emissions increased by 18%. While this was a year with higher renewables added (4.0 GW in 2024 vs 2.7 GW in 2023) and therefore higher emissions, EDP continued data quality improvement through more engagement with suppliers, in a sustained effort for a decarbonized supply chain. However, the main reason for the increase in Scope 3 emissions lies on the inclusion of emissions from EDP’s stakes in Aboño’s and Pecém’s coal power plants, no longer accounted for in Scope 1 after their deconsolidation2. 95% +8p.p. vs 2023 Renewables generation 42% vs 2020 Emission reduction 0.3% -4p.p. vs 2023 Revenues from coal 29 gCO2e/kWh -64% vs 2023 Scope 1 + 2 1\.

It aims to foster a culture of transparency, strengthen relationships, encourage active and effective participation, and minimize impacts, ensuring appropriate interaction with those stakeholders. Reflecting this commitment, EDP develops both a preventive and an engaging approach with communities. The preventive approach begins by assessing local communities, informing them about planned projects, and incorporating their input into action plans, which include supportive, developmental, energy transition-reinforcing measures. EDP has a set of pre-defined steps to follow during each project’s phase to ensure a successful local stakeholder engagement: Communities' complaints solved Human and labour rights incidents reported 100% 0 In 2021, EDP and Vestas joined forces to create the former Keep It Local program, renamed to Skills - Energy Professionals, with the objective to provide training within the energy sector to boost employment opportunities for young people living in rural areas. The program offers scholarships to subsidise enrolment on Wind Farm Technical Maintenance or Solar Technicians courses for free and aims to contribute to youth training and help create employment to fight local depopulation, leveraging the development of renewable projects in rural areas to improve employability. The program also allows to offer the young participants the opportunity to enter the labour market close to where they live, becoming drivers of the local economy. In 2024, EDP trained almost 100 professionals in Brazil. This year, the training was made available both in person and online for the first time, which allowed a record participation comparing to the previous editions, including the ones that have taken place this year in Spain and Italy. EDP is proud to support the development of the communities surrounding its sites, while increasing the visibility of wind energy as a potential career path and the opportunities provided for prospective wind workers. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Performance | ESG performance| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 75| | | | | | | | | | | The second approach when engaging with local stakeholders is materialized in contributions to local communities through own initiatives, donations, and volunteering. Volunteering is an integral part of EDP’s culture, with employees given four hours per month to participate in social initiatives. Given its importance, EDP has conducted a strategic review of its social investment and, in 2024, developed and approved a new Social Investment Policy and a Volunteering Policy. Accordingly, EDP’s new strategic pillars for social impact are Fair Energy Transition (includes energy inclusion, access to energy, environmental and upskilling/reskilling projects), Culture (includes support to arts and culture, cultural heritage protection), and other social needs (includes support for other needs identified in local communities, encompassing emergency relief). Within Fair Energy Transition, the overarching global theme, EDP is focused on the following areas: 1\. The reported values include contributions in time, cash donations and management costs. Following B4SI best practices, previous activities that were considered as social investment have been excluded from the reported values. 2. The reported value no longer considers employees who contributed in cash, only in time. €28m -17% vs 2023 Investment in social impact1 24% -10p.p. vs 2023 Employees are volunteers2 Impact Since the creation of this project, more than 1,700 solar panels have been implemented, impacting more than 6,300 people, with savings on their energy invoice and the avoidance of 220 tons of CO2 emissions.

EDP has made a first exercise following the LEAP approach (TNFD) to assess nature-related impacts and dependencies, ensuring a structured approach to identifying risks and opportunities. Moreover, in 2024, EDP became a TNFD adopter, planning to report TNFD-aligned disclosures in 2026. EDP’s commitment to biodiversity is reflected in its Environmental Policy, which prioritizes the mitigation hierarchy, aiming for a net positive impact on biodiversity in the long term. Furthermore, EDP upholds a strict commitment to not developing new power generation facilities in UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ensuring that those infrastructure do not interfere with areas of exceptional ecological and cultural value. EDP has established a structured approach to biodiversity risk management, embedded within its corporate Environmental Management System. This process is based on a comprehensive assessment of both internal and external factors, enabling the identification of key biodiversity risks and opportunities. Risk screenings are conducted using internationally recognized datasets such as the World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA), the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, ensuring informed decision-making. Moreover, biodiversity action plans are being developed and implemented for all sites recognized as posing significant risks to biodiversity, ensuring that conservation measures are effectively integrated into operations. Through continuous monitoring, strategic partnerships, and local engagement, EDP reinforces its commitment to enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem resilience within its areas of operation. EDP is pioneering agrivoltaics as a sustainable solution that integrates solar energy generation with agricultural practices, enabling the dual use of land. This approach encompasses various activities, including crop cultivation, grazing, and pollination projects. Each project is tailored to the specific environmental and economic conditions of the site, ensuring benefits for both energy production and local farming communities. In addition to generating clean energy, landowners receive lease payments, providing them with a stable, weather-resistant income stream. As part of this commitment, EDP partnered with the University of Évora to study and test agricultural solutions linked to solar energy production, leading to the Agrivoltaic Potential Study in Portugal. Launched in 2024, this research analyses advanced agrivoltaic technologies, European models, and business frameworks for utilities, farmers, and local communities. The study’s findings will be released in 2025, with the Alentejo region hosting the first pilot project. EDP is also testing agrivoltaic solutions in other parts of Europe and North America, integrating grazing and pollination initiatives. These initiatives aim to mitigate biodiversity impacts and create value for communities while advancing the global energy transition. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Performance | ESG performance| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 77| | | | | | | | | | | EDP’s circular economy strategy is built on the principles of reducing, optimizing, and recovering resources throughout its operations. The strategy emphasizes the efficient use of natural resources and integrates circular design into the business model to minimize material extraction and consumption. EDP focuses on reducing resource and material inputs while enhancing waste recovery and promoting material reuse across its value chain. By prioritizing circularity, EDP is committed to minimizing environmental impact, promoting sustainable resource management, and driving the transition toward a circular economy across industries. This is achieved through the implementation of seven key action areas. A key component of EDP's circular economy approach is to work closely with its business partners to increase the circularity levels of the materials and equipment's used in the company activities. By enhancing supplier assessments and promoting sustainable practices within its supply chain, EDP ensures that circular economy principles are embedded in the sourcing, production, and end-of-life management of materials. Through these initiatives, EDP contributes to the broader adoption of circular practices and resource optimization in its sector. The Close the Loop program is an industry-leading initiative to promote circular economy principles and minimize waste. The program collaborates with over 20 recycling partners specializing in materials recycling, refurbishing, and resale of products and components. While solar panels and wind turbines are the most obvious components, every renewable energy project includes other materials that can also be recycled, such as solvents and oils, rare-earth minerals, as well as cables, concrete, steel, and various metals. As the need for battery storage systems increases, battery recycling will become critical to minimize the mining of virgin materials and to decrease battery materials in landfills. Responsible materials management becomes increasingly important as the number of repowering and decommissioning projects grow. One notable partnership is with SOLARCYCLE, whose patented recycling process extracts more than 95% of the value in a solar panel, including aluminium, silver, silicon, and glass, and aims to return those materials back into supply chains to help grow the domestic solar manufacturing industry. In 2024, SOLARCYCLE made significant progress by supporting EDP's circular economy practices on six projects in four different states across the United States of America. In collaboration with EDP´s Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Operations and Maintenance contractors, SOLARCYCLE ensured materials were recycled efficiently, reducing the environmental impact of solar projects. 1.1 t/GWh -73% vs 2023 Total waste generated 87% -9p.p. vs 2023 Total recovered waste 61% -11p.p. vs 2023 Hazardous waste recovered | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Performance | ESG performance| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 78| | | | | | | | | | | EDP believes in working in partnership, fostering collaboration with suppliers and stakeholders who are aligned with the same objectives, building transparent and responsible relationships that drive sustainable progress. The effective integration of ESG criteria into the supply chain strengthens EDP’s risk management and resilience in an evolving global landscape. Given the dynamic nature of ESG requirements, it is essential to continuously adapt by implementing strategies that involve data collection and ongoing stakeholder engagement, ensuring long-term competitiveness. EDP has established a supplier strategy that plays a key role in achieving its sustainability and decarbonization goals. A rigorous due diligence process is in place to ensure that suppliers align with EDP’s ethical and sustainability commitments. This process includes assessing suppliers' policies, targets, and strategies, as well as incorporating contractual clauses covering human rights, greenhouse gas emissions, and circular economy principles. Beyond compliance, EDP actively engages its suppliers in the transition to more sustainable practices, integrating circular economy and decarbonization criteria into procurement processes. The company fosters collaboration to enhance supply chain data quality, map priorities for green procurement, and drive supplier engagement. This structured approach is critical to increasing circularity in business operations and ensuring a resilient, sustainable supply chain.

This internal policy ensures that both corporate bodies comprise members who reflect diversity—particularly in terms of age, gender, geographical origin, skills, competencies, qualifications -, and experience. Additionally, this policy aims at ensuring that both boards collectively possess the expertise necessary for effective management, including risk management, industry knowledge, and sustainability. The Executive Board of Directors consists of five members with diverse experiences and backgrounds. Most notably, many Directors have significant experience in the energy sector across other regions where EDP operates, such as Spain, Brazil, and Asia. The Executive Board of Directors is supported by internal Sustainability and Risk Management Committees, composed of technical specialists in this field, who assist the Board in making decisions related to sustainability matters, particularly regarding the assessment of material impacts, risks, and opportunities. On the other hand, the General and Supervisory Board is responsible, among other functions, for monitoring and assessing sustainability-related matters (Article 23(1)(i) of EDP’s Articles of Association). The composition of this body ensures that its members collectively bring expertise in the energy sector, particularly in Europe, Asia and USA/UK, as well as in the financial sector. The General and Supervisory Board may contract expert services for assistance with specific tasks, when considered adequate for the performance of its duties (Article 4 (6) of Internal Regulation of the GSB). The General and Supervisory Board also includes two specialized Committees: the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Financial Matters Committee. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which focuses on sustainability issues is composed by António Lobo Xavier, Fernando Masaveu Herrero, Guobin Qin, Ignacio Herrero Ruiz, Lisa Frantzis, María José García Beato, and Stephen Vaughan. In turn, the Financial Matters Committee, with competence defined, namely in matters of supervising the Company’s financial and anon-financial information is composed by Gonçalo Moura Martins, María José García Beato, Sofia Salgado Pinto and Victor Roza Fresno. While all members of the General and Supervisory Board are responsible for addressing sustainability matters, these individuals bring specific expertise to oversee such issues effectively.

Since the Executive Board of Directors acts as a body, all its five members are collegially responsible for oversight of impacts, risks and opportunities. Notwithstanding, the CFO, Rui Teixeira, is especially responsible for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) matters within the Executive Board of Directors. In its turn, the General and Supervisory Board has powers to monitor and assess matters relating to sustainability (Article 23 (1) (i) of EDP Articles of Association). For these purposes, the General and Supervisory Board counts with two specialized Committees, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Financial Matters Committee. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for oversee and supervise sustainability in all its dimensions (Article 2 (1) (b) of Committee’s Internal Regulation). The members that are part of this Committee are António Lobo Xavier, Fernando Masaveu Herrero, Guobin Qin, Ignacio Herrero Ruiz, Lisa Frantzis, María José García Beato and Stephen Vaughan. The Financial Matters Committee is responsible for monitor and supervise the sustainability policies, procedures and practices, especially those that have an impact on reporting and matters related to risk management. The members that are part of this Committee are Gonçalo Moura Martins, María José García Beato, Sofia Salgado Pinto and Victor Roza Fresno. Without prejudice to duties that bound all the members, those are the members on which the General and Supervisory Board rely on for expertise to oversee sustainability matters. GOV-1_09 - Disclosure of how body's or individuals within body responsibilities for impacts, risks and opportunities are reflected in undertaking's terms of reference, board mandates and other related policies The responsibilities of each corporate body regarding sustainability matters are primarily outlined in EDP’s Articles of Association and further detailed in the Internal Regulations of the Executive Board of Directors and of the General and Supervisory Board. In particular, the Executive Board of Directors is responsible for managing the company’s business affairs (Article 18(1)(b) of EDP’s Articles of Association), which includes ensuring that the company’s risks are identified, assessed, controlled, and managed. It is tasked with defining risk targets, setting the company’s risk profile, and coordinating decisions related to material risk management (Article 4(2)(n) of the Internal Regulations of the Executive Board of Directors). Within the Executive Board of Directors, the CFO, Rui Teixeira, holds specific responsibility for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) matters. Meanwhile, the General and Supervisory Board, primarily through its specialized committees, oversees all sustainability matters. As part of its responsibilities, the General and Supervisory Board is responsible, among other things, for constantly monitoring and periodically assessing internal procedures relating to accounting and auditing matters, the company's risk policy and profile, the effectiveness of risk management, the internal control system and the internal auditing system, as well as issuing an opinion on the management report and accounts for the year, including the consolidated non-financial statements. For its part, in carrying out its duties, the Financial Matters Committee should pay particular attention to the definition of sustainability policies and strategies, in their different dimensions with an impact on sustainability reporting, significant exposures to financial and non-financial risks, namely ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) risks, the development of good corporate governance practices in terms of the internal control system for financial and sustainability information, the identification, assessment, control and management of risks and the assessment of the degree of internal compliance with the company's risk management system, continuously monitoring its performance and effectiveness, in conjunction with the Executive Board of Directors, namely monitoring risk control policies, the identification of key risk indicators (KRI) and integrated risk assessment methodologies, among others. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for supporting and monitoring the definition of the company's sustainability policies and strategies, in their three dimensions Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), as well as their implementation, monitoring and conducting regular analyses of the main trends and developments in regulations and best practices in ESG matters that are relevant to the company's activity, monitoring and conducting regular analyses of the main trends and developments in regulations and best practices in ESG matters that are relevant to the company's activity, monitoring the process of calculating, defining and densifying the concept of dual materiality, among others. From a material standpoint, EDP has adopted several internal policies and strategic documents that establish its commitments and objectives regarding sustainability. These include the Climate Transition Plan, the Code of Ethics, the Sustainable Development Principles, and the Corporate Risk Management Policy. These policies and documents guide the activities of the corporate bodies, inform decision-making processes, and serve as benchmarks for compliance assessments. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 89| | | | | | | | | | Finally, the outcomes of compliance evaluations with these defined objectives and internal policies are primarily reported in the Integrated Annual Report, the Transition Plan Progress Report, and the Annual Report of the General and Supervisory Board. GOV-1_10 \- Description of management's role in governance processes, controls and procedures used to monitor, manage and oversee impacts, risks and opportunities The Executive Board of Directors is generally responsible for managing the company’s business affairs, defining strategies and internal procedures and monitor the business risks. The Executive Board of Directors plays a central role approving the group’s Business Plan, investment budget and forecast and its Sustainability Strategy, including decarbonization pathway, all supported by an overall risk management process aligned with different climate scenarios. In what concerns to sustainability, the strategy is defined after a previous discussion with the relevant Platforms and Regions. Regarding risk management, the Executive Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the decision, supervising and controlling risk management, and setting the EDP Group's management objectives and policies. In addition, it is also responsible for defining the Risk Appetite set out in the Business Plan, defining the EDP Group's risk policies (in particular, the respective exposure limits by risk category) and for allocating resources in accordance with the risk-return profile of the various options available. The Executive Board of Director is supported in this task by the management committees, that contribute to the decision-making process, namely the Risk Committees and the Sustainability Committee, and by internal departments, namely the Departments of Investor Relations & ESG, Risk and Regulation, Markets & Stakeholders, including in what concerns to the monitorization of defined strategy implementation. GOV-1_11 - Description of how oversight is exercised over management-level position or committee to which management's role is delegated to It is the responsibility of the General and Supervisory Board to oversee and assess issues related to corporate governance, sustainability, internal codes of ethics and conduct and their compliance, and systems for evaluating and resolving conflicts of interest, including relations between the company and shareholders, and to issue opinions on these matters. Additionally, they are tasked with continuously monitoring and evaluating internal procedures related to accounting and auditing matters (Article 23(1)(i) of EDP’s Articles of Association), as well as the effectiveness of the risk management system, the internal control system, and the internal audit system, including the reception and handling of complaints and related inquiries, both from employees and external sources (Article 23(1)(d) of EDP’s Articles of Association). The General and Supervisory Board relies on two internal Committees, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which is tasked with overseeing and supervising sustainability in all its dimensions (Article 2(1)(b) of the Committee’s Internal Regulations) and the Financial Matters Committee whose mission is to continuously monitor and oversee policies, procedures, and practices in sustainability matters, particularly those affecting the respective reporting (Article 2(1)(b) of the Internal Regulations of the Committee). Without prejudice to the support of internal departments, the Executive Board of Directors does not delegate any powers, including those related to sustainability matters, to Committees. As such, the powers concerning the definition of processes, controls, and procedures to monitor, manage, and oversee impacts, risks, and opportunities related to sustainability matters are collectively exercised by the Board. Notwithstanding, the CFO, Rui Teixeira, holds specific responsibility for ESG matters within the Executive Board of Directors. GOV-1_12 - Information about reporting lines to administrative, management and supervisory bodies Two main internal committees support the Executive Board of Directors in defining and monitoring sustainability strategies, procedures, and responsibilities. These are the Sustainability Committee, which supports the development of corporate policies and procedures/regulations and monitors their implementation by Platforms and Regions, and the Risk Committee, which analyses and provides opinions on policies, procedures, significant risks, and exposure limits. These committees liaise with different areas and report to the Executive Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. The Executive Board of Directors is supported by the Investor Relations & ESG Department, which reviews and discusses investor relations and ESG strategy, analysing financial and ESG information to be published, monitoring ESG performance and the implementation of key sustainability initiatives. The General and Supervisory Board oversees the implementation of sustainability issues and EDP’s Climate Strategy implementation through Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and Financial Matters Committee. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee meets with the Executive Board of Directors on ESG issues three to four times per year, with Climate at the top of this meetings’ agenda. This Committee monitors and supervises matters relevant to strategic sustainability and tracks ESG performance. The Financial Matters Committee also has the mission to continuously monitor and oversee policies, procedures, and practices in sustainability matters, especially those affecting the respective reporting. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 90| | | | | | | | | | GOV-1_13 \- Disclosure of how dedicated controls and procedures are integrated with other internal functions The sustainability strategy is transversal to all EDP's activities, which is why the Sustainability and Risk Management Committees that support the Executive Board of Directors are composed of members from, and are in contact with, the relevant business areas.

This plan incorporates a strong sustainability dimension, including goals related to decarbonization, community enhancement, planet protection, the promotion of a strong ESG culture, the safeguarding and empowerment of human life, and measures to engage EDP’s partners in the climate transition. In this context, medium-term targets are established to ensure the achievement of these objectives. The Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board are fully committed to the strategy, as both were involved in its development and approval, and they consider it in the exercise of their respective functions. The General and Supervisory Board, in particular the Financial Matters Committee, is responsible for permanently monitoring the effectiveness of the risk management system, namely in terms of identifying, evaluating, controlling and managing risks and assessing the degree of internal compliance with the company's risk management system, continuously monitoring its performance and effectiveness, in liaison with the Executive Board of Directors, namely risk control policies, the identification of key risk indicators (KRI) and integrated risk assessment methodologies, and shall assess and comment on the EDP Group's strategic lines and corporate risk management policy prior to their final approval by the Executive Board of Directors. The Financial Matters Committee defines in its annual planning sessions dedicated to risk management issues, in order to monitor the evolution of the group's main exposures and key risk indicators, as well as addressing issues related to financial, strategic, ESG, business and operational risks. In turn, the Executive Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for deciding, supervising and controlling risk management, and is responsible for setting the EDP Group's management objectives and policies. In addition to sharing the responsibilities defined, it is also responsible for defining the Risk Appetite contained in the Business Plan, defining risk policies for the EDP Group (namely the respective exposure limits by risk category) and allocating resources according to the risk-return profile of the various options available. In the context of verifying the strategy’s implementation and assessing its impacts, risks, and opportunities, both the Climate Transition Plan approved by EDP and the Climate Transition Plan Progress Report are necessarily considered. These documents are fundamental tools for assessing the outcomes of the strategy and EDP’s contribution to sustainability. At EDP, the risk management function follows a three lines of defence governance model, in which Executive Board of Directors, Management Teams, the General Supervisory Board and its Commissions play a role on the implementation of risk strategy, definition of risk strategy and supervision of risk strategy implementation. As previously referred to guarantee that the strategy is defined taking into consideration the risks, opportunities and potential impacts, Risk Management is also part of key committees, namely Investment Committees, Regulatory Committees, and others. Additional, the Risk Management functions has Risk Committees where the Executive Board of Directors and Heads of key Platforms and Regions as well as relevant Business Enablement Functions are present, to follow up and discuss relevant matters regarding risk strategy.

Transition risks are also identified and assessed, including regulatory and legal risks, market risks, technological risks, and reputational risks. Additionally, significant opportunities related to the transition are identified, assessed, and quantified across the following segments: energy sources, products and services, resource efficiency, markets, and resilience. Specifically for the Financial Matters Committee, the Risk Management function meets quarterly to provide an overview of the most relevant impacts, risks and opportunities, namely presenting EDPs Risk Appetite Dashboard, and the Annual Risk Map. ESG function also meets periodically with Financial Matters Committee. One particularly important topic discussed was the challenge associated with sustainability reporting. This included aspects such as our current reporting methods, data reliability, new requirements, the impact of technology, internal control of this information, and process governance. These issues were addressed seven times during the regular meetings held throughout the year by the members of the Financial Matters Committee. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, for its part, also monitors the process of calculating, defining and densifying the concept of double materiality, supports and monitors the definition of the company's sustainability policies and strategies, in their three dimensions Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), as well as their implementation, regularly monitoring and analysing the main trends and developments in regulations and best practices in ESG matters that are relevant to the company's activity.

GOV-4_01 \- Disclosure of mapping of information provided in sustainability statement about due diligence process EDP's due diligence process is a comprehensive approach to integrating sustainability into all aspects of our operations. The core elements of this process include: • Embedding sustainability due diligence - This involves incorporating sustainability considerations into governance structures, strategic planning, and business models. It ensures that sustainability is a fundamental part of decision-making at all levels of the organization and integrated in the company business plan. (ESRS 2: GOV -1, GOV-2, GOV-3, SBM-3) • Double materiality assessment - The structuring process of EDP’s Due Diligence process is the materiality assessment. EDP employs a double materiality assessment to identify the main material topics for the company and its stakeholders, identifying both the topics that are significant for stakeholders, including their social and environmental impacts and the topics that are significant for EDP's business operations, including financial impacts, risks, and opportunities. (ESRS 2: GOV-2, IRO-1) • Engaging with affected stakeholders - EDP actively involves stakeholders, enabling the company to understand their concerns and expectations, ensuring that the actions are aligned with their interests. (ESRS 2 SBM-2, MDR-P; S1-2, S2-2, S3-2, S4-2) • Identifying and assessing adverse impacts - EDP systematically identifies and assesses potential adverse impacts on society and the environment. This assessment helps prioritize actions and allocate resources effectively. (ESRS 2: IRO-1, SMB-3) • Taking actions to address adverse impacts - Based on these assessments, EDP implements targeted actions to mitigate or eliminate adverse impacts. These actions are integrated into the broader sustainability strategies and plans. (ESRS 2: MDR-A; E1-3, E3-2, E4-3, E5-2, S1-4, S2-4, S3-4, S4-4) | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 96| | | | | | | | | | • Tracking effectiveness and communicating - EDP monitors the effectiveness of these efforts through established metrics and targets. Regular reporting ensures transparency and accountability, allowing stakeholders to track progress and hold EDP accountable. (ESRS 2: MDR-M, MDR-T; E1-4, E3-3, E4-4, E5-3, S1-5, S2-5, S3-5, S4-5). GOV-5_01 \- Description of scope, main features and components of risk management and internal control processes and systems in relation to sustainability reporting EDP Group is committed to implementing robust and effective governance practices to ensure proper oversight of our sustainability initiatives. Our governance structure is designed to integrate sustainability at all levels of the organization, ensuring that strategic and operational decisions consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. To make this happen, the component of Risk Management and internal controls over sustainability must be one of the drivers of the company's governance in terms of sustainability. Taking all these aspects into consideration, the EDP Group is developing a project to implement an Internal Control System for Sustainability Reporting (ICSSR) under the shared management of the areas of Ethics & Compliance and Investor Relations & ESG. This project is based on: (i) a scope definition model, which includes the calculation, assessment, and documentation of double materiality exercise, as well as the identification of mandatory disclosures in line with the assumptions and obligations arising from current regulations, for the EDP Group; (ii) a gap analysis of sustainability reporting disclosures, focusing on mandatory information, mapping the processes, and identifying reporting disclosures risks associated with those processes; (iii) the identification and gap analysis of controls; and (iv) the definition of an implementation plan to address the identified gaps. GOV-5_02 - Description of risk assessment approach followed EDP Group applies a comprehensive risk management framework to identify and assess sustainability-related risks. This includes environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks across our value chain that could impact our operations, reputation, and financial performance. The aim of the Risk Assessment phase is to identify the sources of risk, and subsequently assess whether they could result in a material misstatement in the Sustainability Disclosures. Risk assessment has two distinct parts: (i) identifying the risk (realising "what could go wrong"); and (ii) evaluating the risk (determining the significance of each risk). The internal methodology that is being defined for Risk Assessment in the Sustainability Disclosures consists of characterising two dimensions of risk. The first is Magnitude and the second dimension is Likelihood, which evaluates the probability of identified risks materializing. GOV-5_03 - Description of main risks identified and their mitigation strategies Since the mentioned project is still ongoing, we are currently in the phase of mapping that risks, processes, and controls. Globally, the risks being mapped are related to: (i) completeness and integrity of the data (risks associated with missing or incomplete data and ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the information collected), (ii) accuracy of estimation results (risks related to potential errors or inaccuracies in estimation methodologies or calculations) and (iii) timely availability of information across the entire data reporting value chain (risks concerning delays in data collection, processing or reporting that could impact reporting timelines), among others.

As our business expands, our purpose and commitment to the planet grows stronger. Based on its Vision, EDP has identified four strategic pillars: • Accelerated and focused growth • ESG excellence and future proof organization • Distinctive and resilient portfolio • Superior value creation for stakeholders. SBM-1_25 - Description of business model and value chain / SBM-1_28 - Description of main features of upstream and downstream value chain and undertakings position in value chain The value chain of EDP can be divided into three main phases: upstream, own operations, and downstream. In the upstream phase, there is the supply chain, namely: • suppliers of raw materials for electricity production, such as materials for renewable energy assets or fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. The logistics and transportation of raw materials to the energy generation facilities are also part of this phase • contractors and subcontractors, such as construction workers and individuals working on maintenance of facilities • service providers, such as workers providing services for EDP. In its own operations, EDP focuses on: • generating electricity from various sources such as wind, hydro, solar, natural gas, and coal, with an emphasis on renewable energies • implements energy storage solutions to ensure continuity of supply • manages the energy distribution network to deliver electricity efficiently and safely to consumers • commercialisation of energy (electricity and gas) to final consumers. In addition, it is involved in activities in the areas of engineering, laboratory testing, professional training, energy services and property management. The production activity is the first activity in the business model of the electricity sector. This is followed by the transmission activity, where the energy generated is delivered to the transport network, which consists of very high voltage lines and which subsequently channels the energy to the distribution network. In the distribution activity, the transported energy is channelled to the distribution network. This network allows the flow of energy to the supply points. Finally, in the supply activity, the distributed energy reaches the supply point and is then sold by the supplier. In the downstream phase, EDP is dedicated to: • supplying electricity and natural gas for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. EDP's end users include people who use electricity and natural gas for domestic consumption, small and medium-sized enterprises that depend on electricity and natural gas for their daily operations, and large industries that require large amounts of energy for their production processes. SBM-1_26 - Description of inputs and approach to gathering, developing and securing inputs The value chain is impacted by various stakeholders and market trends and forces. The EDP Group has several resources that impact the value chain, including: • financial resources such as third-party capital, income, financing, stocks • infrastructural resources such as assets, shop networks, property and other facilities (such as raw materials) • intellectual resources such as brand, patent, innovation and partnerships • human resources such as employees and suppliers • social resources such as qualified skills of employees and suppliers and business partnerships • natural resources such as renewable resources (wind, water and solar) and non-renewable resources (gas and coal). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 100| | | | | | | | | | SBM-1_27 - Description of outputs and outcomes in terms of current and expected benefits for customers, investors and other stakeholders The results obtained and their respective impacts were as follows: • at the Financial level, profits and remuneration of third-party capital and dividends were obtained, financial risks were minimized and debt was reduced • at the Infrastructure level, the quality and efficiency of the energy supply was guaranteed and the safety of facilities and equipment was promoted • at the Intellectual level, it was ensured that products and services are innovative and knowledge was generated by promoting innovation and research and capitalizing on acquired knowledge • at the Human Resources level, a diverse workforce was ensured by promoting diversity and equal opportunities, an adequate amount of training by promoting the development of employee skills, remuneration and social benefits for employees by promoting employee satisfaction, and occupational health and safety were promoted • at the Social level, the brand's reputation and recognition were maintained, social investment and volunteering were promoted, customer experience and satisfaction were promoted, and the contractual relationship with suppliers was taken advantage of to develop these stakeholders • at the Natural Value level, CO2 emissions and air pollutants were reduced, consumption of natural resources was reduced, water quality was ensured and energy consumption was reduced through energy efficiency measures, as well as biodiversity was preserved. SBM-2_01 \- Description of stakeholder engagement EDP has a Stakeholder Management Policy, from 2013 and under permanent update for the Supervisory Board by the Stakeholder Team/ Center of Excellence. This Policy had a further Methodology published by 2015, and a specific Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy published in 2023, with an extensive set of Procedures approved by the EBD and shared only under internal communication. The stakeholder engagement has a Strategic Vision, Mission and Objectives subject to public evidence under the Policy and EDP website under sustainability/ stakeholder management approach. Its methodology requires an internal and an external views withdrawn from independent assessments, from which an action plan has to be drawn, with specific monitoring and reporting criteria, defined per project and project phase. Within double materiality assessment: Own workforce • Internal Studies - The results of the climate study were used to analyse EDP employees' perceptions on several relevant ESG topics. • Meetings with Focal Points - Direct evaluations of IROs were conducted with several internal focal points. These focal points assessed their assigned risks and opportunities using defined scales and criteria. This evaluation involved key departments across Business Enablement Functions, covering all Platforms and Regions. Workers in the value chain • Surveys - EDP developed and distributed surveys to several suppliers to gather insights on potential impacts. Surveys were structured around key questions where stakeholders assessed EDP’s impacts on the environment and society for potential material topics. They were asked to rate these impacts on a scale from -4 (significant negative impact) to 4 (significant positive impact). Additionally, stakeholders were asked to choose 3 topics that they felt most knowledgeable about, considering EDP’s activities. Stakeholders were then asked to assess EDP’s impacts on environment and society for the potential material sub-topics of the selected topics. The scale for the sub-topics assessment was the same (from -4 to 4). Finally, suppliers were invited to list any additional topics they believed were important but had not yet been covered in the survey. Affected communities • EDP has established stakeholder management procedures and a Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy to ensure effective community engagement. These procedures outline the steps for identifying, segmenting, and prioritizing stakeholders, as well as methods for engagement and performance monitoring. The Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy supports these procedures by detailing the responsibilities and governance for affected community engagement. EDP teams gather information about affected communities' concerns through internal focal points, who act as direct links between EDP and these communities. This ensures that the perspectives of affected communities inform decisions and activities aimed at managing | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 101| | | | | | | | | | actual and potential impacts. The procedures also include methods for continuous disclosure, consultation, and reporting to stakeholders, ensuring transparency and responsiveness to community needs. The double materiality assessment, included focal points that when consulted would ensure that community perspectives and concerns were considered and included in the evaluation of IROs. Consumers and end-users • Internal Studies - The findings from various customer surveys and studies were analysed to assess their perceptions on key ESG topics. The process for affected stakeholder consultation is described in IRO-1_05. SBM-2_02 - Description of key stakeholders / SBM-2_03 - Description of categories of stakeholders for which engagement occurs / SBM-2_04 - Description of how stakeholder engagement is organised Under the Sustainability webpage for EDP, the "Who are they" section disclosures the stakeholder mapping that EDP uses for its general engagement, monitored at CoE level: the mapping has 4 areas (Democracy, Market, Value Chain and Social/local communities), identifying different groups of stakeholders to be endorsed and monitored throughout the year by various areas of EDP. There are 24 different groups identified, under the 4 main groups of stakeholders: Democracy, Market, Value Chain and Social/local communities. These have a further description disclosed at the Policy, Methodology and at EDP's website. The Value Chain segment tends to value as critical issues such as: energy tariffs and prices, the composition of electric bills, climate change (namely the promotion of energy efficiency in consumption) and innovation (smart grids). The Market segment considers as critical issues such as financial sustainability (including debt, macroeconomic context and the EDP Group’s strategy) and regulations, fees and subsidies (regulatory context). The Democracy segment identifies as the most relevant issues climate change, promoting energy efficiency in consumption, investment in renewable energies and energy tariffs and prices (tariff deficit). The Social and Local Communities segment gives particular emphasis to issues such as public lighting, climate change (promoting energy efficiency in consumption and investment in renewable energies) and rates and energy prices (price of electricity and tariff deficit); engaging through energy transition's impacts on communities and biodiversity, preventing major shock waves and promoting shared value approaches; public lightning as a baseline of well-being. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 102| | | | | | | | | | Highlighting External Representation During 2024 EDP actively engaged with institutional stakeholders (European Council, European Parliament and European Commission) on the future priorities of the EU in the energy and climate policy domain, either directly or in the framework of public consultations, leveraging in many instances on the advocacy activities of associations. EDP has advocated for a continuous commitment of the EU in the decarbonization journey, as a way to ensure climate neutrality, while also contributing to competitiveness and security. a. Prioritizing the objectives of the EU Green Deal policies and legislations focusing on investments in renewables, storage, power grids and electrification technologies. This will work geo strategically as an engine of growth and security (Joint Statement of June 2024, cosigned with EU companies, associations, local entities and NGOs) b. Similar actions were taken at the main European sectoral associations, in particular Eurelectric, WindEurope, Solar Power Europe, EASE, ChargeUp Europe, European Distribution System Operators (E.DSO) or the European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET). Also highlighting another fundamental engagement process that EDP pursues with its European Union stakeholder, the European Funds. EDP is deeply committed to identifying and securing European funding opportunities to support innovative projects that align with our strategic goals of sustainability, innovation, and energy transition. By actively engaging with European funding mechanisms such as Horizon Europe, the Innovation Fund, and national programs such as Recovery and Resilient Plan, EDP strives to accelerate the development and implementation of cutting-edge solutions that address critical challenges in renewable energy, decarbonization, and digital transformation. Since 2021, EDP has been involved in over 187 approved projects, securing more than €200m in funding. 2024 was an especially productive year, with over 46 proposals submitted (most still waiting for results), already representing more than €40m in approved funding. Among the highlights of 2024 are two projects approved under the highly competitive Innovation Fund, the EU’s most prestigious funding program. These include Big Batt, a 150 MW battery project at the Carregado cogeneration plant in Portugal, which stands out as the only Innovation Fund project approved in the country this year. The second project is Green Ammonia in Spain, focusing on producing green ammonia at the off-taker facility using innovative electrolysis technology to channel hydrogen produced at the Aboño plant. SBM-2_05 - Description of purpose of stakeholder engagement / SBM-2_06 - Description of how outcome of stakeholder engagement is taken into account / SBM-2_07 - Description of understanding of interests and views of key stakeholders as they relate to undertaking's strategy and business model The stakeholder engagement has a Strategic Vision, Mission and Objectives subject to public evidence under the Policy and EDP website under sustainability/ stakeholder management approach. Its methodology requires an internal and an external views withdrawn from independent assessments, from which an action plan has to be drawn, with specific monitoring and reporting criteria, defined per project and project phase. The involvement of stakeholders in governance models is more than an example of good business practice: it is a competitive lever with a positive impact on the EDP Group’s performance. The goals are: • To dynamically and systematically identify the stakeholders that influence and are influenced by the activities of EDP Group • To be familiar with the perceptions EDP Group stakeholders have of the company and what issues they consider relevant in to interaction with the organization • To strengthen the relationship of trust, transparency and proximity to all EDP stakeholders • To integrate stakeholders’ expectations with the management of the EDP Group • To identify emerging risks and opportunities in the relationship with the stakeholders • To identify, explore and develop new opportunities to create value either through dialogue with the various areas and business units of the EDP Group, or through the promotion of multi levelled projects with the stakeholders • To turn the stakeholder management into a tangible exercise with a positive impact in the company.

EDP, through its subsidiary EDP Renováveis, decided not to proceed with the remaining investments in wind farms in this region, concluding that the investments made will not be recovered. Consequently, the assets linked to these projects have been impaired. The impairment of the wind portfolio in Colombia resulted in a significant financial adjustment. As of December 31, 2024, the total impaired amount is 552,881 thousand Euros. Additionally a 118,576 thousand Euros provision was recognized regarding guarantees granted by group companies. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 112| | | | | | | | | | No future material adjustments are foreseen at the time of this Report's publication.

IRO-1_01 \- Description of methodologies and assumptions applied in process to identify impacts, risks and opportunities The identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) within EDP is established by the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, following EDP Group's risk taxonomy, which is structured around four categories: Strategic & ESG, Business, Financial, and Operational. There are several processes established that complement each other, guaranteeing a solid and integrated risks management. Focusing on outside-in impacts, three wide processes are established: • EDP Group Risk Map - Overview of key risks and impacts of budget and business plan execution, focusing on business, financial and operational risks. It involves the entire group, focusing on the different geographies and businesses. This exercise is performed annually and continuously reviewed, monitored and updated throughout the year. The risk quantification is based on the potential loss in EBITDA, in a P95% scenario, estimated through the application of Monte Carlo simulations. Monte Carlo simulation, through the definition of probabilistic distributions for each risk factor/variable, allows to simulate possible future outcomes; for each simulation, different values are randomly generated for each of the probability distributions of the various risk variables (inputs). The result of a Monte Carlo simulation is a probability distribution, i.e., a representation of the different possible future outcomes and their probability of occurrence. In addition, EDP also makes a qualitative assessment of the potential financial impact and probability/ likelihood of each risk, and the impact matrix for the main risks identified above is presented below • EDP Group emerging risks assessment - survey of most relevant strategic and ESG risks and impacts to EDP Group's business activities and geographies. This exercise is updated every 2 years • EDP Group climate risk assessment and quantification process - annual analysis spearheaded by the Risk and Sustainability departments that evaluates the primary physical and transition climate risks and opportunities across all businesses and regions. See more detail in the Climate change section. A more overarching process, aligned with CSRD, is the Double Materiality process described here on. Methodologies Regarding the double materiality analysis and identification of potential IROs, the following methodological approach was carried out, allowing information from multiple sources to be cross- referenced and identify the major topics, subtopics and IROs: • Previous EDP's reports and materiality assessment results \- the results of previous materiality assessments conducted by EDP were also considered • Desk research and benchmark analysis \- conducted to identify and classify IROs based on their relevance to EDP’s operations and value chain • ESRS topical standards \- the list of sustainability matters in the topical ESRS (ESRS 1 – AR 16) was consulted to identify material topics. This list served as a starting point, as EDP followed the ESRS guidance, which states that organizations must conduct their own comprehensive assessment to determine material matters based on their specific circumstances. • International institutions and reporting standards - relevant reporting and rating frameworks were reviewed to identify key topics. The analysis focused on sector-specific standards | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 113| | | | | | | | | | • Internal meetings \- meetings were held with key departments (IR&ESG, Risk, EU Affairs, Policy & Stakeholders, Internal Control, People & Organisation) to identify emerging trends, risks, and opportunities. These sessions promoted crossed-functional collaboration and helped align insights with the company's strategic priorities and risk plans • Library of IROs \- a library of IROs from specialized consultant was used to identify sector- agnostic and sector-specific IROs • Stakeholder engagement \- surveys and consultations with stakeholders to gather insights on potential impacts and material issues. The process to identify IROs involved multiple iterations and reviews with various stakeholders to finalize the list. During this process, the connections between impacts and dependencies, along with the associated risks and opportunities, were identified and duly considered. Impact materiality Each impact was classified according to criteria defined by the ESRS, namely: • Impacts were classified as actual or potential, positive or negative on people or the environment over the short-, medium- or long-term and according to whether they related to the upstream value chain, downstream or direct operations • Assessment criteria, methodology, and thresholds were established to provide a structured framework for evaluating the materiality of impacts. Scales and criteria were based on EDP’s risk analysis methodology (by ERM) and on ESRS guidance. The scope of the assessment included all activities of EDP Group. Assessment scales and criteria a. Severity • Scale - how grave the negative impact is or how beneficial the positive impact is for people or the environment • Scope -: how widespread the negative or positive impacts are. In the case of environmental impacts, the scope may be understood as the extent of environmental damage or a geographical perimeter. In the case of impacts on people, the scope may be understood as the number of people adversely affected • Irremediability - whether and to what extent the negative impacts could be remediated, i.e., restoring the environment or affected people to their prior state. b. Likelihood - likelihood of occurrence of identified potential impacts. Severity | ---|--- Scale | 4 - Very high | Regarding environmental impacts, critical damage to the water, soil, air, climate, ecosystems, posing a severe threat to ecosystems and the overall environment; Concerning impacts on people and society, widespread and severe impact on individuals, especially those in vulnerable situations, with long-lasting consequences. 3 - High | Regarding environmental impacts, significant and potentially long-lasting impact, causing substantial damage to the water, soil, air, climate, ecosystems; Concerning impacts on people and society, many individuals are affected, with a notable impact on their vulnerabilities. 2 - Medium | Regarding environmental impacts, noticeable impact on the water, soil, air, climate, ecosystems, requiring attention and mitigation efforts, but not causing severe damage; Concerning impacts on people and society, some individuals experience a moderate impact on their vulnerabilities, requiring support or adaptation. 1 - Reduced | Regarding environmental impacts, the impact on the water, soil, air, climate, ecosystems is reduced; Concerning impacts on people and society, individuals are not significantly affected, and there is little to no impact on their economic, social, or other vulnerabilities. | ---|--- Scope | Global/total | The impact is totally spread throughout the universe of the IRO. Regarding environmental impacts, the extent of environmental damage or geographical perimeter is global; Concerning impacts on people and society, the entirety of the considered universe is impacted. Widespread | The impact is significantly spread throughout the universe of the IRO, but not in its entirety. Regarding environmental impacts, widespread extent of environmental damage or geographical perimeter; Concerning impacts on people and society, a significant majority of the considered universe is impacted. Moderate | The impact is moderately spread throughout the universe of the IRO. Regarding environmental impacts, the extent of environmental damage or geographical perimeter is moderate; Concerning impacts on people and society, a moderate number of individuals in the considered universe are impacted. Minimal | The impact is minimal in a specific location in the context of the IRO. Regarding environmental impacts, the extent of environmental damage or geographical perimeter is minimal; Concerning impacts on people and society, a minimal number of individuals in the considered universe are impacted. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 114| | | | | | | | | | | ---|--- Irremediability | Irreversible damage | The negative impacts cannot be remediated, even with significant effort and resources. The environmental or social damage is irreversible. Long-term reversible damage | Remediation is possible, but it would be extremely challenging and expensive. It may require advanced technology, extensive resources, or be achievable in the long term. Medium- term reversible damage | Remediation is possible, but it would be difficult and require a significant investment, or it could be achievable in the medium term. It would take time and money to restore the environment or affected people to their prior state. Short-term reversible damage | Remediation is possible with minimal effort (time and cost) in the short-term. The negative impacts can be reversed relatively easily and efficiently. Likelihood | ---|--- Likelihood | 3 - High (>50%) | Occurs punctually or regularly. It is known and could be recurrent. There are defined controls however it is likely to occur. It may be possible to prevent the event with a different approach or process. 2 - Medium (5-50%) | It could happen but the Likelihood is low, or it only occurs sporadically. The threat is not expected to occur, although the possibility is real. It is usually sufficient to prevent this type of event. There are controls in place, but additional actions will be necessary. 1 - Low (<5%) | The threat may only occur in exceptional situations. Defined controls and processes are stable and in operation. Financial materiality Each risk and opportunity was classified according to criteria defined by the ESRS, namely • risks and opportunities were classified over the short-, medium- or long-term and according to their position in the value chain (upstream, downstream or direct operations) • the assessment is based on their magnitude (reputation and economic impact) and likelihood, the assessment criteria was defined by EDP. The specific dimensions of Magnitude and their respective assessment scales were adopted from the EDP Risk Department. Assessment scales and criteria a. Magnitude - potential magnitude of financial effects. b. Likelihood - likelihood of occurrence of identified risks and opportunities. Magnitude | ---|--- Reputation | 4 - Very high | Risk of international or national media coverage, without the possibility of mitigation and likely impact on the group's credibility 3 - High | Risk of national media coverage, reduced possibility of mitigation and possible impact on the group's credibility 2 - Medium | Risk of local or national media diffusion and possible partial resolution 1 - Reduced | Risk of dissemination to a restricted group of stakeholders, with reduced media coverage and possible resolution in its entirety NA - Not applicable | Manifestation of risk has no effect | ---|--- Economic impact | 4 - Very high | >€100m (catastrophic if >€500m) 3 - High | €20m-€100m 2 - Medium | €5m-€20m 1 - Reduced | <€5m NA - Not applicable | Manifestation of risk has no effect | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 115| | | | | | | | | | Likelihood | ---|--- Likelihood | 3 - High (>50%) | Occurs punctually or regularly. It is known and could be recurrent. There are defined controls however it is likely to occur. It may be possible to prevent the event with a different approach or process. 2 - Medium (5-50%) | It could happen but the Likelihood is low, or it only occurs sporadically. The threat is not expected to occur, although the possibility is real. It is usually sufficient to prevent this type of event. There are controls in place, but additional actions will be necessary. 1 - Low (<5%) | The threat may only occur in exceptional situations. Defined controls and processes are stable and in operation. Not material topics The topical standard E2 Pollution resulted as not material. The process to identify actual and potential pollution-related impacts, risks and opportunities followed the same methodology and steps as for all other IROs. Pollution was ranked by direct evaluation, considering internal information from the environmental management system in place, using namely the risk environmental process detailed in E4.IRO-1_02 and environmental concerns raised by local communities. Both these instruments are used at site level.

Assessment • Surveys - EDP developed and distributed surveys to different stakeholder groups to gather insights on potential impacts. Surveys were structured around key questions where stakeholders assessed EDP’s impacts on the environment and society for potential material topics. They were asked to rate these impacts on a scale from -4 (significant negative impact) to 4 (significant positive impact). Additionally, stakeholders were asked to choose 3 topics that they felt most knowledgeable about, considering EDP’s activities. Stakeholders were then asked to assess EDP’s impacts on environment and society for the potential material sub-topics of the selected topics. The scale for the sub-topics assessment was the same (from -4 to 4). Finally, stakeholders were invited to list any additional topics they believed were important but had not yet been covered in the survey. • Internal studies - EDP conducted internal surveys and studies to analyse and quantify the perceptions of employees, clients, and investors on several relevant impacts, risks and opportunities • Direct evaluation - several internal focal points assessed their assigned impacts, risks and opportunities using defined scales and criteria. This evaluation involved all Platforms and Regions covering all business areas, including Risk; IR&ESG; People & Organisation; Energy Planning; Procurement; Ethics & Compliance; Policy, Competition & Stakeholders; Safety & Business Continuity; Finance; Legal & Governance; and others. Consolidation of inputs • Combining data - each impact final score was calculated by averaging the assessment criteria (IRO-1_01), taking into consideration the combined inputs from desk research, stakeholder engagement, and internal evaluations. The final score for each risk and opportunity is determined by averaging the focal points' evaluations for reputation, economic impact, and likelihood • Materiality threshold - A threshold value (e.g., ≥2) was set to determine which IROs were considered material. Those that meet or exceed this threshold are prioritized for reporting • Calibration and validation - after consolidating inputs, the preliminary results were presented to the Executive Board of Directors for validation and final calibration. Materiality assessment results The materiality assessment results were approved by EDP's Board of Directors. The DMA results were presented to both the Financial Matters Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of the General and Supervisory Board. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 116| | | | | | | | | | Monitoring of impacts i. Continuous monitoring • Regular tracking - regularly tracking and reviewing the identified IROs to ensure they remain relevant and up-to-date • Stakeholder feedback - ongoing engagement with stakeholders to gather feedback and insights on the effectiveness of the measures implemented ii. Reporting Requirements • Reporting and disclosure - transparent communication of the identified material impacts in company reports, aligning with the ESRS. • Double materiality assessment - The DMA will be conducted every two to three years, aligning with the release of new Business Plans. If required, EDP may shorten the period in between assessments, in accordance with the CSRD recommendations. IRO-1_03 \- Description of how process focuses on specific activities, business relationships, geographies or other factors that give rise to heightened risk of adverse impacts In the DMA assessment, EDP engaged focal points from key departments covering all business areas. This involvement enabled the identification and assessment of impacts, providing a broader and more comprehensive view of emerging trends with a particular focus on specific activities, business relationships, geographies, or other factors that may give rise to a heightened risk of adverse impacts. It also enabled the collection of insights to ensure alignment with EDP’s strategic priorities and risk mitigation plans. IRO-1_04 \- Description of how process considers impacts with which undertaking is involved through own operations or as result of business relationships Each impact, whether potential or actual, positive or negative, was identified within the value chain through rigorous due diligence. These impacts originated either upstream (such as from suppliers and raw material extraction), in direct operations (including energy generation and facility maintenance), or downstream (affecting end-users and local communities). EDP is involved through its operations by implementing predictive maintenance strategies to maximize asset value and leveraging its global scale for competitive procurement processes. Additionally, EDP's due diligence process includes screening suppliers for compliance and integrity, monitoring critical suppliers during service delivery, and ensuring adherence to ESG requirements through contractual clauses and regular audits. IRO-1_05 \- Description of how process includes consultation with affected stakeholders to understand how they may be impacted and with external experts Within Double Materiality Assessment: Identification of stakeholders • Stakeholder groups - EDP identified stakeholder groups based EDP’s stakeholder segmentation, following ESRS guidelines for identifying stakeholders based on their relevance to the materiality assessment process. These groups included employees, suppliers, NGOs, international institutions & associations, partners, clients, investors, analysts and media & opinion leaders. • Selection criteria - Stakeholders were selected based on their representativeness and geographical scope, ensuring a diverse and comprehensive consultation process. Engagement methods • Surveys - EDP developed and distributed surveys to different stakeholder groups to gather insights on potential impacts. Surveys were structured around key questions where stakeholders assessed EDP’s impacts on the environment and society for potential material topics. They were asked to rate these impacts on a scale from -4 (significant negative impact) to 4 (significant positive impact). Additionally, stakeholders were asked to choose 3 topics that they felt most knowledgeable about, considering EDP’s activities. Stakeholders were then asked to assess EDP’s impacts on environment and society for the potential material sub-topics of the selected topics. The scale for the sub-topics assessment was the same (from -4 to 4). Finally, stakeholders were invited to list any additional topics they believed were important but had not yet been covered in the survey. • Internal studies - EDP conducted internal surveys and studies to analyse and quantify the perceptions of employees, clients, and investors on several relevant impacts. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 117| | | | | | | | | | Additionally, EDP: • did a peer group analysis, focusing on the sustainability reports, materiality assessments, and strategic approaches of peer companies to identify key sustainability issues and strategic approaches • consulted relevant reporting and rating frameworks/standards • consulted indirect external sources, such as: • media analysis: to access media news about all topics related to EDP, ensuring comprehensive coverage and accuracy in identifying relevant articles • public information: analysed public information from key associations and rating agencies to identify main themes addressed in their publications. IRO-1_06 \- Description of how process prioritises negative impacts based on their relative severity and likelihood and positive impacts based on their relative scale, scope and likelihood and determines which sustainability matters are material for reporting purposes For negative impacts, the DMA process evaluates the additional criterion of 'irremediability,' considering the extent to which these impacts can be remedied. For potential negative impacts related to human rights, 'severity' takes precedence over 'likelihood.Information on how to process to identify, assess, prioritise and monitor potential and actual impacts, please refer to IRO-1_02. IRO-1_08 \- Description of how connections of impacts and dependencies with risks and opportunities that may arise from those impacts and dependencies have been considered Within Double Materiality Assessment: Impact analysis • Identification of impacts - EDP identifies the effects its operations, along its value chain, have on the environment and society. This includes both positive and negative impacts, which can be actual (currently occurring) or potential (may occur in the future) • Classification of impacts - impacts are classified based on their severity (scale, scope, irremediability) and likelihood. This supports EDP in understanding the extent and significance of each impact. For the criteria used to assess different impacts (actual vs. potential, positive vs. negative), please refer to IRO-1_02. Dependency analysis • Identification of dependencies - EDP evaluates how its operations depend on external factors such as natural resources, regulatory environments, and social conditions • Assessment of dependencies - dependencies are assessed to determine their criticality and the potential risks and opportunities they present. The dependencies are inherent to the risks and opportunities assessed. Integrated approach • Linking impacts and dependencies - EDP integrates the analysis of impacts and dependencies to provide a holistic view. This involves identifying how EDP impacts on the environment and society can create dependencies, and vice versa • Risks and opportunities identification - by linking impacts and dependencies, EDP can identify specific risks and opportunities. IRO-1_10 - Description of how sustainability-related risks relative to other types of risks have been prioritised The result from Double Materiality Assessment is approved by the Executive Board of Directors and presented to the Financial Matters Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of the General and Supervisory Board. The objective is to highlight the most relevant risks and opportunities of the company regarding ESG topics, which is complemented by other assessments focusing in other categories (namely business, financial and operational related). To be actionable, there are mitigation actions identified for the most relevant guaranteeing that each priority is adequately managed. Some additional assessments complement / reinforce the priority of certain topics, namely the Emerging Risks Assessment, which highlight the most relevant priorities for the company strategy for the next 10 years (focusing on strategic and ESG impacts, risks and opportunities) and the Climate Risk Assessment and Quantification process that evaluates the primary physical and transition climate risks and opportunities across all businesses and regions. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 118| | | | | | | | | | IRO-1_11 \- Description of decision-making process and related internal control procedures The strategy defined by the company in its Business Plan exercises has an underlying risk strategy which is after embodied by EDP's Risk Appetite Statement, where states its position regarding several risk categories, namely ESG related, and is periodically reviewed to guarantee adherence to reality. According to EDP risk governance model, the risk strategy is defined by the second line of defence, embodied by the Executive Board of Directors together with risk management, sustainability and other relevant Business Enablement Functions. To assure the risk strategy is implemented, the third line of defence, embodied by the General Supervisory Board and the Internal Audit function supervise its implementation, producing recommendations for improvement whenever necessary. IRO-1_12 \- Description of extent to which and how process to identify, assess and manage impacts and risks is integrated into overall risk management process and used to evaluate overall risk profile and risk management processes / IRO-1_13 - Description of extent to which and how process to identify, assess and manage opportunities is integrated into overall management process The process follows the risk management process established in EDP Group Enterprise Risk management framework, structures around five main phases: • identification - the identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) follows EDP Group's risk taxonomy, which is structured around four categories: Strategic & ESG, Business, Financial, and Operational. There are several processes established that complement each other, guaranteeing a solid and integrated risks management • analysis - risk analysis involves establishing criteria to assess their nature and materiality, as well as analysing their individual and aggregate exposure in accordance with the criteria defined • evaluation - risk evaluation consists of comparing the risk profile with the group's risk exposure appetite (explicit or implicit), as well as the consequent definition of appropriate strategies for the respective treatment, when necessary • treatment - risk treatment consists of properly implementing the risk mitigation strategies previously established, including the definition of appropriate control mechanisms • monitoring - risk monitorization ensures effective action on the risks identified, both in terms of control and periodic reporting of the position of the various risk factors, and in terms of the effective implementation of the policies, standards and procedures established for risk management. Additionally, and as the EDP Group is exposed to several risks due to its size, and the diversity of businesses and geographies in which it operates, it recognizes risk-taking as an integral and unavoidable component of its activity, both in terms of threat and opportunity. In this context, the group explicitly and implicitly establishes its risk appetite with its stakeholders, at both the corporate and Business Unit levels, through a series of mechanisms: • the development and periodic approval by the Board of Directors of the group's Business Plan, which sets out and explains the main strategic guidelines over a three-to-five-year horizon • rigorous assessment of the risk associated with investment and divestment opportunities carried out by the Business Units and approved by the Executive Board of Directors, supported by the opinion of the Investment Committee • the development of risk management policies, both at the corporate and Business Unit levels, establishing guidelines, assessment methodologies, and exposure limits for key risks • periodic risk maps based on objective, quantitative, and comparable criteria, to analyse exposure to the most relevant risks and take preventive action to deal with excessive exposure concerning the established risk tolerance • the development of periodic risk reports for the main risk categories, making it possible to regularly monitor the evolution of current and emerging risks and compare the various exposures against the established limits. Dissemination of said reports in line with the group's strategy and performance metrics to the EBD and GSB • the definition of an internal Risk Appetite Framework, approved by the EBD. The EDP Group's risk appetite framework is structured around four pillars: • the governance model identifies the main players in the risk appetite process and their responsibilities | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 119| | | | | | | | | | • the risk appetite statement formally defines a set of risk appetite statements complemented by risk indicators and thresholds. In terms of positioning, the group has established maintaining a controlled risk profile as a fundamental pillar of its strategy • monitoring and follow-up, defining the key processes of monitoring, updating, and action planning • the reporting platform, embodied in a risk appetite dashboard, that allows the EDP Group's risk appetite to be monitored. IRO-1_14 \- Description of input parameters used in process to identify, assess and manage material impacts, risks and opportunities EDP has in place an internal climate risk management governance model, integrated into the global risk management process, to annually review and report on the resilience of EDP's strategy to climate change. One of its phases is Climate scenario alignment which includes the validation and updating of the physical and transition sub-scenarios, as well as the main climate variables (physical and transition). In brief, the inputs considered for physical and transition risks are: • Physical Risks - These include both acute risks (event-driven, such as extreme weather events) and chronic risks (longer-term shifts in climate patterns, such as sustained higher temperatures). • Transition Risks - These include risks related to the transition to a lower-carbon economy, such as policy changes, market shifts, and technological advancements. | | ---|---|--- PHYSICAL RISK | | RISK CATEGORY | RISK | VARIABLE CHRONIC | Temperature increase | Average temperature rise | Sea level rise | Rise of sea level | Water availability | Average precipitation variation Average days with rainfall <1mm var | Wind availability | Average wind speed ACUTE | Extreme hot days | Days w/ temperature >35ºC | Extremely consecutive hot days | Consecutive days w/ temperature >35ºC | Extreme cold days | Days w/ temperature <0ºC | Extremely consecutive cold days | Consecutive days w/ temperature <0ºC | Extreme wind events | Extreme events per year | Extreme rain events | Extreme wildfire events | Wildfires per 100ha | | ---|---|--- TRANSITION RISK | | | | VARIABLE PRICES | | CO2 | | Electricity price FOREIGN EXCHANGE | | EUR/USD | | EUR/BRL GENERATION MIX | | Hydro | | Thermal | | CHP | | Nuclear | | Wind | | Solar RENEWABLE ADJUSTMENT FACTORS | | WAF | SAF ELECTRICITY DEMAND | | IRO-1_15 - Description of how process to identify, assess and manage impacts, risks and opportunities has changed compared to prior reporting period Not applicable, as EDP only began conducting the double materiality analysis, fully aligned with CSRD, in 2024. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | General information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 120| | | | | | | | | | IRO-2_01 \- Disclosure of list of data points that derive from other EU legislation and information on their location in sustainability statement | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- DR | Paragraph | Name | SFDR: Annex 1 | Pillar reference (Note 1) | Benchmark Regulation reference (Note 2)| EU Climate Law reference (Note 3)| DMA results | Page GOV-1 | 21 d | Board's gender diversity ratio | Indicator no. 13 - Table 1 Statement on principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors| | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1816, Annex II| | Material | 87 GOV-1 | 21 e | Percentage of independent board members | - | | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1816, Annex II| | Material | 87 GOV-4 | 30 | Disclosure of mapping of information provided in sustainability statement about due diligence process | Indicator no. 10 - Table 3 Additional indicators for social and employee, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters| | | | Material | 95 SBM-1 | 40 d i | Disaggregation of revenues derived from coal, from oil and from gas, as well as the revenues derived from Taxonomy-aligned economic activities related to fossil gas as required under Article 8(7)(a) of Commission Delegated Regulation 2021/217818 | Indicator no. 4 - Table 1 Statement on principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors| Article 449a Regulation (EU) No 575/2013;

Environmental information EU Taxonomy Regulation and KPIs under article 8th of EU Taxonomy | | | ---|---|---|--- Alignment with the SDGs | Objectives | KPIs 2024 | Target 2026 | Turnover in line with the EU’s Taxonomy | 45%| >70% (2025) | CAPEX in line with the EU’s Taxonomy | 93%| >95% (2026) Background The European Union Taxonomy Regulation (Taxonomy) published in the official journal of the European Union on June 18, 2020 (EU 2020/852) sets out the criteria for an activity to be qualified as environmentally sustainable. It is the key instrument to achieve the path of carbon neutrality proposed by the European Commission and adopted in 2019 with the European green deal. It is also a forward-looking tool for the transition finance process purpose of the companies. Concerning capital expenditure, EDP has set a goal of achieving more than 95% aligned with the taxonomy by 2026 and 100% aligned by 2030. The Taxonomy has the following main parts according to article 3rd: • the performance levels of activities which are making a substantial contribution (SC) to at least one of the six EU’s environmental objectives as defined in the articles 10th to 15th regulation of the Taxonomy (1. Climate change mitigation; 2. Climate change adaptation; 3. Protection and restoration of biodiversity & ecosystems; 4. Transition to a circular economy; 5. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources; 6. Pollution prevention and control) and complies with technical screening criteria that have been established in accordance with Articles 10th to 15th (point A and B of this section) • doing no significant harm (DNSH) to any of the other five environmental objectives as stipulated in the article 17th of Taxonomy (point C of this section), and • complying with minimum social safeguards (MSS) as stipulated in the article 18th of the Taxonomy, meaning complying with governance standards and not violating social norms, including human rights and labour rights (point D of this section). This section presents the outcomes of the taxonomy assessment in the form of KPIs, which are required to be disclosed in tabular form by using predefined reporting templates (point E) to fulfil the requirements of the article 8, point 4, of the Taxonomy Regulation. To achieve these indicators, we must follow the main steps mentioned previously.

Alignment with sustainability strategy EDP’s prioritization of investment in renewable generation started in 2006, through the anticipation of major trends in the energy market and the support to the vision of a society capable of reducing CO2 emissions, by replacing thermal with renewable energy, decentralizing generation, promoting smart grids and energy storage, and encouraging the demand for renewable electricity. EDP is committed to reduce emissions and to align its business strategy with the aim to limit global temperature raise to 1.5°C. Ramping up that commitment, EDP incorporated in its Strategic Plan 2021-2025 the ambitious goals to be coal free by 2025 and carbon neutral by 2030, supported by a strong investment in the acceleration of renewables installed capacity, smart grids, and decarbonized services for our customers. In March 2023, EDP announced its Business Plan for 2023-2026, a plan aiming to reinforce EDP’s leading position in the energy transition to create superior value to stakeholders.To accommodate for lower electricity prices and a higher interest rate environment for longer than what was foreseen at the time of the 2023 CMD, EDP informed stakeholders during the presentation of the results for the 1st quarter of 2024 about the 2024-26 plan update highly focused on capital optimization and robustness of EDP’s balance sheet: deceleration of investment, with €17Bn gross investments targeted over 2024-26. One of the drivers for the Business Plan is the decarbonization pillar, focused on the three main goals of being coal-free by 2025, all green by 2030 and net-zero by 2040. EDP reinforced its ambition even further to reach Net Zero by 2040 by including the Scope 3 emissions in its targets. With a new baseline year set for 2020, EDP aims to reach net-zero greenhouse emissions across the value chain by 2040, with ambitious mid-term targets by 2030. These targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) under the Net Zero Standard and were included in EDP's Climate Transition Plan, which was developed in 2023 as part of an internal project called Net-Zero Acceleration Task Force. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 130| | | | | | | | | | Article 8th of the EU Taxonomy Regulation in practice EDP falls within the scope of the article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation which defines new transparency requirements for undertakings in their non-financial statements. This means that EDP is obliged to provide a non-financial statement pursuant to Art. 19a (29a) of the Accounting Directive (Directive 2013/34/EU of 26 June 2013). As a result, EDP must give information about the eligibility of its activities based on the list of environmental sustainable economic activities under Taxonomy. Additionally, EDP must report on the alignment in accordance with the main parts mentioned previously (SC; DNSH; MSS) and disclose taxonomy-aligned activities. These discloses should be expressed as share of turnover (reflecting the share of green revenues from green activities), Capital Expenditure (reflecting the share of green investments from green activities) and OPEX(reflecting the share of green operational costs from green activities). Implementation of the Article 8th of the EU Taxonomy Regulation at EDP In the process of implementing and applying the standard, EDP used the tool ([EU Taxonomy](https://ec.europa.eu/sustainable-finance-taxonomy/)[ ](https://ec.europa.eu/sustainable-finance-taxonomy/) [Compass](https://ec.europa.eu/sustainable-finance-taxonomy/)) developed by the European Commission to check which activities are included in the EU Taxonomy (taxonomy-eligible activities) and which criteria must be met for each activity to be considered aligned. In accordance with the EU Taxonomy and what it establishes, EDP has disclosed in 2019 on Turnover, in 2020 on Turnover and CAPEX and in 2021 on the three KPIs requested: the proportion of its turnover, capital expenditure (CAPEX), and operational expenditure (OPEX). EDP has been reporting its eligible economic activities associated to one of the environmental objectives, the climate change mitigation and assessed the requirements in accordance with the main requirements for that environmental objective. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 131| | | | | | | | | | As a result, EDP discloses : A. The eligibility by NACE code activities for "climate change mitigation" • Generation: NACE code (C20.1.1) - Manufacture of hydrogen (activity 3.10); NACE code (D35.11) \- solar photovoltaic technology (activity 4.1); Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6); Electricity generation from wind power (activity 4.3); Electricity generation from hydropower (activity 4.5); Electricity from storage of electricity (activity 4.10); Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels (activity 4.29); High-efficiency co-generation of heat/cool and power from fossil gaseous fuels (activity 4.30). Last year, we included activities from NACE 4.10 under NACE 4.5. This year, we have corrected that situation by individualizing this activity. The activities related to the operation of electricity storage, including pumped hydropower storage, do not need to verify if the power density of the electricity is above 5W/m². As a result, the European taxonomy templates where the KPI information will be presented will reflect this change in methodology. Consequently, the values reported for activity 4.5 will be lower compared to those reported in 2023 due to this adjustment. • Additionally, for the generation activities of EDP Renováveis, in order to disaggregate the Turnover, CAPEX, and OPEX volumes for each economic activity (4.1, 4.3, and 7.6) under Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2021/2178,we use the information provided by analytical accounting, which means using the data from each reporting unit of EDP Renováveis to obtain the information by technology for that company (Europe, North America, South America and APAC. The group EDP Renováveis generates energy from renewable resources and has four reportable segments). This analysis excluded the holdings of EDP Renováveis, which were treated as a non-eligible activity because they do not generate energy from renewable sources. Allocations were used in the calculation of sustainability KPIs whenever it was necessary to reconcile the information by technology for each reporting unit of EDP Renováveis and reported operating segments: i. the proportion of each technology in generation to distribute revenues ii. the proportion of capacity under construction for each technology for distributing CAPEX iii. and for Sustainable OPEX, we use the operational MW, categorized by technology type. • Transmission/Distribution: NACE code (D35.12 and D35.13) - Transmission and distribution of electricity (4.9 activity) • Supply: NACE code (F42) - The following activities are eligibles: Installation, maintenance, and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) (activity 7.4); Installation, maintenance, and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6) • Throughout 2024, EDP has worked towards expanding eligible activities to better meet the needs of investors in the transition to a low-carbon economy. These activities, which may become material, are part of macro sector 7 Construction and real estate activities contributing to climate change mitigation. However, this is a short- to medium-term process. B. The substantial contribution to meet the climate change mitigation (SC) C. The confirmation that its activities do no harm (DNSH) the remaining environmental objectives D. The compliance with the Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS) E. The turnover, the capital expenditures and the expenditures associated with activities eligible, aligned and non-eligible Scope of the disclosure for the three financial environmental indicators The scope of application of the EU Taxonomy for the EDP Group corresponds to its consolidation perimeter, i.e., the scope reflected in the Consolidated Accounts as of December 31, 2024. The consolidated entities correspond to subsidiaries where the group exercises control. The consolidated turnover of the EDP Group corresponds to the consolidated revenues of these subsidiaries (note 7 "Revenues and cost of Energy Sales and Services and Other" of Part IV - Financial Statements and Notes of the Integrated Annual Report 2024). Regarding investments in jointly controlled or associated companies, where the EDP Group only exerts significant influence, these are reflected in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method. Thus, these entities do not have their revenues consolidated in the group's turnover (further details in note 22 - "Investments in Joint Ventures and Associates" in the notes of Part IV - Financial Statements and Notes of the Integrated Annual Report 2024). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 132| | | | | | | | | | A.The eligibility by NACE code activities for climate change mitigation and B. The substantial contribution to meet the climate change mitigation (SC) Considering that EDP core currently focused on the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity and supply of gas, EDP assigned the Taxonomy-eligible economic activities to the following activities in accordance with Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act (EU 2021/2139) and Regulation (EU) 2022/1214: Manufacture of hydrogen (activity 3.10); using solar photovoltaic technology (activity 4.1); Electricity generation from wind power (activity 4.3); Electricity generation from hydropower (activity 4.5); Electricity generation from storage of electricity (activity 4.10) Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels (activity 4.29); High-efficiency co-generation of heat/cool and power from fossil gaseous fuels (activity 4.30); Transmission and distribution of electricity (4.9 activity); Installation, maintenance, and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) (activity 7.4); Installation, maintenance, and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6). Activities excluded • Coal thermoelectric power plants. EDP has no investments in these plants, and the revenues from coal plants in 2024 accounted for only 0.3% of the total revenues of the EDP Group. • Supplier electricity activities with exception of the eligible activities (the installation, maintenance, and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) (activity 7.4); Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6)). • Holdings and Shared Services of EDP's subsidiaries were classified as non-eligible activities because they do not generate energy from eligibles sources. Eligible and aligned activities Low carbon activities • Solar and wind-based electricity production activities (activities 4.1 and 4.3). • Hydro plants (activities 4.5). In the calculation of the power indicator, to determine whether a project had a power density greater than 5W/m², it was necessary to consider cases where the same reservoir supplies several hydropower plants. The Venda Nova reservoir serves three hydropower plants (Vila Nova, Frades I, and Frades II), while the Paradela reservoir only serves Vila Nova, which receives water from both reservoirs. To calculate power density, the total installed capacities of all these plants were considered, along with the total area of the reservoirs serving them. • Frades I and Frades II have reversible units (pumped storage) and are served by the Venda Nova reservoir. Since it's complex to determine which part of the reservoir serves each plant, the power indicator was calculated without considering the pumping criterion. Therefore, all these sites were classified under "Electricity generation from hydropower" instead of "Storage of electricity." • Hydrogen (activity 3.10) - Investment in increasing renewable deployment supported by hydrogen to leverage a superior portfolio and infrastructure, considered as a competitive advantage. Enabling activities (Activities that allow for the reduction of CO2 emissions in other activities) • Generation activities \- Installation, maintenance, and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6) correspond to distributed solar activity of EDP and Storage of electricity (activity 4.10). • Electricity transmission and distribution activities (activity 4.9) in Portugal and Spain as part of the European Electricity System. Activities in Brazil were considered aligned because they are networks that transport more than 67% of energy from renewable sources. • Supplier electricity activities in Portugal, Spain and Brazil includes the installation, maintenance, and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) (activity 7.4); Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6). Eligible but not aligned activities • One hydro plant in Brazil (activity 4.5) was not included which represent about 2% of the EDP Group’s installed capacity, as they do not meet the following criteria: the power density of the asset is greater than 5W/m2. • Combined Cycle Gas Turbine and cogeneration cycle plants (activities 4.29 and 4.30) were not included because they do not carry out their activities in compliance with the alignment criteria of | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 133| | | | | | | | | | the delegated acts, namely the level of CO2 emissions over the useful life of the asset and with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) below 100gCO2e/kWh. C. The confirmation that its activities do no harm (DNSH) the remaining environmental objectives Under its [Environmental Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/environmental-policy), EDP outlines a set of commitments (Biodiversity protection, Circular economy promotion, Climate action - mitigation climate change (cc) and adaptation cc -, and Pollution prevention) that safeguard the implementation and maintenance of appropriate and effective environmental management systems, and that contribute towards Sustainable Development. EDP's Environmental Policy provides the framework for determining material environmental issues. EDP promotes environmental protection and integrates it into the decision-making processes in the different phases of the projects: 1) Development; 2) Construction; 3) Operation and maintenance; 4) Dismantling and Repowering. The Company also includes a previous prospection phase, in order to identify the best locations for the future facilities. This additional phase also includes the identification of potential environmental issues. As mentioned previously, EDP uses the climate change mitigation as the environmental objective to which its activities will make a substantial contribution by leading the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to apply the DNSH criteria in relation to the other five environmental objective, depending on the specific activity. EDP’s approach regarding to DNSH is detailed below. 1\. Climate change adaptation i. How we demonstrate that EDP has a process to evaluate climate risk and perform vulnerability assessment for our projects and operations? Climate change related risks and opportunities are fully integrated into EDP’s risk management procedures, there is an annual process dedicated to assessing climate risks and opportunities at EDP. This process is structured into three distinct phases: • Risk identification \- EDP ensures an exhaustive identification of risks and opportunities in each business of its main geographies (Portugal, Spain, Brazil and USA) under the TCFD's recommendations. This identification involves validating the taxonomy of climate risks and opportunities aligned with EDP’s corporate taxonomy. It should be noted that the identification of material risks for EDP is based on a prior list, as identified in the table in Section II of Appendix A of Annex I of the Delegated Regulation 2021/2139, of June 4. • Climate Scenario Alignment \- In its climate-related risk analysis EDP validates and updates the climate-related scenarios for physical risks. Mid/Long-term risk (6 to 26 years, specifically 2030 and 2050) is mainly related to physical risks that may affect EDP's asset portfolio, namely regarding extreme temperatures, extreme wind and rain events, and structural changes in physical parameters.EDP restricted the number of physical scenarios to three: RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The analysis of physical variables was conducted by a specialized external consultant, utilizing the Copernicus database and other international databases. The next steps involve enhancing the harmonization of methodologies across the various business units, updating the scenarios and narratives to incorporate the 6th IPCC Climate Assessment Report (physical scenarios), and procuring a climate assessment tool to support the analysis and quantification of physical risks. Results highlighted two types of risks: structural reduction of water availability in Iberia and Brazil, affecting the productivity of hydroelectric generation assets in Portugal and Spain (chronic physical risk) and increased occurrence and severity of extreme weather events, causing damages to our electricity distribution assets (acute physical risks). • Climate-risk quantification and analysis of the risks based on the aggregated climate- related value@risk - Each Business Unit and each area does a unique analysis of the impact of each risk and opportunity on EBITDA, which forms the basis of the quantification process. This quantification considers the expert identification of physical variables, their evolution, and the narratives about politics, society, economy, and technology associated with the various scenarios. Whenever feasible, the direct technique (anticipated loss/gain and maximum loss/ gain at P95%) or, alternatively, the indirect method (probability/frequency, impact medium, and maximum impact P95%) is used to quantify each risk and opportunity. The aggregation of losses and gains takes into account correlations between opportunities and risks as well as between geographies for the group's analysis. What are the adaptation solutions implemented? Building on the progress made in 2023, the subsidiary companies continued to advance the development of their climate change adaptation plans in 2024, with the overall commitment being to achieve 100% implementation of the plans by the end of 2025. EDP develops climate adaptation plans by Business Unit based on the main identified risks according to a structured assessment of climate risks (TCFD), updating scenarios - when possible, using regionalized scenarios, assessing the evolution of climate variables and the main risks and opportunities for each business. These plans aim to improve EDP's infrastructure resilience to climate change, considering both the existing asset portfolio and new investments. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 134| | | | | | | | | | The group has climate change adaptation plans in place in its business units to ensure the resilience of infrastructure that may be exposed to extreme events of greater intensity and frequency, compared to reality as we know it to-day. Adaptation measures start from the selection of the facility in the development phase, with environmental and other complementary studies. After this first step, the Company identifies the characteristics necessary for the equipment to withstand the potential weather conditions of the region, current and future ones. Examples of specific adaptation measures developed include the reinforcement of emergency response, such as greater involvement with the authorities and security forces, to improve the response to extreme phenomena. Additionally, measures include enhancing the response capacity of the protection equipment of the hydraulic circuits of the generator sets to cope with the increased intensity and frequency of extreme phenomena (e.g. heavy rainfall and more intense fires). These measures demonstrate EDP's commitment to integrating adaptation solutions that address the identified physical climate risks, as required by the taxonomy. For more details about our approach and compliance with Appendix A “Generic Criteria for DNSH to climate change adaptation” consult our [website](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/adaptation-to-climate-change) for a breakdown of the physical risks associated with climate change by activity, an assessment of the main physical risks, and examples of initiatives that execute solutions for climate change adaption. Whenever possible, the costs related to climate change adaptation solutions will be included in the content made available there. It should be emphasised that EDP has not made a differentiation between CAPEX related to eligible activities that contributes substantially to Climate Change Mitigation to which that are CAPEX associated with climate change adaptation initiatives. 2\. Protection and restoration of biodiversity & ecosystems EDP's new Business Plan for 2023-2026 includes targets related to Nature, with the overarching goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2040, a target endorsed by SBTi in early 2023. Furthermore, EDP has set a corporate objective to attain a Biodiversity "Net Gain" in all new projects with significant residual impacts by 2030. By 2026, EDP aims to have implemented Net Gain Biodiversity tracking systems in 100% of new projects, signifying the need for all internal knowledge and resources to be in place to enable the company to meet Nature's 2030 targets. Additionally, under EDP’s corporate commitments, EDP will not build new generation facilities in Natural Heritage Sites from the UNESCO World Heritage List. EDP is aware of the sensitivity of natural ecosystems and the pressures affecting biodiversity. EDP's Environmental Policy establishes the Company's specific commitments to contribute to the mitigation of climate change, the promotion of the circular economy and the protection of biodiversity. This Policy is supplemented by internal guidance to establish a shared understanding of how to act, emphasizing the use of the mitigation hierarchy approach throughout the project life cycle as the initial step in fulfilling the overall biodiversity commitments. Moreover, it is EDP’s duty to contribute to the development of research and conservation programs, as well as to broaden scientific knowledge on biodiversity matters by supporting institutions and strengthening dialogue and partnerships. To support these commitments the EDP Group is still working on a document that will define the specific content of Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP). A Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) is an initiative, or a set of initiatives, framed by the mitigation hierarchy framework, with the overall goal of enhancing the biodiversity quality of the surrounding areas of an infrastructure/asset or a region where several infrastructures/assets of the company are located. These BAPs will be implemented in those areas considered at risk for biodiversity. This document outlines the main components of a BAP, the biodiversity monitoring process and the reporting and communication process. i. How we demonstrate that for all projects/operations we pursue in accordance with EU regulation or equivalent national provisions or international standards? Environmental impact assessment and/or risk mapping Development EDP projects/operations comply with EU regulations or equivalent national provisions or international standards. During the development phase of any project of the Company, the potential environmental impacts are analysed in detail in the environmental impact studies and other specific environmental studies, always performed by professional external experts. These studies evaluate the possible impacts of the projects in factors such as fauna, flora, soil, air and water bodies, among others. Through the prospection phase and prior to other procedures and EIAs (Environmental Impact Assessments), EDP carries out an analysis of environmental constraints and other environmental issues, with the objective of selecting the best location for the project, based on various criteria. The environmental impact studies (EIAs and others) procedures are developed and conducted to ensure that the necessary studies are carried out to identify the environment state and the potential impacts so that they are avoided, minimized, and compensated -following the mitigation hierarchy- during all the project phases. EDP is committed to protecting the environment and biodiversity, and therefore the scope of environmental assessment (EIA) follows the regulation and legal requirements | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 135| | | | | | | | | | defined by Authorities. Based on the environmental impact assessments, the national authority approves or not the project's construction, by submitting a declaration through the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or other kind of declarations. Construction and operation phases During the construction and operational phases, EDP conducts on-site environmental monitoring to identify and prevent possible impacts on the biodiversity. During the construction phase, the Company implements a set of minimization, restoration and compensation measures necessary to avoid and remediate potential impacts. As example of a preventive measure the Company has the environmental surveillance during the construction phase. This surveillance enables EDP to check that applicable requirements are fulfilled, and preventive measures are implemented, as well as to control potential impacts not expected and manage them properly. In addition, the guarantee of a mitigation hierarchy approach is considered and incorporated into national laws. Under the responsibility of National Authorities, the licensing process is overseen throughout the project cycle; otherwise, the right to operate this project is inhibited. Finally, EDP has a [Corporate Environmental Management System](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/protecting-planet#gestaoambiental) and a Health & Safety Management System, certified according to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, respectively, by an accredited external independent third party. To obtain these certificates external audits are performed each year to assess the: • implementation of Environmental Policy • internal procedures in place to minimize the potential effects environment (climate change, Biodiversity, Pollution, etc.) • business units and overall performance on environmental issues • safe and healthy work environment and to prevent health effects. For the different markets, EDP has procedures for compliance with applicable environmental regulations. This regulatory monitoring is reviewed periodically and allows establishing measures and action plans to ensure compliance. Dismantling and repowering phase Under its Environmental Policy, EDP recognizes through the implementation and maintenance of appropriate and effective environmental management systems, the need to protect the Environment and integrate its components within decision-making processes at the different stages of development, construction, operation, and decommissioning of infrastructure. The EDP Group is committed to providing innovative and competitive solutions by ensuring coherence across all its activities and ecosystems: in power generation, the group aims to reappraise renewable energy supply chains throughout their value chain and manage thermoelectric assets until their decommissioning. i. How we demonstrate that EDP implements any required mitigation and compensation measures for protecting the environment? Through its on-site management systems, EDP promotes continuous improvement in its facilities, identifying any opportunity for improvement in its processes. All those projects located near or inside a protected area include the necessary studies and measures to protect biodiversity. EDP’s initiatives have the same mitigation hierarchy: avoid, minimize, restore and compensate all the negative impacts that our projects could have. The application of the mitigation hierarchy approach is a core element of the biodiversity strategy under development. EDP started using IBAT to characterize its renewable assets and as an early risk screening tool for new projects. The use of this tool reinforces the mitigation hierarchy approach, integrating biodiversity into the investment decision-making process. Following IBAT datasets, by the end of 2024, EDP has analysed all its assets (hydro+wind+solar+thermal), identifying its location and exposure to biodiversity sensitive areas, with around 18% of assets located in or adjacent to World Database Protected Areas, and 19% located in Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA). The coverage is 27% when considering WPDA and/or KBA. During 2025, EDP will drill down this info to improve data quality, supported by internal Geographic Information Systems, already in place and being used thoroughly in Europe. EDP establishes several measures, procedures and commitments towards biodiversity protection: • contributing to avoiding or reducing biodiversity loss, favouring dynamic, comprehensive, locally owned management, long-term thinking and aiming for an overall positive balance • contributing to the deepening of scientific knowledge on the different aspects of biodiversity, including through the establishment of partnerships • EDP has created landscape and wildlife protection programs in impacted areas, in partnership with local public entities. These efforts have been recognized as valuable to maintain biodiversity and natural heritage | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 136| | | | | | | | | | • depending on the environment and its facilities' EDP has compulsory and voluntary initiatives in place in terms of biodiversity and habitat conservation. The main environmental initiatives can be found on the [EDP Biodiversity Report](https://www.edp.com/en/biodiversity-report-2020-2022), this report (Part I Management Report) and also Integrated Annual Report 2024 of EDP Renováveis, Part 6- Sustainability Statement • not building new generation facilities in areas included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, ensuring that it continues to have no presence in these territories. EDPR monitors all its facilities located in protected areas in order to identify those wind farms and solar plants that may have a potential impact on biodiversity and ensuring that all the necessary measures are in place. This monitoring process helps the Company to implement actions to avoid and mitigate such impact. EDP has made a first exercise following the LEAP approach (TNFD) for the identification and assessment of the nature-related impacts and dependencies in its direct operations. The impact materiality for EDP has been assessed based on the company knowledge and experience, as well as reinforced by the participation of EDP in taskforces leading collaborative experiences around the identification and assessment of impacts as dependencies on nature, as the WBCSD ‘Roadmaps to Nature Positive Foundations’ taskforce and the working group on ‘Natural capital in the Spanish energy sector’ • during the construction and operation phases, EDP conducts on-site environmental monitoring to identify and prevent possible impacts on biodiversity and the ecosystem • EDP has mechanisms in place to fight biodiversity potential impacts within its facilities, such as: Monitor collisions of birds and bats and their cumulative effect on species while limiting indiscriminate accesses that disturb sensitive species and habitats, restoration of affected vegetation areas, etc. • EDP participates in several national and international organizations, working in these topics in a learning by sharing perspective involving not only other peers, but also partners such as NGO or Academia. This participation has supported the design of these targets although without direct contribution. Examples of these organizations where EDP participates: WBCSD; Act4Nature Portugal, Fundación Biodiversidad, Spain; REWI, USA • be a TNFD adopter: Commit to disclose EDP's TNFD alignment by 2026. EDP is reporting the information about the environmental impact assessment in its website ([Transparency and Reporting](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/transparency-and-reporting#publications)). 3\. Transition to a circular economy /Water/prevention of pollution Our environmental policy provides the framework to consider the material environmental issues, an integral part of [EDP's Environmental Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/environmental-policy), is ensured by environmental management systems certified in accordance with ISO14001:2015, aligned in a Corporate Environmental Management System (SIGAC), certified since 2008 by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (certificate no. ISO 14001 -0030519). 3.1 Transition to a circular economy i. EDP promotes Circular Economy and the efficient use of natural resources in all its value chain. The Company has set our four ambitious circular economy targets for 2025 supported in four main axes of action (efficient use of resources and materials; durability; digitalization and resources enhancement). The [Company’s Environmental Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/environmental-policy) outlines the circular economy commitments and how the EDP promotes efficient use of natural resources in its activities, wherever possible, within the framework of a life-cycle analysis, in particular: • minimising the use of natural resources required for the proper execution of its activities • optimising and efficiently managing internal products and services, promoting a circular economy among our customers • maximising the recovery of waste and its reintroduction into the economy as by-products. ii. EDP includes circularity and waste management aspects from the procurement phase At group level, EDP's supplier management approach is based on a holistic view of the sustainable supply chain which, through the [EDPartners programme](https://www.edp.com/en/about-us/suppliers#portal), enables the group to ensure the integrated coordination of activities. EDP's supply chain management approach also includes waste management and circular economy. Please, refer to EDP's supply chain approach to find more information about the Company's approach. The Company also includes circular economy within its engagement process with suppliers: • [Sustainable Procurement Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainable-procurement-policy) (point 11) | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 137| | | | | | | | | | • [Sustainable Procurement Protocol](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-10/Sustainable%20Supply%20Chain%20Report%202022.pdf#page=25) that defines the Company's action protocol and due diligence process • [EDP Supplier Code of Conduct](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-supplier-code-conduct) (environmental commitments) • in Europe & Latin America, EDPR has a Suppliers Sustainability Guide in place for both construction and O&M operations, providing an overview of the sustainability requirements EDPR expects its suppliers to meet, including recycling guidance and recommendations • ESG priorities for strategic suppliers, including circular economy. iii. Engaging with manufacturing suppliers to promote circular economy In 2024, EDP has continued to enhance its analysis of five ESG priorities in its tenders (Request for Proposals and other processes) for strategic equipment purchases, primarily solar and wind equipment. These priorities include Decarbonisation, Circular Economy, Human and Labour Rights, Health and Safety, and Transparency and Biodiversity. The Company has also engaged with suppliers to share their LCAs (Life-Cycle Analysis) and environmental information about their products, including circular economy and recycling rates. During EDP’s engagement process with suppliers, the Company shares its ESG priorities with turbine, modules, structure and inverters and module suppliers. iv. EDP waste approach during operations and dismantling EDP promotes the recycling during its operations. The Company engages with waste treatment suppliers and contractors to find ways and solutions that help the Company achieve its expected recovery rates. The efficiency of wind turbines and solar panels, as well as their end of life, are evaluated by the Company for their replacement or dismantling. The repowering of wind farms has been one of the solutions applied by EDPR, which consists of reducing the number of wind turbines and replacing them with more efficient models. The new modern models allow the Company to increase installed capacity, CO2 avoided, and clean energy generated, while reducing the land area per MW. v. Joining industry initiatives, forums and pilot projects with partners Since 2017, the Company has joined some initiatives and projects, and has also worked with suppliers such as: the collaboration with Thermal Recycling of Composite (R3FIBER), RECICLALIA, the LIFE REFIBRE project or the pilot project with the Associação Portuguesa de Energias Renováveis (APREN). EDP is also a member of the Global Alliance for Sustainable Energy, which also addresses the circular economy. EDP promote the circularity practices. The "Close the Loop Program" is an example of this commitment. This initiative focuses on keeping the environment at the forefront through more efficient use of resources and materials. It promotes solutions that extend the life cycle of products and ensures accountability for product materials and assets. This announcement highlights EDPR North America's partnership with SOLARCYCLE, an advanced technology-based solar recycling company, and underscores ongoing collaboration with 18 additional leaders in the recycling services sector throughout North America. 3.2 Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources All facilities comply with current Portuguese and European legal obligations and environmental licenses. This includes adherence to national regulations and directives such as Directive 2000/60/ EC. EDP's hydropower facilities are certified under ISO 14001 and, in Portugal, by EMAS. These certifications ensure that robust environmental management systems are in place and are continuously improved. The EMAS environmental statement, verified annually by the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), provides detailed reports on the environmental performance of these facilities, including information on ecological flow regimes. EDP is committed to mitigating its impacts, managing risks and promoting the continuous improvement of processes, practices and performance through a collaborative approach with stakeholders for the sustainable management and efficient use of water. Impacts: • the use of water by thermal power plants results in a wastewater output and can increase the temperature of water bodies receiving cooling water discharges • the presence of dams transforms lotic systems into lentic systems with very different hydraulic characteristics | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 138| | | | | | | | | | • the reservoirs of hydroelectric power stations increase access to water for other uses, such as agriculture, water consumption and leisure, serving as strategic water reserves and helping to regulate floods downstream. For the mitigation of the impacts: • When developing projects, and during the construction phase, EDP evaluates the impacts on water bodies and defines measures that it implements in the construction and operation phase. All environmental impact assessments of new projects have associated compensatory measures depending on the identified impact, namely measures aimed at protecting habitats, water quality and aquatic fauna. • EDP monitors the volume of water managed in its assets. Data on water quality monitoring and the effectiveness of the ecological flow regimes are regularly communicated to the regulator. • EDP has implemented rigorous monitoring plans for its production equipment assets to prevent environmental incidents that could impact water resources. These plans include monitoring the water quality of reservoirs and assessing the effectiveness of ecological flow regimes. Data from these monitoring activities are regularly communicated to the regulator. The plans encompass regular inspections, maintenance schedules, and immediate response protocols for any detected issues. This comprehensive approach ensures that any potential problems are promptly addressed, thereby safeguarding water quality and maintaining ecological balance. • EDP has implemented several measures to ensure the safe migration of fish upstream, tailored to the specific ecosystems present in the affected water bodies. These measures include fish passages to facilitate the natural migration of fish species and continuous monitoring of fish populations and migration patterns to assess the effectiveness of the implemented measures and support ongoing improvements. This tracking is conducted through periodic reports submitted to the regulator. Additionally, there are maintenance plans in place to ensure the proper functioning of these measures. • EDP ensures the release of minimum ecological flows in all relevant water bodies to maintain the health of aquatic ecosystems. The ecological flow regimes released through existing devices are agreed upon with the legal authority, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. • EDP reports annually through the EMAS environmental statement to all stakeholders information about the ecological flow regimes implemented in EDP's operations. • EDP uses the World Resources Institute's Aqueduct to assess its exposure to water risk on a river basin scale. A local analysis is subsequently conducted, considering quantitative information from national institutions and the experience of internal operations teams. 3.3. Pollution prevention and control In pollution prevention, we employ the best available techniques to eliminate potential adverse effects, address impacts when no compatible and viable alternative exists, and consistently monitor and control existing impacts. Our pollution prevention measures are aligned with the following hierarchy towards achieving zero pollution in the air, water, and soil: prevent; minimize and control and eliminate and remediate. Thermoelectric power plants are covered by stringent environmental permits, which establish continuous monitoring, taking into account parameters and sensitivity to the environment in which they are integrated. These have physical-chemical treatment processes, for both gaseous emissions and wastewater, ensuring that they are emitted in accordance with the limit values established for each parameter. In the electricity distribution activity, the main impact mitigation measures are at the level of landscape integration of overhead lines, installation of acoustic barriers and oil retention systems. In the management of transformers contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), in addition to complying with current legislation, EDP adopts the best practices for identification, screening and referral for appropriate final treatment of waste with PCB. Equipment with PCB concentrations above 50ppm, which are increasingly residual in the group, will be completely deactivated by 2025. In order to respond to emergencies, internal emergency plans and, when applicable, external emergency plans are defined, with scenarios of potential emergencies or serious accidents involving hazardous substances. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 139| | | | | | | | | | D.

In this sense, it is fundamental for the Company to promote integrity and good reputation in its business practices, through good practices of healthy competition. • In this sense, the Company establishes through its Code and the Healthy Competition Practices Commitment the guidelines for action and the situations to be avoided in order to ensure that no anti-competitive practices take place. EDP, through training of new hires on the Company's Code of Ethics and periodic communications regarding the Code and its compliance. Compliance with tax regulation, tax governance and tax risk management processes The Company ensures compliance with applicable tax regulations and has certifications to support this. The EDP Group's Tax Policy establishes the Company's approach to tax management. In addition, EDP reports its approach to tax issues, as well as tax governance, risk management and its tax contribution country by country in its Tax Transparency Report. Compliance with Human and Labour Rights and due diligence requirements from the EU Taxonomy and the Minimum Safeguards • EDP identifies its supply chain as a key segment to achieve its sustainability goals and anticipate potential risks. The Company's commitment to respect human rights is part of its public statements and commitments, such as the Human and Labour Rights Policy, the Code of Ethics, the Integrity Policy and the Supplier Code of Conduct, among others. The Company has a due diligence process for the management of the supply chain on legal compliance, integrity, human and labour rights to counterparties with deals above €25k. This process covers 99% of the purchasing volume and results in the exclusion of those who do not guarantee compliance with national and international standards. The Due Diligence process has been directed at contracted or yet-to-be contracted suppliers. Currently, regarding the relevant sectors for the value chain of the electricity sector, EDP aims to extend Due Diligence for indirect suppliers. EDP is currently working on this issue, discussing with its suppliers exposed to risks, modifying contractual clauses, requesting equivalent commitments and the principle of independent auditing. In this area, the photovoltaic panels sector is a priority, insofar as it is a strategic technology in EDP's business plan and is exposed to geopolitical conflict, is affected by accusations of forced labour, customs controls, price rises and logistical disruptions, generating significant medium/long term uncertainty. The company works with suppliers to ensure the respect for human and labour rights in its operations. This involves screening, risk assessment, monitoring of suppliers and continuous dialogue and engagement with suppliers, in order to anticipate and mitigate potential risks. For the direct activity of EDP and its contractors, the Company has a series of policies and procedures that outline its commitments and measures to manage human rights in its value chain. • Regarding the health and safety management of employees and contractors in operations, EDP has an Integrated Environmental and Health and Safety Management System, which applies to all its facilities and is certified by an authorized third party. In addition, for the renewables part in Europe and Latin America, it has sustainability guides for the contractors in charge of the construction and maintenance of the facilities. In addition, EDP develops specific guidelines to subcontractors in the facilities. These guidelines include H&S and Environmental issues. • When it comes to human capital EDP has internal policies and procedures that seek to promote equality and non-discrimination, the recruitment and retention of talent and the reconciliation of work and personal life. In addition, for each country in which the Company operates, it has systems in place to ensure compliance with regulations regarding collective bargaining agreements and workers' rights. E. The turnover, the capital expenditures and the expenditures associated with activities eligible, aligned and non-eligible EDP follows the definitions of KPIs related to Turnover, capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) in accordance with the sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU 2021/2178) associated with Taxonomy-eligible economic activities as defined in the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act on climate (EU 2021/2139) , the complementary delegated act EU 2022/1214 and the European Commission notices C(2023) 3850, C(2023) 3851 and C/2023/305. KPIs of EDP In points A to D, we identified the economic activities covered by the European Classification and then collaborated with different units of the EDP Group regarding the technical alignment criteria (SC and the DNSH) and MSS to determine eligible, non-aligned, and non-eligible activities, thereby | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 141| | | | | | | | | | imputing the environmental financial KPIs. We are aware of the need to adapt our financial process system and processes for data collection and production of financial environmental information. This means that from the very first moment we disclosed the KPIs under Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, we have been constantly improving the calculation process, resulting in some methodological changes every year. This year was no exception, and some changes were introduced as presented below. • Eligibility: Last year, we included activities from NACE 4.10 under NACE 4.5. This year, we have corrected that situation by individualizing this activity. The activities related to the operation of electricity storage, including pumped hydropower storage, do not need to verify if the power density of the electricity is above 5W/m². As a result, the European taxonomy templates where the KPI information will be presented will reflect this change in methodology. Consequently, the values reported for activity 4.5 will be lower compared to those reported in 2023 due to this adjustment. • Non- eligibility: The mentioned analysis excluded the Holdings and Shared Services of EDP's subsidiaries, which were treated as a non-eligible activity because they do not generate energy from eligible sources. • Data collection: i. For the generation activities of EDP Renováveis, in order to disaggregate the Turnover, CAPEX, and OPEX volumes for each economic activity (4.1, 4.3, and 7.6) under Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, we use the information provided by analytical accounting, which means using the data from each reporting unit of EDP Renováveis to obtain the information by technology for that company. ii. For OPEX we use the information collected under the analytical system by reporting unit and segment. The mentioned costs correspond to some of the items of the "Maintenance and Repair", namely, "Subcontracts"; "Office materials and tools"; “leases and tools"; "Maintenance and repairs”; Cleaning and hygiene"; "Maintenance and repairs - Other" and "Surveillance and security" which are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of the eligible activities. In addition to the costs indicated, we also considered personnel costs related with maintenance and repairs. These costs were calculated based on the total personnel costs and allocated by reporting segment unit, considering the number of employees involved in operation and maintenance activities. This approach ensured the acquisition of information related to the human resources costs necessary to maintain the continuity and effective functioning of these activities. • Methodology: Allocations were used in the calculation of sustainability KPIs whenever it was necessary to distribute the item "Others" associated with its taxonomy-eligible activities, as well as to reconcile the information by technology for each reporting unit and reported operating segments: i. the proportion of each technology in generation to distribute revenues ii. the proportion of capacity under construction for each technology for distributing CAPEX iii. and for Sustainable OPEX, we use the operational MW, categorized by technology type. Proportion of turnover EDP discloses the part of their net turnover (as defined in Section 1.1.1. of Annex I to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178) that corresponds to their Taxonomy-eligible economic activities. The denominator corresponds to the net turnover as defined in Article 2, point (5), of Directive 2013/34/EU. The proportion of Taxonomy-eligible and aligned turnover was calculated as the portion of the turnover derived from products and services associated with EDP’s aligned activities: electricity generation, electricity transmission and electricity distribution and electricity supply activities- solar distributed generation (numerator) divided by the total turnover in the reporting period (denominator). The values were obtained from our financial system (Magnitude), which provides information by reported operating segments and by technology, with exception of the EDP Renováveis. In this case, in order to disaggregate the Turnover for each economic activity (4.1, 4.3, and 7.6) under Article 8th of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, we use the information provided by analytical accounting, which means using the data from each reporting unit of EDP Renováveis to obtain the information by technology for that company (Europe, North America, South America and APAC. The group EDP Renováveis generates energy from renewable resources and has four reportable segments). This analysis excluded the holdings of EDP Renováveis, which were treated as a non-eligible activity because they do not generate energy from renewable sources. Allocations were used in the calculation of sustainability KPIs whenever it was necessary to reconcile the financial information by technology for each reporting unit of each reportable segments of EDP Renováveis and reported operating segment (<=0.6%): i. the proportion of each technology in generation to distribute revenues | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 142| | | | | | | | | | ii. the proportion of capacity under construction for each technology for distributing CAPEX iii. and for Sustainable OPEX, we use the operational MW, categorized by technology type. The total turnover in the reporting period is based on the Company’s consolidated revenues in accordance with IAS 1.82(a) which corresponds to note 7 “Revenues and cost of energy sales and services and other” of Part IV – Financial Statements and Notes of the Integrated Annual Report 2024 and are derived from products or services associated with Taxonomy-aligned activities. Proportion of CAPEX EDP discloses eligible CAPEX information, in accordance with Section 1.1.2.2 of Annex I to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU 2021/2178) focuses on the CAPEX that is related to assets or processes corresponding to Taxonomy-eligible economic activities. The denominator covers the capitalized costs that are accounted based on the application of the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as adopted by Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008, namely property plant and equipment, intangible assets, right of use assets and investment property. i. How CAPEX was determined and allocated to the numerator? The numerator consists of the CAPEX related to assets or processes associated with EDP’s aligned activities: renewable electricity generation, electricity transmission and electricity distribution and electricity supply activities- mobility and solar distributed generation (considered as components necessary to execute the activity). Consequently, all CAPEX invested into planning, construction, operation and maintenance of generation electricity plants, electricity networks, electricity supply activity are considered in the numerator of the CAPEX KPI. In 2024, EDP's investment totalled €4.75 Bn, mostly dedicated to the construction of new renewable capacity, electricity networks, and the promotion of energy efficiency, focusing on the supply and demand of renewable energies and sustainable mobility solutions in line with the 2 updated Business Plan for 2024-2026. As part of its energy transition strategy, the group has been advancing the dismantling and conversion of its coal-fired power plants with the aim of being coal- free by 2025 and working towards achieving Net Zero by 2040. EDP has taken significant steps in implementing its coal business exit strategy by the end of 2025, with announcements including: i. the sale of 80% and a 20% put option of the Pecém thermal power plant in Brazil. ii. conversion of the Aboño II thermal power plant in Spain from coal to gas, expected to occur around mid-2025, representing an investment in the mid double-digit millions of Euros. The plant will continue to operate using blast furnace gas, serving as a case study in circular economy in Europe by valorizing this by-product and avoiding the emission of 1 million tons of CO2 per year. iii. establishment of a new partnership with Corporación Masaveu, S.A. (CM), through the sale of a 50% stake in Aboño, reflecting an Enterprise Value of approximately €350m and an Equity Value of €60m for 100% of the asset.The new partnership between EDP and CM, consolidated by EDP through the equity method, provides for joint control in the management of Aboño and the transfer of the plants' liabilities. EDP will retain 100% management and development of the just transition projects underway in Aboño, including hydrogen and renewable energy projects; as well as, iv. a request for authorization to close the coal-fired power plants of Soto 3 and Los Barrios in Spain. This commitment is also evidenced by the ongoing process of the Sines coal-fired power plant in Portugal, which is already being dismantled to convert it to hydrogen. EDP has been focusing on adapting the facilities of the Soto 3 and Los Barrios coal-fired power plants in Spain to new technologies, particularly in the creation of Hydrogen and Storage Hubs. ii. Explanation about the basis on which the CAPEX was calculated, including any assessment in the allocation of revenues or expenditures to different economic activities Total CAPEX consists of additions to tangible and intangible fixed assets during the financial year, before depreciation, amortisation, and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, as well as excluding changes in fair value. In 2024, it includes acquisitions of tangible fixed assets (IAS 16) gross of government grants and net of dismantling costs and intangible fixed assets (IAS 38) except for CO2 licenses and amounts reclassified from financial assets to intangible assets for service concession arrangements. Additions resulting from business combinations are also included. Goodwill is not included in CAPEX, as it is not defined as an intangible asset in accordance with IAS 38. Additions related to rights of use are not being considered.

The denominator corresponds to direct non-capitalised costs that relate to research and development, building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the company or third party to whom activities are outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets. i. How OPEX was determined and allocated to the numerator The numerator consists of the Sustainable OPEX related to assets or processes associated with EDP’s aligned activities from electricity generation, electricity transmission, electricity distribution and supply activities. The mentioned costs correspond to some of the items of the "Maintenance and Repair"; "Subcontracts"; "Office materials and tools"; “leases and tools"; "Maintenance and repairs”; Cleaning and hygiene"; "Maintenance and repairs - Other" and "Surveillance and security" of the note 9. Supplies and services – Financial Statements and Notes of the Integrated Annual Report 2024 which are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of the eligible activities. In addition to the costs indicated, we also considered personnel costs related with maintenance and repairs. These costs were calculated based on the total personnel costs and allocated by reporting segment unit, considering the number of employees involved in operation and maintenance activities. This approach ensured the acquisition of information related to the human resources costs necessary to maintain the continuity and effective functioning of these activities. ii. Explanation about the basis on which the OPEX was calculated, including any assessment in the allocation of revenues or expenditures to different economic activities. The denominator, total OPEX, cannot be directly cross-referenced with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as it only includes the maintenance and repair and other direct expenditures relating to day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment as allocated to the Company’s internal cost centres for maintenance and repairs and non-capitalised costs for leases. In 2024, the denominator also included costs for training and other human resources adaptation needs, but did not yet include direct non-capitalised costs for research and development. Approach to double counting • The EDP’s eligibles activities contribute substantially for the climate change mitigation. Thus, the taxonomy alignment was assessed in this context. It was not necessary to distinguish for the three indicators the amounts allotted to the different environmental objectives because EDP does not have eligible activities that are simultaneously contributing to various environmental objectives. It should be emphasised that EDP has not made a differentiation between CAPEX related to eligible activities that contributes substantially to Climate Change Mitigation to which that are CAPEX associated with climate change adaptation initiatives • The calculations of those financial environmental indicators follow the accounting policies which are described in the Part IV Financial Statements and Notes \- note 2 “Accounting policies” and note 3 “Recent accounting standards and interpretations issued” of the Integrated Annual Report 2024. As a result, double counting (mainly related with intragroup transactions eliminations) is avoided. Comparative information The graphs in the next page summarise the information of the following pages about the disclosure of the proportion of the turnover, capital expenditure and operating expenditures eligible, non- eligible and aligned with the European Taxonomy under the new templates for reporting the financial environmental key indicators under the Annex V of the European Commission Notice C(2023) 3851 which amends the annex II of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU 2021/2178) and the disclosure of the proportion of fossil gas energy activities under the templates of the annex XII of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU 2022/1214). Compared to 2023, the variation in revenues was +2.3pp YoY, and for CAPEX, it was -3.1pp YoY. The increase in turnover was due to higher revenues associated with distributed activity (activity 4.9). EDP is contributing to powering homes, businesses, electric vehicles, and the integration of renewable energy. The reduction in CAPEX was due to decreased investment, particularly in centralized solar (activity 4.1). For OPEX, a comparison is not possible because the values are based on different criteria. This year, we directly linked the OPEX amount to the respective business segments instead of using the total weights of reporting segments of the OPEX group as a proxy. This approach diluted the weight of the supply reporting segment, which is not eligible (with exception the eligible activities (the installation, maintenance, and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) (activity 7.4); Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies (activity 7.6)). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 144| | | | | | | | | | Turnover CAPEX OPEX | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 145| | | | | | | | | | Templates of the European Commission Communication of the 27 June 2023, C(2023) 3851 which amends templates of the delegated act (EU) 2021/2178 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- Financial year 2024 | 2024 | SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION CRITERIA (5) | DNSH (6) | MINIMUM SAFEGUARDS (17) | PROPORTION OF TAXONOMY ALIGNED (A.1.)

This year, we directly linked the OPEX amount to the respective business segments instead of using the total weights of segments in the group OPEX as a proxy. This approach diluted the weight of the supply segment, which is not aligned; b) Last year, we included activities from NACE 4.10 under NACE 4.5; c) This year, we have corrected that situation by individualizing this activity. Last year, we classified the activities of EDP R that were not directly associated with electricity production as non-aligned. This year, we corrected this by considering them non-eligible, and the adjustment was also made in 2023. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated

The remuneration policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, proposed by the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board and approved by the General Meeting at least every four years, establishes a fixed component and a variable component. EDP's GHG emission reduction targets, approved in 2023, have been integrated into the company's executive compensation framework through the inclusion of sustainability metrics, specifically annual and multi-annual ESG KPIs. These KPIs are aligned with the company's business plan and are applicable for a three-year term of office. The structure and weightage of the ESG KPIs in the executive compensation framework are as follows: • Annual ESG KPI: This accounts for 20% of the total compensation and includes EDP's performance in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, in the customer satisfaction index, and in the annual employee climate survey • Multi-annual ESG KPI: This also accounts for 20% of the total compensation and includes: i. emissions intensity reduction (total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per GWh generated), reported under E1-4 ii. increase of share of renewable energy production iii. performance in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. These targets are operationalized through the commitments made in the Business Plan 2023-26 and reinforced in EDP's Climate Transition Plan.

E1-1_01 \- Disclosure of transition plan for climate change mitigation EDP's Climate Transition Plan, developed in 2023, was the result of an internal project (Net-Zero Acceleration Task Force), the strategic objectives of our Business Plan 2023-2026 and the Net- Zero targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in early 2023. EDP’s strategy is translated into climate metrics and targets. The overall climate governance in place is synthesised and the strategic levers are identified to align implementation with the overall climate commitments. The Plan is aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), CDP (Technical Note on Reporting Transition Plans) and the UN's High Level Expert Group recommendations. Besides synthesising the overall climate governance, the Plan sets the baseline of EDP's strategy for this decade under a broader pathway for a net-zero goal in 2040, identifies priority actions and points out main challenges. The main activities include to be coal-free by 2025, all green by 2030 (100% power generation from renewable sources) and net-zero by 2040 (this target was approved in 2023 by the Science Based Target initiative as being aligned with the Net- Zero standard). E1-1_02 - Explanation of how targets are compatible with limiting of global warming to one and half degrees Celsius in line with Paris Agreement Our targets have been approved by the Science Based Target initiative under the Net-Zero standard, thus being aligned with the 1.5ºC trajectory, i.e., limiting of global warming to 1.5 °C in line with the Paris Agreement. | | ---|---|--- SCOPE | NEAR-TERM TARGET [2030] | LONG-TERM TARGET [2040] Scope 1 + Scope 2 [intensity] | -95%| -96% Scope 3 [absolute] | -45%| -90% Scope 1 + Scope 3 Cat. 3 - All sold electricity [intensity]| -80%| -95% Scope 3 Cat. 11 - Gas sold to clients [absolute]| -45%| -90% Scope 1 + Scope 2 + Scope 3 - Net Zero [absolute]| - | -90% E1-1_03 - Disclosure of decarbonisation levers and key action EDP identified the main levers allowing to accomplish the transition plan and meet the targets: i. 0% thermal generation: phase-out coal plants by 2025 and gas plants by 2030 ii. increase renewable generation: ≈23 GW installed capacity by 2026, 250 MW of H2 electrolysers by 2026 and work on the improvement of the regulatory landscape to enable additional renewable capacity iii. distribution power losses reduction: investment on reduction of distribution technical losses, 100% smart meters installed in Iberia by 2025, support systems’ decarbonisation targets and advocate for efficient incentives for reduction of distribution power losses iv. reduce emissions from generation-retail imbalance: increase offer of green electricity to customers in electricity retail, investment in PPAs for renewable supply to clients and cover part of the client portfolio with EAC's (RECs, I-RECs or GOs, etc.) v. lower supply chain emissions: continue to work on green procurement, work with suppliers for product specific emissions data, support suppliers' decarbonisation pathway and incentivise greener supply chains globally vi. minimise natural gas retail emissions: optimise gas retail portfolio, negotiate increase of incentives for customers’ electrification and engage with gas consumers to promote gas alternatives/electrification. E1-1_04 - Disclosure of significant operational expenditures (OPEX) and (or) capital expenditures (CAPEX) required for implementation of action plan According to the last Business Plan 2024-2026, EDP will invest €17Bn, 80% of which in renewables, clients and energy management, and 20% in networks. This investment is fully aligned with EDP's Climate Transition Plan. The investment on renewables will allow for 3 GW of gross yearly additions between 2025 and 2026 in direct contribution to the increased renewable generation lever. For the FY 2024, 94.1% of the CAPEX was eligible and 93.3% was aligned with the EU Taxonomy (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178); and 95.2% of the OPEX was eligible and 86.9%was aligned with the EU Taxonomy. It is expected that, by 2026, more than 95% of our activities are aligned with the EU Taxonomy. These activities are: | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 169| | | | | | | | | | • electricity generation using solar photovoltaic technology • electricity generation from wind power • electricity generation from hydropower • transmission and distribution of electricity • installation, maintenance and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) • installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies. E1-1_05 - Financial resources allocated to action plan (OPEX)/ E1-1_06 - Financial resources allocated to action plan (CAPEX) EDP does not have the level of detail, year by year, on the resources allocated to the action plan. The information regarding overall allocation of resources is identified in the data point E1-1_04. E1-1_07 - Explanation of potential locked-in GHG emissions from key assets and products and of how locked-in GHG emissions may jeopardise achievement of GHG emission reduction targets and drive transition risk Potential locked-in emissions are those related to the gas-fired power plants EDP owns in Portugal and Spain, as well as the gas retail activity. It is unlikely that these emissions jeopardize the achievement of EDP’s emissions reduction targets given our plan to be all green by 2030. Regarding the gas retail, our strategy is to promote and accelerate the electrification in all sectors, especially in transports, industry and residential/services (heating and cooling). E1-1_08 - Explanation of any objective or plans (CAPEX, CAPEX plans, OPEX) for aligning economic activities (revenues, CAPEX, OPEX) with criteria established in Commission Delegated Regulation 2021/2139 Under the Commission Delegated Regulation 2021/2139, EDP has set the following target: more than 95% of CAPEX in line with the EU Taxonomy by 2026.

E1-1_13 - Explanation of how transition plan is embedded in and aligned with overall business strategy and financial planning EDP’s Climate Transition Plan is supported by an integrated ESG Masterplan roadmap and the 23-26 Business Plan. Built upon the ESG Masterplan, and to support decarbonisation efforts, EDP launched an internal work on a Net Zero Acceleration Task Force (NZATF) deep diving on the challenges ahead, identifying the levers, while engaging with the supply chain, partners, and global community, to drive a real and just transformation aligned with best practices and standards. The Net Zero Acceleration Program (NZAP) aggregates a set of core initiatives to directly curb the company’s emissions that will allow the tracking of the decarbonization performance, potentiating top management involvement over time in a responsive way and prioritised a set of enablers initiatives that will support the transition. A number of initiatives were prioritized in the NZAP and integrated into ESG Masterplan as part of broader sustainability efforts. The climate transition is intrinsic to EDP's business, with an internal governance model established to ensure a resilient climate strategy, its effective implementation and a monitoring system capable of tracking performance efficiently. In this regard, the General and Supervisory Board supervises the implementation of EDP's Climate Strategy through its Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which is responsible for discussing ESG topics between three and four times a year, with Climate being at the top of this agenda. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 170| | | | | | | | | | One of the drivers for the Business Plan is the decarbonization pillar, focused on the three main goals of being coal-free by 2025, all green by 2030 and net-zero by 2040. E1-1_14 - Transition plan is approved by administrative, management and supervisory bodies EDP's Climate Transition Plan was approved by the Executive Board of Directors and subjected to consultative vote of Annual General Meeting (2023). E1-1_15 - Explanation of progress in implementing transition plan By 2024 EDP has managed to reduce its emissions by -42%, compared with the base year of 2020, breaking down by scopes accordingly: • scope 1: -84% • scope 2: -61% • scope 3: -0.6% The previous absolute emissions reductions allowed for the following progress on the SBTi decarbonisation targets: • Scope 1 + Scope 2 intensity target (Scope 1 + Scope 2 emissions per electricity generated) [gCO2e/kWh]: -81% vs. 2020 • all sold electricity intensity target (Scope 1 Stationary Combustion + Scope 3 Category 3 from electricity that is purchased and sold per all sold electricity) [gCO2e/kWh]: -63% vs. 2020 • Scope 3 absolute target [tCO2e]: -0.6% vs. 2020 • use of sold products (Scope 3 Category 11) absolute targets [tCO2e]: -65% vs. 2020 • Net Zero target (Scope 1 + Scope 2 + Scope 3) [tCO2e]: -42% vs. 2020. These reductions were achieved through the following developments on the decarbonisation levers and key actions: i. 0% thermal generation: near zero emissions from thermal generation following the deconsolidation of Pecém and Aboño coal power plants and a high hydro year with low CCGT power plant use; plan to convert Aboño to gas fired power plant in 2025; request for decommissioning of Los Barrios and Soto 3 coal fired power plants ii. increase renewable generation: ≈4 GW of renewable capacity added in 2024; EDP reached 25 GW of renewable installed capacity in 2024 iii. distribution power losses reduction: decarbonisation of Iberia’s and Brazil’s electric systems iv. reduce emissions from generation-retail imbalance: increased emissions from loss of generation capacity in Spain and Brazil was compensated by decrease of imbalance in Portugal, as well as by the decrease of the grid emission factors in all geographies v. lower supply chain emissions: data quality improvement on carbon footprint from renewable suppliers and inclusion of EPDs and/or LCA’s as a requisite for future RFP’s vi. minimise natural gas retail emissions: 10% reduction in gas supplied to clients, compared with 2023. E1-1_16 - Date of adoption of transition plan for undertakings not having adopted transition plan yet EDP has first published its Climate Transition Plan in 2023, following with a progress report in 2024. These two documents are the basis for the reporting under E1-1 requirements. EDP's Climate Transition Plan will be revised in each Business Plan Cycle. With each revision, we plan on adding more detail and complement on areas where improvement and alignment with the CSRD requirements are needed. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 171| | | | | | | | | | E1.SBM-3_01 \- Type of climate-related risk EDP defines climate risks in line with the taxonomy defined by TCFD recommendation: • physical risks, provoked by structural changes in climate parameters (e.g., temperature, precipitation): i. chronic physical risks, include risks of structural physical changes due to greenhouse gas emissions. E.g., structural reduction in precipitation or rise in temperature, with impact in unavailability of operations or increase on costs ii. acute physical risks, include risks of extreme weather events due to significant variations in physical parameters, resulting from greenhouse gas emissions. For example, occurrence of extreme wind events or heat or cold waves, with impact in damage of physical assets, rise of energy peaks or increase in resource variability. • transition risks, related to the economies’ adaptation to low greenhouse gas emission scenarios, namely in terms of market, technology, legal, reputation and resilience dynamics. | | ---|---|--- PHYSICAL RISK | | RISK CATEGORY | RISK | VARIABLE CHRONIC | Temperature increase | Average temperature rise Sea level rise | Rise of sea level Water availability | Average precipitation variation Average days with rainfall <1mm var Wind availability | Average wind speed ACUTE | Extreme hot days | Days w/ temperature >35ºC Extremely consecutive hot days | Consecutive days w/ temperature >35ºC Extreme cold days | Days w/ temperature <0ºC Extremely consecutive cold days | Consecutive days w/ temperature <0ºC Extreme wind events | Extreme events per year Extreme rain events Extreme wildfire events | Wildfires per 100ha Transition variables, unlike physical variables, do not assume an evolution easy to measure, with the exception of market risk variables (prices, foreign exchange, generation,...), and are based on the following narratives: • Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE): is planned to maximize technical feasibility, cost effectiveness and social acceptance while ensuring continued economic growth and a secure energy supply. It is a normative IEA pathway towards a net zero CO2 emissions in the global energy sector by 2050, with developed economies meeting the goal before others. This way, limiting the long-term increase in average global temperatures to 1.5 °C. To reach its goals, the NZE is not dependent on emissions reductions from outside the energy sector. Instead of the current dependence on fossil fuels, the energy sector will be based on renewable energy sources. In 2050 we will have an economy more than twice as big and 2 billion citizens more than of today, nevertheless, energy demand is expected to be around 8% smaller. • Base Scenario: is built from reference scenarios of Baringa Q3 2021, AFRY Q4 2021, Aurora Q1 2022, IHS Feb 2022 and S&P Marc 2022. In a context of expanding global economy and population, this scenario represents a substantial progress as renewable power accounts for three quarters of European electricity supply by 2050 (almost two times the current levels). However, it will not be enough to reach the Net Zero emissions in the energy system by that time. In the end, it results in a largely (but not fully) decarbonised Europe by 2050, specially when considering the possible contribution from other sectors which are more difficult to decarbonise such as industry, buildings and agriculture. | ---|--- TRANSITION RISK | | VARIABLE PRICES | CO2 Electricity price FOREIGN EXCHANGE | EUR/USD EUR/BRL GENERATION MIX | Hydro Thermal CHP Nuclear Wind Solar RENEWABLE ADJUSTMENT FACTORS | WAF SAF ELECTRICITY DEMAND | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 172| | | | | | | | | | EDP is mostly affected by the following physical and transition risks: | | ---|---|--- PHYSICAL RISK | | | | MAIN IMPACT CHRONIC | Temperature increase | Rise of energy losses Loss of efficiency Demand increase Water availability | Reduction of hydro generation ACUTE | Extreme temperatures | Unpredictability of consumption Loss of efficiency Malfunctioning turbines and panels Extremes events (wind/rain) | Disruptions of activities (production and networks) Increase operating costs Damage to assets (distribution networks, production) Wildfire | ---|--- TRANSITION RISK | | MAIN IMPACT REGULATORY AND LEGAL | Increase exposure to environmental litigation Changes in product regulation MARKET | Loss of revenue due to new competitors Effect of additional environmental measures on market price variables TECHNOLOGICAL | Failure to follow up/delay in adopting new technologies Devaluation/replacement of assets due to technological obsolescence REPUTATIONAL | Stakeholders’ concerns regarding the company's path to climate transition Implementation failures of environmental measures or market positioning regarding the new climate reality E1.SBM-3_02 - Description of scope of resilience analysis EDP’s strategy is set weighing risks and opportunities to move forward, and test resilience under several climate scenarios, including the bellow 2°C Scenario. To inform strategy, three climate scenarios are used aggregating transition and physical variables mostly based on the RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) scenarios of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and on the IEA (International Energy Agency) scenarios, for the transition risks, with some internal adjustments to better reflect EDP’s context. Climate risks and opportunities with a material impact (over €1m) are periodically calculated based on the analysis of the impact on EBITDA and assessed through a Climate Value@Risk approach. It covers directly all operations and indirectly the upstream and downstream value chain, identifying and quantifying risks associated whenever it falls into the criteria defined previous. It currently covers Generation, Distribution & Transmission, and Retail & Energy Services business activities, in Iberia, Brazil and North America. Short/Mid-term risk (0 to 6 years, specifically 2025 and 2030) is mainly related to transition risks, namely energy market design, prices, regulatory framework, and technological developments. Mid/ Long-term risk (6 to 26 years, specifically 2030 and 2050) is mainly related to physical risks that may affect EDP's asset portfolio, namely regarding extreme temperatures, extreme wind and rain events, and structural changes in physical parameters. E1.SBM-3_03 - Disclosure of how resilience analysis has been conducted EDP has in place an internal climate risk management governance model, integrated into the global risk management process, to annually review and report on the resilience of EDP's strategy to climate change. The process is overseen by the Risk and the Sustainability, supported by a team of specialised interlocutors from the different platforms/ regions. The process is structured in three distinct phases: • risk identification: guarantees the exhaustive identification of risks and opportunities in each business and main geographies and in line with the structure defined in the TCFD recommendations • climate scenario alignment: includes the validation and updating of the physical and transition sub-scenarios, as well as the main climate variables (physical and transition) • risk quantification and Climate Value@Risk aggregation: considers the quantification of the most relevant climate-related risks and opportunities of each business/geography (i.e., with an impact on EBITDA of over €1m). Climate risks and opportunities with a material impact (over €1m) are periodically calculated based on the analysis of the impact on EBITDA and reported by each Platform/geography and duly aggregated through a Climate Value@Risk (considering a set of assumptions of correlation between risks and opportunities). The assessment of each material risk is done according to 3-time horizons (0-1 years, 2-6 and 7-26 years) and under 3 different climate scenarios. The exercise is consolidated at group level, by Platform and by business area. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 173| | | | | | | | | | Validation and risk identification Climate risk and opportunity taxonomies are integrated in the overall corporate risk taxonomy and are updated regularly. Climate risks are present in several risk categories: • physical risks impact, at business level • energy market risks (volume of renewable energy generation and demand) • physical assets risks (damages, efficiency losses, delays, among others), at the operational level. Transition risks and opportunities impact: i) at strategic level, the surrounding context (technological disruption and change in the competitive paradigm) and the stakeholders’ relations; ii) at business level, the energy market (commodity and pool prices and demand) and regulation; and iii) at operational level, the legal, compliance and ethical risks. Climate scenarios Considering a 30-year horizon and for the different scenarios defined, narratives focusing on the various dimensions (social, regulatory and political, economic and technological, and energy) were constructed. The evolution of the physical variables was provided by a specialised external consultant, using the Copernicus database and other international databases. The transition variables, namely the evolution of prices, energy demand and energy mix, are based on scenarios from the IEA and other international sources (e.g., Aurora, Baringa, among others), with the necessary adaptations to the countries where EDP is present. Quantification Quantification, based on the individual analysis of the impact on EBITDA of each risk and opportunity (physical and transition), is carried out by each Business Unit and for each geography. This quantification considers the identification of the physical variables and their evolution according to the experts, and the political/social/economic/technological narratives related to the different scenarios. The quantification method depends on each risk and opportunity using, whenever possible, the direct method (expected loss/gain and maximum loss/gain at P95%) or, alternatively, the indirect method (probability/frequency, average impact and maximum impact at P95%). For the purposes of the group's analysis, the consolidation of losses and gains is carried out considering correlations among risks and opportunities and among geographies. E1.SBM-3_04 \- Disclosure of when resilience analysis has been conducted EDP has in place an internal climate risk management governance model, integrated into the global risk management process, to annually review and report on the resilience of EDP's strategy to climate change. The process is overseen by Risk Management and Sustainability. The last exercise was performed in 2024. E1.SBM-3_05 \- Time horizons applied for resilience analysis Short/Mid-term risk (0 to 6 years, specifically 2025 and 2030) is mainly related to transition risks, namely energy market design, prices, regulatory framework, and technological developments. Mid/ Mid/Long-term risk (6 to 26 years, specifically 2030 and 2050) is mainly related to physical risks that may affect EDP's asset portfolio, namely regarding extreme temperatures, extreme wind and rain events, and structural changes in physical parameters. • Short-term (0-1 years): This timeframe (2024-2025) encompasses EDP’s Business Plan time horizon, in which EDP presents its commitments for the period. It allows to anticipate the most immediate consequences of possible transition risks and opportunities. • Medium-term (2-6 years): This timeframe corresponds to the 2026-2030 period, for which EDP has several energy transition targets defined. It allows to anticipate possible transition risks and opportunities – namely how governments can structure viable roadmaps towards carbon neutrality (policies and regulation) and the role companies such as EDP can play in supporting this transition with the knowledge and the technology required to deliver these roadmaps, under certain economic conditions – as well as it can also foresee possible physical risks and opportunities, with an impact on the company’s strategy. • Long-term (7-26 years): This timeframe (2031-2050) is in line with the global objective set by the Paris Agreement to control unprecedented climate change effects by limiting global warming to below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C, in the second half of the century. It foresees long-term structural risks and opportunities for the company. For the physical risks and opportunities, the main driver is resilience. Anticipate and adapt to what can be the consequences of structural changes in climate patterns, such as chronic physical impacts which are not immediate and can only be truly assessed in the long-term. As for the transition risks/ opportunities, it is not contemplated in this time horizon, as its impact is on short medium term. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 174| | | | | | | | | | E1.SBM-3_new \- Explain how the estimated anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks as well as the mitigation actions and resources were considered EDP does not report this indicator as it is related to E1-9, which is not answered because it is in phase in. E1.SBM-3_06 \- Description of results of resilience analysis The climate assessment allows for the identification of the most relevant risks and opportunities arising from different climate paths. Please check the results from the prior exercise in the tables reported in E1.IRO-1_02 and E1.IRO-1_11 data points, as well as the most relevant mitigation measures in place to contain/ prevent risk impacts. According to the Climate Risks Assessment, the EDP Group demonstrates a resilient portfolio in both the RCP 2.6 + NZE (integrated into the AGG scenario) and the RCP 8.5 + Base scenario (integrated into the SMT scenario). Nonetheless, the exercise enabled the identification of the most relevant risks, which informed EDP's adaptation plans for assets that are more exposed. Regarding climate change mitigation, EDP put in place since 2023 its Climate Transition Plan, aligned with TCFD on governance, strategy, risk management and targets and metrics. This plan details what are EDP's decarbonisation targets, that were approved by SBTi, and what are the levers and actions to mitigate emissions towards those targets. Additionally, the EDP Group has climate change adaptation plans in place in its business units to ensure the resilience of infrastructure that may be exposed to extreme events of greater intensity and frequency, compared to reality as we know it today. In 2024 the group companies moved forward with the development of their climate change adaptation plans and the overall commitment being to achieve 100% implementation of the plans by the end of 2025. EDP develops climate adaptation plans by business unit based on the main identified risks according to a structured assessment of climate risks (TCFD), updating scenarios - when possible, using regionalized scenarios, assessing the evolution of climate variables and the main risks and opportunities for each business. These plans aim to improve EDP's infrastructure resilience to climate change, considering both the existing asset portfolio and new investments. Examples of specific adaptation measures developed include the reinforcement of emergency response, such as greater involvement with the authorities and security forces, to improve the response to extreme phenomena. Additionally, measures include enhancing the response capacity of the protection equipment of the hydraulic circuits of the generator sets to cope with the increased intensity and frequency of extreme phenomena (e.g. heavy rainfall and more intense fires). These measures demonstrate EDP's commitment to integrating adaptation solutions that address the identified physical climate risks, as required by the taxonomy. E1.SBM-3_07 - Description of ability to adjust or adapt strategy and business model to climate change EDP's strategy alignment with climate transition is materialized by the definition of a set of metrics and targets, aligned with the financial consolidation criterion. Medium and long-term goals are established and monitored at different times of the year, either monthly, quarterly, or annually. Two complementary sets of metrics are defined, based on 2020, when applicable: • operational metrics and targets, illustrating the evolution of the business in each fundamental pillar to the climate transition • climate metrics and targets, reflecting the evolution of the business in terms of its impact on CO2e emissions, or avoided CO2e, when applicable. For this last group of indicators, EDP uses the GHG Protocol as main reference. The data necessary to calculate the indicators is extracted quarterly from an internal platform, where sustainability information from the Business Units is stored, including environment and climate activity data. The data is consolidated at the corporate level and the information is verified annually by an independent auditor. It is thus possible to monitor the evolution of the indicators against the defined targets, both quarterly and annually. For the Climate Indicators, the methodology used to establish these targets may be summarized as follows: • short/mid-term targets (up to 6 years): based on the consolidated operating data from the multi-annual business plans, the evolution of the referred indicators is simulated, and the respective targets are established. In the case of emission scopes, the categories with the most material weight are considered • medium/long term goals (6 to 26 years): focus only on electricity generation and CO2 emissions. Targets are set based on internal projections under different scenarios of EDP’s portfolio evolution. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 175| | | | | | | | | | Regarding the adaptation strategy, the group has climate change adaptation plans in place in its business units to ensure the resilience of infrastructure that may be exposed to extreme events of greater intensity and frequency, compared to reality as we know it to-day. Adaptation measures start from the selection of the facility in the development phase, with environmental and other complementary studies. After this first step, the Company identifies the characteristics necessary for the equipment to withstand the potential weather conditions of the region, current and future ones. Examples of specific adaptation measures developed include the reinforcement of emergency response, such as greater involvement with the authorities and security forces, to improve the response to extreme phenomena. Additionally, measures include enhancing the response capacity of the protection equipment of the hydraulic circuits of the generator sets to cope with the increased intensity and frequency of extreme phenomena (e.g. heavy rainfall and more intense fires). These measures demonstrate EDP's commitment to integrating adaptation solutions that address the identified physical climate risks, as required by the taxonomy. Although EDP’s strategy has long been focused on sustainability, the issuance of Green Bonds has promoted a greater alignment of the company’s financial policy with its sustainability strategy, while the market’s awareness of this topic is increasing. EDP’s green bond issuances have contributed heavily towards UN Sustainable Development Goal SDG 7 - affordable and clean energy and SDG 13 - Climate Action. EDP issued its first Green Bond in 2018, of €600m. In the end of 2024, sustainable finance amounted to €21.5 Bn: (1) €13.2 Bn in green bonds; (2) €7.6 Bn in sustainability- linked loans and (3) €0.7 Bn in green loans. The green financing (green bonds and loans) represented 67% of the nominal debt. Aligned with EDP’s net zero target, EDP will continue to issue green, as well as other sustainable instruments along its Net Zero journey. Aligning with the strategy for coal generation phaseout, EDP is developing several Hydrogen and Storage Hubs in Iberia on the sites of its existing and former coal power plants, aiming to supply nearby industries with renewable hydrogen. These hubs leverage on the infrastructure existing on these sites (land, electrical, water, effluents, etc.), the proximity to deep water ports and the integration within industrial clusters to create economic activity aligned with the energy transition in regions that have been dependent on fossil fuels. Just Transition is a priority of EDP’s business strategy, and the company is committed to ensuring the social protection of unemployed direct workers, favouring their redeployment of these workers to new job opportunities, ensuring their requalification, and mitigating their relocation. In addition, the reskilling of workers from the thermal power plants creates an opportunity to train human resources while ensuring that no one is left behind. E1.IRO-1_01 \- Description of process in relation to impacts on climate change The main impact of EDP's activity in climate change comes from the operation of thermoelectric power plants resulting in GHG emissions from stationary combustion of coal and natural gas. In short-term, this impact is going to be significantly reduced by the phase-out of coal power plants and, in the near-term (2030), by the phase-out of CCGT power plants. In the long-term, the impact of EDP's operations in climate change will be residual, resulting mainly from fugitive emission and fleet emissions. Regarding the emissions from electricity consumptions and from distribution power losses, the impact on climate change is expected to be mitigated over time as the electric systems and electricity mix become more decarbonised. EDP also has in place an internal climate risk management governance model, integrated into the overall risk management process, to annually review and inform EDP’s strategy resilience to climate change. This process is aligned with TCFD recommendations and ensures an adequate assessment of potential risks and opportunities of business evolution within its Business Units. The process is co-led by the Risk and Sustainability corporate units, with the collaboration of the Energy Planning corporate unit, and supported by a team of specialised interlocutors of the different Business Units (risk-officers, sustainability officers and energy planning areas). It is divided into three phases: 1) validation of EDP’s climate taxonomy; 2) alignment with climate scenarios; 3) quantification by BU and calculation of an aggregate Climate Value@Risk. Climate risk process: • Risk identification: guarantees the exhaustive identification of risks and opportunities in each business and main geographies and in line with the structure defined in the TCFD recommendations • Climate Scenario Alignment: includes the validation and updating of the physical and transition sub-scenarios, as well as the main climate variables (physical and transition) • Risk quantification and Climate Value@Risk aggregation: considers the quantification of the most relevant climate-related risks and opportunities of each business/geography (i.e., with an impact on EBITDA of over €1m). Climate risks and opportunities with a material impact (over €1m) are periodically calculated based on the analysis of the impact on EBITDA and reported by each business/geography and duly aggregated through a Climate Value@Risk (considering a set of assumptions of correlation between risks and opportunities). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 176| | | | | | | | | | EDP's Investor Relations & ESG (IR&ESG) works in close collaboration with the Risk, thus facilitating the integration of climate-related transition and physical risks into the company’s risk profile and risk management procedures (assessment, integrated analyses of return-risk, mitigation strategies and monitoring). The Head of IR&ESG reports directly, at least monthly, to the company's EBD in charge of sustainability. Reports include updates on the implementation of climate-related policies, actions and targets (e.g. corporate CO2 reduction targets; results of in-depth climate risk analysis (e.g. value at risk from climate change-induced structural change in water, affecting the operation of our hydropower plants); climate-related inputs for analysis of investments/divestments; and proposal for updated environmental policies, actions and targets. EDP employs several periodic processes to monitor it. Including: 1) annual climate risk assessment, to evaluate and quantify impact of policy and legal risks. 2) annual business plan, budget, and risk map, which focus on the short to medium term costs associated with climate risks. 3) quarterly risk appetite dashboard to track legal and compliance risks across the EDP Group. 4) dedicated follow- up by legal departments on the progression of existing and potential litigation, with semi-annual reports. E1.IRO-1_02 - Description of process in relation to climate-related physical risks in own operations and along value chain EDP has in place an annual climate risk assessment process which is structured in three distinct phases: (1) risk identification, that guarantees the exhaustive identification of physical and transitions risks and opportunities in each business and main geographies, in line with TCFD recommendations; (2) climate scenario alignment, that includes the validation and updating of the physical and transition sub-scenarios, as well as the main climate variables (physical and transition); and finally (3) risk quantification and Climate Value@Risk aggregation, that aggregates the quantification of the most relevant climate-related risks and opportunities of each business/ geography (i.e., with an impact on EBITDA of over €1m). EDP has developed aggregated scenarios, based on physical and transition scenarios to assess the impact of climate risks and opportunities. Regarding physical scenarios, EDP uses IPCC scenarios to assess climate-related physical risks, considering forecasts for the long-term evolution of precipitation, wind patterns, and temperature. EDP uses IPCC’s scenarios - RCP 8.5, RCP 4.5 and RCP 2.6 (the most aggressive CO2 emission reduction scenario), to identify the most relevant chronic and acute risks and evaluate potential impacts on its electricity generation and distribution activities from the present time until 2050. As physical risks require a long-term analysis to identify any structural change in their pattern or frequency/severity of occurrence, the focus of the physical risks and opportunities analysis is from 2030 to 2050. The evolution of the physical variables, aligned with RCP scenario, was provided by a specialised external consultant, using the Copernicus database and other international databases. Assuming the physical variables' variation (average and worst case scenario - P95%) for the different time horizons (2030 and 2050) and different RCP scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5), the Business Units assess and quantify the impact of those changes in their businesses. For example, while the loss of revenues due to the reduction of water availability is calculated assuming a correlation between precipitation and hydro generation and its impact on EDP’s hydro portfolio, for extremely cold days, the loss of revenues results from not generating due to malfunction of turbines/ panels. The following table shows, for 2030-2050 period, the potential average annual impact on the EDP Group of the relevant physical risks (maximum loss P95%) and opportunities (minimum gain P5%) (chronic and acute), considering the physical scenarios RCP 2.6 (integrated in AGG scenario) and RCP 8.5 (integrated in SMT scenario) and relating them to the mitigation measures in place. | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- PHYSICAL RISK | | MAIN IMPACT| BUSINESS AREA| QUANTIFICATION | MITIGATION MEASURES €0-€50m | €50m- €100m| >€100m CHRONIC | Temperature increase| Rise of energy losses Loss of efficiency Demand increase| EDP Group| AGG: OPPORTUNITY & RISK SMT: OPPORTUNITY & RISK| | | Natural mitigation, i.e., an increase in temperature will result in an increase in demand.

EDP’s business strategy is shaped to mitigate chronic risk through a diversified generation portfolio in terms of technologies and geographies. Geographic diversification significantly reduces the risk, as structural reduction in precipitation is not likely to occur in all geographies and with the same magnitude. An example of this is the investment in other renewable sources besides hydro (i.e., solar and wind) in different markets (European markets, North and South America, and APAC). To manage the acute risk, EDP has strengthened its business continuity and crisis management capabilities, implemented a set of preventive measures, and defined a comprehensive range of insurance policies (property damage and civil and environmental responsibility). E1.IRO-1_03 - Climate-related hazards have been identified over short-, medium- and long-term time horizons The EDP Group assesses the impact of physical variables, specifically the increasing frequency and severity of extreme events, by considering all assets impacted by this risk. This includes assets in EDP Produção, E-Redes, EDP Comercial, EDP Spain, EDPR, and EDP Brazil. The analysis is conducted under three different scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5) from 2030 to 2050, as changes in physical variables, particularly extreme weather events, are most relevant in the mid to long term. The information provided by climate scenarios is regionalized, and the most relevant assets exposed are identified. This estimate of financial impact considers the average and maximum financial impacts of historical damage to generation assets or distribution networks, based on the impacts experienced from historical events within EDP Produção, E-REDES, EDP Comercial, EDP Spain, EDPR, and EDP Brasil. According with the data, provided by an external consultant and based on Copernicus data source, the increase of the number of days subjected to extreme weather events (wind and precipitation) for 2030 is around +5 to +10 days in Portugal, +5 to +15 days in Spain and +5 to +10 days in Brazil (country average), and for 2050 is around +5 to +15 days in Portugal, +5 to +20 days in Spain and +5 to +15 days in Brazil (country average), depending on the RCP scenario and considering both average and worst case scenario (P95%). Report of 2025 (following year) impacts are not relevant, as changes in physical variables, particularly for extreme weather events, are most relevant in the mid to long term. Extreme events impact EDP increasing operational costs, and reducing sales (in case of generation assets). E1.IRO-1_04 - Undertaking has screened whether assets and business activities may be exposed to climate-related hazards For assets impacted by increasing frequency and severity of extreme events the analysis includes assets in EDP Produção, E-Redes, EDP Comercial, EDP Spain, EDPR, and EDP Brasil. The analysis is conducted under three different scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5) from 2030 to 2050, as changes in physical variables, particularly extreme weather events, are most relevant in the mid to long term. E1.IRO-1_05 - Short-, medium- and long-term time horizons have been defined The assessment of each material risk is done according to 3-time horizons (1, 10 and 30 years) and under 3 different climate scenarios. The exercise is consolidated at group level, by Business Unit and by business segment. • Short-term (0-1 years): This timeframe (2024-2025) encompasses EDP’s Business Plan time horizon, in which EDP presents its commitments for the period. It allows to anticipate the most immediate consequences of possible transition risks and opportunities. • Medium-term (2-6 years): This timeframe corresponds to the 2026-2030 period, for which EDP has several energy transition targets defined. It allows to anticipate possible transition risks and opportunities – namely how governments can structure viable roadmaps towards carbon neutrality (policies and regulation) and the role companies such as EDP can play in supporting this transition with the knowledge and the technology required to deliver these roadmaps, under certain economic conditions – as well as it can also foresee possible physical risks and opportunities, with an impact on the company’s strategy. • Long-term (7-26 years): This timeframe (2031-2050) is in line with the global objective set by the Paris Agreement to control unprecedented climate change effects by limiting global warming to below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C, in the second half of the century. It foresees long-term structural risks and opportunities for the company. For the physical risks and opportunities, the main driver is resilience. Anticipate and adapt to what can be the consequences of structural changes in climate patterns, such as chronic physical impacts which are not immediate and can only be truly assessed in the long-term. As for the transition risks/ opportunities, it is not contemplated in this time horizon, as its impact is on short medium term. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 178| | | | | | | | | | E1.IRO-1_06 \- Extent to which assets and business activities may be exposed and are sensitive to identified climate-related hazards has been assessed The EDP Group assesses the impact of physical variables, specifically the increasing frequency and severity of extreme events, by considering all assets impacted by this risk in Portugal, Spain, USA and Brazil . This includes assets in EDP Produção, E-Redes, EDP Comercial, EDP Spain, EDPR, and EDP Brasil. The analysis is conducted under three different scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5) from 2030 to 2050, as changes in physical variables, particularly extreme weather events, are most relevant in the mid to long term. The information provided by climate scenarios is regionalized, and the most relevant assets exposed are identified. This estimate of financial impact considers the average and maximum financial impacts of historical damage to generation assets or distribution networks, based on the impacts experienced from historical events within EDP Produção, E-REDES, EDP Comercial, EDP Spain, EDPR, and EDP Brasil. The minimum values reported are based in Maximum Loss (ML) of RCP 2.6, and the maximum values in ML of RCP 8.5. The analysis follows these steps: (1) review historical data of storms or other extreme events, analysing frequency, average impact of the sample, and worst-case event as a proxy for maximum impact to establish the base case; (2) consider the additional frequency of occurrence regarding the scenario and the time horizon analysed, provided by Copernicus data source (for 2030 +5 to +10 days in Portugal, +5 to +15 days in Spain and +5 to +10 days in Brazil, and for 2050 +5 to +15 days in Portugal, +5 to +20 days in Spain and +5 to +15 days in Brazil, depending on the RCP scenario and considering both average and worst case scenario); and (3) using statistical data of additional frequency, average, and maximum impacts, calculate a loss distribution to compute the annual expected and maximum losses. E1.IRO-1_07 \- Identification of climate-related hazards and assessment of exposure and sensitivity are informed by high emissions climate scenarios EDP uses IPCC’s scenarios - RCP 8.5, RCP 4.5 and RCP 2.6 (the most aggressive CO2 emission reduction scenario), to identify the most relevant chronic and acute risks and evaluate potential impacts on its electricity generation and distribution activities from the present time until 2050. As physical risks require a long-term analysis to identify any structural change in their pattern or frequency/severity of occurrence, the focus of the physical risks and opportunities analysis is from 2030 to 2050. Physical parameters are updated based on data sources aligned with RCP scenarios (e.g., World Bank Group, Copernicus, and some local data sources) and areas access and quantify the impact of those changes in their businesses. Physical scenarios in place: • RCP 2.6: considers (1) compliance with the Paris Agreement; (2) that the energy system reaches carbon neutrality by 2070; (3) that the temperature rises between 1.5ºC and 2ºC; and (4) that the average sea level rises by 0.4m and ocean acidification begins to recover by 2050 • RCP 4.5: considers that (1) the Paris Agreement is not fulfilled; (2) the temperature rises between 2ºC and 3ºC and extreme temperatures become more frequent; and (3) the sea level rises by 0.5m and many species are unable to adapt • RCP 8.5: considers that (1) the Paris Agreement is not fulfilled; (2) the temperature rises by more than 3°C; (3) extreme events become more frequent and there are large variations in rainfall; and (4) the sea level rises by 0.7 metres. As previously referred, the analysis is conducted under the three different scenarios from 2030 to 2050, as changes in physical variables, particularly extreme weather events, are most relevant in the mid to long term. Additional frequency of occurrence regarding the scenario and the time horizon analysed, provided by Copernicus data source (for 2030 +5 to +10 days in Portugal, +5 to +15 days in Spain and +5 to +10 days in Brazil, and for 2050 +5 to +15 days in Portugal, +5 to +20 days in Spain and +5 to +15 days in Brazil, depending on the RCP scenario and considering both average and worst case scenario) is considered, up on the historical events of each region, to estimate most exposed regions and assets. The sensitivity of financial estimates are attached to climate parameters' change, namely regarding additional days of extreme weather events vs base case. For high emission scenarios (RCP 8.5) the change in the number of extreme weather days is higher than in low emissions scenario (RCP 2.6). E1.IRO-1_08 - Explanation of how climate-related scenario analysis has been used to inform identification and assessment of physical risks over short, medium and long-term Climate scenarios integrate physical and transition dimensions and consider a 30-year horizon. Their narratives were built focusing on the various dimensions, namely social, regulatory and political, economic and technological, and energy. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 179| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- CLIMATE SCENARIOS | | PHYSICAL SCENARIOS | | TRANSITION SCENARIOS AGG (As green as it gets)| | RCP 2.6: considers (1) compliance with the Paris Agreement; (2) that the energy system reaches carbon neutrality by 2070; (3) that the temperature rises between 1.5ºC and 2ºC; and (4) that the average sea level rises by 0.4m and ocean acidification begins to recover by 2050| | Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) with internal adjustments: considers (1) the global energy sector reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050; (2) economic growth and job creation related to sustainable energy; (3) a more resilient and cleaner energy BGT (A bit greener than today)| | RCP 4.5: considers that (1) the Paris Agreement is not fulfilled; (2) the temperature rises between 2ºC and 3ºC and extreme temperatures become more frequent; and (3) the sea level rises by 0.5m and many species are unable to adapt| | Base Scenario: assumes that (1) the announced policies are generally complied with, and no additional effort is made towards sustainable development; and (2) policies, albeit limited, are adopted to reduce the use of fossil fuels, but demand is still high SMT (Slow move to transition)| | RCP 8.5: considers that (1) the Paris Agreement is not fulfilled; (2) the temperature rises by more than 3°C; (3) extreme events become more frequent and there are large variations in rainfall; and (4) the sea level rises by 0.7 metres| The evolution of the physical variables was provided by a specialised external consultant, using the Copernicus database and other international databases. The transition variables, namely the evolution of prices, energy demand and energy mix, are based on scenarios from the IEA and other international sources (e.g., Aurora, Baringa, among others), with the necessary adaptations to the countries where EDP is present. As the reference scenarios (IEA, Baringa, AFRY, Aurora, IHS and S&P) do not have specific data for Portugal and Spain, some internal adjustments were considered to reflect EDP’s specific geographies, namely installed capacity, generation mix, energy demand, among others. Quantification, based on the individual analysis of the impact on EBITDA of each risk and opportunity (physical and transition), is carried out by each Platform and for each geography. This quantification considers the identification of the physical variables and their evolution according to the experts, and the political/social/economic/technological narratives related to the different scenarios. The quantification method depends on each risk and opportunity using, whenever possible, the direct method (expected loss/gain and maximum loss/gain at P95%) or, alternatively, the indirect method (probability/frequency, average impact and maximum impact at P95%). For the purposes of the group's analysis, the consolidation of losses and gains is carried out considering correlations among risks and opportunities and among geographies. Short/Mid-term risk (1 to 6 years, specifically 2025 and 2030) is mainly related to transition risks, namely energy market design, prices, regulatory framework, and technological developments. Mid/ Long-term risk (6 to 26 years, specifically 2030 and 2050) is mainly related to physical risks that may affect EDP's asset portfolio, namely regarding extreme temperatures, extreme wind and rain events, and structural changes in physical parameters. E1.IRO-1_09 \- Description of process in relation to climate-related transition risks and opportunities in own operations and along value chain EDP Group conducts a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to assess and manage climate- related transition risks and opportunities across its operations and value chain. This includes annual and quarterly risk assessments, budget planning, business planning, energy outlook scenario analysis, emerging risks surveys, and water-related risk evaluations. The EDP Group conducts an annual Climate Risk Assessment and Quantification process, spearheaded by the corporate Risk and IR&ESG functions. This comprehensive process evaluates the primary physical and transition climate risks and opportunities across all businesses with significant turnover, including EDP Produção, E-REDES, EDP Comercial, EDP Spain, EDPR, and EDP Brazil. The assessment spans the Iberia, Brazil, and US markets, covering renewable generation, networks, and client solutions businesses. The Climate Risk Assessment and Quantification process involves the following key steps: (1) Risk identification – Guarantees the exhaustive identification of risks and opportunities in each business and main geographies and in line with the structure defined in the TCFD recommendations; (2) Climate Scenario Alignment – Includes the validation and updating of the physical and transition sub-scenarios, as well as the main climate variables (physical and transition); and (3) Risk quantification and Climate Value@Risk aggregation – Considers the quantification of the most relevant climate-related risks and opportunities of each business/ geography (i.e., with an impact on EBITDA of over €1m). Additionally, the Risk function develops a Risk Appetite Dashboard every three months to monitor and update EDP’s exposure to key risk sources. This includes an annual risk map exercise with monthly interim updates, identifying the most relevant risks, including climate-related physical and transition risks, within budget and business plan time horizons. Risks are mapped according to expected loss (average scenario) and maximum loss (worst-case scenario), allowing for prioritization based on materiality and setting a focused risk agenda. Climate-related strategic risks, such as physical risks (e.g., structural reduction of hydro productivity) and transition risks (e.g., changes in market design, volumes, and prices), are assessed through sensitivity and stochastic analysis at the group level, consolidating all geographies and business area. Additionally, operational risks related to generation and distribution asset losses and damages from increased frequency of extreme weather events are also assessed. The budget process is an annual exercise to plan the year ahead, encompassing all geographies and business areas. The Risk function identifies possible transition risks for the next year, impacting EDP’s results through sensitivity and stochastic analysis of various indicators, such as the impact of hydro coefficient variation under several sensitivity scenarios and commodity pricing). The business plan is a bi-annual prospective exercise of EDP’s activity for the next five years, considering risks | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 180| | | | | | | | | | that may affect EDP’s results, including climate-related risks. This encompasses all geographies and business areas. Strategic decisions, business plans, and targets are defined after a structured reflection on market conditions, considering historical and prospective evolution of transition risks (e.g., regulation and policies, costs of technologies) and physical risks (e.g., renewable volumes). Sensitivity and stochastic analysis to EBITDA@Risk and NI@Risk according to different scenarios are also performed. An annual energy outlook scenario analysis is performed by energy planning, based on World Energy Outlook scenarios, to prospect transition risks and opportunities for the medium and long term (up to 2050). It sets scenarios according to different decarbonization paths and defines various evolution trends for demand, fuels and CO2 prices, capacities, among others, forecasting different generation mixes, renewable generation shares, and capacity changes. The emerging risks survey, conducted at least every two years, assesses the main concerns of EDP Group top management for the next 10 years, focusing on strategic risks across all geographies and business areas. The first exercise identified key trends and defined a framework based on a benchmark of several sources (internal and external), focusing on six dimensions: geopolitics, economic, social, technological, environmental, and sectorial. In 2019, the first cyclical process for emerging risks assessment was launched, involving interviews and surveys with top management, followed by the consolidation of results, comparison with external sources, and the definition of an action plan. Climate risks and opportunities (physical and transition) are present in several dimensions, including the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events and a structural reduction of precipitation (physical risks), as well as rising political and regulatory pressures for decarbonization and other related sectorial risks (transition risks). Water-related risk evaluation is integrated into the company’s development strategy and business plan, supporting the decision of geographical and tech diversification, and highlighting the most relevant risks – guaranteeing strategic resilience in the long term. Additionally, at an operational level, Environmental Impact Assessments, like the In-depth Water Risk Analysis (namely water stress asset exposure), help mitigate water risks at the local level. EDP uses the WRI Aqueduct and the Water Risk Filter tool to conduct a high-level water stress assessment, by mapping all its thermal and hydro assets against the Baseline Water Stress (BWS; watershed level), applying the threshold BWS 40%. Wind generation and distribution assets are excluded given their low dependency on water availability. A downscaling analysis at the local level is then performed for all power plants identified in water-stressed areas, using information from National Governmental Agencies (location-specific indicators) and the company’s operational teams (asset water dependency, local competitive uses). Water-related risks in new investments are analysed through scenario analysis with water availability and regulation effects in energy prices and volumes, as well as hydro resource evaluation integrating -term effects of climate change and impact on new hydro capacity. This assessment is updated on a 2-3-year basis or whenever a new project requires it. E1.IRO -1_10 - Transition events have been identified over short-, medium- and long-term time horizons Considering a 30-year horizon and for the different scenarios defined, narratives focusing on the various dimensions (social, regulatory and political, economic and technological, and energy) were constructed and are presented next. Transition scenarios: • Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) with internal adjustments: considers (1) the global energy sector reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050; (2) economic growth and job creation related to sustainable energy; (3) a more resilient and cleaner energy system; and (4) full international co-operation for sustainable development • Base Scenario: assumes that (1) the announced policies are generally complied with, and no additional effort is made towards sustainable development; and (2) policies, albeit limited, are adopted to reduce the use of fossil fuels, but demand is still high. EDP defines short-term as 0 to 1 year, medium-term as 2 to 6 years, and long-term as 7 to 26 years. The short-term time horizon (2024-2025) corresponds with EDP's business plan time horizon. The medium-term time horizon (2026-2030) corresponds to the period in which EDP has defined several energy transition targets. The long-term time horizon (2031-2050) is in line with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming. • Short-term (0-1 years): This timeframe (2024-2025) encompasses EDP’s Business Plan time horizon, in which EDP presents its commitments for the period. It allows to anticipate the most immediate consequences of possible transition risks and opportunities • Medium-term (2-6 years): This timeframe corresponds to the 2026-2030 period, for which EDP has several energy transition targets defined. It allows to anticipate possible transition risks and opportunities – namely how governments can structure viable roadmaps towards carbon neutrality (policies and regulation) and the role companies such as EDP can play in supporting this transition with the knowledge and the technology required to deliver these roadmaps, under certain economic conditions – as well as it can also foresee possible physical risks and opportunities, with an impact on the company’s strategy | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 181| | | | | | | | | | • Long-term (7-26 years): This timeframe (2031-2050) is in line with the global objective set by the Paris Agreement. As for the transition risks/opportunities, it is not contemplated in this time horizon, as its impact is on short medium term. EDP states that short/mid-term risks are mostly related to transition risks. These include energy market design, prices, regulatory framework, and technological development. EDP also notes that long-term risks are mostly related to physical risks, such as extreme events of temperature, wind, and precipitation. As previously referred, EDP considers three different scenarios from 2025 to 2030, as changes in transition variables are most relevant in the short to mid term. For example, exposure to litigation is assessed by calculating potential additional costs related to fines, legal expenses, and increased compliance costs, considering a percentage increase of 0.05% vs. base case for each time horizon analysed. Additionally, EDP conducts an energy outlook scenario analysis to project the impact of transition risks and opportunities for the medium- and long-term. This analysis considered different decarbonization paths and trends in demand, fuels, and CO2 prices, which led to forecasts of different generation mixes and renewable energy generation shares. EDP also considered several transition risks. E1.IRO-1_11 \- Undertaking has screened whether assets and business activities may be exposed to transition events Considering a 30-year horizon and for the different scenarios defined, narratives focussing on the various dimensions (social, regulatory and political, economic and technological, and energy) were constructed and are presented below. Transition scenarios: • Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) with internal adjustments: considers (1) the global energy sector reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050; (2) economic growth and job creation related to sustainable energy; (3) a more resilient and cleaner energy system; and (4) full international co-operation for sustainable development • Base Scenario: assumes that (1) the announced policies are generally complied with, and no additional effort is made towards sustainable development; and (2) policies, albeit limited, are adopted to reduce the use of fossil fuels, but demand is still high. Assuming the transition variables evolve for the different time horizons (2025 and 2030) and different transition scenarios (NZE and Base case), the Business Units assess and quantify the impact of those changes in their businesses, i.e, the exposure to transition events that impact its business, and which is reported in the table bellow. For example, the increase in environmental litigation scrutiny is calculated assuming historical data of costs aggravated by +0.05% vs. base case for each time horizon analysed, as proxy for more rigorous environmental regulation. | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- TRANSITION RISK | | | | | | | MAIN IMPACT| BUSINESS AREA| QUANTIFICATION | MITIGATION MESAURES €0-€50m | €50m- €100m| >€100m REGULATORY AND LEGAL| Increase exposure to environmental litigation| EDP Group (mainly EDPR)| AGG: RISK SMT: RISK| | | Strategy of diversification by technology, business area and geography, asset maturity, as well as through a close monitoring of government regulation and policies Changes in product regulation MARKET | Loss of revenue due to new competitors| EDP Group (mainly Generation and EDPR)| AGG: RISK SMT: RISK| | | Focus on the electrification of the economy (through energy services, EVs, among others) as an offsetting strategy Effect of additional environmental measures on market price variables TECHNOLOGICAL | Failure to follow up/ delay in adopting new technologies| EDP Group (mainly Generation and EDPR)| AGG: RISK SMT: RISK| | | Close monitoring of market trends, technological development (including emerging technologies across value chain) together with a clear Innovation Policy focused on the main trends in the sector Devaluation/ replacement of assets due to technological obsolescence REPUTATIONAL | Stakeholders’ concerns regarding the company's path to climate transition| EDP Group| AGG: RISK SMT: RISK| | | Electricity sector has traditionally been seen as a net contributor to climate change.

EDP quantifies climate risks and opportunities with a material impact (over €1m) based on the analysis of the impact on EBITDA and reports them by each platform/region. The results are aggregated through a Climate Value@Risk, which considers correlations between risks and opportunities, and between geographies. EDP assesses each material risk according to three-time horizons: 2025, 2030 and 2050. This analysis is conducted under three different climate scenarios. The exercise is then consolidated at the group level, by platform, and by business segment. An example of transition risk may surge from decarbonization and joint efforts for a cleaner economy that already introduced some legal and regulatory additional requirements to fulfil international commitments. As time goes by, it is expected a tightening of requirements, introducing more restrictive measures (incl. to renewable generation) and increasing exposure to litigation (i.e., leading to additional costs related with possible fines and other legal costs as well as higher compliance costs). The EDP Group assesses the impact of transition risks in short and medium term, particularly litigation exposure, by considering potential additional costs related to fines, legal expenses, and increased compliance costs. E1.IRO-1_13 \- Identification of transition events and assessment of exposure has been informed by climate-related scenario analysis Climate scenarios, updated annually, integrate physical and transition dimensions and consider a 30-year horizon. Their narratives were built focusing on the various dimensions, namely social, regulatory and political, economic and technological, and energy. The transition variables, namely the evolution of prices, energy demand and energy mix, are based on scenarios from the IEA and other international sources (e.g., Aurora, Baringa, among others), with the necessary adaptations to the countries where EDP is present. For the scenario that limits climate change to 1.5º vs the base case scenario: • Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) with internal adjustments: considers (1) the global energy sector reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050; (2) economic growth and job creation related to sustainable energy; (3) a more resilient and cleaner energy • Base Scenario: assumes that (1) the announced policies are generally complied with, and no additional effort is made towards sustainable development; and (2) policies, albeit limited, are adopted to reduce the use of fossil fuels, but demand is still high. Base on these transition scenarios, there were several transition events that were identified to have a significant impact (>€1m), namely, mandates on and regulation of existing products and services, mandates on and regulation of existing production processes, exposure to litigation, substitution of existing products and services with lower emissions options, changing customer behaviour, uncertainty in market signals, increased stakeholders concern and negative stakeholders concern. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 183| | | | | | | | | | E1.IRO-1_14 \- Assets and business activities that are incompatible with or need significant efforts to be compatible with transition to climate-neutral economy have been identified Our portfolio is fully aligned with the goals of the energy transition. We are committed to sustainable practices, and this includes a strategic plan to phase out thermal power plants within a specified timeline. This ensures that our energy production becomes increasingly cleaner and more environmentally friendly over time. EDP has aligned all its activities with the climate transition through a robust strategy that includes assessing climate risks and opportunities, aligning with international climate goals, and engaging with stakeholders. The company's Climate Resilience Strategy utilizes three climate scenarios to evaluate and enhance resilience, aiming to reduce annual risks by about 40% by 2050. This strategy is complemented by EDP's commitment to the Paris Agreement, where it actively collaborates with governments and other entities to support climate action that aims to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Furthermore, EDP is promoting renewable energy, targeting an increase in its renewable capacity to approximately ≈23 GW by 2026 and establishing a business unit focused on green hydrogen projects. This shift towards renewables is part of a broader strategy to transition away from coal and other fossil fuels. Additionally, EDP's ongoing engagement with stakeholders—including customers, public institutions, and business associations—plays a crucial role in promoting emission reduction and energy efficiency, ensuring the company's strategies are well-aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement and broader climate objectives. E1.IRO-1_new - Explain the key forces and drivers taken into consideration in each scenario used for the undertaking's scenario analysis and why these are relevant to the undertaking EDP considers several key forces and drivers in its scenario analysis. These forces and drivers are crucial for understanding the potential impacts on the company's operations and strategy. One of the primary forces is finance and insurance, which includes the cost of capital and the sensitivity of capital to nature impacts and dependencies. These factors are significant as they affect the financial viability of projects and investments, influencing the company's ability to fund and sustain its operations. Stakeholder and customer demands also play a critical role. Consumer sentiment, attention to impact, and the impact of nature footprint on reputation are essential drivers. The ability to deliver services that are environmentally sustainable can affect consumer satisfaction and market position. Additionally, sensitivity to the inequity of nature impacts can influence stakeholder support, making it imperative for EDP to consider these aspects in its strategic planning. The macro and microeconomy, including domestic growth, also influence EDP's scenario analysis. Economic growth at the national level can affect demand for energy and other services provided by the company, impacting its overall performance and strategic direction. Regulators, legal, and policy regimes are another set of driving forces. Global regulation, the political impact of science, the level of action (local to global), global targets, and methodologies for science-based targets shape the framework within which EDP operates. These regulatory factors can drive corporate strategy and necessitate compliance with international environmental goals. Relevant technology and science, particularly generation technologies and the generation mix, are crucial for EDP's future operations. The adoption of new technologies and the transition to renewable energy sources are vital for maintaining competitiveness and achieving sustainability goals. Physical risks, such as chronic water shortages and extreme weather events, pose significant challenges. Water shortages can affect the company's hydroelectric capacity, while heat and cold waves can increase electricity demand, presenting both risks and opportunities for EDP. Transition opportunities, including electric mobility, energy efficiency, decentralized production, and sustainable mobility solutions, present avenues for growth. The shift towards electric vehicles, energy-efficient solutions, and distributed solar PV generation can provide new business opportunities and help EDP capture market opportunities during the transition to a low-carbon economy. E1.IRO-1_new - Explain the key inputs and constraints of the scenarios used for the undertaking's scenario analysis, including their level of detail EDP employs a detailed and robust approach to scenario analysis, incorporating various key inputs and constraints. The scenarios are built from reference scenarios provided by reputable sources such as Baringa, AFRY, Aurora, IHS, and S&P, and are designed to reflect a range of possible futures, including both optimistic and pessimistic outcomes. This comprehensive approach ensures that EDP can capture the full spectrum of potential risks and opportunities. One of the primary inputs in EDP's scenario analysis is the integration of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE). This scenario is used to evaluate the impact on EDP's business portfolio, considering the company's Business Plan. Internal assumptions are also employed for demand forecasts and taxation, ensuring that the analysis is tailored to EDP's | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 184| | | | | | | | | | specific context and strategic objectives. The scenario analysis and stress tests are performed against the current Over the Counter (OTC) scenario, providing a benchmark for comparison. The rationale for choosing these scenarios is based on their ability to provide a comprehensive assessment of climate-related physical risks and opportunities. EDP uses the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenarios, including RCP 8.5, RCP 4.5, and RCP 2.6, to identify the most relevant chronic and acute risks and evaluate potential impacts. This approach ensures that EDP's scenario analysis is grounded in scientifically robust and widely accepted projections. Furthermore, the scenarios consider macro and microeconomic factors, such as domestic growth and globalizing markets, which influence the broader economic context in which EDP operates. The central scenario, for instance, represents substantial progress in renewable power, accounting for three-quarters of European electricity supply by 2050. However, it acknowledges that this progress may not be sufficient to achieve net-zero emissions in the energy system by that time, highlighting the need for continued efforts and innovation. E1.IRO-1_15 - Explanation of how climate-related scenario analysis has been used to inform identification and assessment of transition risks and opportunities over short, medium and long-term In the short-term, the primary focus is on understanding the immediate implications of potential transition risks and opportunities, particularly within the context of EDP Group's Business Plan. For instance, the company evaluates the impact of carbon pricing mechanisms on electricity pool prices. While EDP Group acknowledges the role of CO2 pricing as a catalyst for decarbonization, it anticipates a limited direct impact on its operational results due to its minimal reliance on thermal generation. Additionally, the company analyses the potential consequences of evolving national legislation on permitting and regulatory requirements, recognizing this as a significant risk that necessitates careful consideration in its short-term planning. Looking towards the medium-term, the focus shifts to anticipating the evolution of transition risks and opportunities, especially concerning governmental actions aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and the role EDP can play in facilitating this transformation. The company assesses potential new market opportunities, particularly in emerging countries, driven by the growing demand for renewable energy. Recognizing this as a significant opportunity, EDP is actively pursuing expansion into new markets. Furthermore, the company evaluates the implications of technological advancements in renewable energy and energy storage, acknowledging the necessity to invest in new technologies to maintain competitiveness and ensure the resilience of its business. In the long-term, the focus is on understanding the structural risks and opportunities linked to the global objective of limiting global warming, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. The primary concern for physical risks and opportunities is resilience. For example, EDP analyses the long-term impact of climate change on water availability, recognizing the potential for reduced hydroelectric production due to decreased precipitation. In response, the company has adjusted its portfolio by reducing its exposure to hydro generation in regions susceptible to significant precipitation declines. Additionally, EDP evaluates the impact of climate change on the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, considering the potential damage to electricity distribution assets. To address this risk, the company has implemented measures to strengthen business continuity, crisis management, and insurance coverage. E1.IRO-1_16 \- Explanation of how climate scenarios used are compatible with critical climate-related assumptions made in financial statements EDP’s prioritization of investment in renewable generation started in 2006, through the anticipation of major trends in the energy market and the support to the vision of a society capable of reducing CO2 emissions, by replacing thermal with renewable energy, decentralizing generation, promoting smart grids and energy storage, and encouraging the demand for renewable electricity. More recently, under the recent Updated Strategic Plan 2024-2026, EDP reinforced its ambition even further to reach Net Zero by 2040 by including our Scope 3 emissions in our targets. With a new baseline year set for 2020, EDP aims to reach net-zero greenhouse emissions across the value chain by 2040, with ambitious mid-term targets by 2030. These targets have been approved by SBTi under the Net Zero Standard. Considering the risks related to climate change and the commitments established under the Paris Agreement, EDP Group has decided, since 2019, to achieve science-based targets. The last updated occurred in 2022, with a baseline year set for 2020, EDP aims to reach net-zero emissions across the value chain by 2040, with ambitious mid-term targets by 2030. The overall goal is to reduce 90% of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2040 vs. 2020 with near term targets by 2030. These targets have been approved by SBTi under the Net Zero Standard, in early 2023, thus being aligned with the 1.5ºC trajectory, i.e., limiting of global warming to 1.5 °C in line with the Paris Agreement. The reflection of these commitments in terms of its impact on assets, liabilities and profit and loss are explicit in the notes to the EDP consolidated and company financial statements. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 185| | | | | | | | | | E1.MDR-P_01-06 - Policies in place to manage its material impacts, risks and opportunities related to climate change mitigation and adaptation To support the management of material impacts, risks and opportunities related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, EDP has in place: Environmental Policy The Environmental Policy establishes EDP’s vision and commitments regarding the management of environmental and climate issues, the guiding principles for the ongoing improvement of environmental performance, in the short and long term, and the foundations for the definition of objectives and targets for the EDP Group in considering the expectations of stakeholders. Based on the group's strategic priorities, EDP also makes specific commitments in order to protect the environment and enhance natural capital: CLIMATE CHANGE Achieve carbon neutrality in its activity through: • increasing its renewable energy portfolio • ongoing reduction of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions • providing low carbon energy solutions to its customers, promoting electrification of consumption and energy efficiency • promote climate adaptation, maximizing the resilience of its assets to climate change. CIRCULAR ECONOMY Promoting efficient use of natural resources in its activities, wherever possible, within the framework of a life-cycle analysis, in particular: • minimize the use of natural resources necessary to properly carry out its activities • optimize and efficiently manage internal products and services, promoting a circular economy for our customers • maximize the recovery of waste and its reintroduction into the economy as by-products • pay special attention to the water resource, promoting its sustainable management, either by minimizing its consumption or by mitigating the impacts on its quality. BIODIVERSITY • Contribute to reducing the loss of biodiversity, promoting the mitigation hierarchy, and in the long-term aim for a net benefit in terms of biodiversity • Contribute to deepening scientific knowledge of biodiversity and ecosystem services, namely through the establishment of partnerships. The Environmental Policy applies to companies fully owned, directly, or indirectly, by the EDP Group and to companies in which EDP is in a dominant relationship within the limits established in the Binding Instructions and in the Policies and Procedures in force. The Environmental Policy is also applicable to entities that provide services at EDP facilities and infrastructures or on behalf of and representing the companies that make up the EDP Group. EDP will also promote the application of the principles of this policy among other participants in the value chain, namely suppliers, joint ventures, customers, or other partners. The scope of the Environmental Policy is for the group of companies that make up the EDP Group, however, taking into account the specificities of each of these companies, there may be case-by- case adaptations to the aforementioned Policy in the following cases: i. some commitments may not be applicable to the reality of a particular company ii. specific commitments may be added, given the context in which a company carries out its activities. Each of the companies that make up the EDP Group is responsible for communicating to stakeholders the Environmental Policy and the commitments assumed, as well as the environmental performance achieved within the specific context of each of them, with the appropriate periodicity and detail. In the event that the companies that make up the EDP Group identify context-specific aspects, they must refer to the respective framework within the EDP Group’s Environmental Policy. The Executive Board of Directors is responsible for approving the Environment Policy and its successive revisions. The Sustainability Committee is responsible for assessing the proposals submitted to the Executive Board of Directors. The Sustainability Department is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Policy at the group level, as well as any revisions. The Business Units are responsible for implementing the Policy within the scope of their activity and taking the initiative of proposing suggestions for changes to the Policy to the Sustainability Department. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 186| | | | | | | | | | External references for the implementation of the Environmental Policy are ISO 14001:2015; ISO 26000:2010; Global Reporting Initiative; UN Global Compact; ISO 14040:2005/AMD:2020; Sustainable Development Goals - United Nations 2030 Agenda; OECD Guidelines to Multinational Enterprises. Identifying and integrating stakeholder expectations in the environmental performance of the EDP Group must comply with the Stakeholder Management Methodology Guide in force. Climate Transition Plan Sets a baseline of EDP's decarbonization strategy supported mainly by the business plan 23-26 under a broader pathway for a net zero goal in 2040, translated into climate metrics and targets aiming to reduce in an absolute term its CO2 emissions by 90% against 2020 base year, including Scope 1, 2 and 3, describes the overall climate governance in place and the strategic levers identified to align implementation with the overall climate commitments. The scope of the Climate Transition Plan (CTP) is organization wide. The General Supervisory Board oversees EDP’s Climate Strategy implementation through its Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee. The Executive Board of Directors approves the CTP and its successive revisions. The IR&ESG Department defines and proposes revisions is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the CTP at the group level, as well as proposing any revisions. Standards that EDP is committed to respect in the implementation of the CTP include TCFD Guidance on Metrics, Targets and Transition Plans; GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard; SBTi Net-Zero Standard. Progress is also tracked against internationally recognized frameworks and regulations such as CDP, SFDR, GRI Standards, SASB, TCFD and the EDP Green Finance Framework (per ICMA GBP 2021, LMA GLP 2021 rules and EU Taxonomy), beyond the CSRD/ESRS. EDP has in place an internal climate risk management governance model, integrated into the overall risk management process, to annually review and inform EDP’s strategy resilience to climate change. This process is aligned with TCFD recommendations and ensures an adequate assessment of potential risks and opportunities of business evolution within its Platforms. The process is co-led by the Risk and Sustainability corporate units, with the collaboration of the Energy Planning corporate unit, and supported by a team of specialised interlocutors of the different Platforms (risk- officers, sustainability officers and energy planning areas). It is divided into three phases: 1) validation of EDP’s climate taxonomy; 2) alignment with climate scenarios; 3) quantification by BU and calculation of an aggregate Climate Value@Risk. Risk Management Policy This policy establishes the risk management principles, structure, governance and responsibilities in the EDP Group. Corporate Risk Management, which includes a set of practices for the identification, measurement, processing and reporting of key risks, is an integral part of the management style required by the group for its employees, in line with good international risk governance practices, in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements and meeting the expectations and demands of the group's internal and external stakeholders. The deployment of an effective risk management policy seeks: • to contribute to the constant creation of value for the company, by meeting the expectations of internal and external stakeholders • to adopt a position of leadership in this area in line with the vision, values and commitments expressed by the EDP Group • to ensure that internal and external requirements are met in the area of corporate governance, control and reporting. To this end, the EDP Group seeks to maintain a risk management culture in all decision making and at all functional and management levels. The implementation of Corporate Risk Management is supported by a set of principles, structure and processes that enable: • the identification, analysis and evaluation of risks and their processing, which may lead to the adoption of one or more of the following options: accepting the risk, increasing exposure in order to take advantage of an opportunity, avoiding the risk, reducing its probability or impact and/or sharing the risk (using hedging operations or through insurance, for example) • reporting, reviewing and continuous improvement in risk management • including risk management responsibilities in overall management. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 187| | | | | | | | | | EDP Group risk management policy principles: • Risk management is an integral part of standard business practice and is the responsibility of everyone, from the Executive Board to the individual employee. Everybody is responsible for understanding the risks in their area of operation and for managing them as an integral part of their delegated duties, skills and responsibilities. • EDP manages its significant risks as a portfolio, through optimization of the risk/return ratio cutting across all business areas, in light of the value creation and distinction of the group in its markets of operation. • EDP seeks to ensure that risk management constantly improves in order to reflect EDP's changing needs over time and to remain compliant with best international risk management practices. • EDP promotes timely and systematic risk management that is fully integrated in its most important business and decision-making processes, particularly as an element of strategic development, investment decisions, the business plan and operations management, in order to ensure stability of results and the development of optimized response capabilities and changes in context and opportunity. Assessment of risks and the adoption of measures for their management and control are based on the availability of better information on the date of the decision-making process. • EDP's risk management is transparent and involves all internal and external stakeholders, to ensure input into decisions taken from all levels of responsibility in the organisation, ensuring compliance and building a climate of trust. • Local and/or functional risk management policies and procedures will be consistent with this corporate policy. Furthermore, all local and/or functional policies and procedures shall facilitate the aggregation, consolidation and revision at corporate level of all significant risks. • The executive management bodies of the EDP Group companies are responsible for establishing the risk tolerance applicable to their scale, business and functions, always in line with the risk profile defined for the group by the Executive Board at strategic level, which expresses the appetite for risk, and at tactical level, by setting overall aggregate risk tolerance levels.

Circular Economy Strategy EDP’s Circular Economy Strategy aims to: • identify opportunities: more efficiency, new ways of managing resources, new products, new services • manage emerging regulatory risk • communicate good practices aligning them with the growing expectations of society. Circular Economy approach is extended beyond EDP's activities throughout its value chain, promoting efficiency, reducing resource consumption, and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. EDP’s Circular Economy Strategy aims to build a global vision that can guide circularity practices across all Platforms with an organization wide scope. EDP’s Circular Economy Strategy integrates 6 Guiding Principles; 1 Vision; 7 Axes of Action and each BU develops their operational Action Plan. Guiding principles: i. adopt a systemic approach: from a perspective where the entire value chain is involved and has a role in managing the externalities arising from their activity ii. build alliances: build structural alliances with different stakeholders, seeking to promote the transition to more circular models through collaboration iii. optimise resource utilisation: promote the extension of the lifespan of resources so that they remain in the production cycle for as long as possible iv. promote innovation: promote the creation of innovative solutions in new business models that promote circularity in products and services, as well as in production processes and materials used v. promote efficiency in the value chain: encourage the efficient use of resources, seeking solutions to reduce their consumption, and working with the value chain to build new solutions | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 189| | | | | | | | | | vi. ensure transparent communication: commit to communicating the circularity of products and services provided in a transparent manner to stakeholders, also promoting awareness in the value chain. EDP’ Axes of action • Efficiency in the use of resources and materials - Promote the reduction of inputs of resources and materials and reduction of waste outputs. • Product Longevity - Promote solutions that extend the product lifecycle, including modular design solutions, which allow the product to be easily disassembled and their components replaced, remanufactured, repaired, updated. • Digitalisation - Integrate digital solutions that through technology and data allow dematerializing processes and reducing the consumption of materials and resources, but also supporting the construction of new business models (product as a service). • Resource valorisation - Promote the valorisation of waste materials at the end of life, focusing on their "second life" after the original purpose, namely through the creation of symbiosis with other sectors of activity, recycling, energy recovery, etc. • New business models - Promote the construction of new business models that allow the introduction of different circularity levels in the products and services provided to the customer, such as the life cycle extension, models as a service, efficiency, sharing, etc. • Circular Supplies - Promote circularity practices, such as: replacing materials and products with longer-lasting, recycled, reused ones; labelling of products identifying their circularity; but also the inclusion of criteria in purchases. • Influence and awareness - Ensure the company's responsibility for the products, materials and assets it produces and manages/uses. Responsibility to influence the value chain to leverage the circularity in its products, services and choices. With the aim of implementing the Circular Economy Strategy throughout the group, EDP has created a cross-cutting program for circularity - Close the Loop | promote Circular Economy for a regenerative business - which establishes a roadmap until 2025. The Close the Loop program aims to promote the implementation of a Circular Economy, optimizing the consumption and use of resources, equipment, products, and services, while minimizing the loss of materials and energy. This program is structured into 4 work streams, for which working groups, composed of different Business Units, have been formed. i. Monitoring - Enable BU’s to measure circularity of its projects, activities, products and services, identify gaps and establish measures to improve circularity ii. Suppliers - Establish a set of Circularity improvement recommendations for suppliers and specific criteria to integrate in EDP purchases (includes EPD, LCA, etc.) iii. Training - Design and implement a training program for EDP specific functions iv. Wind and Solar –Establish Circular Economy guidelines to implement in all life-cycle stages of EDP renewable energy projects (from project design to dismantlement). The General Supervisory Board (GBS) monitors and appreciate issues related to sustainability and respective compliance. The Executive Board of Directors approves the Circular Economy Strategy and its subsequent revisions. The IR&ESG Department defines and proposes revisions is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the strategy at the group level, as well as proposing any revisions.

E1.MDR-T_01-13 - Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets EDP has set measurable time-bound, relative and absolute climate targets approved by the Science Based Target initiative under the Net-Zero standard with a Climate Transition Plan setting the effectiveness of actions towards meeting the overall Net Zero by 2040 target: • Near-Term Targets (2030) - from a 2020 base year: i. reduce scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 95% per MWh generated electricity by 2030 (relative) ii. reduce scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity 80% per MWh by 2030 (relative) iii. reduce absolute scope 3 emissions from use of sold products 45% by 2030 (absolute) iv. reduce all other absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 45% by 2030 (absolute). • Long-Term Targets (2040) - from a 2020 base year: i. reduce scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 96% per MWh generated electricity by 2040 (relative) ii. reduce scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity 95% per MWh by 2040 (relative) iii. reduce absolute scope 3 emissions from use of sold products 90% by 2040 (absolute) iv. reduce all other absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2040 (absolute). These targets were developed by the IR&ESG team, being approved by the EBD before submission to SBTi. They followed a verification process with an internal technical SBTi team to guarantee that the submitted targets were in compliance with the requirements of the Corporate Net Zero Standard. These targets cover all of EDP's activities and business units operations in all geographies, as developed in BP-1_03, with no exclusions. By having targets set on all scopes, EDP's guarantees that both the upstream and downstream value chain activities are also covered. EDP tracks and reports its GHG emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. EDP reports on the trajectory of the 3 scopes of emissions and performance against the climate targets under E1-4_02 to E1-4_17. E1-4_01 - Disclosure of whether and how GHG emissions reduction targets and (or) any other targets have been set to manage material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities To manage the material climate change impacts, risks and opportunities EDP has set targets focusing primarily on decarbonization, with the support of a strategy to increase renewable generation, contributing for climate change mitigation. For this, EDP has set emissions reduction targets both for near-term (2030) and long-term (2040), as well as a Net Zero target by 2040, that have been approved by the SBTi. By having set the targets following the Corporate Net Zero Standard and the Power Sector guidance from the SBTi, EDP guarantees the alignment with the 1.5ºC trajectory, i.e., limiting of global warming to 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement. These targets cover all scopes of emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3) and are the main pillar of EDP's Climate Transition Plan. 1 EDP's GHG emissions inventory used to set targets include the following gases: CO2, CH4, SF6, N2O. For those, the GWP reference used is IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5 - 100 years). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 193| | | | | | | | | | E1-4_02 - Tables: Multiple Dimensions (baseline year and targets; GHG Types, Scope 3 Categories, Decarbonisation levers, entity-specific denominators for intensity value)/ E1-4_03 - Absolute value of total Greenhouse gas emissions reduction/ E1-4_04 - Percentage of total Greenhouse gas emissions reduction (as of emissions of base year)/ E1-4_06 - Absolute value of Scope 1 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction/ E1-4_07 \- Percentage of Scope 1 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction (as of emissions of base year)/ E1-4_08 - Intensity value of Scope 1 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction/ E1-4_09 - Absolute value of location-based Scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction/ E1-4_10 - Percentage of location-based Scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction (as of emissions of base year)/ E1-4_11 - Intensity value of location-based Scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction/ E1-4_15 - Absolute value of Scope 3 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction/ E1-4_16 - Percentage of Scope 3 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction (as of emissions of base year) | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- TARGET 1| TARGET FORMULA | UN | BASE YEAR - 2020 | 2024 | VAR. vs 2020 (%) | VAR. vs 2020 (Abs) | TARGET 2030 | TARGET 2040 S1+S2 | (Scope 1 + Scope 2 emissions)/ Electricity generated | gCO2eq/kWh| 157 | 29 | -81.3| -128 | -95 | -96 Scope1 | | tCO2eq| 9,304,139 | 1,458,323 | -84.3| -7,845,817 | NA | NA Scope2 (location-based) | | tCO2eq| 594,401 | 233,481 | -60.7| -360,919 | NA | NA Electricity generated | | MWh | 63,122,000 | 57,573,025 | NA | NA | NA | NA S3 | | tCO2eq| 9,594,686 | 9,540,559 | -0.6| -54,127 | -45 | -90 S1+S3C3 (All sold electricity) | (Scope1 Stationary Combustion + scope3 Category 3 from electricity that is purchased and sold)/ All sold electricity | gCO2eq/kWh| 126 | 47 | -62.8| -79 | -80 | -95 Scope 1 Stationary Combustion| | tCO2eq| 9,273,373 | 1,433,097 | -84.5| NA | NA | NA Scope 3 Category 3 Electricity that is purchased and sold| | tCO2eq| 2,209,907 | 2,961,966 | 34.0| NA | NA | NA Electricity that is purchased and sold | | MWh | 27,897,187 | 36,026,176 | 29.1| NA | NA | NA All Sold electricity (Electricity generated + Electricity that is purchased and sold) | | MWh | 91,019,187 | 93,599,201 | 2.8| NA | NA | NA S3C11 (Use of sold products) | | tCO2eq| 2,405,104 | 837,487 | -65.2| -1,567,617 | -45 | -90 S1+S2+S3 (Net Zero) | | tCO2eq| 19,493,226 | 11,232,363 | -42.4| -8,260,863 | NA | -90 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 194| | | | | | | | | | E1-4_05 - Intensity value of total Greenhouse gas emissions reduction / E1-4_12 - Absolute value of market-based Scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction / E1-4_13 - Percentage of market-based Scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction (as of emissions of base year) / E1-4_14 - Intensity value of market- based Scope 2 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction / E1-4_17 - Intensity value of Scope 3 Greenhouse gas emissions reduction EDP is not reporting this information because it does not apply to the emission reduction targets set. E1-4_18 - Explanation of how consistency of GHG emission reduction targets with GHG inventory boundaries has been ensured EDP’s GHG emission reduction targets cover Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. All targets are evaluated using the financial control consolidation method, with no exclusions, ensuring consistency with EDP's GHG inventory boundaries. E1-4_19 - Disclosure of past progress made in meeting target before current base year Base year: 2020 Baseline emissions value prior to re-baselining, that was used for target setting purposes: • scope 1: 9,304,139 tCO2e • scope 2 (location based): 594,401 tCO2e • scope 3: 9,594,686 tCO2e • all scopes: 19,493,266 tCO2e. Baseline emissions value after re-baselining (not yet reflected in decarbonisation targets): • scope 1: 5,576,472 tCO2e • scope 2 (location based): 594,401 tCO2e • scope 3: 10,913,308 tCO2e • all scopes: 17,084,181 tCO2e. E1-4_20 - Description of how it has been ensured that baseline value is representative in terms of activities covered and influences from external factors The 2020 baseline provides an accurate representation of EDP's current strategy, allowing for more precise tracking of emissions reduction and progress towards the targets. It is aligned with the most recent and accurate data, reflecting the company's current emissions profile and the latest scientific understanding of climate change, and it accounts for recent changes in EDP's operations, including the expansion of renewable energy capacity and other sustainability initiatives, providing a more relevant starting point for measuring future reductions. The 2020 baseline value was used for target definition under SBTi's Net Zero Standard and it was subjected to SBTi's validation process. E1-4_21 - Description of how new baseline value affects new target, its achievement and presentation of progress over time Due to the divestment from coal, the new baseline emissions are lower than the ones used to set the decarbonisation targets. As such, this change will have impacts on the emissions reduction trajectory and on the decarbonisation path towards Net-Zero. According to SBTi’s guidelines, the baseline recalculation that took place in 2024 will require that the near- and long-term targets be revisited. This process is yet to be started with SBTi, given that the new baseline is only now being reported. Until the target revision process is started and then concluded, the current emissions reduction targets remain applicable. E1-4_22 - GHG emission reduction target is science based and compatible with limiting global warming to one and half degrees Celsius EDP has set both for near-term (2030) and long-term (2040), as well as a Net Zero target by 2040. Our targets have been approved by the Science Based Target initiative under the Net-Zero standard, thus being aligned with the 1.5ºC trajectory, i.e., limiting of global warming to 1.5 °C in line with the Paris Agreement. The targets were set the Power Sector guidance from the SBTi and cover all scopes of emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 195| | | | | | | | | | E1-4_23 - Description of expected decarbonisation levers and their overall quantitative contributions to achieve GHG emission reduction target EDP identified the main levers allowing to accomplish the transition plan and meet the targets: | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|--- MITIGATION LEVER | IMPACTED SCOPES| SCOPE OF ACTION| ACHIEVED EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS VS 2020 [TCO2E]| ACHIEVED EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS VS 2020 [%]| EXPECTED EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS BY 2030 [%]| EXPECTED EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS BY 2040 [%] 0% thermal generation | Scope 1 | Own operations| 7,840,276 | -85 | -100 | -100 Increase renewable generation| Not applicable | Own operations| Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable Distribution power losses | Scope 2 | Own operations| 363,661 | -64 | Approx.

Before approval, the sustainability strategy is prepared by the Investor Relations & ESG (IR&ESG) Global Unit, supported by the Risk and Energy Planning Departments. In addition, with the involvement of the main Business Units, the Sustainability Committee discusses the proposed sustainability strategy before it is approved. The decarbonisation levers identified by EDP are connected to its activities with relevant impact in terms of emissions as disclosed in E1-3_01. These decarbonisation levers will be applied to reach the near- and long-term decarbonisation targets, submitted and approved under the SBTi Net Zero Standard and the Power Sector guidance. As so, the climate scenario considered was aligned with the 1.5ºC trajectory, i.e., limiting of global warming to 1.5 °C in line with the Paris Agreement. 1 A part of the total energy consumption, specifically, the electricity consumptions of 49 EDPR parks for which EDP did not have the real consumptions. To estimate, EDP considered a factor of MWh consumed per MWh generated, per technology, based on all other parks for which it had information. This factor was then applied to the electricity generation from those 49 parks. 2 The calculation of energy consumption from nuclear sources considers the electricity mix of each geography and the % of nuclear energy in that mix. For Portugal, Spain, and Brazil the consumption is supplied by EDP Group companies that do not have nuclear-origin electricity in their mix. 3 EDP conservatively opted to report this value as zero, as there were no sufficient nor clear information on how much of the electricity consumption was covered by contracts with green certificates (RECs or Guarantees of Origin). 4 To report on this indicator, EDP is considering its renewable generation mix for consumptions that are supplied by EDP Group companies. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 196| | | | | | | | | | E1-5_01 \- Total energy consumption related to own operations / E1-5_02 - Total energy consumption from fossil sources / E1-5_03 - Total energy consumption from nuclear sources / E1-5_05- Total energy consumption from renewable sources / E1-5_06 - Fuel consumption from renewable sources / E1-5_07- Consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, and cooling from renewable sources / E1-5_08 - Consumption of self-generated non-fuel renewable energy / E1-5_10 - Fuel consumption from coal and coal products / E1-5_11 - Fuel consumption from crude oil and petroleum products / E1-5_12 - Fuel consumption from natural gas / E1-5_13 - Fuel consumption from other fossil sources / E1-5_14 - Consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, or cooling from fossil sources | | ---|---|--- ENERGY CONSUMPTION 1| UN | 2024 Total Energy consumption | MWh | 9,375,061 From fossil sources | MWh | 7,193,275 Fuel consumption from coal and coal products | MWh | 1,040,209 Fuel consumption from crude oil and petroleum products | MWh | 57,909 Fuel consumption from natural gas | MWh | 5,376,488 Fuel consumption from other fossil sources | MWh | 0 Consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, or cooling from fossil sources| MWh | 718,669 From nuclear sources 2| MWh | 9,924 From renewable sources | MWh | 2,171,862 Fuel consumption from renewable sources | MWh | 1,869 Consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, and cooling from renewable sources 3| MWh | 0 Consumption of self-generated non-fuel renewable energy 4| MWh | 2,169,993 E1-5_04 - Percentage of energy consumption from nuclear sources in total energy consumption / E1-5_09 - Percentage of renewable sources in total energy consumption / E1-5_15 - Percentage of fossil sources in total energy consumption | | ---|---|--- ENERGY CONSUMPTION | UN | 2024 Fossil sources in total energy consumption | % | 76.73 Energy consumption from nuclear sources | % | 0.11 Renewable sources in total energy consumption | % | 23.17 E1-5_16- Non-renewable energy production / E1-5_17 - Renewable energy production | | ---|---|--- ENERGY PRODUCTION | UN | 2024 Non-renewable | MWh | 2,861,564 Renewable | MWh | 54,617,797 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 197| | | | | | | | | | E1-5_18 \- Energy intensity from activities in high climate impact sectors (total energy consumption per net revenue) / E1-5_19 - Total energy consumption from activities in high climate impact sectors / E1-5_22 - Net revenue from activities in high climate impact sectors | | ---|---|--- ENERGY INTENSITY BASED NET REVENUE | UN | 2024 Total energy consumption from activities in high climate impact sectors | MWh | 9,375,061 Net revenue from activities in high climate impact sectors | €m | 14,966 Total energy consumption from activities in high climate impact sectors per net revenue from activities in high climate impact sectors| MWh/€m | 626 E1-5_20 \- High climate impact sectors used to determine energy intensity All of EDP’s activity falls under the Energy sector, which is classified as a high climate impact sector.

E1-6_15 - Disclosure of methodologies, significant assumptions and emissions factors used to calculate or measure GHG emissions All scope and emissions categorization comply with the requirements of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, according to the financial control criteria. Scope 1: Activity data sources: EDP; EU-ETS emissions third party verified. Emission factors sources: GHG Protocol Transport Tool; Emission factors from national energy agencies. GWP source: IPCC 5th Assessment Report (2014). Stationary combustion emissions are monitored according to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2122 of 17 October 2023 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 as regards updating the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. Fugitive emissions, namely SF6 emissions, are assessed through the refilling of electrical equipment and use the GWP as of the 5th IPCC Assessment Report (23,500). Own fleet emissions consider the activity data (gasoline, diesel, ethanol or natural gas) and the emission factors provided by the environmental regulators or default values form the GHG protocol mobile tool. Scope 2: Activity data sources: EDP. Emission factors sources: Emission factors from national energy agencies. Scope 2 emission results only differ slightly for location-based and market-based methods because almost all electricity consumed by EDP and included in this scope (electricity consumption in office buildings, renewable power stations self-consumption and electricity losses in distribution networks) was generated and supplied by the EDP Group and therefore emissions are accounted for under scope 1. Exceptions are markets where EDP distributes more electricity than it generates (Portugal and Brazil) and markets where EDP does not have supply activities and, therefore, consumes electricity supplied by third parties (North America, South America (except Brazil), APAC and European countries other than Portugal and Spain). Scope 3 category 1: Purchased goods and services: EDP uses a hybrid approach: spend-based method and average data method based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). For some acquisitions, EDP use direct data from the suppliers. Activity data sources: EDP and service providers. Emission factors source: calculated from published data (national energy authorities, LCA studies, EPA). GWP source: IPCC 5th Assessment Report (2014). Scope 3 category 2: Capital goods: EDP uses a hybrid approach: spend-based method and average data method based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). For some acquisitions, EDP uses direct data from the suppliers. Activity data sources: EDP and service providers. Emission factors source: calculated from published data (national energy authorities, LCA studies, EPA). GWP source: IPCC 5th Assessment Report (2014). Scope 3 category 3: Fuel-and-energy-related activities (not included in Scope 1 or 2): EDP uses a hybrid approach: average data method based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and supplier specific data. For some operations (fuel transport), we use direct data from the suppliers. For the remaining operations, we use activity data and emission factors from LCA based on industry averages. Activity data sources: EDP. Emission factors source: calculated from published data (national energy authorities, LCA studies and DEFRA UK). GWP source: IPCC 5th Assessment Report (2014). Scope 3 category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution: EDP uses a mixed approach: activity data, both internal and provided by suppliers, and average emission factor for means of transportation (DEFRA UK). For a part of the operation, EDP also apply supplier specific data. Activity data sources: EDP (logistics and procurement) and suppliers. Emission factors source: DEFRA UK. GWP source: IPCC 5th Assessment Report (2014). Scope 3 category 5: Waste generated in operations: EDP uses a Waste-type-specific method applied to all waste generated in our operations that is treated by a third party. Activity data sources: EDP.

Additionally, at operational level, Environmental Impact Assessments, like the In-depth Water Risk Analysis (namely water stress asset exposure), help mitigate water risks at local level. EDP uses the WRI Aqueduct and the Water Risk Filter tool to conduct a high-level water stress assessment, by mapping all its thermal and hydro assets against the Baseline Water Stress (BWS; watershed level), applying the threshold BWS 40%. Wind generation and distribution assets are excluded given their low dependency on water availability. A downscaling analysis at local level is then performed for all power plants identified in water-stressed areas, using information from National Governmental Agencies (location specific indicators) and company’s operational teams (asset water dependency, local competitive uses). Water-related risks in new investments are analysed through scenario analysis with water availability and regulation effects in energy prices and volumes, as well as hydro resource evaluation integrating long-term effects of climate change and impact on new hydro capacity. This assessment is updated on a 2-3-year basis or whenever a new project requires it. Ensures the identification and classification of potential water pollutants through its Corporate Environmental Management System, certified by Lloyds according to ISO 14001:2015. This System covers the management of environmental policies, strategic plans, and performance of EDP Group organizations. An internal Environmental Risk Assessment tool, using an impact scale, is used for the identification and classification of environmental risks and opportunities linked to environmental aspects and impacts, including water pollution. Compliance of pollutant emission limits defined in environmental licensing permits, issued by National Environmental Authorities is also part of the company's procedures. Water pollutant monitoring is conducted with different frequencies based on the permits. Hydro power plants do not emit pollutants into the water, but water quality parameters are monitored to address potential pollution issues from upstream sources. Some of the indicators used include thermal pollution, physical-chemical indicators (dissolved oxygen, pH, suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD)) and organic pollutants (detergents, oils, hydrocarbons). Regular monitoring of these indicators is essential for effective water pollution management. The electricity generation activities are identified as potential sources of detrimental impacts on water, while distribution and supply activities are deemed not relevant. E3.IRO-1_02 - Disclosure of how consultations have been conducted (water and marine resources) The EDP Policy for Local Stakeholder Engagement determines that prior to Development and Operation (or decommissioning) there must be an external and independent Due Diligence, assessing specific Human Rights and Impacts on Communities. These are consulted locally, exposed to risks and opportunities of the operation to be established, and an action plan outcomes from those consultations. The Social License to Operate (SLO) is only achieved by trust: a shared value proposition must be clear to all; communication channels must be intuitive and accessible, so that any risk and impact may be taken into account and resolved. ESIAS (Environmental and Social Impact Assessments) are put in place ahead of construction, and those lead to the local communities engagement that all EDP regions take forward in their strategic planning, as defined in BP-1_03.

This assessment is updated on a 2-3-year basis or whenever a new project requires it. All former Environmental Policies in place within the EDP Group (including a Water Management Policy) were aggregated in a single Environmental Policy. This aims to guarantee a better corporate management approach, assuming all key environmental issues will have to follow the same commitments, when applicable. These policies are designed to ensure sustainable resource management and promote circular economy principles across our operations and value chain. Water is a key natural resource for EDP. EDP depends on it to operate its facilities, and it is recognized the adverse environmental impacts resulting from EDP’s activities. Under EDP’s Environmental Policy, it is explicit the commitment to promote the efficient use of natural resources, namely the use and sustainable management of water in all processes, operations and installations, as defined in BP-1_03. EDP recognizes the Environment protection as a strategic management element, aiming to prevent air, water and soil pollution and reduce the impacts and dependencies of its activity on nature. To this end, it assumes a set of commitments that ensure the implementation and maintenance of adequate and effective environmental management systems, with the ultimate purpose of Sustainable Development: • integrate environmental protection and the enhancement of natural capital into decision-making processes, at different stages of the asset life cycle activities, including planning, design, construction, operation, power reinforcement, and decommissioning • identify, assess, and mitigate the environmental risks of its activities, seeking to maximise opportunities and progressively extend this process to the supply chain, promoting the improvement of environmental performance • prevent pollution, particularly in response to emergencies in disaster and/or serious accidents situations, including those involving hazardous substances • promote the continuous improvement of processes, practices, and environmental performance by setting goals and objectives to reduce environmental impacts and by encouraging research, development and innovation • comply with applicable environmental legislation, as well as other voluntarily assumed obligations, anticipating the application of new legislation whenever possible • consult key stakeholders, in particular, affected communities and indigenous people, and consider their relevant expectations in the implementation of this policy and in decision-making processes • communicate performance regularly and transparently, ensuring balance, understanding and accessibility by stakeholders, particularly local and affected communities • provide training to employees on the company's environmental impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities. Empower and raise awareness for the improvement of individual and collective environmental performance, contributing to public clarification • foster the improvement of environmental performance of the customer, through the offer of products and services with a smaller environmental footprint. The water commitment is part of the axis of the circular economy: "promoting the sustainable management of water resources, minimizing its consumption, with special attention to areas of water stress.". To complement the Environmental Policy, EDP has published in its website a clear understanding of what the water means to the company as well as its management approach, supporting company’s performance: Water management approach. Additional information concerning the governance process for the approval and implementation of the Environmental Policy, within the scope of water management, detailed in ESRS 2 MDR-P GOV-1_09 and GOV-1_10.

E3-1_02 - Disclosure of whether and how policy addresses the use and sourcing of water and marine resources in own operations Under EDP’s Environmental Policy, it is explicit the commitment to promote the efficient use of natural resources, namely the use and sustainable management of water in all processes, operations and installations. EDP’s Environmental Policy recognizes environmental protection as a strategic element in its management practices, incorporating specific commitments related to the use and sourcing of water and marine resources. These commitments are integrated into its operational processes and | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 210| | | | | | | | | | decision-making frameworks to ensure sustainable development and responsible resource management. Key aspects of the policy addressing water and marine resources include: • EDP promotes the sustainable use of water resources, with a commitment to minimize consumption, particularly in areas under water stress • a life-cycle analysis perspective is applied to manage water efficiently across all stages of operational activities, including planning, construction, operation, and decommissioning of assets • prevention of water pollution by implementing robust environmental management systems and response mechanisms for emergencies, such as hazardous substance spills • controls are in place to ensure that operations comply with applicable environmental legislation and voluntarily adopted standards, reducing the risk of adverse impacts on water and marine resources • the policy commits to minimizing natural resource use and maximizing the valorization of waste, including promoting circularity in equipment selection and operation • EDP also develops products and services that align with circular economy principles, aiming to reduce dependencies on intensive resource extraction and promote regeneration of nature and its services • EDP actively consults stakeholders, including affected communities, to address their concerns and integrate their expectations into the decision-making processes related to environmental management • performance is communicated regularly and transparently to stakeholders, ensuring accountability in water and marine resource management • employees are trained and empowered to understand EDP’s environmental impacts, dependencies, and risks, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. Note that EDP's activities do not have direct impacts on marine resources; any impacts are indirect. Proper management and mitigation of direct impacts indirectly contribute to reducing impacts on marine resources. For example, effective management of oils and spillages in watercourses or the control of pollutants in effluents help mitigate the effects on marine resources. Within a proper management of water resources, EDP monitors potential shortages, controls water quality and sediments, as well as the impact of the management of this resource on biodiversity, for which it undertakes mitigation activities such as the release of environmental flows, the transfer and transport of fish, and support for scientific research on these topics. Although, and contrary to the other activities of the organization, the use of water in hydroelectric production is not considered consumption, EDP monitors the volume of water managed in these assets, which has reached 169 million cubic meters, +29% compared to 2023, as a result of favourable water conditions in the Iberian Peninsula, leading to increased hydroelectric production and reduced operation of CCGT power plants. This indicator heavily depends on the hydroelectric productivity index in Portugal, in which the water portfolio is more relevant, standing at 1.16 (compared to 0.99 in 2023), 16 p.p. above the average hydrological year. The following table highlights the impact on water consumption and operational dependence on the resource in EDP Group's assets, namely in thermal power plants, hydroelectric plants, solar parks, and wind farms: | | ---|---|--- ASSET TYPE | WATER CONSUMPTION | DEPENDENCE Thermoelectric power plants | High | High Hydroelectric power plants | Low | High Solar farms | Low | Low Wind farms | Low | Low The main use of water in EDP’s supply chain is associated with coal extraction. Given the progressive reduction of coal in the company’s generation portfolio, and the vast range of alternative suppliers in different geographies, of which the majority is located in low water stress areas, water- related supply chain risks are not considered material. E3-1_06 - Disclosure of whether and how policy addresses commitment to reduce material water consumption in areas at water risk To assess exposure to water stress, EDP uses the World Resources Institute's Aqueduct tool to carry out an initial high-level risk assessment, mapping its generation assets against a widely recognized indicator of water availability (Baseline Water Stress). The assessment of exposure to water risk is carried out on a river basin scale, and then a local analysis is conducted taking into account quantitative information from national institutions and the experience of the operational in-house teams. This analysis is carried out for all geographies where EDP has generation activities, as defined in BP-1_03, whose water abstraction sources are located close to the facilities. Wind generation and distribution assets are excluded, given their low dependence on water. After the | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 211| | | | | | | | | | revision of the downscaling analysis and the implementation of an in-depth assessment, the Los Barrios Thermal Power Plant in Spain was identified as a water risk asset. However, EDP has requested the closure of this coal plant and is pending feedback from the regulator, which will likely depend on the availability of back-up energy production sources in the area. Given the identification of the Los Barrios Thermal Power Plant as a water risk asset, its operations are of particular interest within the region's water management discussions. The ‘Mesa de la Sequía’ forum, led by Arcgisa (the public water supply company of the Campo de Gibraltar Municipal Association), is attended by industries, the Port, farmers, the livestock sector, environmental associations and other interested parties. Depending on the water stress situation, measures are taken within the framework of this forum, but to date they have never affected the Los Barrios thermal power station. Nevertheless, the thermal power station has adopted good practices to minimise water consumption. These include the reuse of wastewater from the desulphurisation plant, effectively making it a zero-discharge facility, and the reuse of clean rainwater for the fire suppression system. E3-1_10 - The policy contributes to good ecological and chemical quality of surface water bodies and good chemical quality and quantity of groundwater bodies, in order to protect human health, water supply, natural ecosystems and biodiversity, the good environmental status of marine waters and the protection of the resource base upon which marine related activities depend; EDP's environmental Policy recognizes the Environment protection as a strategic management element, aiming to prevent air, water and soil pollution and reduce the impacts and dependencies of its activity on nature. It assumes a set of commitments that ensure the implementation and maintenance of adequate and effective environmental management systems, highlighting for this purpose: • integrate environmental protection and the enhancement of natural capital into decision-making processes, at different stages of the asset life cycle activities, including planning, design, construction, operation, power reinforcement, and decommissioning • prevent air, water and soil pollution and reduce the impacts and dependencies of its activity on nature • identify, assess, and mitigate the environmental risks of its activities, seeking to maximise opportunities and progressively extend this process to the supply chain, promoting the improvement of environmental performance • prevent pollution, particularly in response to emergencies in disaster and/or serious accidents situations, including those involving hazardous substances • promote the continuous improvement of processes, practices, and environmental performance by setting goals and objectives to reduce environmental impacts and by encouraging research, development and innovation • comply with applicable environmental legislation, as well as other voluntarily assumed obligations, anticipating the application of new legislation whenever possible • consult key stakeholders, in particular, affected communities and indigenous people, and consider their relevant expectations in the implementation of this policy and in decision-making processes • communicate performance regularly and transparently, ensuring balance, understanding and accessibility by stakeholders, particularly local and affected communities • provide training to employees on the company's environmental impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities. Empower and raise awareness for the improvement of individual and collective environmental performance, contributing to public clarification • foster the improvement of environmental performance of the customer, through the offer of products and services with a smaller environmental footprint. EDP integrates the commitments of this Policy into management decision-making and due diligence processes, including those related to mergers and acquisitions. Based on the group's strategic priorities, EDP also assumes a set of specific commitments. EDP ensures the identification and classification of potential water pollutants through its corporate environmental management system (CEMS), certified by Lloyds according to ISO 14001:2015. The CEMS covers the management of environmental policies, strategic plans, and performance of EDP Group organizations. The process for the identification and classification that EDP employs an internal Environmental Risk Assessment Tool that links environmental aspects to impacts and risks, including water pollution, using an impact scale. Compliance of pollutant emission limits defined in environmental licensing permits, issued by National Environmental Authorities is also part of the | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 212| | | | | | | | | | company's procedures. Pollutant monitoring is conducted with different frequencies based on the permits. Hydro power plants do not emit pollutants into the water, but water quality parameters are monitored to address potential pollution issues from upstream sources. Some of the indicators used include thermal pollution, physical-chemical indicators (dissolved oxygen, pH, suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD)) and organic pollutants (detergents, oils, hydrocarbons). Regular monitoring of these indicators is essential for effective pollution management. The electricity generation activities are identified as potential sources of detrimental impacts on water, while distribution and supply activities are deemed not relevant. EDP monitors water discharge quality parameters in our thermal power plants, where such monitoring is either a legal requirement or an environmental management system requirement. Water discharge quality is controlled by the competent environmental authority, under the environmental permits. Wastewater quality discharges from thermal power plants are publicly available on EDP’s website. Within the scope of internal health and safety audits carried out at the facilities where our workers carrying out EDP Group activities are assigned, compliance with the legal requirements applicable to the potable water quality for human consumption is verified at local level, through public information provided by the respective regions/municipalities on their websites. E3-1_12 - The policy avoid impacts on affected communities. EDP's environmental Policy recognizes the Environment protection as a strategic management element, aiming to prevent air, water and soil pollution and reduce the impacts and dependencies of its activity on nature. It assumes a set of commitments that ensure the implementation and maintenance of adequate and effective environmental management systems, including the commitment of Consult key stakeholders, in particular, affected communities and indigenous people, and consider their relevant expectations in the implementation of this policy and in decision- making processes. This Policy works in alignment with EDP's Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy and EDP's Stakeholder Management Methodology Guide. E3.MDR-A_01-12 \- Actions and resources in relation to water and marine resources The actions and resources in relation to water and marine resources are reported in E5.MDR- A_01-12, covering only own operations. These actions have no associated targets or objectives due to their nature and their time horizon is not defined. The monitoring is done annually. E3-2_03 \- Disclosure of actions and resources in relation to areas at water risk EDP has requested the closure of the Los Barrios coal plant and is pending feedback from the regulator, which will likely depend on the availability of back-up energy production sources in the area. Given the identification of the Los Barrios Thermal Power Plant as a water risk asset, its operations are of particular interest within the region's water management discussions. The ‘Mesa de la Sequía’ forum, led by Arcgisa (the public water supply company of the Campo de Gibraltar Municipal Association), is attended by industries, the Port, farmers, the livestock sector, environmental associations and other interested parties.

Nevertheless, the thermal power station has adopted good practices to minimise water consumption. These include the reuse of wastewater from the desulphurisation plant, effectively making it a zero-discharge facility, and the reuse of clean rainwater for the fire suppression system. E3.MDR-T_01-13 - Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets Under EDP’s Environmental Policy, it is explicit the commitment to promote the efficient use of natural resources, namely the use and sustainable management of water in all processes, operations and installations. EDP’s Environmental Policy recognizes environmental protection as a strategic element in its management practices, incorporating specific commitments related to the use and sourcing of water and marine resources. These commitments are integrated into its operational processes and decision-making frameworks to ensure sustainable development and responsible resource management. EDP is committed to setting and tracking specific targets that relate to resource use and circular economy principles. These targets are designed to ensure sustainable resource management. The water consumption reduction target set is based on EDP’s Circular Economy Strategy, which focuses on the efficient use of natural resources from a life-cycle analysis perspective, with three main objectives: • minimizing the use of natural resources | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 213| | | | | | | | | | • optimizing and efficiently manage its assets • promoting the sustainable management of water resources, minimizing its consumption, with special attention to areas of water stress. The water consumption reduction target at EDP is organization-wide, encompassing all direct operations and facilities. This includes all geographic locations where EDP operates, as defined in BP-1_03, without exclusions. The target applies to every part of our business, ensuring a comprehensive approach to reducing freshwater consumption. All operational units are integrated into this effort, guaranteeing that our commitment to reduce water withdrawal for freshwater consumption is consistent and impactful across the entire organization. EDP aims to achieve a 78% reduction in freshwater consumption by 2025, compared to 2015 levels. This target reflects our commitment to minimizing water consumption across the group. EDP has a structured methodology to calculate data related to water, specifically aiming to achieve a 78% reduction in freshwater consumption by 2025, compared to 2015 levels. This approach involves collecting and analysing water consumption data from the past four years for thermal and renewable generation assets, applying specific factors to estimate future consumption, while for networks and other operations, the average consumption over the same period is used for projections. Additionally, estimates are based on net production projections from the Business Plan, which are validated and adjusted as needed to ensure accuracy and strategic alignment. EDP reports on the progress of these targets through its Integrated Annual Report and quarterly ESG reports, providing a comprehensive overview of the achievements and challenges faced in meeting the targets. Progress is assessed against the baseline year, and any deviations are analysed to identify areas for improvement. The targets are aligned with EDP's broader sustainability strategy and national and international policies, such as the European Green Deal and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This alignment ensures that EDP's efforts contribute to global sustainability objectives. The target for reducing freshwater consumption was achieved due to EDP's Business Plan 2024-2026, which emphasizes sustainability commitments: it is planned to reach 23 GW (by 2026) of renewable generation capacity, predominantly based on wind and solar. EDP is committed to becoming coal free by 2025, all green by 2030 and net-zero by 2040. This strategy focuses on transforming EDP's generation portfolio by significantly increasing wind and solar capacity, which are technologies with very low water intensity compared to traditional thermal power generation. Dependence on water use in the future is expected to decrease with the growth of wind and solar energy, enabling EDP to further reduce its dependence on freshwater consumption and water withdrawals. Furthermore, the organization-wide goal of no environmental accidents or penalties impacting water applies to all facilities and operational activities in all regions. All our organization's activities are committed to maintaining the highest standards of water security and compliance to prevent any water-related environmental incidents. There are no exclusions in the coverage of this objective, including all business units and operational areas. To prepare for emergencies, EDP has internal and, where applicable, external emergency plans with scenarios for potential emergencies or serious accidents involving hazardous substances. This response capability is trained through simulation exercises, and lessons learnt are incorporated to improve response capacity. In 2024, we carried out 72 environmental simulation exercises, and there were no environmental accidents with impacts on water, although there were 170 small oil spills, totalling 603 m3 of oil spilled. E3-3_01 - Disclosure of whether and how target relates to management of material impacts, risks and opportunities related to areas at water risk The water consumption reduction target at EDP is organization-wide, encompassing all direct operations and facilities. This includes all geographic locations where EDP operates, as defined in BP-1_03, without exclusions. The target applies to every part of our business, ensuring a comprehensive approach to reducing freshwater consumption. All operational units are integrated into this effort, guaranteeing that our commitment to reduce water withdrawal for freshwater consumption is consistent and impactful across the entire organization, with a special focus on areas with a high water stress level. Although the Los Barrios thermal power plant in Spain is located in an area with high water stress, this plant has been adopting good practices to minimize water consumption, namely the reuse of wastewater from the desulphurisation plant, effectively making it a zero-discharge facility, and the reuse of clean rainwater for the fire suppression system. In addition to risk mitigation, this target was also defined to reduce costs and EDP’s environmental impacts.

Dependence on water use in the future is expected to decrease with the growth of wind and solar energy, enabling EDP to further reduce its reliance on freshwater consumption and water withdrawals. EDP Group’s total freshwater consumption has decreased 95% between 2015 and 2024, in line with the planned progress. In the last 4 years, freshwater consumption has been decreasing due to the following facts: • 2021: the specific consumption of freshwater changed in 2021 (35% compared to 2020), which is justified by the increase in coal-fired electricity generation in EDP Group (30% more than 2020) • 2022: the specific consumption of freshwater decreased 25% compared to 2022, due to the reduction in the EDP Group's coal-fired electricity production (-10% vs. 2021) and to the inversion in order of merit from coal to gas. There was special impact on the decrease in freshwater consumption in water stress area - Pecém, in Brazil (from 56% to 1%, vs. 2021), due to the fact that this power plant was not dispatched due to the improved hydrological scenario (despite not being dispatched, Pecém’s availability stayed at 97.5%) • 2023: there was a decrease of freshwater consumption mainly due to the reduction in the EDP Group's coal-fired electricity production (-52% vs. 2022), namely in Spain • 2024: there was a significant reduction in fresh water consumption, mainly due to the reduction in the EDP Group's coal-fired electricity generation (-92% vs. 2023), namely in Spain and Brazil. In addition to risk mitigation, this target was also set to reduce EDP's environmental costs and impacts.

The number of facilities exposed to water risks remained the same when compared to 2023. EDP uses the WRI Aqueduct to conduct a high-level water stress assessment, by mapping all its thermal and hydro assets against the Baseline Water Stress (BWS; watershed level), applying the threshold BWS 40%. A downscaling analysis at local level is then performed for all power plants identified in water-stressed areas, using information from National Governmental Agencies (location specific indicators) and company’s operational teams (asset water dependency, local competitive uses). Los Barrios coal-fired plant has been identified as a generation asset at risk from water stress location in EDP’s Water Stress Exposure Assessment. A high-level assessment revealed a Baseline Water Stress indicator over 40%, according to the WRI Aqueduct. Also, water stress situation was confirmed by information from National Information Systems on Water Resources. Nevertheless, EDP has requested the closure of the Los Barrios coal plant and is pending feedback from the regulator, which will likely depend on the availability of back-up energy production sources in the area. In addition, this thermal power plant has adopted good practices to minimise water consumption. These include the reuse of wastewater from the desulphurisation plant, effectively making it a zero-discharge facility, and the reuse of clean rainwater for the fire suppression system. The hydropower plants located in the basins of the Lima, Cávado, Mondego, Tejo, and Guadiana rivers are identified in EDP Water Risk Map as being exposed to risks of climate change-induced structural decrease in precipitation. Eight facilities located in Douro River Basin have induced a structural decrease in precipitation and an increase in competitive uses, so it is also identified in EDP Water Risk Map as being exposed to risks of climate change. Withdrawal and discharge volumes (from and to fresh surface water - River) were obtained by direct measurements (meter readings) or by calculations, using e.g. the installed capacity and the difference between downstream and upstream water levels. Withdrawal and discharge will tend to decrease or increase depending on if it is a dry or wet year, respectively. Water use in hydro power plants is considered a non-consumptive use (withdrawal discharge).

This risk “Changing precipitation patterns” was evaluated considering the RCP scenarios (2.6, 4.5 and 8.5) and their respective variations regarding precipitation for 2025, 2030 and 2050, which were provided by Copernicus data source. It is expected a structural reduction on average precipitation of 5% to 10% in Portugal and on worst case scenario (P95%) of 20% to 40% (depending on the RCP scenario). This impact is evaluated assuming (1) EDP’s defined strategy for the different time horizons (closure of thermal power plants, investment in renewables and the end of some hydro concessions); and (2) incremental variation compared to today; and is the accumulative maximum loss at P95% from 2030 to 2050 (impact of changes in physical variables, namely structural reduction of water availability, are more relevant for the mid and long-term), for each year and scenario. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 216| | | | | | | | | | E3-5_03 \- Description of effects considered and related impacts (water and marine resources) The EDP Group has a material degree of exposure to variations in renewable energy generation volumes, particularly regarding hydro volume. A dry year (years with HPI – hydroelectric precipitation index – lower than 1) can have a negative impact on the company's results. For example, assuming a price of 80/MWh, a 20% reduction in the expected volume impacts EDP's EBITDA by 100M-140M. For example, in the winter of 2021/2022, the extreme drought in Portugal resulted in a record shortfall of EDP's hydro production in the Iberian market of 2.6TWh compared to the historical average. This hydro shortfall resulted in the need to purchase electricity in the Iberian wholesale market, in order to satisfy the consumption of the customer portfolio, in a quarter of historical maximum prices (average electricity price 229/MWh in the 1Q22, a rise of 407% year-on- year). The strong increase in the cost of electricity sold, which did not impact EDP clients, implied a 0.4bn loss in 1Q22 in terms of EBITDA, which led to a negative net result of -76m recorded by EDP in the 1Q22 (a decrease of 256m year-on-year).The company’s exposure to this risk was reduced in Portugal with the sale of the hydro assets in 2020, and EDP manages this risk through a diversified generation portfolio in terms of technologies (with focus on solar and wind) and geographies (e.g., EDP has recently began generation in APAC). E3-5_04 - Disclosure of critical assumptions used in estimates of financial effects of material risks and opportunities arising from water and marine resources-related impacts This risk was evaluated considering the RCP scenarios (2.6, 4.5 and 8.5) and their respective variations regarding precipitation for 2025, 2030 and 2050, which were provided by Copernicus data source. It is expected a structural reduction on average precipitation of 5% to 10% in Portugal and on worst case scenario (P95%) of 20% to 40% (depending on the RCP scenario).

During the development and construction phase, assets follow a biodiversity screening process by applying the mitigation hierarchy: i) avoiding highly sensitive areas, ii) conducting an environmental impact assessment, iii) mitigating identified impacts, iv) restoring temporarily used areas, and, if necessary, v) compensating for significant impacts. This process depends on the technology, size, and location of each asset. Once in operation, certified environmental management systems are in place to oversee the ongoing management of assets, regulatory compliance, and monitoring of current environmental licenses. The ongoing biodiversity risk assessment process aims to systematize and enhance the group's knowledge in this area. The list in the table below is the result of applying the following evaluation criteria: • assets with environmental management systems assessing potential risk to biodiversity • location of assets within or in the vicinity of areas of high biodiversity sensitivity, using the IBAT database, with data from WDPA (World Database on Protected Areas) and KBA (Key Biodiversity Areas) • among these, assets with regulatory requirements for: i) monitoring ecological flows at hydroelectric plants, and ii) with bird impact mitigation devices at wind power plants. This list will change in the coming years as the risk screening process becomes more robust. | | | ---|---|---|--- COUNTRY | ASSET | TECHNOLOGY | WDPA/KBA Brazil | Peixe Angical | Hydro | KBA France | Les 7 Domaines | Wind | KBA France | Oigny | Wind | Both Italy | Monte Mattina | Wind | WDPA Poland | Tomaszow | Wind | KBA Portugal | Aguieira | Hydro | WDPA Portugal | Alto Lindoso | Hydro | Both Portugal | Caldeirão | Hydro | Both Portugal | Caniçada | Hydro | WDPA Portugal | Vila Nova - Paradela | Hydro | WDPA Portugal | Salamonde I | Hydro | WDPA Portugal | Touvedo | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Portugal | Vilarinho das Furnas | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Portugal | Pracana | Hydro | KBA Portugal | Corte dos Álamos | Wind | KBA Portugal | Guerreiros | Wind | KBA Spain | Acampo Sancho | Wind | KBA Spain | Cabrerizas | Wind | KBA Spain | La Peña | Wind | KBA Spain | Las Herrerías | Wind | KBA Spain | Las Lomillas | Wind+Solar | KBA Spain | Loma de los Aviadores | Wind | KBA Spain | Sierra de la Venta | Wind | KBA Spain | Tahivilla | Wind | KBA Spain | Barca | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Florida | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Miranda | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Malva | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Proaza | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Priañes | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Tanes | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Laviana | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | San Isidro | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Caño | Hydro | KBA+WDPA Spain | Giribaile | Hydro | KBA+WDPA | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 218| | | | | | | | | | E4.SBM-3_02 \- Disclosure of activities negatively affecting biodiversity sensitive areas The main activities with potential to negatively affect biodiversity sensitive areas are: • solar farms: Construction activities; Presence of the facility (fence) • wind farms: Construction activities; Turbines' operation • hydropower: Presence of dam/weir; Drained reservoir; Handling dangerous products; Dam rupture • thermal power plants: Combustion; Transportation of raw materials (value chain); Extraction of raw materials (value chain) • networks: Construction activities; Presence of aerial networks. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 219| | | | | | | | | | E4.SBM-3_03 \- Disclosure of list of material sites in own operations based on results of identification and assessment of actual and potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems EDP has made a first exercise following the LEAP approach (TNFD) for the identification and assessment of the nature-related impacts and dependencies in its direct operations.

E4.SBM-3_05 \- Material negative impacts with regards to land degradation, desertification or soil sealing have been identified Infrastructure development involves land transformation and potential degradation. Vegetation clearance, soil compaction and soil sealing are the main activities that can result in negative impacts on the soil. Disposal of by-products and waste materials from energy production processes can also contaminate the soil, if not managed adequately. The development of energy assets is managed balancing the development of energy facilities with the preservation of natural habitats and soil quality. By adopting best practices as selecting a proper location of assets, land use and habitat disruption can be avoided or minimized, being compatible with traditional uses and ensuring soil integrity. No material negative impacts are identified with regards to desertification. Water usage and vegetation clearance are necessary for energy generation, but proactively addressing these aspects they do not constitute a material impact on desertification. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 222| | | | | | | | | | E4.SBM-3_06 - Own operations affect threatened species • Networks: main potential impacts are to birdlife that may collide with aerial lines or be electrocuted. In some regions these may be extended to small mammals climbing the poles or getting into the substations. • Solar farms: main potential negative impacts are to mammals due to habitat alteration. Potential positive impacts may occur linked to restoration and soil protection under and around the solar panels. • Wind farms: main potential negative impacts are to birdlife and chiropters that may collide with turbines blades and/or towers. Other potential negative impact may be the fragmentation of habitats as the development and construction of wind farms can lead to changes in the landscape and disturbance of local habitats. Potential positive impacts may occur linked to restoration. • Hydropower: potential negative impacts occur during flooding with the reduction of land use for biodiversity (fauna and flora) and in freshwater species due to habitat alterations that may occur due to changes in water courses characteristics and barriers that can limit migrant species. • Thermal power plants: main potential negative impacts on species are a consequence of the impacts caused by the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere (acid rain and climate change). Water use for cooling may lead to thermal pollution, affecting freshwater or salted water species, if not managed adequately. E4.IRO-1_01 - Disclosure of whether and how actual and potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems at own site locations and in value chain have been identified and assessed EDP is aligning its processes with TNFD guidance and has used the LEAP approach to identify nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities (physical and transition) at the technology level, considering its own operations. This supports the double materiality process, with a deeper analysis planned for 2025 to better integrate operations specificities and include the supply chain. Meanwhile, EDP maintains a risk management process to support its corporate environmental management system. Complementarily, at asset level, the systematic implementation of the EIA process enables the specific identification of actual and future impacts project by project, as well as the definition of the mitigation measures required for each case, ensuring that its projects are developed in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. A similar exercise is planned to be developed during 2025 including the value chain in the scope. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 223| | | | | | | | | | E4.IRO-1_02 \- Disclosure of whether and how dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems and their services have been identified and assessed at own site locations and in value chain EDP has made a first exercise following the LEAP approach (TNFD) for the identification and assessment of the nature-related impacts and dependencies in its direct operations.

For each EDP activity and each dependency category, it has been analysed whether the dependency was applicable. If applicable, the dependency's risk for EDP was evaluated based on its probability and magnitude. The evaluation applies a semi-quantitative scale from 1 to 5, where 1 represents very low dependency and 5 represents very high dependency. E4.IRO-1_03 \- Disclosure of whether and how transition and physical risks and opportunities related to biodiversity and ecosystems have been identified and assessed EDP is aligning its processes with TNFD guidance and has used the LEAP approach to identify nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities (physical and transition) at the technology level, considering its own operations. This supports the double materiality process, with a deeper analysis planned for 2025 to better integrate operations specificities and include the supply chain. Meanwhile, EDP maintains an environmental risk management process to support its corporate environmental management system. It has its foundations on the internal and external context of the group. Based on in-depth knowledge of the organisation and the context in which it operates, it is possible to determine the most relevant aspects, namely those that may impact or be impacted by EDP's business. Risk and opportunities identification takes a multidisciplinary approach, involving the active participation of operational units. This ensures a more complete analysis and coverage of the risks of the different activities. Risks are classified according to events categories and cover both physical and transition risks. Some examples (non exhaustive): | ---|--- PHYSICAL RISKS: | Climate ChangeEvents of internal origin associated with the company's activities that aggravate or reduce the group's GHG emissions.| Risk: Climate Change is known as one of the main drivers of biodiversity lossOpportunity: The acceleration of the renewable generation and electrification of the economy as a paramount way to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 for the power sector BiodiversityEvents related to natural habitats and the various services and functions that ecosystems provide (e.g. food and water, thermal regulation, soil formation and recreational opportunities)| Risk: The use of land to accelerate renewable energy competes with other land uses reducing the overall land for biodiversity to thrive. Direct land use has a potential loss of local biodiversity and ecosystem servicesOpportunity: The application of the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy has the potential of a biodiversity net gain outcome, through conservation and restoration initiatives Use of natural resourcesIt includes the use or consumption of natural resources - water, materials, with consequences on the quantity and/or quality of available resources.| Risk: The use of natural resources can lead to habitat loss, species affection and ecosystem degradation. Together, these factors contribute to the decline of biodiversity and endanger the health and balance of natural ecosystems.Opportunity: The sustainable use of natural resources can offer opportunities for the company incentivizing efficiency and reducing costs or promoting innovative solutions of waste recovery with potential increase in revenues or reinforcing partnerships PollutionEvents associated with the outputs of resource use atmospheric emissions, noise, electromagnetic fields and landscape.| Risks: Emissions of pollutants like NOx, SOx, chemicals, oils, and waste can damage habitats. To Water pollution may kill aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems.To Air pollution can cause acid rain, harming plants and animals, and impair growth and reproduction. To Soil pollution affects vegetation health and dependent organisms. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 225| | | | | | | | | | | ---|--- TRANSITIONAL RISKS: | Technologies and systemsAssesses how the company can benefit from technology to improve efficiency and risk mitigation| Risks: The rapid advancement of technology and industrial development may lead to: i) habitat degradation and displacement of wildlife and to ii) the overexploitation of natural resources with the disrupting delicate ecosystems; iii) inadequate waste management and contamination of ecosystems. Opportunities: Spatial information and AI computer processing can accelerate global knowledge on specific biodiversity impacts to improve decision-making process; technology can offer innovative solutions to mitigate biodiversity risks, for instance, birds&bats detection and deterrence systems. Supply chainIt includes the risk of events related to the environmental management of the supply chain| Risks: The possibility of working with suppliers with no environmental knowledge or good practices with potential damage on biodiversity and ecosystem servicesOpportunities: As knowledge improves on how EDP's supply chain impacts on Biodiversity, risk mitigation processes to mitigate those impacts can become more robust Innovation and ResearchCooperation agreements and funding for research, for the development of knowledge; skills and technology or how these can pose new threats to environmental management| Risks: As innovative solutions emerge to address the energy transition, such as H2, Storage, floating renewable assets (e.g. solar PV and wind), new challenges on potential negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services impacts emergeOpportunities: External funding to improve Biodiversity knowledge and mitigation solutions accelerates the company's contribution to halt biodiversity loss. RegulationLinked to each thematic event category such as Climate Change, biodiversity, pollution and use of natural resources| Risk: Strict regulation on Biodiversity protection, such as increasing protected areas, may reduce the availability to accelerate the energy transition, namely the new renewable generation needed Risks are identified based on potential events associated with environmental macro-aspects, their internal context and compliance obligations (legal and voluntary) which, if materialised, would have an impact on the organisation's performance and/or the environment. This identification also includes potential emergency situations and external information representative of the company's reality and business trends. The assessment of the level of risk, whether with a negative impact (risk) or a positive impact (opportunity), is made considering the current probability of occurrence and impact of the event, based on specific scales supported on the level and scale of the potential damaged . The risk is then calculated by multiplying the current probability of the event occurring by its current impact. It also considers the level of reversibility, meaning if it is an acute damage or a chronic and irreversible one. Environmental risk management is a dynamic process and is reviewed periodically in particular when a material change could influence the organisation or the maintenance of environmental balance. E4.IRO-1_05 - Disclosure of whether and how consultations with affected communities on sustainability assessments of shared biological resources and ecosystems have been conducted Stakeholder engagement is a critical component of effective environmental management for any company. By involving a diverse range of stakeholders—including employees, customers, suppliers, local communities and regulatory bodies—organizations can gain valuable insights into the environmental impacts of their operations. This engagement fosters a collaborative approach to identifying environmental challenges and developing innovative solutions, which can lead to improved sustainability practices and operational efficiencies. The EDP Stakeholders Engagement Policy guarantees transversal principles that align the whole group in its relationship with society. It aims to promote a culture of transparency, strengthen the relationship with stakeholders, promote their effective and active engagement and minimize negative impacts in local communities, seeking the appropriate interaction between EDP and these entities. This policy is complemented with the Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy, guiding the process of local communities' engagement at project level, including the identification of risks, knowledge and expectations of the community. Under this process, specific consultations with stakeholders on biological resources and ecosystems are mainly conducted in the framework of the EIA process. Examples of local communities engaged during these processes include, communities living and/or working in the surrounding of the project; landowners; local authorities. When applicable, indigenous communities are part of the local communities's definition. It also includes in a broader view, NGO and general public, through the public consultation of the project during the EIA process The engagement process is locally set and depends on the size, technology and complexity of the project. It follows the demands of EIA process at local level, where it is required a period for public consultation and it can include local meetings, to present the project and a local speak-up channel for collecting any project concerns. 1 Step by step guidance: setting SBTs for Nature, 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 226| | | | | | | | | | Additionally, EDP provides to its stakeholders, the Speak Up whistleblowing channel, an easily accessible platform at EDP's website designed to facilitate the sharing of stakeholders’ complaints. E4.IRO-1_06 - Disclosure of whether and how specific sites, raw materials production or sourcing with negative or potential negative impacts on affected communities As described in E4-IRO-1_05, EDP follows the demands of the EIA process at local level, where it is required a period for public consultation and it can include specific engagement, as local meetings to present the project and a local speak-up channel for collecting any possible project concerns. Although the production or supply of raw materials used in the products in each asset may negatively impact the affected communities, EDP limits its analysis to its direct operations. At site level, specific consultations to local stakeholders allows the company to better understand the main issues of concern. These consultations are mainly conducted during the EIA process, and may include potential impacts on biological resources and ecosystems, depending mostly on the technology, the size of the project and the location of the site. Both these concerns and the results of the EIA Process contribute to the mitigation hierarchy approach conducted by the company. Additionally, EDP provides to its stakeholders a Speak Up channel designed to facilitate the sharing of stakeholders’ complaints. These inputs also contribute to the assessment of EDP's double materiality process. At site level, specific engagement processes are implemented to guarantee access from vulnerable communities, such as indigenous people or local communities without access to the technology. E4.IRO-1_07 \- Disclosure of whether and how communities were involved in materiality assessment The double materiality assessment, included focal points that when consulted would ensure that community perspectives and concerns were considered and included in the evaluation of IROs. EDP has established stakeholder management procedures and a Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy to ensure effective community engagement. These procedures outline the steps for identifying, segmenting, and prioritizing stakeholders, as well as methods for engagement and performance monitoring. The Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy supports these procedures by detailing the responsibilities and governance for affected community engagement. EDP teams gather information about affected communities' concerns through internal focal points, who act as direct links between EDP and these communities. This ensures that the perspectives of affected communities inform decisions and activities aimed at managing actual and potential impacts. The procedures also include methods for continuous disclosure, consultation, and reporting to stakeholders, ensuring transparency and responsiveness to community needs. E4.IRO-1_08 \- Disclosure of whether and how negative impacts on priority ecosystem services of relevance to affected communities may be avoided Following EDP’s double materiality assessment, listed in SBM-3_01, priority ecosystem services of relevance to affected communities are biodiversity loss and land degradation. EDP's approach to the protection of Biodiversity and ecosystem services allows EDP to anticipate regulatory pressures and to act in order to respond to society's expectations in the search for continuous improvement solutions. At an operational level, EDP applies the mitigation hierarchy throughout the entire cycle of power generation, transmission and distribution projects, focusing on the earliest planning stages and adopts the AMAT methodology, inspired by SBTN's Step-by-Step Guide to Nature-based target setting 1 Following the mitigation hierarchy, EDP: • avoids: identifies situations where it is possible to avoid impacts, already in the early design phase, through a careful selection of the place or period of time in which to establish infrastructure • minimises: after baseline survey of the state of local biodiversity, measures are taken to reduce the duration, intensity and/or extent of impacts that cannot be completely avoided • restores/rehabilitates: after the construction phase, it restores and rehabilitates the affected ecosystems, namely by bringing construction sites, temporary accesses, etc, back to their natural state • compensates (offset): when the previous phases have not proven sufficient to negate the project’s impact on local biodiversity, measures are taken to make up for the loss of significant adverse residual impacts, in the pursuit of net gains for biodiversity. The application of the mitigation hierarchy, in the "NNL – No Net Loss" or "NG-Net Gain" biodiversity objective, is | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 227| | | | | | | | | | achieved with biodiversity projects to offset significant residual impacts caused by the project that persist when not fully mitigated by previous steps. E4.IRO-1_14 \- Undertaking has sites located in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas Yes, detailed information is disclosed in indicator E4.SBM-3_04. E4.IRO-1_15 - Activities related to sites located in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas negatively affect these areas by leading to deterioration of natural habitats and habitats of species and to disturbance of species for which protected area has been designated EDP has assets in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas. The activities performed in these sites that can potentially affect the natural habitats and the species are: • the construction works required to build the plants: land movements, vegetation clearing, vehicles and machinery circulation. • the assets operation: presence of the infrastructures (dam/weir, aerial networks, turbines) and movement of the turbine blades. The emission of atmospheric pollutants, if not managed within the limits of the licenses to which they are subject, can contribute to environmental degradation, such as acid rain. • the dismantling works required at the end of the useful life of the assets: vehicles and machinery circulation and waste generation. Careful planning and mitigation measures can help balance the benefits of renewable energy with the preservation of protected areas. It is possible to harness renewable energy while still safeguarding the precious biodiversity that protected areas aim to preserve. By finding this balance, we can ensure a sustainable future that respects both our energy needs and our natural heritage. E4.IRO-1_16 - It has been concluded that it is necessary to implement biodiversity mitigation measures At EDP, the principles of the mitigation hierarchy are applied along the whole lifecycle of the projects through actions and initiatives seeking to avoid, minimize, restore, compensate and offset impacts. That has meant the implementation of biodiversity mitigation measures. The implementation strategy is based on the adoption of the AMAT methodology, inspired by SBTN's Step-by-Step Guide to Nature based target setting. Following the mitigation hierarchy, EDP: • avoids: identifies situations where it is possible to avoid impacts, already in the early design phase, through a careful selection of the place or period of time in which to establish infrastructure • minimises: after baseline survey of the state of local Biodiversity, measures are taken to reduce the duration, intensity and/or extent of impacts that cannot be completely avoided • restores/rehabilitates: after the construction phase, it restores and rehabilitates the affected ecosystems, namely by bringing construction sites, temporary accesses, etc, back to their natural state | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 228| | | | | | | | | | • compensates: when the previous phases have not proven sufficient to negate the project’s impact on local biodiversity, measures are taken to make up for the loss of significant adverse residual impacts, in the pursuit of net gains for biodiversity. The application of the mitigation hierarchy, in the biodiversity objective "NNL – No Net Loss" or "NG- Net Gain", is achieved with biodiversity projects to offset significant residual impacts caused by the project that persist when not fully mitigated by previous steps.

E4-2_02 - Explanation of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policy relates to material biodiversity and ecosystems-related impacts The EDP Environmental Policy establishes the guiding principles for the continuous improvement of performance in nature protection through a set of commitments such as integrate environmental protection and the enhancement of natural capital into decision-making processes, at different stages of the asset life cycle activities. The systematic implementation of the EIA process enables the specific identification of actual and future impacts project by project, as well as the definition of the mitigation measures required for each case, ensuring that its projects are developed in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. The progress in the implementation of the LEAP approach (first exercise performed in 2024 will allow us in the upcoming years to seek a positive balance in the long term on material sites. E4-2_03 \- Explanation of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policy relates to material dependencies and material physical and transition risks and opportunities As described in E4.IRO-1_03, EDP has a process in place for risks management defined in the framework of its corporate environmental management system. EDP Environmental Policy aim is to identify, assess, and mitigate the risks of its activities, in different environmental dimensions, seeking to maximize opportunities and progressively extend them to the supply chain. As EDP has made a first exercise following the LEAP approach (TNFD) for the identification and evaluation of the nature-related impacts and dependencies in its direct operations and to assess its main risks and opportunities, the outputs of this process will allow EDP during 2025 to progress E4-2_04 - Explanation of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policy supports traceability of products, components and raw materials with significant actual or potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems along value chain EDP's Environmental Policy considers the promotion of its principles along its value chain and Procurement practices consider biodiversity as a screening topic to assess the supplier maturity on the subject. However, as of today, the criteria used for the traceability of products being purchased do not include Biodiversity as a key component due to the extreme complexity of such process. E4-2_05 - Explanation of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policy addresses production, sourcing or consumption from ecosystems that are managed to maintain or enhance conditions for biodiversity EDP's Environmental Policy considers the promotion of its principles along its supply chain and Procurement practices consider biodiversity as a screening topic to assess the supplier maturity on the subject. Additionally, this policy highlights the need for decoupling the economic development from natural resources exploitation, by incentivising the circularity of products and materials | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 230| | | | | | | | | | sourced and a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. For key components, EDP is already requiring LCA information from suppliers to monitor the main environmental impacts of such products, which includes Biodiversity related issues. E4-2_06 \- Explanation of whether and how biodiversity and ecosystems-related policy addresses social consequences of biodiversity and ecosystems-related impacts EDP's Environmental Policy supports a corporate environmental management system, third party certified according with ISO14001:2015. These instruments are in place to address environmental impacts, including biodiversity and ecosytems-related issues, that when badly manage, can have social consequences. To properly manage these potential social consequences, EDP Environmental Policy promotes the involvement of interested parties, in particular, affected communities and indigenous people, as a critical step to consider their relevant expectations in the implementation of the Environmental Policy and in the decision-making processes. The commitment to apply the mitigation hierarchy includes the possibility of compensation/ offsetting which have direct social impact. At a case-by-case situation these initiatives translated in social positive. Examples: • reducing biodiversity loss ensures the continued availability of ecosystem services vital for human well-being • using water sustainably avoids social conflicts linked to water availability in water stressed regions • promoting an efficient use of natural resources and promoting circularity, reduces pressure on nature and promotes the decoupling of economic growth from intensive natural resource use • addressing climate change, with CO2 as a key ecosystem regulating service, mitigates significant adverse social consequences, from health effects to forced displacement due to droughts, sea level raise, etc. E4-2_17 - Biodiversity and ecosystem protection policy covering operational sites owned, leased, managed in or near protected area or biodiversity-sensitive area outside protected areas has been adopted EDP Environment Policy and its commitments are applicable to all sites owned, leased, or managed by the group independently if they are or not in or near protected areas. Additional information concerning the scope is detailed in BP-01-03. The EIA process and the follow of the mitigation hierarchy ensures the prioritization of avoidance or reducing the negative impacts. Also, the first exercise that EDP has made following the LEAP approach (TNFD) to identify sensitive locations and to evaluate the impact and dependencies on nature at project level will continue to be developed and integrated in decision making. E4-2_18 \- Sustainable land or agriculture practices or policies have been adopted EDP Environmental Policy includes the following principles to promote a sustainable land use: • protect the Environment at the different stages of development, construction, operation, and decommissioning of infrastructure • properly manage environmental risk, in particular pollution prevention and emergency response in the event of an accident and/or catastrophe • minimize the use of natural resources necessary to properly carry out its activities. This policy does not explicitly addresses sustainable land or agriculture practices. E4-2_20 \- Policies to address deforestation have been adopted EDP Environmental Policy seeks to contribute to reducing the loss of biodiversity, produced by deforestation or other activities, promoting the mitigation hierarchy , and in the long-term aim for a net benefit in terms of biodiversity, as it is stated in its specific commitments for biodiversity. The mitigation hierarchy contributes to no net deforestation, however EDP does not have a specific policy to address deforestation. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 231| | | | | | | | | | E4.MDR-A_01-12 - Actions and resources in relation to biodiversity and ecosystems The main actions and resources related to biodiversity and ecosystems applied at EDP are: | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|--- KEY ACTIONS | EXPECTED OUTCOMES | CONTRIBUTION TO TARGETS*| SCOPE** | STATUS 2024| TIME HORIZON Perform environmental feasibility studies in early stages of projects | Ensure proper location of the assets avoiding biodiversity sensitive areas and identifying at very early stages environmental constraints to avoid/prevent| 1,2,3 | Direct operations – all geographies with new projects| In place | 2026 (aligned with target 3 time horizon) Perform environmental impact studies and environmental specific studies| to know in depth the environmental characteristics of the project and the potential environmental constraints to manage during the design of the facility, as well as during its whole life cycle.| 1,2,3,4,5 | Direct operations – all geographies with new projects| In place | 2026 (aligned with target 3 and 4 time horizon) Environmental monitoring during construction, operation and decommissioning phases.| To monitor and properly manage environmental aspects and impacts during the whole lifecycle of the projects | 2,3,4,5 | Direct operations – all EDP projects| In place | 2026 (aligned with target 3 time horizon) Implementation of Environmental Management Systems | To ensure proper environmental management of projects and assets| 2,3,4,5 | Direct operations – all EDP projects| In place | 2026 (aligned with target 3 time horizon) *EDP Targets: 1.

E4-3_02 - Biodiversity offsets were used in action plan / E4-3_03 - Disclosure of aim of biodiversity offset and key performance indicators used / E4-3_08 - Description of biodiversity offsets EDP follows the mitigation hierarchy, but has not yet quantified the achievement of NNL or NG. Therefore, biodiversity offsets have not been included in the action plan. E4-3_09 - Description of whether and how local and indigenous knowledge and nature-based solutions have been incorporated into biodiversity and ecosystems- related action EDP is aware of the importance, and is committed to promote the involvement of local communities and indigenous populations and the use of NbS for proper management of biodiversity and ecosystems related actions. Promoting a regular presence at the location of the projects or facilities, both of its own personnel and of external personnel working on behalf of EDP (environmental monitoring, etc.) and the hiring of local personnel, are two key aspects to make this possible. For example, in Mexico, in Los Cañones project, on the recommendation of the local indigenous community (via the Autonomous University of Nuevo León), EDP is implementing a cleaning and scarification process for some seeds in the region. In Los Cuervos project, EDP is using local knowledge to quickly and accurately identify several plant species in the region, as well as to manage and rejuvenate a native plant species through a local pruning process, with considerable success. E4.MDR-T_01-13 \- Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets EDP has set several environmental commitments and targets aiming at contributing to support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and its 2030 targets. These commitments cover the scope of this report, detailed in BP-1_03, excluding for this purpose the supply chain. • Climate change: EDP’s target of achieving net zero by 2040, detailed in E1-1_02 has a direct contribution to Target 8 which is to minimize the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. • Biodiversity protection: Framed by its Environmental Policy, EDP commits to contribute to i) reducing Biodiversity loss, prioritising the mitigation hierarchy and aiming for a positive result in the biodiversity balance in the long term; ii) to contribute to deepening scientific knowledge of | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 232| | | | | | | | | | biodiversity and ecosystem services, especially through setting up partnerships and iii) not building new production facilities in areas included in the UNESCO World Heritage List”.

This participation has supported the design of these targets although without direct contribution. Examples of these organizations where EDP participates: WBCSD; Act4Nature Portugal, Fundación Biodiversidad, Spain; REWI, USA. E4-4_01 \- Ecological threshold and allocation of impacts to undertaking were applied when setting target (biodiversity and ecosystems) To comply with the above targets, EDP has considered the location of its assets, considering their potential risk. As off today, an asset is internally considered with significant risk for Biodiversity when located in or near areas of conservation interest or when an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) flags biodiversity risks identified locally. Ecological thresholds are considered when selecting the datasets being used to map the potential risk of the assets. These datasets include: • World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA): managed by Birdlife International on behalf of the KBA Partnership. It is updated twice per year. Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) are the most important places in the world for species and their habitats. The KBA network includes ‘sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity’, in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems • World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA): is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas. Its compilation and management is carried out by the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organisations, academia and industry. The WDPA is updated at the start of each month in IBAT • UICN Red List of Threatened Species: is a rich compendium of information on threats, ecological requirements, and habitats of over 155,000 species; and on conservation actions that can be taken to reduce or prevent extinctions. It is updated routinely around the year. Additionally, at local level, during the permitting stage, mitigation/compensatory measures applied to a specific project also consider local ecological thresholds such as excess fragmented or rare habitats disturbance; local species/populations vulnerabilities and risk of local extinction, for example. E4-4_02 - Disclosure of ecological threshold identified and methodology used to identify threshold (biodiversity and ecosystems) The ecological thresholds mentioned in E4-4_01 are defined by highly reputable organizations such as IUCN, Birdlife International and UNEP. Their methodologies are internationally recognized and recommended, making their data and assessments reliable sources for management and use as risk criteria for biodiversity. These organizations develop their methodologies in collaboration with leading scientific institutions, ensuring that their work is based on the latest scientific knowledge and best practices, and they publish them, ensuring transparency in decision-making processes. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 233| | | | | | | | | | E4-4_03 - Disclosure of how entity-specific threshold was determined (biodiversity and ecosystems) The ecological thresholds considered are not entity specific. E4-4_04 - Disclosure of how responsibility for respecting identified ecological threshold is allocated (biodiversity and ecosystems) The responsibility of complying with local permitting outcomes is set at the level of the country manager. The responsibility of risk assessment considering IBAT datasets are set at corporate level, with the decision of an oriented action plan being decided jointly by Corporate and Regional level. E4-4_05 - Target is informed by relevant aspect of EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 The targets established by EDP for Biodiversity are aligned with the European strategy for biodiversity, as they consider the same time horizon and contribute directly to the defined goal of halting and reversing the trend of global biodiversity loss by 2030, that is, working to achieve a positive impact on Nature. E4-4_06 - Disclosure of how the targets relate to the biodiversity and ecosystem impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities identified in relation to own operations and upstream and downstream value chain EDP's Business Plan for 2023-2026 includes targets related to Nature, with the overarching goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2040, a target endorsed by SBTi in early 2023. Furthermore, EDP has set a corporate objective to attain a Biodiversity "Net Gain" in all new projects with significant residual impacts by 2030. By 2026, EDP aims to have implemented Net Gain Biodiversity tracking systems in 100% of new projects, signifying the need for all internal knowledge and resources to be in place to enable the company to meet Nature's 2030 targets. Additionally, under EDP’s corporate commitments, EDP will not build new generation facilities in Natural Heritage Sites from the UNESCO World Heritage List”. E4-4_07 - Disclosure of the geographical scope of the targets EDP targets related to Nature are applicable in all geographies where EDP is present according with the level of risk on biodiversity. Additional information concerning the scope is detailed in BP-01-03 E4-4_08 \- Biodiversity offsets were used in setting target EDP applies the mitigation hierarchy but no quantification on NNL or NG achievement has been yet done. So, no biodiversity offsets have been used in the action plan. E4-4_09 \- Layer in mitigation hierarchy to which target can be allocated (biodiversity and ecosystems) EDP Nature related targets can be allocated to all layers of the mitigation hierarchy: avoidance, minimisation, restoration, rehabilitation and compensation. E4-5_01 - Number of sites owned, leased or managed in or near protected areas or key biodiversity areas that undertaking is negatively affecting/ E4-5_02 - Area of sites owned, leased or managed in or near protected areas or key biodiversity areas that undertaking is negatively affecting Following what is indicated in E4.SBM-3_04, the location of a site in or in the vicinity of a protected area or key biodiversity area may have a potential negative impact on biodiversity. Aiming to determine the biodiversity risk at specific sites, as described in E4.SBM-3_01, EDP is working on the development of a biodiversity risk assessment process for its assets. The information on the number of sites in protected areas/key biodiversity areas and the surface area occupied by them, is presented below. The surface occupied by EDP sites was calculated considering the wind turbines’ rotor diameter (when turbine rotor diameter is not available, maximum rotor diameter is used), the solar farms’ area, the reservoirs of hydropower plants and the networks’ management strip area. 1 WDPA - World Database on Protected Areas.

Resource scarcity or supply chain disruptions could lead to cost increases, delays, or operational constraints, potentially increasing capital and operational expenditures to secure alternative materials, diversify suppliers, or develop recycling processes for critical components. This could impact short- and medium-term cash flows and profitability. Stricter regulations on resource extraction, waste management, and circularity may impose additional compliance costs on EDP. Adapting to evolving regulations could result in increased expenses, including investments in recycling technologies and waste reduction systems, affecting financial performance in the medium term. Extreme weather events linked to climate change could disrupt operations, increasing maintenance costs, insurance premiums, or necessitating the redesign of resource-intensive processes. These factors could lead to heightened operational costs and reduced efficiency over the short and long term, with potential implications for EDP’s cash flow stability. Market and investor preferences for sustainable and circular practices may exert pressure on EDP to enhance its circular economy commitments. This could lead to the reallocation of resources toward R&D and implementing circular business models, resulting in increased short-term costs but potentially improving competitive positioning in the long term. Anticipated Financial Effects of Material Opportunities: Integrating circular economy principles can lower material costs and reduce dependency on virgin resources. For example, repowering older wind farms with new components and reusing or recycling end-of-life solar panels can decrease lifecycle costs of assets, improve cash flows, and enhance profitability in the medium and long term. Deploying circular solutions in battery technologies, such as second-life applications and advanced recycling processes, aligns with emerging energy storage markets. This can enhance revenue potential and provide a competitive advantage by offering sustainable storage solutions. Minimizing waste during project construction and operations aligns with cost-saving measures and stakeholder expectations. Efficient resource use can lead to reduced operational costs and improved profitability. Demonstrating commitment to circularity and sustainability can enhance access to ESG-aligned financing opportunities, such as green bonds or sustainability-linked loans. This can result in favourable borrowing terms and increased capital inflow for scaling projects, improving EDP’s financial position in the long term. E5-6_03 - Description of effects considered and related impacts (resource use and circular economy) EDP considers several effects and related impacts in its approach to resource use and circular economy. One significant effect is the potential for resource scarcity and supply chain disruptions, particularly concerning critical materials like rare earth elements and silicon. This could lead to cost increases, delays, or operational constraints, necessitating increased capital and operational expenditures to secure alternative materials, diversify suppliers, or develop recycling processes. Regulatory changes also play a crucial role. Stricter regulations on resource extraction, waste management, and circularity may result in additional compliance costs. Adapting to these evolving regulations could involve increased expenses for investments in recycling technologies and waste reduction systems. Climate change impacts are another critical consideration. Extreme weather events could disrupt operations, increasing maintenance costs, insurance premiums, or necessitating the redesign of resource-intensive processes. These disruptions could lead to heightened operational costs and reduced efficiency. Market and consumer expectations for sustainable and circular practices exert pressure on EDP to enhance its circular economy commitments. This may involve reallocating resources toward research and development and implementing circular business models, potentially increasing short- term costs but improving long-term competitive positioning. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Environmental information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 243| | | | | | | | | | The related impacts of these effects are multifaceted. Environmentally, focusing on the durability, reusability, and recycling of equipment and materials helps reduce EDP’s environmental footprint, conserve natural resources, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Economically, implementing circular economy principles can lead to cost savings through reduced material costs, lower waste management expenses, and improved efficiency, contributing to EDP’s financial stability and profitability. Socially, EDP’s commitment to sustainability and circular economy practices enhances its reputation and aligns with stakeholder expectations, fostering positive relationships with local communities and stakeholders. E5-6_04 - Disclosure of critical assumptions used in estimates of financial effects of material risks and opportunities arising from resource use and circular economy- related impacts EDP is in the process of developing methodologies to calculate the financial effects of material risks and opportunities related to resource use and circular economy impacts. Within this process EDP considers several assumptions: • the availability and market prices of critical materials, such as rare earth elements and silicon, will remain relatively stable. Significant fluctuations could affect cost estimates for securing alternative materials or developing recycling processes • current and anticipated regulations on resource extraction, waste management, and circularity will evolve in a predictable manner. Sudden regulatory changes could lead to unexpected compliance costs and need additional investments in recycling technologies and waste reduction systems • technological advancements in recycling and resource efficiency are expected to continue at a steady pace. Breakthroughs or delays in technology development could alter the financial impacts of implementing circular economy practices • market and consumer preferences for sustainable and circular practices are assumed to grow steadily. Rapid shifts in market expectations could require accelerated investments in R&D and circular business models, affecting short-term financial performance • these critical assumptions underpin EDP's ongoing efforts to estimate the financial effects related to the risks and opportunities arising from resource use and circular economy impacts. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 244| | | | | | | | | | 4.3. Social information ESRS S1 Own workforce S1.SBM-3_01 \- All people in its own workforce who can be materially impacted by undertaking are included in scope of disclosure under ESRS 2 All employees in EDP Group can be materially impacted and are in the scope of disclosure under ESRS 2. S1.SBM-3_02 - Description of types of employees and non-employees in its own workforce subject to material impacts Employees: includes all people with a fixed-term or permanent employment contract with EDP or one of its subsidiaries. Non-employees: this concept is still being defined in order to meet labour relations requirements. In this sense, EDP will not report non-employees' datapoints in the first year. S1.SBM-3_03 - Material negative impacts occurrence (own workforce) EDP Group recognizes material negative impacts in gender diversity, pay gap and employee attraction and retention. As an energy company, EDP attracts a predominantly male workforce, which influences diversity across leadership and impacts turnover rates. EDP is actively addressing these issues through initiatives to promote inclusion and reduce pay gaps. In terms of attraction and retention, operating in countries where EDP's brand is less recognized poses challenges in attracting talent. Additionally, global trends like "Quiet Quitting" and the "Great Resignation" highlight the importance of strengthening engagement and retention strategies. In terms of pay gap, to prevent and mitigate this impact, EDP develops clear policies and procedures in key processes such as recruitment, job offers and salaries that comply with internal equity and market alignment, preventing systemic impacts such as the gender pay gap. For both systemic and contextual situations, EDP develops responses adjusted to the situation, considering, if applicable, potential compensatory mechanisms. S1.SBM-3_04 \- Description of activities that result in positive impacts and types of employees and non-employees in its own workforce that are positively affected or could be positively affected EDP Group's presence in nearly 30 markets and multiple generations in the workforce shape a diverse and inclusive culture. EDP creates positive impacts for all employees through diversity initiatives and professional development. These efforts foster collaboration and innovation across the organization. To ensure a response to the needs of employees in various matters of their personal and professional sphere, as well as to anticipate potential opportunities and mitigate risks, EDP develops forums for listening to employees such as the annual organizational climate study or the biennial Ethics study. The results of these studies have inspired the implementation of various initiatives to promote health, physical, emotional, financial, social and professional well-being, the integration of personal and professional life, support for parenthood and greater flexibility in working time and space: • flexible working arrangements (temporal and spatial) - EDP promotes a 3:2 hybrid working model for compatible functions, including other flexibility measures such as Flex Fridays, which allow employees to manage their professional and personal responsibilities in a more balanced way • offer of days off (birthday and celebration of local festivities) - in addition to flexible working hours, EDP also offers a birthday celebration day-off and a day associated with important festivities in each region where it operates (Magic Season day-off) • support for parenthood - as a family-responsible company, EDP provides a range of family and parenthood support measures such as: in some countries, EDP offers pregnant women 15 consecutive days' leave in the period immediately preceding the expected date of childbirth, without loss of compensation (this is also applicable in the case of adoption); a cash gift for newborns: vouchers for childcare/education services or breastfeeding rooms in some offices | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 245| | | | | | | | | | • Mind Your Mind - an awareness campaign focused on promoting mental health which reinforces the importance of approaching the issue in a transparent way, appealing to preventive behaviours, through different global and local initiatives which seek to promote an increasingly healthy working environment and ensure comprehensive support services • global psychological support lines - EDP provides a variety of psychological support lines, available to all employees globally. Additionally, EDP has employee listening procedures in different dimensions or phases of their experience, with the organizational climate study cycle being the main one, allowing for employee feedback to be gathered and acted upon. Integrated into "Changing Tomorrow Now... With You", PlayitSafe operationalises the "#36 – Zero Accidents Strategy" initiative, with the goals of: i) Reducing occupational accidents and eliminating serious and fatal accidents; ii) Increasing the safety culture of the EDP Group and iii) Improving external recognition of EDP's performance in terms of Health and Safety at Work. PlayitSafe cuts across the whole group, lasting four years and promoting ongoing improvement in the company and its procedures, with a special focus on accident prevention. Thus, this project and the underlying work will be carried out around six priority axes essential to the aim of reducing accidents. They are: • the commitment and involvement of leaders in Prevention and Safety • promotion of safe behaviours and learning from mistakes • digitisation of processes and operations • enhanced Prevention and Safety skills • communication and involvement with Prevention and Safety • management of the procurement chain. In order to evaluate the psychosocial risks to which its employees are exposed in the workplace, a protocol was developed between EDP and the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Lisbon, for the development of the "Study of Psychosocial Risks in EDP employees". The study covered all EDP employees, who were invited to participate, by completing an online questionnaire. In conclusion, EDP Group employees can be considered to have reported manageable stress and satisfactory well-being in the performance of their work and may be considered to be working in a healthy professional environment. S1.SBM-3_05 - Description of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on own workforce EDP Group depends on a skilled, diverse workforce, creating both opportunities and risks. Key opportunities include attracting women in STEM, a global inclusive recruitment strategy, ensuring fair career opportunities, promoting generation diversity, and enabling growth through flexible work and career progression frameworks. Risks stem from adapting to a competitive energy market, geopolitical conflicts, and global disruptions, highlighting the need for a resilient and aligned workforce. EDP can also emphasise the risks and opportunities on own workforce related to the dynamics associated with flexible working models or factors associated with health and well-being at work and on the job. While hybrid and remote working increases productivity and employee satisfaction, it also poses challenges such as the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life, increased risks of burnout and potential demotivation and loss of purpose over time. To this end, EDP will continue to proactively invest in wellness programs, mental health support and policies that promote balance and inclusion. In addition, the use of technology to optimize work processes and maintain a strong organizational culture is key to mitigating these risks while increasing talent retention and overall workforce resilience. Significant changes in the world of work over the last decades have resulted in emerging occupational health and safety risks, with a focus on so-called psychosocial risks - such as stress, violence, harassment and intimidation - associated with problems in the workplace. Ensuring a healthy work environment and promoting well-being, in addition to being a social responsibility factor of the organization, is an economic factor as it ensures that the organization performs effectively. Poor quality work and work environments lead to significant economic losses, due to a decrease in performance in carrying out the tasks or to absenteeism or associated health expenses. However, ensuring a healthy work environment promotes a positive image of the company and leads to the creation of high-quality and socially responsible management with positive effects on performance and competitiveness. The employees were invited to answer the survey online, where the response rate was quite positive. The survey aimed to identify the factors associated with the emergence of both stress and well- | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 246| | | | | | | | | | being, as well as the establishment of intervention guidelines for the creation of a safer and healthier work environment. One of the focuses was on burnout syndrome, recognised as an occupational disease and which is a more frequent form of chronic stress in the workplace, causing high costs for both the individual and the company. In this sense, the values of burnout reached by EDP Group were below the European average. In the engagement category, which refers to positive feelings and sense of accomplishment as the positive cognitive-affective state related to work, results are in line with the European average. This set of two indicators are very positive, revealing stamina, dedication and absorption in the work within healthy parameters. Regarding work demands where criteria such as overtime working, autonomy and job uncertainty are evaluated, the results were equally satisfactory when compared to the European average. Lack of overwork, decision-making independence in the professional role and the absence of job insecurity stand out. S1.SBM-3_06 \- Description of material impacts on workers that may arise from transition plans for reducing negative impacts on environment and achieving greener and climate-neutral operations Aligned with commitment to be all green by 2030, EDP has been increasing its renewable power and reducing the generation from coal-fired power plants and natural gas. From this energy transition may arise some negative impacts on employees such as: jobs that no longer exist, and under skilled employees for future jobs. EDP has taken measures to mitigate this negative impacts, as described in S1-4_19. S1.SBM-3_07 \- Information about type of operations at significant risk of incidents of forced labour or compulsory labour / S1.SBM-3_08 - Information about countries or geographic areas with operations considered at significant risk of incidents of forced labour or compulsory labour Considering: • the UNEP Financial Initiative disclosure of high-risk countries for Human Rights, EDP does not have direct operations in high risk countries. EDP still has operation in Colombia, but has publicly informed the market of its decision to exit this market • the type of activities developed by EDP's own workforce, mainly highly technical qualified jobs • the outputs of EDP's internal speak-up channel since 2012, with no complains on this topic. There is no evidence of any material risks regarding the existence of forced labour or compulsory labour within EDP's workforce. S1.SBM-3_09 \- Information about type of operations at significant risk of incidents of child labour / S1.SBM-3_10 - Information about countries or geographic areas with operations considered at significant risk of incidents of child labour EDP does not operate in any of the top 20 countries recognized as having child labour, according with UNICEF Child Labour Statistics nor it operates in a sector identified as being more exposed to such reality. Additionally, EDP has in place an internal contract process that guarantees there is no child labour within its own workforce. No incidents have ever been flagged. S1.SBM-3_11 \- Disclosure of whether and how understanding of people in its own workforce with particular characteristics, working in particular contexts, or undertaking particular activities may be at greater risk of harm has been developed The risks or potential risks to which employees may be subjected are identified in a fairly comprehensive way through various areas of expertise: safety, health, well-being or diversity, equity, and inclusion. These risks are identified at various points in the employee's journey, depending on the circumstances in which each person or group of people finds themselves (new hires, returning after leave, or voluntary or involuntary exits). In addition, the positions and functions for which EDP recruits are analysed according to the risk they pose to people's safety, health and well-being, and an analysis is made of the job and the person's conditions, which may include occupational medicine to assess the person's medical aptitude and other ergonomic analyses. Furthermore, EDP's off boarding experience guarantees that knowledge management is an issue to be addressed when employees leave to guarantee the sustainability of teams and the organization. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 247| | | | | | | | | | S1.SBM-3_12 - Disclosure of which of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on people in its own workforce relate to specific groups of people EDP tracks the entire talent management journey, from attraction to off boarding, and monitors both professional and demographic indicators to help identify risks and opportunities that may affect specific groups or the workforce as a whole. This data-driven approach enables EDP to recognize where targeted actions may be needed. For example, focused action plans have been developed, such as the Gender Equality Plan, to address specific needs and opportunities for particular groups of employees, ensuring that EDP's strategies are tailored to the unique circumstances and challenges faced by different segments of EDP´s workforce. In this context, EDP identifies potential risks that may arise from specific circumstances or groups of employees such as, for example, employees approaching retirement age and employees with technical operation and maintenance functions assigned to company assets that are being phased out. In these situations, risk analyses and integrated action plans are carried out in order to mitigate the impacts they may generate, including internal mobility within the company, training or reskilling plans, outplacement services, and/or health insurance after leaving for a limited period. S1.MDR-P_01-06 - Policies to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to its own workforce Concerning the management of material impacts, risks, and opportunities for EDP's workforce, the policies guarantee the following: • commitment to human rights and labour standards: EDP is committed to respecting human rights and labour standards, ensuring fair treatment, and promoting diversity and inclusion of its employees • health and safety: the company prioritizes the health and safety of its employees, implementing comprehensive health and safety management systems and promoting a culture of safety • training and development: EDP invests in the training and continuous development of its employees, providing opportunities to improve skills and career growth • employee engagement and well-being: the company focuses on employee engagement and well-being, offering various programs and initiatives to support work-life balance and overall well-being • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB): EDP promotes diversity and inclusion, ensuring equal opportunities for all employees and promoting an inclusive work environment • sustainability and environmental responsibility: the company integrates sustainability and environmental responsibility into its workforce policies, encouraging employees to adopt sustainable practices. These policies are intended to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to EDP's workforce, covering all employees. The EDP Group has an Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) policy. This policy reinforces the strategic objective of achieving “Zero accidents, no personal injury”. Safety - understood as Occupational Health and Safety - is an integral part of the activity of the EDP Group companies and is present in every decision: in planning, construction, operation and maintenance, in staff management, procurement, commercial activities, and relations involving customers, suppliers and the general public. Safety at work should be achieved through the systematic analysis of risks, involving the workers and their representatives, as well as service providers, as applicable, so as to identify and treat all situations with potential risk, during the preparation of work, in order to achieve an acceptable level of risk. If there are no safety conditions for the carrying out of a job, it must not be started or, if it is already in progress, it must be stopped. No action shall be taken against any employee who expresses concern about an issue related to Health and Safety at Work or is involved in a near-accident, unless s/he has consciously and intentionally carried out an illegal act or wilfully disregarded a safety rule or procedure. S1-1_01 - Policies to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to own workforce, including for specific groups within workforce or all own workforce EDP Group maintains a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Policy, which is critical to managing material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to its workforce.

EDP also has some specific plans for targeted persons such as women (e.g. Plan for Gender Equality) and is committed to respecting human rights and labour standards (Human and Labour Rights Policy), ensuring fair treatment of its employees. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 248| | | | | | | | | | The Health and Safety of stakeholders is fundamental to the success of the EDP Group, whose main objective is to consolidate a positive safety culture through the involvement of everyone.

The Health and Safety Policy, which has been communicated and is available internally and externally, reflects the commitment to continuous improvement, with the conviction that working in a safe and healthy environment is a determining factor for employee satisfaction and an asset for successful results. S1-1_02 - Disclosure of explanations of significant changes to policies adopted during reporting year During 2024, a new procedure was created to implement new controls and analysis in what concerns Ethics and Compliance checks and risk management in the entrance in new countries.

This procedure establishes general rules for compliance risk analysis and implement risk management mechanisms, ensuring that different risks are considered in investment decisions. Another policy that was revised was the Social Investment Policy, to clarify and unify the process and the monitoring of all social investment in the group. The procedure for Gifts and event was updated to reflect new limits in the different region which EDP operates. Once the corresponding updates were completed, the revised policies were published on both external and internal websites to ensure their proper dissemination among all employees of the organization. In this regard, all policies establish a biennial review period to address potential organizational changes as well as adjustments to legislative modification. In 2024, the Code of Ethics, applicable to all employees, underwent its biennial review.

If the complaint is valid, an investigation is conducted independently and objectively to determine the credibility of the complaint. This process involves collecting, analysing, and investigating the facts rigorously. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 256| | | | | | | | | | The investigation process is managed by the Ethics & Compliance Officer (ECO) and the Ethics Commission, ensuring that all complaints are handled impartially and without conflicts of interest. The ECO is responsible for maintaining a secure communication channel with the whistleblower and ensuring compliance with applicable legislation and internal policies. Additionally, the company emphasizes the importance of corrective actions and follow-up on complaints. Measures identified and recommended for correcting any unlawful and/or unethical behaviour found in the complaints are implemented and monitored to ensure their effectiveness. This includes changes to processes and control methods, corrections or adjustments to documentation, increased awareness or training on specific subjects, and other necessary measures. S1-3_06 - Disclosure of processes through which undertaking supports or requires availability of channels The company ensures that its communication channels for reporting complaints, namely the Speak Up Channel and the Ethics Channel, are available 24/7. These channels are accessible to all employees and stakeholders through both internal and external platforms, with the Ethics Channel being available exclusively in Brazil. These channels facilitate the reporting of any perceived violations of the Code of Ethics, internal regulations, or legal requirements. To guarantee uninterrupted service, a dedicated maintenance team is on standby around the clock. This team is responsible for monitoring the system's integrity and promptly addressing any technical issues that may arise. This proactive approach ensures that the communication channels remain operational, providing a reliable means for individuals to report concerns confidentially and securely. S1-3_07 - Disclosure of how issues raised and addressed are tracked and monitored and how effectiveness of channels is ensured As stated in the company Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure, the process begins with the receipt of a complaint, that is registered and filed in the complaint management support tool. All reports are automatically assigned a sequential number by the platform and cannot be modified or deleted. This ensures that all complaints and their respective investigations are documented and maintained with strict confidentiality and data protection measures. The channel was, in 2023, submitted to an internal audit. S1-3_08 - Disclosure of whether and how it is assessed that its own workforce is aware of and trust structures or processes as way to raise their concerns or needs and have them addressed To assess whether the company workforce is aware of and trust the structures or processes in place to raise their concerns or needs and have them addressed, the company conducts a biennial internal ethics survey. This survey includes a set of questions specifically designed to address this topic. Additionally, the annual climate survey also features questions aimed at understanding the workforce's awareness and trust in these structures and processes. S1-3_09 - Policies regarding protection against retaliation for individuals that use channels to raise concerns or needs are in place The company has established comprehensive policies to protect individuals who use channels to raise concerns or needs, ensuring they are safeguarded against retaliation. The company prohibits any acts of retaliation against individuals who file complaints in good faith. This includes threats, attempts at retaliation, and any form of discrimination or adverse treatment. The policies ensure that the identity of the whistleblower is protected unless disclosure is required by law. To further protect whistleblowers, the company has implemented several measures: • confidentiality and anonymity: whistleblowers can choose to remain anonymous, and all reports are treated with strict confidentiality. The identity of the whistleblower is not disclosed to those affected or investigated without their consent • regular monitoring: the Ethics & Compliance Officer monitors the situation of whistleblowers to ensure they are not subjected to any form of retaliation. This includes periodic meetings and reviews of performance assessments to detect any signs of retaliatory acts • support measures: the company provides support to whistleblowers, including legal protection and access to the courts to defend their rights. In cases where retaliation is confirmed, appropriate disciplinary measures are taken against the perpetrators, and efforts are made to restore the whistleblower to their original situation. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 257| | | | | | | | | | S1.MDR-A_01-12 - Action plans and resources to manage its material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to its own workforce EDP is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent through a comprehensive talent strategy built on three key pillars: • attraction, where it enhances its employer branding strategy, scale up sourcing efforts, and ensures a broader and more diverse talent pool (e.g. internship programs, events, partnerships with universities, targeted initiatives) • experience, where its global strategy focuses on well-being, flexibility, and inclusion (e.g. DEIB Policy, well-being strategy, flexibility measures such as the hybrid work model and the Flex Fridays measure and Organizational Climate Survey), supported by a strong compensation and benefits framework and a top-tier talent retention and succession plan (e.g. retention framework, succession planning process, Global Compensation Framework, Global Benefits Framework) • development, where it fosters global collaboration and mobility, strengthens leadership growth, and promotes continuous reskilling and upskilling (e.g. Annual Learning Plan, Lead First program, Lead forward program). S1-4_01 - Description of action taken, planned or underway to prevent or mitigate negative impacts on own workforce EDP discloses the actions taken, planned, or underway to prevent or mitigate material negative impacts on its own workforce, such as a its matrix operating model, structured by platforms, regions, business support areas, and a shared services centre in order to optimize its structure and services; greater digital maturity and process efficiency through digital platforms; greater collaboration through global digital communities; an inclusive and flexible work environment that promotes the integration of personal and professional life; or a culture oriented towards continuous learning and development. To mitigate the negative impact that an unequal benefit offer may cause to employees in different geographies and to promote well-being and satisfaction, EDP implemented, for example, the extension of three benefits - birthday Celebration day-off, Magic Season day-off and the Psychological Support Line, reinforcing its commitment to a flexible, healthy and family-oriented work culture. S1-4_02 - Disclosure on whether and how action has been taken to provide or enable remedy in relation to actual material impact EDP ensures that clear and transparent processes and procedures are defined so that it can act consistently and proactively to resolve situations that impact employees in their day-to-day work and throughout their professional and personal journey. Any exceptional situation or situation arising from unforeseen circumstances is promptly analysed and a specific action plan is defined. This could include situations relating to the business, such as the planned closure of an asset, business unit or region of operation, or situations linked to the lives of employees, such as support in situations of family vulnerability, illness or equivalent. Aspects related to the integration of personal and professional life and flexibility are highly valued by employees in the Organizational Climate Study and, because they directly impact the personal and professional life, job satisfaction and well-being of employees, they are closely monitored by EDP. Thus, in the context of greater equity in the offer of benefits in all regions, in 2024 a project was started that aims to standardize a set of relevant benefits associated with health care, parenting support or flexibility and free time. In 2024, the psychological support lines were launched globally, as well as the Birthday and Magic Season days off (a day associated with local festivities). These benefits reached more employees, bringing more flexibility in their use (fixed days vs. current month) and valuing, in the case of festivities, the cultural diversity of the countries where EDP operates. The result of this investment in excellence in workplace practices and EDP's dedication to promoting a supportive and inclusive work culture, is EDP's EFR global certification, one of only two companies in the world to hold a certification at this level. S1-4_03 - Description of additional initiatives or actions with primary purpose of delivering positive impacts for own workforce EDP discloses actions or initiatives that it has underway with the main goal of producing positive impacts for its employees: • providing its employees a human and meaningful experience, through a global purpose, human skills, and concrete well-being and flexibility measures • focusing on attracting and retaining internal talent through a strong global talent attraction and acquisition strategy (e.g. Trainee Program, Internal Mobility), as well as a personalized succession and development strategy (e.g. Your Board Program and Learning Plan) | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 258| | | | | | | | | | • promoting growth opportunities for all employees in an engaging way, in line with a global development mindset. Employees have performance reviews and development conversations (a minimum of three per year) • investing in collaboration and internal mobility as a way of sharing knowledge and individual and organizational development. In this regard, EDP provides an internal marketplace with internal opportunities for all employees. • treating diversity, equity and inclusion as catalysts for innovation (e.g. Pride Internal Mobility, multicultural teams workshop) • promoting agility and efficiency by improving and digitizing processes to reduce decision- making time and using global people analysis tools to support decision-making and strategic planning. In this sense, a new Decision Model was approved to improve decision-making agility. S1-4_04 - Description of how effectiveness of actions and initiatives in delivering outcomes for own workforce is tracked and assessed At EDP, action planning is structured across three levels to ensure a comprehensive response to the Organizational Climate Survey results. At the corporate level, areas of expertise analyse global results to design long-term action plans focused on strategic themes like development opportunities, pay and benefits, and performance management. At the regional/platform level, action plans are tailored to address specific local needs and challenges. The team level is the most impactful, where managers analyse team results, debrief with their teams to gather insights, and co- create action plans to improve the team experience. All action plan owners use the Perceptyx platform to select a focus area (e.g., bottom 5 items, drivers of engagement, or significant declines), define two actions, and set three review dates. Progress is closely monitored through regular reports, which provide visibility into planned actions and ensure accountability by identifying teams or owners who have not yet uploaded their plans. This structured, data-driven approach fosters alignment with strategic goals while addressing the unique needs of employees at every organizational level. S1-4_05 - Description of process through which it identifies what action is needed and appropriate in response to particular actual or potential negative impact on own workforce EDP has employee listening procedures in different dimensions or phases of their experience, the main one being the Climate Study survey cycle, which allows for employee feedback to be gathered and acted upon. EDP also recognizes the importance of promoting equal access to opportunities, defining clear and transparent processes throughout the organization, and promoting a healthy working environment that fosters innovation. Recognizing some potential risks arising from market, macroeconomic, and social factors, EDP identifies the importance of pay equity or promoting a culture of well-being. To mitigate potential risks associated with pay equity, EDP develops some mechanisms such as: 1) the Gender Equality Plan and plans to mitigate the risk of pay disparity in more local contexts; 2) pay equity analysis routines; or 3) upskill training and capacity building for professionals in the People & Organization areas, such as the UN Target Gender Equality program. To promote a culture of well-being, EDP has a systemic approach to this issue, with a clear and transversally communicated strategy comprising five dimensions (physical, emotional, financial, social, and professional). For each dimension, risk and advantage factors are identified, either through continuous feedback from employees or through the Organizational Climate Study, designing and implementing initiatives such as the Mind Your Mind campaign, a global psychological support line, training for leaders, nutrition consultations, health insurance, a volunteer program, measures to support parenthood, financial advice, a platform of discounts and flexible benefits or measures of flexibility in the management of work and working hours. S1-4_06 - Description of what action is planned or underway to mitigate material risks arising from impacts and dependencies on own workforce and how effectiveness is tracked To address employee attraction and retention, EDP is strongly committed to upskilling and reskilling initiatives, aligned with EDP 2026 Business Plan. EDP tracks two key KPIs: i. employees receiving ESG training (70%) ii. qualification and requalification efforts critical to EDP future (45%). EDP promotes ESG awareness by integrating it into key learning programs and offering diverse learning methods. Partnering with external experts, EDP provides certifications that benefit both employees and the organization. Globally, EDP focuses on leadership, digital skills, innovation, and core business knowledge. EDP expands access to on-demand learning, recognizes informal learning, and collaborates with partners to address specific upskilling and reskilling needs. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 259| | | | | | | | | | Additionally, EDP recognizes that an ageing workforce presents both challenges and opportunities, making a strong development strategy even more essential. Beyond investing in upskilling and reskilling, EDP aligns its efforts with succession planning and the retention of critical knowledge. This approach ensures that both new talent and experienced professionals are empowered, facilitating an efficient transition of skills and strengthening business sustainability. Continuous qualification efforts enable employees to keep pace with technological and market transformations, reinforcing EDP’s long-term competitiveness. S1-4_07 - Description of what action is planned or underway to pursue material opportunities in relation to own workforce For EDP to be a truly future-proof organization, an ambitious People and Organisation (P&O) strategy has been defined to fulfil the following in the coming years: • provide its people with a human and meaningful experience through a global purpose and skills and concrete measures of well-being and flexibility • focus on attracting and retaining internal talent through a strong global strategy of employer branding and onboarding, as well as a customised succession and development strategy • foster growth opportunities for all employees in an engaging manner, in line with a global development mindset • invest in collaboration and internal mobilities as a way of sharing knowledge and individual and organisational development • treat diversity, equity and inclusion as catalysts for innovation • promote agility and efficiency through the improvement and digitalisation of processes to reduce decision-making time • use the global tools of people analytics as instruments to support decision-making and strategic planning. S1-4_08 \- Disclosure of whether and how it is ensured that own practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on own workforce In regards to data use, the EDP Group companies always prioritize in their relationship with their customers, employees, service providers, suppliers, partners and other interested parties, strict respect for their privacy. Further information in S1.MDR-P_01-06. S1-4_09 - Disclosure of resources are allocated to the management of material impacts EDP Group allocates dedicated resources to manage its material impacts effectively, ensuring a structured and transparent approach to the P&O strategy. EDP has specialized teams and governance structures, such as the DEIB Council and employee resource groups (ERGs), that focus on addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Additionally, the ESG team oversees the integration of sustainability across the organization. Financial resources are directed towards key programs, including upskilling and reskilling initiatives, ESG training, and diversity and inclusion projects. EDP also invests in monitoring systems to track progress against our targets and ensure accountability. These resources enable to address impacts proactively, driving meaningful change across the organization. These resources are also reflected in the annual budget allocation to health and well-being themes or programs, as well as to mechanisms that ensure the equity of internal processes. For example, a budget allocation to act and correct, if applicable, in situations that, through mobility and organizational restructuring, may generate or accentuate wage inequality on the basis of gender. S1-4_19 - Information about measures taken to mitigate negative impacts on workers that arise from transition to greener, climate-neutral economy At EDP, workforce development is a top priority, supported by a multidisciplinary approach that combines social interaction, practical experience, and comprehensive training. This strategy ensures employees are equipped to meet the challenges of the present and the future while supporting the transition to a greener and climate-neutral economy. EDP has a number of measures in place to help make the economy greener and more climate- neutral, including support for the purchase of a social commuting pass (an incentive to use public | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 260| | | | | | | | | | transport), bicycle parking at EDP's facilities, free charging of electric vehicles at EDP's facilities, among other measures. In addition, in terms of vehicles allocated to employees, the EDP Group has not allowed the purchase of combustion vehicles since 2023. As part of exits by agreement with the company, EDP offers its employees outplacement services to help them find other professional opportunities. EDP´s approach also emphasizes social interaction through digital communities that foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across the organization. Internal mobility opportunities enable employees to gain diverse experiences and expand their professional horizons. Additionally, EDP prioritizes training and development, offering programs that address both upskilling and reskilling needs. To reinforce this commitment, EDP has set ambitious targets for 2026, including ensuring that 70% of employees receive ESG-related training and 45% engage in upskilling and reskilling programs. EDP is also driving innovation through a comprehensive artificial intelligence strategy implemented across the group, ensuring that employees are prepared to leverage cutting-edge technologies effectively. These measures align with EDP's goal of becoming a future-proof company, equipping its workforce with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the transition to sustainable operations while addressing regulatory requirements and adapting to external developments. S1.MDR-T_01-13 \- Targets set to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to own workforce EDP Group is committed to advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), and professional development, with clear objectives for 2026. These include achieving 31% of women across the organization and in leadership roles (women in organizational leadership positions), 2% of employees with disabilities (% of people with disabilities, according to local legislation, under the total headcount), 42% of generation Y in management positions (% of millennial people in leadership positions in the organization) and 5% of employees who work outside their country of origin (% of people who work globally outside the country where they were born). In terms of training, EDP aspires that 45% of employees participate in improvement and requalification programs (e.g. reskilling skills; redirecting to other businesses - conventional energy to renewables) and that 70% receive ESG training (e.g. e-learning related to energy transition, sustainability), which reflects its dedication to a sustainable and inclusive future. All of these KPIs are measured annually, and some are part of the current Business Plan. EDP makes a quarterly status report and, in some cases, communicates its status internally and/or externally. The Climate Survey's Annual Accomplishment Scale is combined with the results of the Engagement and Empowerment dimensions, using two key factors: the 3-year trend (50%) - the comparison of current results with the group's performance over the last 3 years - and the external benchmark (50%). In terms of Occupational Health and Safety, EDP has this set of KPIs: | | | ---|---|---|--- Goals | KPI 2024 | Target 2024 | Target 2030 Fatal accidents (EDP employees and Service Providers)| 6 | 0 | 0 Frequency rate (EDP employees and Service Providers)| 1.72| 1.60 | <1.00 Frequency rate (EDP employees and Service Providers)| 580 | 215 | <150 Frequency rate as number of accidents at work in service with absence/fatalities, per million hours worked. Total severity rate as number of calendar days lost due to work accident per million hours worked, in the reference period. The setting-out of Occupational Health and Safety goals and the action programmes needed to achieve them is carried out in accordance with the internal procedure “Management Objectives and Programmes” of EDP Group’s CSMS. These objectives are defined at corporate level, approved by the Executive Board of Directors (EBD), and at the level of each Business Unit/Organizational Unit, approved by the respective Boards of Directors and in line with the corporate objectives. Health and safety at work is fundamental to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for the EDP Group's employees. In this context, setting clear objectives and targets is essential to direct efforts and monitor results. The occupational safety objectives are broad, reflect long-term results and are in line with international occupational safety standards. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 261| | | | | | | | | | The Safety at Work Actions Operating Plan sets forth the commitments and initiatives undertaken by the organisational units for implementation of the 6 strategic pillars defined at strategic and corporate level, in terms of Prevention and Safety approved for 2020/24. i. managerial commitment to OHS ii. behaviours, preventive activities and learning from mistakes iii. streamlining, digitising and standardising OHS processes in the EDP Group iv. skills v. communication and involvement vi. OHS management in contracts with ESPs. The implementation of EDP's annual occupational health and safety program was based on a series of actions aimed at preventing accidents at work. i. Reducing accidents • Eliminate fatal accidents and accidents with serious consequences • Significantly reduce the frequency rate and the total severity rate. ii. Promoting a culture of safety • Promote a safety culture where safety is a priority and part of our people's daily lives • Integrating safety as a fundamental value in the organization's operations and decisions. iii. Monitoring and continuous improvement • Carry out regular audits to identify risks and implement corrective actions • Monitor and disseminate results to reinforce transparency and commitment to safety. iv. Risk Management • Identifying, assessing and mitigating risks in highly complex operations and activities • Monitoring working conditions that may impact the health of our workers. v. Involvement of all levels • Involve our leaders in promoting safe practices • Ensuring that all workers are committed and aware of the risks to which they are exposed. vi. Compliance with legislation and standards • Ensure that operations are in line with local legislation and international standards • Maintain certifications in accordance with ISO 45001:2018. The implementation of these objectives is monitored quarterly by the Corporate Safety area and quarterly by the prevention and safety committees, which analyse the progress of the actions and propose, if necessary, the measures needed to achieve them. These priorities were established at EDP Group level, by considering recent results and trends in the main KPIs for Occupational Health and Safety including inputs from accident analyses and internal and external audits of safety management and works carried out for EDP. S1-5_01 - Disclosure of whether and how own workforce or workforce' representatives were engaged directly in setting targets At EDP, the process of setting targets is collaborative and involves input from various organizational bodies and employee groups. EDP Group engages directly with its workforce and their representatives through discussions with the Executive Board of Directors (EBD), focus groups, the DEIB Council, the People & Organization (P&O) community, and other relevant stakeholders. This inclusive approach ensures that the targets set reflect a diverse range of perspectives, aligning with both organizational goals and the needs and aspirations of employees. The definition of KPIs and their respective targets is defined by the organizational units with technical expertise in the respective KPI categories - FP&A, ESG, People & Organization, Ethics and Compliance, among others. This is a process of close collaboration between teams in order to guarantee a KPI model that meets the needs of all impacted parties. The consolidation of the annual KPIs, as well as the definition of the indicators for the following year, are communicated to employees in a clear and efficient manner, using EDP's internal communication channels. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 262| | | | | | | | | | The EDP Group actively involves the workforce and their representatives in identifying lessons and improvements through quarterly safety committee meetings where information is gathered with the objective of improving safety and operational conditions. Leaders and safety teams collaborate in addressing SIF risks, including electrical work and work at height, analysing incidents, and defining specific objectives and action plans to prevent incidents from occurring. Feedback from representatives is integrated into trend analysis, enabling continuous monitoring and the identification of opportunities for improvement. S1-5_02 - Disclosure of whether and how own workforce or workforce' representatives were engaged directly in tracking performance against targets EDP engages various groups of employees in tracking performance against targets through multiple structured and periodic touchpoints. Regular performance analyses are conducted to assess progress toward key targets, with employee groups contributing insights and feedback to guide improvements. These analyses ensure that employees are part of the process and contribute to a culture of shared responsibility for achieving results. In addition, performance updates are shared semi-annually through transparent public communications. This keeps the workforce informed and aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives while reinforcing accountability. Workforce representatives also participate in dedicated committees and governance bodies, where they contribute directly to discussions on tracking performance and aligning efforts with targets. The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Council plays a critical role by convening regularly to evaluate progress on DEIB initiatives and ensure alignment with broader organizational goals. Lastly, the Integrated Annual Report provides comprehensive updates on organizational performance, offering the workforce and their representatives visibility into key achievements and areas for improvement. This multi-faceted approach fosters transparency, accountability, and collective ownership of performance outcomes, ensuring active engagement from the workforce at various levels. S1-5_03 - Disclosure of whether and how own workforce or workforce' representatives were engaged directly in identifying lessons or improvements as result of undertakings performance The EDP Group, as set out in its Safety Policy and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) objectives, has a strategic goal of achieving zero accidents. For this reason, it is essential that during the incident investigation process the root causes and adequate preventive measures are identified to avoid future occurrences. Monitoring the effectiveness of the measures implemented, and disseminating the lessons learned to all BUs, thus promotes the sharing of solutions and best practice that contribute to an EDP Group-wide safety culture. It was in this context that a Safety Review Panel was set up under the coordination of the SSBC, to analyse the action plans drawn up by the BU. The Safety Review Panel is a consultative body for the entire EDP Group and is made up of internal (BU) and/or external experts with proven recognition in specific areas of risk/activity. This Safety Review Panel is independent of the BUs and reports the results of incident analysis to the EBD. EDP Group’s Safety policy recognises and establishes the principle that the ongoing investigation and analysis of incidents – accidents and near-misses or hazardous situations – systematically conducted are essential conditions for ongoing improvement in the prevention of occupational accidents and occupational diseases. Every incident is indicative of possible failures or imperfections in the organisation and/or execution of the work. The investigation of the incident consists of identifying them and establishing the facts to eliminate or neutralise them. The Safety Review Panel analysed 5 fatal accidents and 4 accidents with serious consequences. After analysing the action plans of the accidents, the experts suggested 47 extra actions to the respective plans, of which 22 have been implemented, 6 are in the process of being implemented, 11 are under analysis and 8 actions that the businesses do not consider applicable to their reality. EDP has several channels and formats for listening to employees. Examples of these channels are: • management of employment relationship information in a digital system (personal information, training, and professional experience) • assignment of a relationship partner, P&O Business Partner | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 263| | | | | | | | | | • possibility of joining structures representing workers and/or trade unions • anonymous and voluntary participation in the Organizational Climate Study • Speak Up, a channel for reporting and denouncing unethical situations. In particular, through the Organizational Climate Survey, action plans are designed and implemented at corporate, regional, and team levels, and team level, in which employees are encouraged to contribute by answering a survey. This survey assesses the favourability of employees to issues associated with categories such as Engagement & Empowerment, Well-being, Performance Management, Compensation & Benefits, Development Opportunities, or Collaboration, among others. The results of this survey inspire action plans aimed at improving the employee experience by improving internal processes. This tool has been a primary means of listening to employees globally. In order to keep employees informed of the measures taken, different internal channels are used, namely the Intranet, Newsletters, Global Communities and the respective P&O Business Partners and meetings dedicated to P&O topics. In relation to EDP's objectives (e.g., Gen Y in leadership positions), there is a page available on the Intranet and Website for employees and external. This type of KPI is monitored annually and statused quarterly by P&O. EDP will work on these KPIs through P&O mechanisms, such as development initiatives or succession plan pipeline (placing these indicators as influencers of EDP goals).

S1-6_13 - Description of methodologies and assumptions used to compile data (employees) The number of employees and its breakdown by key characteristics (e.g.: gender, age, professional category) is reported in headcount and refers to the end of December. The data is stored in the Human Resources Information System (HRIS), and EDP obtains the employees' data from this source. The total number includes the employees in all countries where EDP operates, but only for consolidated companies. S1-6_14 - Employees numbers are reported in head count or full-time equivalent Employees numbers are reported in head count. S1-6_15 - Employees numbers are reported at end of reporting period/average/ other methodology In terms of head count, employees numbers are reported at end of December.

S1-16_03 - Disclosure of contextual information necessary to understand data, how data has been compiled and other changes to underlying data that are to be considered To accurately assess the gender pay gap, an adjusted methodology was created to assess every situation in the group. This assessment considers key variables such as global job role (function), job grade, and seniority. By applying this comprehensive approach, it is possible to identify real pay differences between equivalent positions or jobs of equal value and take consistent action to address them. The gender pay gap is calculated as follows: (average annual fixed remuneration of male employees \- average annual fixed remuneration of female employees) / average annual fixed remuneration of male employees. The annual total remuneration ratio is calculated according: annual fixed remuneration for highest paid individual / averaged employee annual fixed remuneration (excluding the highest paid individual). Annual fixed remuneration is the of annual base salary and other fixed payments.

Widespread or systemic impacts - child labour and forced labour: • cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): there are significant risks of child labour and forced labour in the cobalt supply chain, which is critical for battery production • polysilicon production in China: concerns about forced labour, particularly in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where a substantial portion of the world's polysilicon is produced. Individual incidents: • EDP has not identified any recent individual incidents such as industrial accidents or oil spills that have had a material negative impact on value chain workers. However, we remain vigilant and committed to addressing any such incidents promptly should they occur. In addition, EDP makes it a priority to establish traceability requirements and clauses in the supply of modules. Traceability is a fundamental requirement when contracting a module supplier. On the other hand, in the case of batteries, EDP engages with suppliers to work on this matter and promote the development of industry traceability systems that allow the traceability of critical components. S2.SBM-3_06 - Description of activities that result in positive impacts and types of value chain workers that are positively affected or could be positively affected EDP is committed to fostering positive impacts through our operations and value chain activities. This includes initiatives that support job creation, upskilling, and overall improvement in working conditions for value chain workers. EDP’s activities to leverage positive impacts in value chain workers include: Updated purchasing practices • Sustainable procurement – EDP has implemented sustainable procurement practices that prioritize suppliers with strong ESG performance. This encourages suppliers to adopt better labour practices and environmental standards Capacity-building for supply chain workers • Training programs – EDP offers training programs for supply chain workers to enhance their skills and knowledge in areas such as health and safety, environmental management, and technical skills • ESG Supplier Roadmap – This initiative supports suppliers in developing best sustainability practices, providing them with visibility on their ESG performance and a clear path to align with EDP's strategic objectives Job creation and upskilling • Renewable energy projects – EDP's investment in renewable energy projects creates new job opportunities in construction, maintenance, and operation of renewable energy facilities • Innovation and technology – EDP promotes innovation and the adoption of new technologies, which can lead to the creation of high-skilled jobs and opportunities for upskilling existing workers S2.SBM-3_07 - Description of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on value chain workers EDP is committed to identifying and managing material risks and opportunities arising from our impacts and dependencies on value chain workers, according to SBM-3_02. Main material risks: • child labour in the value chain \- potential occurrences of child labour in high-risk regions can lead to severe reputational damage, legal liabilities, and disruptions in the supply chain • Human Rights due diligence \- ensuring thorough assessments and continuous monitoring to respect human rights throughout the value chain. Failure to do so can result in human rights violations and associated risks • corporate sustainability due diligence \- implementing comprehensive sustainability practices across the supply chain to mitigate risks related to environmental and social governance (ESG) issues • hiring process transparency \- maintaining transparent and fair hiring practices to avoid potential legal and reputational risks, ensuring that all workers are treated fairly and ethically. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 275| | | | | | | | | | Main material opportunities: • grievance mechanisms \- implementing effective grievance mechanisms allows workers to report issues and concerns, leading to improved working conditions and enhanced trust within the value chain. • reduced Dependence / supplier diversification \- reducing dependency on single suppliers by diversifying the supplier base enhances supply chain resilience and reduces risks associated with supply disruptions. S2.SBM-3_08 - Disclosure of whether and how the undertaking has developed an understanding of how workers with particular characteristics, those working in particular contexts, or those undertaking particular activities may be at greater risk of harm. EDP is committed to understanding and mitigating the risks faced by value chain workers with particular characteristics, those working in specific contexts, or those undertaking particular activities. Workers with particular characteristics - EDP recognizes that certain groups, such as women, children, and migrant workers, may be at greater risk of harm due to their socio-economic status and lack of legal protections. Additionally, workers with disabilities may face extra challenges and risks in the workplace, including discrimination and inadequate accommodations. Workers in particular contexts - EDP has identified regions with higher risks of labour rights violations. For more information see S2.SBM-3_04. Operations in conflict zones or politically unstable regions can expose workers to heightened risks of violence, exploitation, and unsafe working conditions. Workers undertaking particular activities \- workers involved in mining and extraction activities are at greater risk of occupational hazards, including accidents, exposure to harmful substances, and physical strain. Similarly, those in manufacturing roles may face risks related to repetitive tasks, machinery operation, and exposure to chemicals. EDP has developed this understanding through several key initiatives: • materiality assessments - regular assessments to identify and prioritize the most significant risks and impacts on value chain workers • stakeholder engagement - continuous dialogue with stakeholders, including workers, suppliers, NGOs, and industry experts, to gather insights and feedback on labour practices and risks • audits and inspections - conducting audits and inspections of suppliers and operations in high- risk areas to ensure compliance with labour standards and identify areas for improvement • training and capacity building - providing training for suppliers and workers on recognizing and mitigating risks, promoting safe and fair working conditions. S2.SBM-3_09 - Disclosure of which of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on value chain workers are impacts on specific groups EDP recognizes that certain groups, such as women, children, and migrant workers, may be at greater risk of harm due to their socio-economic status and lack of legal protections. Additionally, workers with disabilities may face extra challenges and risks in the workplace, including discrimination and inadequate accommodations. In high-risk regions workers are more susceptible to child labour, forced labour, and unsafe working conditions. Operations in conflict zones or politically unstable regions expose workers to heightened risks of violence, exploitation, and unsafe working conditions. Workers involved in mining and extraction activities are at greater risk of occupational hazards, including accidents, exposure to harmful substances, and physical strain. Similarly, those in manufacturing roles may face risks related to repetitive tasks, machinery operation, and exposure to chemicals. EDP also identifies several opportunities arising from our impacts and dependencies on specific groups of value chain workers. Enhancing support for vulnerable groups, such as women, children, and migrant workers, through targeted policies and programs can promote gender equality, child protection, and fair treatment. In high-risk regions, rigorous supplier audits and partnerships to improve labour practices can mitigate risks and support local initiatives that enhance worker protections. For workers in conflict zones, collaborating with international organizations can provide support and protection, ensuring their safety and well-being. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 276| | | | | | | | | | S2.MDR-P_01-06 - Policies to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to value chain workers EDP has a set of policies that enables to manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to value chain workers through comprehensive policies and practices. The following policies are designed to ensure fair treatment, safe working conditions, and respect for the rights of all workers within our value chain: i. Sustainable Procurement Policy - EDP's Sustainable Procurement Policy ensures that all suppliers adhere to high standards of labour practices and human rights. This policy includes criteria for evaluating suppliers based on their social and environmental performance, promoting responsible sourcing practices ii. Supplier Code of Conduct - EDP's Supplier Code of Conduct applies to all entities that supply or intend to supply goods and services to any of the EDP Group companies. This code requires suppliers to comply with national and international legislation, respect human rights, labour rights, and workplace safety, and promote ethical practices. Suppliers must also ensure that these standards are upheld throughout their own supply chains iii. Human ans Labour Rights Policy - EDP's Human Rights Policy is aligned with international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the ILO Conventions. This policy outlines our commitment to preventing human rights abuses, including child labour and forced labour, within our value chain iv. Health and Safety Policy - EDP prioritizes the health and safety of all workers in our value chain. Our Health and Safety Policy mandates strict adherence to safety standards and practices, regular training programs, and continuous monitoring to ensure a safe working environment v. Stakeholder Engagement Policy - EDP actively engages with value chain workers and other stakeholders to understand their needs and concerns. This policy facilitates regular consultations, surveys, and feedback mechanisms to ensure transparent communication and collaborative problem-solving. S2-1_01 \- Description of relevant human rights policy commitments relevant to value chain workers The frameworks underpinning both the Human Rights Policy and the related due diligence processes, as well as specific measures for the protection of human rights, are outlined below. EDP respects and aligns its operations and organizational structure with the definition of human rights as established in the International Bill of Human Rights, ensuring the identification of the universal human rights the company is committed to safeguarding. Furthermore, by adhering to the Eight Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work defined by the ILO, EDP commits to protecting workers throughout the value chain, respecting freedom of association, eliminating forced labour, abolishing child labour, and eradicating discrimination in employment. Additionally, EDP is committed to complying with the principles set forth by the United Nations, through both the UN Global Compact and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. EDP is committed to implementing the necessary measures to protect and respect human and labour rights and to remediate any negative impacts that may arise throughout the value chain. Finally, the company pledges to adopt the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, committing to carrying out a comprehensive due diligence process on human rights across its direct and indirect operations. This includes analysing, identifying, and assessing actual and potential impacts, implementing measures to prevent and mitigate such impacts, and conducting periodic reviews and communicating the due diligence processes it establishes.The Company is also committed to establish whistle-blowing and complaint channels and to engage with its supply chain to ensure that it has the same measures in place. These international standards are reflected in EDP's Human and Labour Rights Policy and its processes for managing and safeguarding human and labour rights across the value chain. In its Human and Labour Rights Policy EDP undertakes to: • identify, prevent and monitor potential human rights risks • recognize the rights of its stakeholders and engage with them to avoid any risk in this area • implement the necessary measures to avoid adverse impacts that may arise from its activity • establish a process for the collection of complaints and denunciations from stakeholders in this area. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 277| | | | | | | | | | The human rights commitments are in turn transposed to the suppliers’ screening and contract negotiation with suppliers, requiring EDP that they have the same aligned commitments as the company and the ones establish in the Human Rights Policy, and implement measures to mitigate any human and labour rights risks in their own supply chain. EDP works with its suppliers to ensure the implementation of risk mitigation measures regarding human and labour rights (policies, management systems, traceability capabilities, etc.). S2-1_02 - Disclosure of general approach in relation to respect for human rights relevant to value chain workers EDP is firmly committed to protect human and labour rights in its value chain and establish policies, measures and procedures that allow the company to monitor, prevent and mitigate any human and labour rights risks. These policies, codes and procedures allow EDP to engage with the different workers and stakeholders in the value chain: equipment suppliers, service providers and own workforce. Depending on the stage of the value chain (upstream, own operations or downstream) EDP applies different measures, engagement actions and due diligence processes to avoid human and labour rights abuses. S2-1_03 - Disclosure of general approach in relation to engagement with value chain workers EDP establishes different types of engagement with stakeholders in the value chain, depending on the stakeholder, their activity with EDP, the ESG strategic priorities and the risks associated with their activity and relationship with the company. For upstream processes, for suppliers of critical equipment, EDP starts its ESG engagement before contracting suppliers. Engagement prioritizes one or other issues according to the risks and opportunities of the supply and the supplier. Through questionnaires and direct meetings with suppliers, EDP conveys its ESG priorities and what it expects from the supplier in different areas, including human rights. Equipment traceability (until raw material) and supply chain management has become one critical issue for EDP when engages with types of suppliers that have exposure to mining activity (for example solar module suppliers). In addition, EDP establish periodic ESG engagement actions with suppliers after contracting and during monitoring phase, in order to collect evidences of contractual compliance and update critical ESG issues with suppliers. For service providers, EDP follows a similar engagement approach. The company engages and evaluates suppliers in relation to their ESG risks (e.g. health and safety risks) prior to contracting. Then, after the awarding phase, EDP continues its engagement process with service providers, through direct engagements and on-site inspections, by working with this type of supplier at the company's facilities. Finally, EDP carries out awareness actions with suppliers, holding public events under the EDPartners initiative in which various topics related to the relevance of suppliers for EDP's activity are discussed and in which ESG issues and supplier performance is a relevant topic. S2-1_04 - Disclosure of general approach in relation to measures to provide and (or) enable remedy for human rights impacts The company's greatest exposure to human and labour rights abuses comes from the company's supply chain, mainly during upstream processes. Internally, EDP has measures to protect the working conditions of its employees. In addition, EDP implements management systems on HSE and performs specific inspections of the service providers regarding health and safety conditions and performance. Regarding the supply chain and upstream value chain, EDP's procurement process is structured to identify any potential risks on human and labour rights that could emerge within the company's supply chain and upstream processes. In this context, the avoidance of human rights risks such as forced labour or child labour, along with other risks of labour practices or safety, is a primary focus when the company assesses a potential supplier. EDP's due diligence process reflects the identification, management and mitigation of potential human and labour rights risks and modern slavery and human trafficking situations in EDP's value chain. EDP's due diligence process begins with its main commitments regarding human and labour rights, through its policies and codes (EDP’s Human and Labour rights Policy, EDP Supplier code of Conduct and EDP Code of Ethics). Then an identification of ESG risks in the value chain is performed by the company. In the case of human and labour rights, EDP analyses the services offered by suppliers and other stakeholders in the value chain and identifies which risks associated with human and labour rights should be prioritized at any given time. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 278| | | | | | | | | | S2-1_05 \- Policies explicitly address trafficking in human beings, forced labour or compulsory labour and child labour EDP is firmly committed to prevent any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within its operations or throughout its value chain. To this end, it has established policies and procedures to identify these risks and take appropriate action to avoid, mitigate, and, if necessary, remediate them. When addressing human trafficking, forced labour and child labour, EDP establishes commitments , prior risk identification and materiality assessment. These are the following policies, codes and procedures that EDP has in place to manage human trafficking, forced labour and child labour in its value chain: • EDP Code of Ethics in establishing the commitments and action guidelines of EDP and its collaborators in protecting the human and labour rights of employees in the value chain and avoiding situations of human trafficking, forced labour and child labour • EDP Human and Labour Rights Policy establishing the company's overall commitment to protecting human and labour rights and extending the same commitment to its supply chain. The Policy includes EDP's commitment to establish a due diligence process to protect human rights, and to prevent and mitigate any potential situation of human trafficking, forced labour and child labour • EDP Supplier Code of Conduct when establishing the commitments to be taken into account by EDP suppliers and contractors and for which they must comply with national and international legislation, respect human rights, labour rights, and workplace safety, and promote ethical practices. Suppliers must also ensure that these standards are upheld throughout their own supply chains. S2-1_06 \- Undertaking has supplier code of conduct Yes, EDP has a Supplier Code of Conduct in place (under revision) that also applies to EDP's supply chain and outlines the procurement and contract negotiation processes with suppliers, in order to ensure that critical suppliers align with the company's ethical and sustainability commitments. Supplier’s alignment with EDP Supplier Code of Conduct is a requirement for critical contracts. EDP’s Supplier Code of Conduct promote the adaptation of sustainability policies and commitments in the supply chain. The main section of the Code´s commitments are the following ones: • Compliance Commitments • Ethical Commitments • Environmental Commitments • Labour Commitments • Workplace Safety and Health Commitments • Community and Human Rights commitments • Management commitments. S2-1_08 \- Disclosure of whether and how policies are aligned with relevant internationally recognised instruments EDP has a Human and Labour Rights Policy, which transposes the main commitments of the organization in this area. Through this Policy, EDP is committed to respect and implement the necessary measures to align with international standards (international standards and directives, treaties and conventions). The frameworks underpinning both the Human Rights Policy and the related due diligence processes, as well as specific measures for the protection of human rights, are outlined below. EDP respects and aligns its operations and organizational structure with the definition of human rights as established in the International Bill of Human Rights, ensuring the identification of the universal human rights the company is committed to safeguarding. Furthermore, by adhering to the Eight Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work defined by the ILO, EDP commits to protecting workers throughout the value chain, respecting freedom of association, eliminating forced labour, abolishing child labour, and eradicating discrimination in employment. Additionally, EDP is committed to complying with the principles set forth by the United Nations, through both the UN Global Compact and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. EDP is committed to implementing the necessary measures to protect and respect | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 279| | | | | | | | | | human and labour rights and to remediate any negative impacts that may arise throughout the value chain. Finally, the company pledges to adopt the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, committing to carrying out a comprehensive due diligence process on human rights across its direct and indirect operations. This includes analysing, identifying, and assessing actual and potential impacts, implementing measures to prevent and mitigate such impacts, and conducting periodic reviews and communicating the due diligence processes it establishes. The Company is also committed to establish whistle-blowing and complaint channels and to engage with its supply chain to ensure that it has the same measures in place. These international standards are reflected in EDP's Human and Labour Rights Policy and its processes for managing and safeguarding human and labour rights across the value chain. S2-1_09 \- Disclosure of extent and indication of nature of cases of non-respect of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work or OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises that involve value chain workers Through its due diligence processes (IDDs and ESG Due Diligence) EDP has not identified cases of human rights violations in the supply chain as established by these international standards. During the IDD process, possible controversies are analysed before contracting suppliers and the ESG due diligence complements the process by analysing the policies, systems and concrete measures that suppliers have in place in terms of human rights whenever there is a potential risk in this area. Following the ESG due diligence process, EDP establishes a series of ESG contractual clauses to mitigate potential risks during execution. Among these clauses is the traceability of the supply chain. For critical equipment in terms of human rights, such as modules, traceability is an essential element when contracting a supplier. S2-2_01 - Disclosure of whether and how perspectives of value chain workers inform decisions or activities aimed at managing actual and potential impacts EDP's due diligence process reflects the identification, management and mitigation of potential human and labour rights, modern slavery, and human trafficking situations in EDP's value chain. Prior to the Contracting phase, for those supplies and services whose activity may present human and labour rights risks, EDP performs an ESG Screening by analysing the supplier's performance and the measures it has in place to protect human and labour rights, not only in its own activities, but also throughout its own supply chain. Among the indicators analysed are the existence of human rights policies, supplier codes of conduct, supply chain audits, labour conditions or grievance mechanism, among others. In addition, for critical supplies in terms of human rights, such as modules, EDP analyses suppliers according to their traceability capabilities, which is a fundamental criteria when selecting the supplier. The supplier's human rights performance is a criteria to be analysed during the awarding phase. Depending on the supplier's ESG criticality and potential supply risks, the supplier's performance in the different ESG priorities of EDP is essential during the awarding phase. Furthermore, during the awarding phase, additional engagements are made to transfer strategic priorities and establish next steps to be implemented during contract execution and future agreements. S2-2_02 - Engagement occurs with value chain workers or their legitimate representatives directly, or with credible proxies EDP engages with the different stakeholders in its value chain. For equipment suppliers, EDP engages with the tier 1 supplier, analysing that it has the necessary measures to protect the rights of workers in the supply chain. For its own workforce, EDP has all the necessary mechanisms in place to protect its employees and their rights. Finally, for service providers, the Company carries out an engagement prior to contracting in order to know if the company has the necessary measures to develop its activity (qualification). In addition, for the most critical service providers, EDP performs an IDD to analyse any integrity risk or controversy. EDP has close contact as they are working in its facilities. In addition, all EDP's stakeholders and interested parties have the company's speak up channel to report any type of situation that deviates from the company's ethical standards. S2-2_03 - Disclosure of stage at which engagement occurs, type of engagement and frequency of engagement During the different phases of the procurement process, EDP engages with critical suppliers on ESG issues. The objective is to know the supplier's capacity to manage certain risks. EDP's engagements could be linked to the different phases of the company's due diligence: • registration and qualification - first engagement with the supplier to analyse its ESG corporate performance, according to the potential risks associated with its activity | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 280| | | | | | | | | | • requests for proposals - during the specific RFPs EDP makes an additional engagement with the supplier to resolve any doubts or questions and to know the specific measures applicable to the project to be developed by EDP with the supplier and to gather additional information for the award phase • supplier contracting and awarding - during the awarding phase the ESG inputs with the supplier's performance are taken into account during the decision. In addition, during the contracting and agreement signing phase EDP makes additional engagements with the supplier to negotiate the contractual clauses that will be executed during the next phase • monitoring and evaluation phase - additional engagement to request evidence that has been negotiated during the contract and to share points of improvement and new developments on both sides (e.g. improvements in due diligence or traceability processes). The engagements performed by EDP depend on the type of supplier. For equipment suppliers, as they are the most exposed to possible human rights violations, a continuous engagement with suppliers is established, at least whenever the supplier applies to provide services to EDP. If the supplier continues to advance through the different phases, there are additional engagements, as mentioned above. S2-2_04 - Disclosure of function and most senior role within undertaking that has operational responsibility for ensuring that engagement happens and that results inform undertakings approach The EDP Purchasing Director and the ESG Director would be the most responsible for ESG engagement with suppliers. Depending on the type of purchase, there are specialized technical teams in EDP that coordinate the ESG engagement and priorities to work with the supplier. S2-2_05 - Disclosure of Global Framework Agreement or other agreements related to respect of human rights of workers Currently, EDP does not have a Global Framework Agreement or other specific agreements related to the respect of human rights of workers. However, EDP is committed to upholding human and labour rights through its comprehensive Human and Labour Rights Policy. This policy aligns with international standards, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the International Labour Organization convention. S2-2_06 - Disclosure of how effectiveness of engagement with value chain workers is assessed During the monitoring and evaluation phase of EDP's due diligence process, the company executes contractual clauses if necessary. During this phase, after the awarding, EDP requests evidence of traceability and ESG, making effective the engagement process that it carries out from the initial supplier qualification phase. S2-2_07 - Disclosure of steps taken to gain insight into perspectives of value chain workers that may be particularly vulnerable to impacts and (or) marginalised EDP uses the Materiality process to identify relevant issues, main risks, and opportunities for value chain workers. In this process, external sources are consulted, which in 2024 included a direct questionnaire addressed to critical suppliers for the group. Additionally, it also included the use of internal sources, with interviews conducted with internal experts with specific expertise on the subject. Furthermore, EDP's whistleblowing and complaints channel - Speak Up Channel - is also an important source of information on key critical issues raised by value chain workers. S2-3_01 - Disclosure of general approach to and processes for providing or contributing to remedy where undertaking has identified that it connected with a material negative impact on value chain workers To address and remedy any identified material negative impacts on value chain workers, EDP has established a robust monitoring and compliance framework for its suppliers. This framework includes both passive and active mechanisms to ensure adherence to contractual obligations. • Passive mechanisms - suppliers are required to report any incidents, violations, or circumstances that could negatively impact the agreement. • Active mechanisms - EDP conducts contractual performance evaluations, audits (both on-site and remote), and inspections. Additionally, EDP implements management systems that are certified by the company and supervised by verified external certification bodies (third parties). When action plans are necessary, EDP monitors and supports their implementation to ensure continuous improvement and positive impact across the value chain. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 281| | | | | | | | | | S2-3_02 - Disclosure of specific channels in place for value chain workers to raise concerns or needs directly with undertaking and have them addressed EDP adopts a common and global approach to ensure the respect of human and labour rights along its value chain by implementing policies, processes, and measures to protect these rights. To adequately implement the Human and Labour Rights Policy, based on the international frameworks defined by the United Nations and the International Labour Organization, EDP has a set of tools in place. One of the main instruments in place is the Speak Up Channel, which is publicly available and allows any stakeholder group, including value chain workers, to raise concerns or needs directly with the company. This channel ensures that all workers in the value chain have a safe and confidential means to communicate any issues, which are then addressed appropriately and in accordance with international human and labour rights principles. In 2024 , no claims regarding Human Rights were received through this channel. S2-3_03 - Disclosure of processes through which undertaking supports or requires availability of channels The EDP ensures the availability and proper disclosure of its Speak Up Channel through multiple processes and platforms, demonstrating its commitment to transparency, ethics, and compliance: • global coverage and accessibility - the Speak Up Channel is accessible to all stakeholders of EDP Group companies, including employees, suppliers, customers, and other interested parties. Reports can address breaches of the Code of Ethics, legislative provisions, and internal policies or regulations. • multiple communication channels - the Speak Up Channel is actively publicized across different formats, including: • the EDP corporate website and websites of other entities within the group, where the respective channels are clearly disclosed • internal documents and regulations, ensuring all stakeholders are informed of the process and their rights • company policies and ethics guidelines, emphasizing EDP's zero-tolerance for ethical violations. Furthermore, EDP includes in its contractual clauses with suppliers a requirement to comply with the EDP Code of Ethics, which explicitly references the Speak Up Channel as the designated platform for submitting complaints and concerns. This clause mandates that suppliers must ensure the dissemination of information about the Speak Up Channel to all their workers. EDP implements a robust procedure that ensures the visibility of its Speak Up Channel while safeguarding whistleblowers through anonymity, confidentiality, and protection against retaliation for those acting in good faith. By adopting clear and effective processes to handle complaints, EDP Group companies reinforce their commitment to accessible communication channels, fostering a culture of ethical integrity, transparency, and trust across all operations and geographies. As an improvement point, to better control the awareness of the Speak Up Channel among all workers in the supply chain, EDP is working on an enhancement action that aims to include a question during inspections about whether the workers are aware of the available channels for reporting complaints and concerns they may have. S2-3_04 - Disclosure of how issues raised and addressed are tracked and monitored and how effectiveness of channels is ensured Issues raised through the Speak Up Channel at EDP are meticulously tracked and monitored through a structured process to ensure their effective resolution and the overall effectiveness of the communication channels. Upon receipt of a complaint, an initial screening is performed to determine if the complaint is well- founded or unfounded. Unfounded complaints are closed, and the whistleblower is informed. Well- founded complaints proceed to an investigation phase, involving rigorous, independent, and objective analysis to determine the credibility and circumstances of the complaint. For urgent and serious issues, immediate measures are taken to protect the interests of EDP and its stakeholders. The Ethics Committee reviews the investigation results and issues a decision on the complaint. The management body of the relevant company then takes appropriate actions based on this decision. The Ethics and Compliance Officer (ECO) regularly reports on complaint-related activities to the competent bodies. The ECO, in coordination with the Legal & Governance Department, reviews the regulation every two years or when significant legal changes occur, submitting proposed changes for approval to EDP's Executive Board of Directors. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 282| | | | | | | | | | Additionally, the whistleblowing management process is detailed in the Whistleblowing Management Regulation, which underwent an external audit in 2023. This audit was conducted to ensure that the processes and protocols in place adhere to the highest standards and effectively protect the rights and confidentiality of whistleblowers, fostering a secure and reliable environment for raising concerns and complaints. S2-3_05 - Disclosure of whether and how it is assessed that value chain workers are aware of and trust structures or processes as way to raise their concerns or needs and have them addressed EDP places a high priority on ensuring that all stakeholders, including value chain workers, are aware of and trust the structures and processes in place for raising concerns or needs. This commitment is embedded in the company's Code of Ethics and Integrity Policy. To foster awareness and trust, EDP actively disseminates information about its whistleblowing channels through various interactions with suppliers and other stakeholders. This proactive communication ensures that value chain workers are informed about the channels available for reporting any unethical or unlawful conduct. The Speak Up Channels, part of EDP's whistleblowing management process, are designed to be accessible and reliable, allowing stakeholders to report concerns confidentially and, if desired, anonymously. Each report undergoes a thorough investigation, ensuring it is handled with seriousness and integrity. EDP has not received any indications of a lack of trust from value chain workers regarding the current process. This suggests that the existing structures and processes are effective and trusted by those they are designed to protect. EDP's commitment to maintaining and enhancing these channels is evident in its continuous efforts to comply with evolving regulations and update its whistleblowing management process accordingly. As an improvement point, to better control the awareness of the Speak Up Channel among all workers in the supply chain, EDP is working on an enhancement action that aims to include a question during inspections about whether the workers are aware of the available channels for reporting complaints and concerns they may have. S2-3_06 - Policies regarding protection against retaliation for individuals that use channels to raise concerns or needs are in place EDP has established comprehensive policies to protect individuals who use the company's channels to raise concerns or report unethical or illicit conduct. These policies are designed to ensure that whistleblowers can report issues safely and without fear of retaliation. According to the Whistleblowing Management Regulation, the EDP Group strictly prohibits any form of retaliation against whistleblowers. This includes actions such as dismissal, threats, suspension, repression, harassment, withholding or suspending payment of salaries or benefits, demotion, transfer, or any other disciplinary or retaliatory actions that could cause pecuniary or non-pecuniary damage to the whistleblower. This protection is extended for a period of two years following the report, provided the report was made in good faith and on serious grounds, in accordance with applicable law. The prohibition of retaliation also extends to anyone assisting the whistleblower in the complaint’s procedure, including trade union representatives or workers' representatives, any third party connected with the whistleblower who could be subject to retaliation in a professional context, and legal persons or similar entities owned or controlled by the whistleblower, for whom the whistleblower works or to whom the whistleblower is professionally connected. The regulation emphasizes the importance of confidentiality and data protection.

S2.MDR-A_01-12 - Action plans and resources to manage its material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to value chain workers EDP's procurement process includes a comprehensive analysis of potential risks and material negative impacts across the entire supply chain, from those occurring in upstream manufacturing processes to those occurring within the company's own operations and facilities. To address these risks and material negative impacts, procurement teams implement measures to mitigate technical, operational, and ESG risks at various stages of the procurement and due diligence process. This process is designed to prevent and mitigate supply chain risks related to: • equipment inefficiencies due to poor manufacturing or maintenance | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 283| | | | | | | | | | • supply disruptions caused by interruptions in the supply chain • ethical and compliance risks involving company partners • human rights violations, including forced labour, child labour, unsafe working conditions, and other poor labour practices • environmental risks resulting from unsustainable supply chain practices or lack of preparedness • other ESG and operational risks. The risk management framework is grounded in EDP’s Sustainable Procurement Protocol, with a focus on critical suppliers—those with the highest potential impact and risk. For these suppliers, engagement and additional mitigation measures are prioritized. Through criticality analysis, EDP identifies and segments the risks associated with different types of specifications. This analysis is conducted using a Sustainability Matrix outlined in EDP’s Sustainability Protocol, which combines sector-specific risks identified through stakeholder consultation with the characteristics of each specification. Based on this internal process, the analysis considers a range of criteria, including financial stability, business relevance and continuity, dependency and autonomy, data access, facilities, customer and community impact, cybersecurity, emissions potential, waste management, environmental incidents, workplace safety, integrity and compliance, and human and labour rights. Once the risks associated with each type of purchase have been identified, non-negotiable clauses are incorporated into the specifications, establishing the minimum qualification standards suppliers must meet, along with the rules for monitoring contract execution. Suppliers are only eligible to enter the negotiation phase after undergoing comprehensive ESG due diligence. This process evaluates their integrity, legal and ethical compliance, financial stability, technical capability, and social and environmental practices. By applying strict go/no-go criteria in supplier selection and including contractual clauses for monitoring, audits, and performance assessments, EDP ensures it engages with low-risk suppliers whose competencies align with the specific risks inherent in each activity. S2-4_01 - Description of action planned or underway to prevent, mitigate or remediate material negative impacts on value chain workers EDP's procurement process includes a comprehensive analysis of potential risks and material negative impacts across the entire supply chain, from those occurring in upstream manufacturing processes to those occurring within the company's own operations and facilities.

By applying strict go/no-go criteria in supplier selection and including contractual clauses for monitoring, audits, and performance assessments, EDP ensures it engages with low-risk suppliers whose competencies align with the specific risks inherent in each activity. S2-4_04 - Description of how effectiveness of actions or initiatives in delivering outcomes for value chain workers is tracked and assessed The effectiveness of actions or initiatives in delivering outcomes for value chain workers is tracked and assessed through a comprehensive scoring and rating system that evaluates suppliers' climate and social performance at different stages of interaction. This system includes three key stages: Registration and Qualification, Requests for Proposals and Contracting, and Monitoring and Evaluation. During the Registration and Qualification stage, EDP analyses potential suppliers applying for tenders. Suppliers are evaluated based on their climate and social performance, including emissions reporting, climate commitments, decarbonization targets, product environmental information, water consumption, gender diversity, inclusion, human rights, and safety. A score and rating are established for each supplier, which serves as an additional input during the award phase. This rating is shared with suppliers to involve and align them with EDP's ESG strategy, allowing the definition of initiatives that contribute to the improvement of their sustainability practices. In the Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Contracting stage, EDP engages with suppliers to convey its strategic ESG priorities, including decarbonization and human rights. Supplier engagement is prioritized even before the award process, ensuring that suppliers understand and commit to EDP's five strategic priorities: Decarbonization, Human and Labour Rights, Biodiversity, Circular Economy, and Health and Safety. During the Monitoring and Evaluation stage, EDP continuously tracks and assesses the effectiveness of suppliers' actions through ongoing monitoring and periodic reassessments. This process combines third-party assessments and supplier-submitted information, enabling EDP to identify areas for improvement and implement specific initiatives to align suppliers with its ESG strategic priorities. For suppliers with gaps in any of EDP's ESG priorities, engagement exercises such as one-on-one meetings, events, and workshops are conducted to help suppliers develop necessary measures during the contract execution phase. To ensure continuous improvement and alignment with EDP's sustainability goals, the Qualification System criteria are regularly reviewed and updated. This iterative process ensures that suppliers consistently meet performance expectations, effectively addressing potential risks while driving progress in sustainability and ESG compliance across the value chain. EDP also tracks the outcomes of these actions and initiatives to assess whether the intended objectives have been achieved. This includes evaluating the impact of implemented measures on improving supplier performance, enhancing worker well-being, and achieving strategic ESG goals. By systematically monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of these actions, EDP ensures that value chain workers directly benefit from these initiatives, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient supply chain. S2-4_05 - Description of processes to identifying what action is needed and appropriate in response to particular actual or potential material negative impact on value chain workers EDP’s procurement process includes an analysis of potential risks that may occur throughout the supply chain, from risks in upstream processes in the manufacture of equipment to those in the company’s own operations and facilities. Procurement teams implement measures to mitigate technical, operational, or ESG risks at different stages. EDP has established requirements that must be met by its suppliers throughout the main procurement phases to address actual or potential material negative impacts on value chain workers: • registration and qualification - EDP’s qualification process analyses critical issues and establishes minimum requirements to ensure suppliers meet standards in technical capabilities, quality management, financial stability, compliance, integrity, health and safety, and environmental management. This risk assessment combines third-party results and supplier- submitted information. EDP regularly reviews and updates the Qualification System criteria to reflect market trends and regulations. During this process, EDP shares relevant information, such as the EDP Code of Ethics, Integrity Policy, and Supplier Code of Conduct, ensuring suppliers understand and comply with these standards. • requests for proposals and contracting - EDP incorporates comprehensive ESG criteria in its contracting processes to manage and mitigate operational and ESG risks. Suppliers are evaluated on five ESG priorities: decarbonization, circular economy, human and labour rights, health and safety, and transparency and biodiversity. EDP reviews suppliers' policies, targets, | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 285| | | | | | | | | | strategies, and other documents to ensure alignment with its ESG positioning. High-risk situations require approval from the Management Team and the Executive Board, with additional compliance clauses related to corruption, conflict of interest, and sanctions lists. ESG criteria function as go/no-go filters, with specific conditions tailored to contract types based on identified risks. EDP engages in meetings with strategic suppliers during contracting and awarding phases to discuss technical and sustainability criteria, ensuring alignment for successful project execution. Additionally, EDP has a Third-Party Integrity Due Diligence Procedure to reinforce risk identification and prevent potential integrity or corruption risks. • monitoring and evaluation of suppliers - EDP ensures supplier compliance through passive and active mechanisms. Passive mechanisms involve suppliers reporting incidents or violations. Active mechanisms include performance evaluations, audits, inspections, and certified management systems. EDP monitors and supports action plans to ensure continuous improvement and positive impact throughout the value chain. These action plans are developed collaboratively with suppliers to address identified issues, set corrective measures, establish deadlines and goals, and provide ongoing support and evaluation. S2-4_06 - Description of approach to taking action in relation to specific material negative impacts on value chain workers Once the risks associated with each type of purchase have been identified, non-negotiable clauses are incorporated into the specifications, establishing the minimum qualification standards suppliers must meet, along with the rules for monitoring contract execution. Suppliers are only eligible to enter the negotiation phase after undergoing comprehensive ESG due diligence. This process evaluates their integrity, legal and ethical compliance, financial stability, technical capability, and social and environmental practices. By applying strict go/no-go criteria in supplier selection and including contractual clauses for monitoring, audits, and performance assessments, EDP ensures it engages with low-risk suppliers whose competencies align with the specific risks inherent in each activity. EDP collaborates with its suppliers to define and implement action plans aimed at continuous improvement and positive impact across the value chain. Based on performance evaluations, audits, and inspections, these plans include identifying areas for improvement, defining corrective measures, setting deadlines and goals, monitoring and providing continuous support, and evaluating progress. To address specific material negative impacts on value chain workers, EDP's action plans focus on reducing operational and ESG risks, improving sustainability practices, and aligning suppliers with EDP's values. This includes ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, enhancing labour rights, and promoting ethical practices. By maintaining a rigorous monitoring and support system, EDP ensures that suppliers meet contractual requirements and contribute to social responsibility, thereby mitigating negative impacts on workers throughout the value chain. In addition to these efforts, EDP is committed to enhancing its capabilities and fostering dialogue with entities in the value chain, as well as collaborating with industry peers and other relevant parties. To achieve this, EDP actively participates in working groups and organizations such as Wind Power, Solar Power Europe, Eurelectric, and SEIA. These collaborations are essential for developing a unified strategy to address significant adverse effects on workers within the value chain in the electric sector. This enables EDP to share knowledge, develop best practices, and advance towards common sustainability and innovation goals. S2-4_07 - Description of approach to ensuring that processes to provide or enable remedy in event of material negative impacts on value chain workers are available and effective in their implementation and outcomes EDP’s procurement process analyses potential risks throughout the supply chain, from equipment manufacturing to company operations. Measures are implemented to mitigate technical, operational, or ESG risks. Registration and qualification - EDP sets minimum requirements for suppliers in technical capabilities, quality management, financial stability, compliance, integrity, health and safety, and environmental management. This process combines third-party results and supplier information. Relevant documents, such as the EDP Code of Ethics, are accessible through EDP’s online portal. Requests for proposals and contracting - EDP includes ESG criteria in contracting to manage risks. Suppliers are evaluated on decarbonization, circular economy, human and labour rights, health and safety, and transparency and biodiversity. High-risk situations require approval from management, with compliance clauses for corruption and conflicts of interest. EDP engages with strategic suppliers to ensure alignment on technical and sustainability criteria. Monitoring and evaluation of suppliers - EDP ensures compliance through passive (incident reporting) and active (audits, inspections) mechanisms. Action plans are developed with suppliers for continuous improvement. Effectiveness is verified through regular audits and feedback collection. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 286| | | | | | | | | | S2-4_08 - Description of what action is planned or underway to mitigate material risks arising from impacts and dependencies on value chain workers and how effectiveness is tracked EDP has implemented several actions to mitigate material risks arising from dependencies on value chain workers. These actions ensure the well-being of workers and align with EDP's ESG strategic priorities. Supplier engagement - EDP engages with suppliers early in the procurement process to communicate its ESG priorities, including decarbonization, human rights, biodiversity, circular economy, and health and safety. This engagement ensures that suppliers understand and commit to these priorities, addressing dependencies on value chain workers. Pre-qualification and qualification - potential suppliers undergo a thorough evaluation based on their climate and social performance. This includes assessments of emissions reporting, climate commitments, human rights practices, and more. Suppliers receive scores and ratings that influence the awarding process and help identify areas for improvement, mitigating risks related to dependencies on value chain workers. Addressing gaps - for suppliers with identified gaps in ESG priorities, EDP conducts targeted engagement activities, such as one-on-one meetings, workshops, and events. These activities aim to help suppliers develop and implement necessary measures during the contract execution phase, ensuring that dependencies on value chain workers are managed effectively. Continuous improvement - EDP regularly reviews and updates its Qualification System criteria, incorporating third-party assessments and supplier-submitted information. This ensures that suppliers continuously meet performance expectations and improve their sustainability practices, addressing dependencies on value chain workers. S2-4_10 - Disclosure of whether and how it is ensured that own practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on value chain workers EDP adopts a structured approach to ensure that its practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on value chain workers, emphasizing both sustainability and compliance with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) priorities. This approach includes several key steps to mitigate risks and promote effective outcomes. Key measures involve introducing specific contractual clauses tailored to the ESG risk of each supply (e.g., equipment or service). These clauses are designed to align suppliers with EDP's standards and expectations. EDP ensures compliance through active monitoring mechanisms, such as audits, inspections, and performance evaluations, carried out directly or by third parties. Additionally, specific action plans are established for each supplier to identify areas for improvement and enhance ESG performance. Progress is monitored closely to ensure that corrective actions are effectively implemented, and suppliers advance toward sustainable practices. EDP also maintains an ongoing engagement process with key suppliers through dialogues and consultations. This structured process promotes alignment with ESG priorities while addressing critical issues like supply chain traceability, ensuring transparency from equipment origin to the final product. S2-4_11 \- Disclosure of severe human rights issues and incidents connected to upstream and downstream value chain EDP did not have any recorded severe human rights incidents during the reporting year. S2-4_12 \- Disclosure of resources allocated to management of material impacts The company has a comprehensive approach and multiple resources allocated to managing material impacts. At the highest level, human rights governance follows the sustainability governance. The General and Supervisory Board of Directors is the body ultimately responsible for overseeing human and labour rights, through its Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which has the highest responsibility to oversee all Sustainability aspects. At the executive level, the Executive Board of Directors is supported by a sustainability team that coordinates and consolidates and monitors performance and initiatives carried out by all the operational departments involved. Among the teams involved in the process are ethics, compliance, procurement, health and safety, environment and people management. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 287| | | | | | | | | | S2.MDR-T_01-13 - Targets set to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to value chain workers For EDP, it is a priority to engage with its supply chain and, in particular, with strategic suppliers. Firstly, because of the important contribution they make as main partners in achieving the Company's business objectives; and on the other hand, to avoid, manage and mitigate any ESG risk situation that may arise in the supply chain. The Company has set several targets to manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to value chain workers. Here are the key targets and initiatives: • zero fatal accidents - EDP aims to achieve zero fatal accidents for workers and suppliers by 2025\. This target underscores the company's commitment to safety and the well-being of its workforce and partners • supplier engagement - by 2026, EDP aims to ensure that 100% of suppliers are compliant with ESG Due Diligence, and that 90% of its purchasing volume is aligned with the company's ESG goals. From 2022, the Company has launched this engagement process with strategic suppliers in sustainability matters. To this end, during the qualification phase, the Company shares its ESG priorities with suppliers in order to assess their performance, analyse their contribution to the EDP Group's goals and identify potential risks. This information analysis process is complemented by specific ESG and traceability meetings, in which both parties share their strategic priorities, commitments and targets regarding transparency, supply chain management and goal alignment: 1) Decarbonization; 2) Human and Labour Rights; 3) Circular Economy; 4) Health and Safety; and 5) Biodiversity • Human Rights compliance - EDP recognizes the importance of compliance with human rights standards as stated in the Company’s Code of Ethics. EDP verifies compliance with international and national standards, acting by the principle of the most complete standard, subscribing to the conventions of the United Nations and the International Labour Organization, and implementing these criteria in the selection of counterparties and in contractual relations. Ensure compliance with the commitments assumed in EDP’s “Human and Labour Rights Policy”, maintaining a Human and Labour Rights Monitoring Programme to identify risks and to act in order to avoid, minimise or repair any negative impacts arising from the Company’s business and activities. EDP systematically scrutinises any evidence of human rights violations that may be related to any counterparty through a due diligence process on legal compliance, integrity, human and labour rights to counterparties with deals above €25k. This process covers 99% of the purchasing volume and results in the exclusion of those who do not guarantee compliance with national and international standards. S2-5_01 - Disclosure of whether and how value chain workers , their legitimate representatives or credible proxies were engaged directly in setting targets EDP engages value chain workers, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies in setting targets through various initiatives and structured processes. Here are some key points: • EDPartners talks \- EDP organizes EDPartners Talks, which are informational sessions with a selection of its suppliers. These sessions aim to address joint relationship topics and gain a deeper understanding of the suppliers' perspectives on the EDP Group. The feedback received during these sessions is used to identify opportunities to improve the relationship and implement action plans that contribute to better experiences and business results for both parties • stakeholder engagement \- EDP values the involvement of stakeholders and maintains an open and transparent dialogue with them. This engagement helps the company anticipate challenges, minimize business risks, and create new relationship opportunities. The Materiality procedure is used to identify and prioritize non-financial issues relevant to stakeholders and the company's business strategy. • Stakeholder Relationship Policy \- EDP has a Stakeholder Relationship Policy that emphasizes building trust with stakeholders. The policy outlines commitments to strengthen relationships and ensure effective and genuine involvement of stakeholders in governance models. This approach is seen as a competitive lever with a positive impact on EDP's performance S2-5_02 - Disclosure of whether and how value chain workers , their legitimate representatives or credible proxies were engaged directly in tracking performance against targets EDP engages value chain workers, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies in tracking performance against targets through several structured processes and initiatives including: Supplier Engagement: During the qualification phase, the Company shares its ESG priorities with suppliers in order to assess their performance, analyse their contribution to the EDP Group's goals and identify potential risks. This information analysis process is complemented by specific ESG and traceability goal reviews and potential follow up meetings, particularly with critical suppliers, in which both parties share their strategic priorities, commitments and targets regarding transparency, supply chain management and goal alignment: 1) Decarbonization; 2) Human and Labour Rights; 3) Circular Economy; 4) Health and Safety; and 5) Biodiversity. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 288| | | | | | | | | | ESG Assessments and Performance Evaluation: EDP conducts ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) assessments of its suppliers, particularly those identified as critical. The assessment model is based on four criteria: Execution, Prevention and Safety, Environmental Management, and Ethics, Human and Labour Rights. These assessments help partner suppliers identify areas for improvement to achieve operational excellence. The performance evaluation process involves regular engagement with suppliers to track progress and ensure compliance with ESG standards. These reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis through various third party platforms including ISNet and GOSupply, as well as through an annual review process for critical suppliers (SPET Tool – Supplier Performance Evaluation Tool). Capacity Building Programs: EDP supports capacity building programs for its suppliers. In 2024, several critical suppliers participated in these programs, which aim to enhance their capabilities and ensure compliance with ESG standards. These programs involve regular monitoring and engagement with suppliers to track their performance against set targets and/or to b. Certain suppliers may also have conditional contractor plans in place, in which the supplier must implement initiatives to improve their overall performance and identify corrective actions for any incidences to improve safety culture. S2-5_03 - Disclosure of whether and how value chain workers , their legitimate representatives or credible proxies were engaged directly in identifying lessons or improvements as result of undertaking’s performance ESG Assessments and Performance Evaluation - EDP conducts ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) assessments of its suppliers, particularly those identified as critical. The assessment model is based on four criteria: Execution, Prevention and Safety, Environmental Management, and Ethics, Human and Labour Rights. These assessments help partner suppliers identify areas for improvement to achieve operational excellence. The performance evaluation process involves regular engagement with suppliers to track progress and ensure compliance with ESG standards. These reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis through various third party platforms including ISNet and GOSupply, as well as through an annual review process for critical suppliers (SPET Tool – Supplier Performance Evaluation Tool). Additionally, This process includes establishing corrective and improvement action plans based on third party audit results (manufacturing audits, factory audits for materials, ESG data audits, etc.). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 289| | | | | | | | | | ESRS S3 Affected communities S3.SBM-3_01 - All affected communities who can be materially impacted by undertaking are included in scope of disclosure under ESRS 2 All projects require a Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Due Diligence or at least assessment on impacts expected - and from those, the project owners develop their action plans. These identify the communities affected (including indigenous communities; living and working around the operation site) , their location and the impact expected from operation, and require the analysis of risks and correspondent stakeholder engagement plan. The supply chain is included through Procurement at all EDP policies and procedures. At Generation Iberia, an engagement plan is designed, defining internal and external vision, the plan for engagement and the follow up intended. The 52 hydroelectric power plants and the 3 thermal power plants had their impacted communities covered by intensive assessment: relevant topics were identified; stakeholders were mapped and evaluated and the actions needed were drawn, supported by an external assessment of direct hearings on various topics: renewable energies; decarbonization; natural capital and relationship with EDP. The hearing included official entities, municipalities, NGOs and University. Risks, opportunities and commitments were defined and analysed, merging into an action plan focusing on strategy, development and proximity. Indicators for impact evaluation and satisfaction ratings were defined and then implemented by the local teams. S3.SBM-3_02 - Description of types of affected communities subject to material impacts / S3.SBM-3_03 - Type of communities subject to material impacts by own operations or through value chain The ESIAs and Due Diligences required, help EDP map all sites and facilities; the value-chain landscape and impact, and whether they are Indigenous Communities or not.Communities around EDP's operating sites are always included, mapping their population; local powers, landowners; NGOs and other relevant stakeholders that need to be assessed.In Spain, the Transitioning sites requested thorough assessments on typologies of communities, mapping the local stakeholders and the impacts expected, and addressing them in action plans. North America, Vietnam or South Korea also have examples of communities impacted by operation, that were previously assessed, in order for stakeholders to be thoroughly mapped and their specificities addressed, as did the Generation Platform in Portugal. All types of communities are subject to material impacts assessments and consequent engagement and action plans: indigenous communities are amongst these. EDP requires its teams and contractors to endure the ESG Policies and Regimentations stated by the Company. Transparency through stakeholder engagement; mapping all affected by operation and an early assessment and communication plan with those, is required and mandatory. Engagement/ action plans are developed after this assessment is taken. When a complaint is placed, or an occurrence is detected, those situations are immediately identified, thus guaranteeing that EDP acts, addressing the situation and reporting on it. S3.SBM-3_04 - Material negative impacts occurrence (affected communities) Affected communities include mainly local communities living nearby or working in the surrounding of a new project with potential negative environmental impacts such as pollution, landscape changes, biodiversity loss, and negative social impacts such as expropriations or local social conflicts. Those impacts differ significantly with the technology, size, and location of a certain project. Additionally it can also include suppliers, contractors, or partners involved in EDP's value chain, if the business relation leads to unfair treatment, exploitation, and discrimination. Following the double materiality process implemented at EDP in 2024, detailed in SBM-3_01, no environmental impacts on local communities were considered material and only the issue on perpetuation of inequality and marginalisation within the broader community was deemed material. S3.SBM-3_05 - Description of activities that result in positive impacts and types of affected communities that are positively affected or could be positively affected EDP develops several CSR initiatives in the communities impacted by its operations that create a positive impact on those communities. With more than €30m invested each year in CSR programs around the world, EDP is committed to contribute to the communities with its own initiatives, donations, and volunteering. From Europe to Latin America, North America, Africa and APAC, EDP develops more than 500 social projects with a strong focus on ensuring a fair energy transition that leaves no-one behind. While Fair Energy Transition is the overarching global theme, EDP also invests in Culture through its foundations in Brazil, Spain and Portugal, as well as in Emergency relief (to face natural disasters, wars, etc.) and other specific needs to support local communities. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 290| | | | | | | | | | Within Fair Energy Transition, EDP develops social projects across 6 main pillars that drive valuable global alignment: • solar energy projects \- implementation of solar panels to bring the benefits of solar (in self- consumption or solar communities) in schools, rural or disadvantaged communities or social organization all over the world. EDP has implemented more than 1,700 solar panels impacting more than 6,300 people and avoiding the emission of 220 tons of CO2. Some countries were this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Greece, United States of America • energy poverty projects - offering energy-saving and energy-efficient solutions in the homes of low-income families - e.g. better insulated windows and doors, more efficient equipments, helping these people to keep their homes at an adequate temperature (and thus preventing various illnesses at the same time. Some countries where this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Romania • green impact investment & financial support - Impact investment fund and capital donations to support local fair energy transition businesses such as: i. A2E Fund - a fund to support renewable energy projects that promote the environmental, social and economic development of rural communities in developing countries. With 6 editions underway, EDP received over 920 applications and selected 47 projects in Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Angola and Rwanda, investing €4.5m (2018-2024); ii. EDP Solidarity Energy - a fund from the 3 foundations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil that supports innovative, sustainable and impactful projects that contribute to a fairer, more inclusive and socially responsible society, through non-refundable donations. It targets conversion to renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric mobility. iii. Hope Fund - a fund that will invest in social purpose organizations with a sustainable business model, that address all types of Fair Energy Transition challenges, with innovative impact solutions in Portugal, Spain and other countries from South America. This investment aims for total/partial capital recovery while traditional philanthropy assumes complete loss of capital from the onset. • upskilling and reskilling projects - development of projects within the scope of renewable energy, to meet future labour needs and guarantee that former coal workers, people living in communities close to EDP’s production centres and other minorities have job opportunities. Some countries were this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Italy • educational projects - promotion of Educational Programs so that new generations (aged 6 to 16) understand the importance of clean energy sources and their role in decarbonising and mitigating climate change. Some of the countries where this project has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Poland • environmental sustainability projects - projects aimed at protecting species or the natural heritage, such as cleaning up beaches and oceans or restoring forests, while helping to maintain and strengthen ecosystem services that benefit local communities. Some examples include an underwater clean-up action in Portugal (breaking a Guinness World Record for the largest number of divers in 12h), which also took place in Spain and Singapore, or the Re.Earth project, a pilot project launched in Portugal to create a local circular economy based on light biomass owned by small local landowners. The smallholders clean up their land with the possibility of selling their agroforestry waste. EDP then uses this biomass to create green energy and heat the facilities of social organisations. At the same time, land clearing contributes greatly to preventing forest fires and their harmful environmental and social consequences. The social investment projects developed by EDP and their positive impacts on communities are disclosed in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. Information on the type of communities benefiting from CSR projects is collected by the teams managing the projects and reported on an internal platform for managing the company's social investment. The type of communities benefiting from these projects include those affected by the closure/opening of new power stations, communities in developing countries, indigenous communities, people with some type of vulnerability in the communities impacted by EDP's operations (homeless, low-income, affected by some type of physical or mental illness, elderly people or those in a situation of social exclusion), local social entrepreneurs (e.g. the local entrepreneurship program ENTAMA), emergency relief teams, among others. This information will be made publicly available in the 2024 social investment report. S3.SBM-3_06 - Description of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on affected communities The double materiality assessment highlighted material opportunities in social dialogue and stakeholder engagement. Effective communication through social dialogue fosters valuable insights that shape responsive business strategies and enable proactive issue resolution, and strengthen a social licence to operate. Additionally, community collaboration, drives collective problem-solving, innovation, and inclusivity. Grievance mechanisms also enable affected communities to voice | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 291| | | | | | | | | | concerns or report issues, allowing for timely resolution, preventing escalation, and building trust and accountability within the community. The material risks stem from community resistance to EDP’s projects, which can result in delays, increased costs, reputational damage, or even project cancellations. Failure to address indigenous property rights and failure to build trust within communities, poses a significant risk to EDP, including legal, reputational, financial, and operational challenges. S3.SBM-3_07 - Disclosure of whether and how the undertaking has developed an understanding of how affected communities with particular characteristics or those living in particular contexts, or those undertaking particular activities may be at greater risk of harm EDP discloses a Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy, with an extensive list of Procedures compulsory throughout the group. It's mandatory to address impacted communities, indigenous and not, thus justifying the plans engaged towards the population. At the Local Stakeholders Procedures, EDP discloses how to identify local stakeholders: Identification of project stakeholders For the purposes of identifying the main stakeholders involved, ensuring the success of the project at all its stages, its is necessary to draw up a framework of the project’s stakeholders. Non-exhaustive criteria to support the process of identifying stakeholders are identified in the side image. Communicating for stakeholders engagement As Communication being one of the principles established by the EDP Group Stakeholders Relationship Policy, it is essential for it to be established in the action plan as a priority. Before that, it must be culturally apprehended by the EDP team and its relevance and methodology clearly induced to the teams that represent EDP in the territory, even if external. Further onto these Procedures, the various dimensions of dialogue to be considered are listed, identifying the various disclosure methods and dialogue tools. Listening to stakeholders To understand the position of stakeholders in relation to the project, including their expectations and needs, a representative sample of stakeholders should be heard in a structured way, so we can incorporate their input into the decision-making process. Among the various formats for hearings, it is recommended that personal and individual interviews be carried out with the different stakeholders, allowing the discourse to be adapted to the audience. In addition to interviews, stakeholders can also be consulted in other ways (see next page). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 292| | | | | | | | | | Consultation formats for stakeholders: • personal interviews (recommended) or online • paper or online questionnaires • stakeholders commission • public hearings. Examples of issues to address: • attitude towards the project (positive or negative) • main advantages and disadvantages of the project • main groups impacted (benefited and harmed) • procedural aspects of project decisions • assessment of the local stakeholders’ relationship with the company • local communities’ experiences of other projects of similar size • project acceptance measures • preferential channels for communication with communities • regulatory/normative challenges. At the end of the hearing process, the stakeholders’ expectations should be analysed carefully and, where appropriate, integrated into decision-making processes. Characterisation of stakeholders After listening to stakeholders and getting to know their position and expectations in respect of the project in detail, a division and prioritization should be carried out according to the information gathered, in order to define engagement approaches in line with their respective profiles. Analysis and processing of the information identified will make it possible to build a table with stakeholders’ positions by identifying typical profiles aligned on how the respondents understand the project. Identifying and segmenting key actor profiles will make it possible to build structured and effective responses in line with their different positions on the project. Criteria for supporting the segmentation of stakeholders: • position regarding the project: supporters, neutral, critical or blocker • ability to influence operations • ability to influence other stakeholders • visibility within media and communities • impact of operations on stakeholders and vice-versa. Information to be contained in the appropriate stakeholders profiling tables: • stakeholders • local/ national/ international • segment to which they belong • relevant stakeholders topics, whether internal/external and what risks they entail • the stakeholders’ position in respect of the project • influence on the theme, operations and stakeholders • stakeholders’ visibility and media profile • contacts • other information. These Procedures also include the measures for engagement. It is essential to draw up a Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan that will include voluntary and mandatory measures, and which must contain clear and consistent responses to the stakeholders’ expectations and needs, promoting proximity and trustworthy communication, creating shared value through collaboration. This proposal should always be accompanied by deadlines for compliance or implementation of the measures. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 293| | | | | | | | | | The Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan should be reviewed whenever justified by strategic changes, or by the stakeholders’ position, considering what was initially verified. Type of measures • Mandatory measures: These initiatives aim to promote engagement with stakeholders to offset the project’s impact, in line with EDP’s legal or regulatory obligations or other commitments previously entered by EDP. • Voluntary measures: Each BU must create an Initiative Catalogue that will serve as the basis for negotiating all actions to be taken with project stakeholders. Approaches to engagement The proposed actions must be broken down by their nature (information, consultation, partnership or other) and must have a clear implementation/enforcement period. • Information actions: Disclose project information to keep all stakeholders up to date. • Consultation actions: Identify perceptions and expectations and keep the Project Manager informed. • Partnerships: Create consensus in divergent situations, incorporate perceptions and expectations in decision-making or negotiation processes. Minimum information the plan must contain: • stakeholders mapping • segment to which they belong • stakeholders’ consultation results analysis & sharing • engagement objectives; • compulsory and voluntary measures • actions and their nature • deadlines • channels to be used and developed • identification of the Person(s) Responsible for its execution, monitoring and reporting • intended results • KPIs • regular report compromise. In Brazil, there are specific public conventions and regulations towards traditional people (indigenous) like the OIT/ILO (International Labour Organization) Convention #169 on Tribal and Indigenous People, determining the need for special measurements on impact mitigation, and those are covered while ESIAs are being assessed. In 2022, a Social Diagnosis mapped discomfort towards the building of wind projects at Serra de Borborema, and an Action Plan was designed, creating social programs aligned with the communities needs. A good example is IMPULSA, a social program supporting professional skills for locals - over 120 students were taught on HT electricity; industrial machinery, stone work and motorcycle mechanics. By 2024, a new class of 68 were taught pastry, modelling and system technology. In Spain and Portugal, Generation develloped a General Action Plan that implies auditing the local communities, communicating with them and defining external vision for each project, before the final plan is implemented. These sometimes involve academic studies, or external assesses of the population's fears and expectations, defining risks and opportunities to address. S3.SBM-3_08 - Disclosure of which of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on affected communities are impacts on specific groups The 'Failure to address indigenous property rights' is a risk that only impacts indigenous people. Other risks and opportunities identified are applicable to all affected communities. S3.MDR-P_01-06 - Policies to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to affected communities EDP approved its Policy of Local Stakeholder Engagement in 2023, and it is published at its site under “Stakeholder Management Approach”. A detailed set of Procedures was shared with all community/ stakeholders teams at group level, and is published internally at the intranet, and also at | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 294| | | | | | | | | | the Sharepoint those teams share, “Community Gate Keeper”. The premise is to map and deeply engage with the communities before starting a new project, and throughout operation.All types of Communities are to be identified, mapped, and customized upon their approach, according to their specificities, including indigenous communities. EDP also has its Social Investment Policy, which establishes the objectives, corporate strategies and regulations relating to EDP's Social Investment, which is expressed in social responsibility programmes and projects in the community through its own and collaborative initiatives, donations and volunteering. This policy is also published on the edp.com website. S3-1_01 - Disclosure of any particular policy provisions for preventing and addressing impacts on indigenous peoples EDP’s Policy of Local Stakeholder Engagement, page 7/8 provides for the results of independent ESIA and HRA to be reported, justifying when there’s a non-existence of negative impacts. The Policy describes the indicators to be analysed, and all steps to be considered when approaching a Community. The Procedures’ document further describes all steps at any operation phase, to respectfully engage with local stakeholders. Further policies support the respect for local communities and the assessment of impacts inflicted: EDP's Environmental policy, following EDP's Sustainable Development Principles and covering circular economy, water resources, biodiversity and specific impacts on indigenous populations (these can be through electromagnetic fields, Biodiversity, Air Emissions, Spills, Landscape changes; noise and waste). The Human and Labour Rights Policy endorses strategic commitments towards international treaties and law, also defining EDP's Action Principles, namely: "c) Recognize as stakeholders: workers and their families, local communities, and any other person or group of people whose lives and environment may be influenced by EDP’s activities, including their legitimate representatives, labour unions, social or environmental organizations. d) Engage constructively with its stakeholders, especially those affected or likely to be affected by its activities, incorporating their views and concerns within business decisions and the development of its approach to human and labour rights. e) Avoid adverse impacts that may arise from business operations or relationships, ensuring remediation in the event of their occurrence and undertaking not to retaliate against accusations, and cooperating in initiatives that promote access to remediation through legitimate judicial or non- judicial mechanisms. (...)" S3-1_02 \- Description of relevant human rights policy commitments relevant to affected communities EDP’s Human and Labour Rights Policy is published at [www.edp.com](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/human-rights). Article 8 defines its Action Principles, specifically addressing Local Communities under c), and article 10 promotes the HR working committee who assesses the annual report and improvement plan. The Policy is based on the international frameworks defined by the United Nations and the International Labour Organization. EDP follows the principles of the International Bill of Human Rights. Affected Communities is one of the areas human rights is addressed. S3-1_03 - Disclosure of general approach in relation to respect for human rights of communities, and indigenous peoples specifically EDP’s Human and Labour Rights Policy - Under "Action Principles": Recognize as stakeholders: workers and their families, local communities, and any other person or group of people whose lives and environment may be influenced by EDP’s activities, including their legitimate representatives, labour unions, social or environmental organizations. Under "International Treaties and conventions" the policy mentions the commitments it respects, among others, within the scope of the UN - "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007"; within the scope of ILO - "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007" EDP has a "Policy of Local Stakeholder Engagement" describing in detail local stakeholder engagement procedures, specifically "stakeholder engagement first steps when entering a community", applicable to all territories, including indigenous communities. This policy indicates its Principles, defining for stakeholder engagement first steps , then followed by the definition of procedures and responsibilities implemented: i. Governance from Board to local teams; ii. Identification of project stakeholders (through Influence/ Proximity/ Impact/ Representation / Vulnerability); iii. Engagement approach; iv. Managing Expectations; v. Monitoring and evaluation, further identifying the action plan needed per project phase. An extra document of Procedures for Local Stakeholder Engagement was approved in 2023 and implemented at all local teams, with specific methodologies, maps and monitoring processes. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 295| | | | | | | | | | S3-1_04 - Disclosure of general approach in relation to engagement with affected communities EDP has a "Policy of Local Stakeholder Engagement" describing in detail Local Stakeholder Engagement Procedures, specifically "stakeholder engagement first steps when entering a community". This policy indicates its principles, defining for stakeholder engagement first steps when entering a community then followed by the definition of procedures and responsibilities implemented: i. Governance from Board to local teams; ii. Identification of project stakeholders (through Influence/ Proximity/ Impact/ Representation / Vulnerability); iii. Engagement approach; iv. Managing Expectations; v. Monitoring and evaluation, further identifying the action plan needed per project phase. An extra document of Procedures for Local Stakeholder Engagement was approved in 2023 and implemented at all local teams, with specific methodologies, maps and monitoring processes. S3-1_05 \- Disclosure of general approach in relation to measures to provide and (or) enable remedy for human rights impacts Under EDP's Human Rights Policy, EDP is committed to follow the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, through the application of the following action principles directly linked to potential affected communities (not exhaustive): • identify, prevent and monitor the risks related to human and labour rights • guarantee it will not be complicit in human and labour rights abuses or disrespect • recognize local communities, and any other person or group of people whose lives and environment may be influenced by EDP’s activities, including their legitimate representatives, labour unions, social or environmental organizations • engage constructively with its stakeholders, especially those affected or likely to be affected by its activities, incorporating their views and concerns within business decisions and the development of its approach to human and labour rights • avoid adverse impacts that may arise from business operations or relationships, ensuring remediation in the event of their occurrence • ensure the proper functioning of a system to report occurrences and make complaints, with a guarantee of confidentiality and non-retaliation • communicate and report with transparency its approach to human and labour rights. Following these action principles, at project level, EDP: • conducts a local stakeholder engagement process in order to identify main concerns, and adapts locally the project in order to avoid or mitigate the impacts on the surrounding communities • identifies the main environmental and social impacts, through an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, where several mitigation initiatives are locally proposed, approved and implemented • during the SEIA, public consultation stage allows a period for the overall society to comment and suggest any changes | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 296| | | | | | | | | | • when required or it is perceived a certain project may have material impacts, local sessions to present the project to local communities are conducted, reinforcing the engagement process in place • when material impacts are identified, a compensatory action plan is put in place, tailor made for the local community. Additionally, in many countries, a financial fee to the municipality is added to the overall cost of the project. This fee is normally linked to the annual revenue of the site. All human rights impacts are assessed, as stated at EDP's Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy - as well as the need to plan accordingly, compensating and sharing value with the affected communities - those procedures are a must-have for the action plans provided per project, and those serve as metrics for the evidences looked upon while disclosing. EDP does not have a set- table of compensation measures, it is provided per case and per situation, by the regional teams. Some examples of how these principles were put into practice: The Portuguese CERCA solar station is the biggest in Europe at EDP Group: the energy landscape impacts immensely on local communities, and a great effort was put into communicating the shared-value ahead of operation: over €400k were invested, both at a "Green Education " project implemented in nearby schools and compensation measures taken (construction of social facilities, agreed with the Municipality and contracted); from, those, over €200k were invested into construction of local accesses, like roads. In Brazil, the wind/ transmission investment of Serra de Borborema led EDPR into a very deep social diagnosis, to further identify possible impacts upon the communities. Population was heard and mapped in detail, 11 communities, their occupation, their ways of living, their demographic line, school level, land occupancy, sanitary conditions and various other criteria, to better acknowledge how to interact and propose shared-value. It was meant to feed the social action plan of EDPR towards the region: Locals were heard and spoken to, stakeholders identified and a social investment plan designed and shared with the community. Education on Renewable Energy was implemented at local schools, as well as incentivised for young adults . Agricultural incentives were identified as well as the improvement of water resources ( wells). Various social programmes previously piloted by EDPR were brought in. Also in Chile, the 5 new areas of investment have thorough stakeholder mapping, upon which formal agreements were met with local communities, through collaboration conventions and social strategy: The indigenous communities were assessed by independent sources, identifying risks and former complications with the Mapuche people and the lessons learned from that. Coordination instances were established between EDPR and the localities, and social investment was released with the sole purpose of executing community initiatives, building trust and sharing value. S3-1_06 \- Disclosure of whether and how policies are aligned with relevant internationally recognised instruments EDP has in place a Human and Labour Rights Policy framed by several international reference treaties and standards and establishing the procedures that ensures compliance with them.The Policy applies to all EDP Group companies and employees, business relationship and activities, in all its geographic locations, regardless of the local practices or level of social and economic development. The Policy sets out for the EDP Group’s sphere of activity its commitment to respect all internationally recognized human and labour rights, namely the following most relevant to affected communities: • United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, aiming to protect affected communities through a framework known as "Protect, Respect, and Remedy." • Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 • instruments to protect vulnerable people and groups, including the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007, and the Understanding the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169). This Policy considers a set of main strategic commitments applied to the affected communities: • support the International Bill of Human Rights, subscribe to and implement the Principles of the Global Compact and the instruments to protect vulnerable people and groups • apply the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and related conventions and the Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy • operate a human and labour rights management system that is active and present in all its activities, implementing the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct and the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on Corporate Due Diligence and Corporate Accountability. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 297| | | | | | | | | | The Policy considers a set of action principles, from which the following are the most relevant to affected communities: • identify, prevent and monitor the risks related to human and labour rights that are salient in its sector of activity, developing and keeping a Human and Labour Rights Risk Map up to date • guarantee it will not be complicit in human and labour rights abuses or disrespect • recognize as stakeholders: local communities and any other person or group of people whose lives and environment may be influenced by EDP’s activities, including their legitimate representatives, labour unions, social or environmental organizations • engage constructively with its stakeholders, especially those affected or likely to be affected by its activities, incorporating their views and concerns within business decisions and the development of its approach to human and labour rights • avoid adverse impacts that may arise from business operations or relationships, ensuring remediation in the event of their occurrence and undertaking not to retaliate against accusations, and cooperating in initiatives that promote access to remediation through legitimate judicial or non-judicial mechanisms • ensure the proper functioning of a system to report occurrences and make complaints, with a guarantee of confidentiality and non-retaliation • communicate and report with transparency its approach to human and labour rights, identifying risks and impacts, mitigation, compensation and remediation measures taken and the results of such actions. S3-1_07 \- Disclosure of extent and indication of nature of cases of non-respect of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work or OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises that involve affected communities EDP discloses the number of claims in relation to Human Rights "EDP Group was not subject to accusations or suspicions of violations of fundamental human and labour rights.". It also discloses number of claims related to Relationship with communities, through quantitative evidence at the Integrated Report. S3-1_08 - Disclosure of explanations of significant changes to policies adopted during reporting year When a new policy or set of procedures is approved, endorsed and disclosed, it is always presented under this report and publicly exposed at EDP’s site. For example, in 2024 the social investment policy was reviewed and a new version approved. The main changes to this new policy were: • the revision of the definition of social investment to now also include investments in innovation of the company's products, services, or operations, as well as operational expenses with procurement processes, which create a clearly defined and demonstrable social impact • new strategic investment axes, prioritising issues related to fair energy transition, in line with the company's business focus • change in policy's responsibilities, following the creation of an office to supervise and coordinate the company's social investment. The policy itself mentions the history of its versions, as well as the policy's main changes in each version (section 1. Version History). EDP's social investment policy is disclosed at edp.com website. S3-1_09 - Disclosure on an illustration of the types of communication of its policies to those individuals, group of individuals or entities for whom they are relevant EDP states in its Social Investment Policy (section 6.5. Communication) that ‘The Policy, Social Investment Programs/Projects and respective Results are publicly disclosed, at least, through the websites, publications and reports of EDP Structures.’ The[ Social Investment Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-yes/social-investment-policy) is publicly disclosed at edp.com website. In addition to public disclosure, the policy was also publicised internally to employees through: • emails directly addressed to EDP employees working on social investment/CSR • internal notice on the company's intranet and social network, for wider dissemination to all employees. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 298| | | | | | | | | | In order to break down language barriers, the policy is translated into the following languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese (the main languages used in the countries where EDP operates). EDP also discloses how the communication of the Human and Labour Rights Policy is carried out on a permanent basis (paragraph 13) - the Integrated Report and the Social Investment report disclose all this info. S3-2_01 - Disclosure of whether and how perspectives of affected communities inform decisions or activities aimed at managing actual and potential impacts EDP Policy for Local Stakeholder Engagement endorses its Procedures, a document that is baseline of action to any community engagement. At the Local Stakeholder Engagement Procedures, page 8 onwards, the responsibilities governance is described in detail and include “defining, implementing and monitoring the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan in accordance with the EDP Group Stakeholders Relationship Policy, the EDP Group Stakeholders Management Methodology Guide and the EDP Group Local Stakeholders Engagement Policy, and in particular: • analyses benchmarking of risks taken in the community; action taken before, lessons learned, and results obtained • lists all risks now evident from DD and first stakeholders audits • analyses the main themes to be addressed while engaging with the local stakeholders • proposes the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan to the BU’s Stakeholders Management Department, which is responsible for approving it and deciding how often it should be informed about the project’s progress • informs and keeps the Project Manager informed in accordance with the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan.”. The Procedures continue, including dimensions of stakeholder dialogue to be considered; disclosure methods and dialogue tools and a chapter on listening to stakeholders and further on, under “indicator types”, “assess the short-or medium-term changes that occur in people and organizations as a result of the company’s activity. These are indicators that monitor the success of the initiatives developed: i.e., the added value for stakeholders or the number of direct and indirect jobs created. They can be subdivided into (i) the impact of EDP’s action on stakeholders and (ii) the impact of the identified stakeholders in the territory (quantity and quality). Some examples: average learning hours per person; average care hours per person; average edutainment hours per person; new jobs created; studies published; waste removed; recovered natural area; planted trees; individuals of a species protected; installed renewable energy; energy savings; adaptation plans approved. Always leave space for “others” and their description, to openly evaluate all options.” In Spain, in areas where the Coal Power Plants were to be decommissioned, independent assessments were taken and the communities were heard and involved on the plans to overcome the economic set-back of a closure. In Portugal, several meetings were held directly with municipalities, sharing the state of the art of the projects and their outcomes expected/ commitments taken by EDP towards the community. S3-2_02 - Engagement occurs with affected communities or their legitimate representatives directly, or with credible proxies Under EDP Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy, EDP teams must follow the Local Stakeholder Engagement Procedures, which define criteria for identification of project stakeholders (page 10/11). In North America, the Community Relations Coordinator program is someone from the local population that is contracted to be the eyes and hears of EDP in the field, understanding the communities most outstanding needs. The local stakeholder teams have regular workshops on specificities of engaging with general public, and local events are supported and endured to promote communication with the population; in Australia, Orange County engaged with several tribes, hearing their formal representatives on the Wind project that was under development: the community leaders were then engaged on the incoming project, and were asked to name it at their will. Australia's largest [community co-owned solar and battery hybrid clean energy park](https://www.edpr.com/apac/en/orange-community-renewable-energy-park) had an [openned voting](https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?subpage=design&token=98d3c34604ef47469cfb2656a1d9fb01&id=2_uGv8L4DkSSPAWmDcK8m-ALNqJGG-VCoOfQnBzAC0FURVhUVkVVUkw4TjZFMk5VTllQS0tURjhGMS4u) through local schools for its name, that included schools from all territories involved. Names suggested are still being pulled for a 2025 disclosure. The voting committee represented community stakeholders, as: the indigenous community;a local NGO; the City Council; the Indigenous Community Lobbying group; the co-op partners and EDP. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 299| | | | | | | | | | S3-2_03 - Disclosure of stage at which engagement occurs, type of engagement and frequency of engagement Under EDP Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy, the approach and the managing of expectations are indicated, specifying the informations required and when/ how to use it (pages 12/13), further defining approach PER project phase (page 14) and stating that “SEIS should follow the various phases and be revisited whenever there is evolution or change of phase.” EDP teams must follow the Local Stakeholder Engagement Procedures, which define per project phase, all steps needed, introducing annexes with the tables for: | ---|--- Cycle of Local Stakeholders Engagement | Annex i. Identification of project stakeholders | Annex ii. 1 Characterization of project stakeholders | Annex ii. 2 Project stakeholders hearings | Annex ii. 3 Structuring the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan | Annex ii. 4 Results of the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan | Annex ii. 5 Regular reporting | Annex ii. 6 EDP Group stakeholders segmentation| Annex iii. The frequency of active engagement depends on the risks identified or requests/ complaints filed under the communication channels established." At EDP Produção, the development stage is designed and disclosed at the Stakeholder Engagement Plan; the Project Operational phase is disclosed under specific project-by-project plans, available for public consultation, and Deactivation phase is disclosed following ESIA assessments academically prepared for the purpose of minimizing the economic impact of a shut-down. At E-Redes, all licensing has public disclosure previous to enforcement, and municipalities are involved at sub-stations' level. Building a social investment towards communities, E-Redes has been promoting bio-diversity, energy efficiency within populations and social inclusion. The annual report states all the specific projects endured, as well as the safety programs built for communities where it operates, with simulations and exercises near the affected communities. S3-2_04 - Disclosure of function and most senior role within undertaking that has operational responsibility for ensuring that engagement happens and that results inform undertakings approach Under EDP Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy (pages 9/10), the Governance Model definition is clear, from EBD down, defining the the integration of the engagement of local-scale stakeholders in the formal structure of the company and its subsidiaries, according to the following map: The responsibilities assigned to each of the roles are as follows (should there be no Stakeholder Department at a specific BU, the Project team interacts with the Corporate department responsible for managing stakeholders). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 300| | | | | | | | | | Project Manager Responsible for ensuring that the DD and the HRA have been executed by an independent and reliable 3rd party, and for implementing, coordinating and monitoring the project’s development, by complying with the EDP Group Stakeholders Relationship Policy, the EDP Group Stakeholders Management Methodology Guide and the EDP Local Stakeholders Engagement Policy. The project manager also sets out the responsibilities for implementing the Local Stakeholder Engagement Plan initiatives, as defined in the EDP Stakeholders Management Methodology Guide and in this Policy, ensuring its preparation and defining who’s to implement it, guaranteeing compliance with all the requirements. Stakeholder Manager Assigned by the Project Manager, responsible for defining, implementing and monitoring the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan in accordance with the EDP Group Stakeholders Relationship Policy, the EDP Group Stakeholders Management Methodology Guide and this Policy, and in particular: • analyses benchmarking of risks taken in the community; action taken before, lessons learned, and results obtained • lists all risks now evident from DD and first stakeholders' audits • analyses the main themes to be addressed while engaging with the local stakeholders • proposes the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan to the BU’s Stakeholders Management Department, which is responsible for approving it and deciding how often it should be informed about the project’s progress • keeps the Project Manager informed in accordance with the Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan. Business Unit’s Stakeholder Management/Corporate Geographic Department Departments that ensure the coordination of stakeholders management activities in their BU in Portugal. In the remaining geographical regions, this point is taken to the corporate department responsible for managing stakeholders in the respective geographical region. Main responsibilities include: • notify PR&Stakeholders by 30 January each year, of the projects covered by this Policy in accordance with the criteria laid down. The list of projects may be updated on a proposal from the BU’s Stakeholders Management Department/ in the geography or PR&Stakeholders at any time of the year • ensure consistency between the plans of the different BUs projects, as well as compliance with all the group’s procedures • analyse, approve and monitor the implementation of the project’s Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan • determine the regularity with which the project team must inform it about the development of the project • share the project’s Stakeholders Management Plan with PR&Stakeholders from its approval and at least every six months basis, ensuring the strategic alignment of the EDP Group. S3-2_05 - Disclosure of how the undertaking assesses the effectiveness of its engagement with affected communities The Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy discloses an article on “ Managing Expectations”and “ monitoring and evaluation”, endorsed at the Procedures at page 28, “Continue to disclose, consult and report information to stakeholders The continuous disclosure of the project information to stakeholders, as well as the nature and frequency of the consultation and reporting activities during the course of the operations, should be proportionate to the extent of the impacts and concerns for their stakeholders. It is important to keep an open channel of communication with key stakeholders informing them when necessary." In España, preparing for the shutdown of the Coal Power Plants in Carreño, Ribera, Espiel and Los Barrios, a Public Participation process was installed. Results upon the perception on Quality of Life; the de-population of territories; the action taken by EDP to engage with those issues and how the main fears and problems were addressed were shared with the population, and taken into the the action plan drawn for those regions 2024/2026. The general Engagement plans prepared by EDP Generation always cover internal and external visions for the process phase, analysing specific needs and suggested investments towards local communities. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 301| | | | | | | | | | S3-2_06 - Disclosure of steps taken to gain insight into perspectives of affected communities that may be particularly vulnerable to impacts and (or) marginalised The Policy of Local Stakeholder Engagement is further developed under the Procedures document, per project phase“ To the extent applicable, stakeholders engagement activities should be continued, in topics such as: In Brazil, local populations are prepared for major impacts with a permanent communication system, that hears, manages expectations and creates meaningful alternatives for those impacted. There are public hearings when needed. The specific case of networks challenges the relocation of populations: there are social diagnosis previously done on the relocation of families at Guarulhos EDP distribution line. Also, at operation level, the Interaction social plan for the Indigenous Community of São Manoel has been positively impacting the lives and relations of the population with Generation: there was an Interaction Plan followed by public presentations and later reports on the action taken and impacts measured. There's also the ABEEolica organization Best Practice Manual that EDP worked at, and supported , being part of an ESG day by April 2024, reinforcing a narrative transversal to peer and value chain, towards the benefits of wind energy. S3-2_07 - Disclosure of whether and how the undertaking takes into account and ensures respect of particular rights of indigenous peoples in its stakeholder engagement approach It is stated at the Policy for Local Stakeholder Engagement, page 7: “ (...) When analysing a particular project, and also based on the results of the DD and HRA carried out, the BUs should identify the following indicators as far as local stakeholders are concerned: • CAPEX, if the amount has an impact on the BU’s business plan or budget foreseen for the project. • Social impact: i. impact on the local economy/lifestyle and culture of the community ii. impact preventable on vulnerable stakeholders (indigenous people and minorities; socially deprived people, with the lack of fulfilment in any of the Human Rights defined by the UN) iii. significant impact on the territory/ landscape iv. impact of irreversible transformation on biodiversity v. significant impact on economic activity in the territory.( ...) “. Annually, the Stakeholder Management Unit compiles and reports on Impact on Indigenous People specifically, through GRI tables, developing the coming year’s Action Plan accordingly. the Impact Assessments and Due Diligences previous to development are compulsory and taken strictly into account while planning the investment, the development and Operation. A document was prepared and shared in Brazil, for the São Manoel HidroElectric project's surrounding indigenous population. It is a program on interaction and communication, mapping, identifying, engaging and evaluating outcomes within the community. In Chile, EDP Renováveis develloped a Community Outreach Plan from the public affairs area, and all initiatives were prepared in consultation with local teams and local stakeholders. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 302| | | | | | | | | | S3-3_10 - Disclosure of general approach to and processes for providing or contributing to remedy where undertaking has identified that it connected with a material negative impact on affected communities EDP discloses its action principles (Human and Labour Rights Policy) including "ensuring remediation in the event of their occurrence and undertaking not to retaliate against accusations, and cooperating in initiatives that promote access to remediation through legitimate judicial or non- judicial mechanisms" and "Communicate and report with transparency its approach to human and labour rights, identifying risks and impacts, mitigation, compensation and remediation measures taken and the results of such actions." It also discloses the "ACTION PLAN ACCORDING TO THE PROJECT PHASE" which includes the 2nd phase "Planning/Licensing" that includes the step to "Develop a Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan and define compensation measures". EDP Renováveis in Europe implements a methodology throughout various stages of the projects, following specific steps: a. Development: • prior environmental licence (around 1 year) • environmental & economic studies • social impact assessment • pre construction (in pre construction, the methodology and tactics used vary by market. In some cases, they are mandatory, while in others, EDP typically implements them proactively or chooses not to) b. Implementation of social programs • active listening of local stakeholders: through studies, surveys, meetings, informal conversations, etc. • public consultation process c. Construction • implementation of environmental plans and programs d. Operation: • execution of environmental plans and programs • open and continuous communication with local stakeholders such was the case at the Isle of Skye, Scotland , with the Ben Sca and Balmeanach project. It's bottom line that it is considered best practice to engage with local communities during the planning and consenting phases of projects to enhance their acceptance and support. In 2024, EDP implemented several community-focused initiatives near its projects, Ben Sca and Balmeanach. There was a collaboration agreement with a local college in Portree, Skye, to provide funding for training and courses aimed at benefiting the local community. These courses, offered at a reduced rate, cover a variety of important topics, including Renewable Energy Systems Awareness, Health & Safety training, First Aid and paediatric first aid training, chainsaw crosscut and maintenance, and food hygiene. Through these initiatives, Skye residents now have the opportunity to gain valuable skills and knowledge, supporting both personal development and local economic growth. S3-3_11 - Disclosure of specific channels in place for affected communities to raise concerns or needs directly with undertaking and have them addressed The primary channel for raising concerns is the Speak Up Channel, which is available to all stakeholders on the company website. This channel allows individuals to report any behaviour they perceive as violations of the Code of Ethics, internal regulations, or legal requirements. The Speak Up Channel ensures that all complaints are treated confidentially and that the identity of the whistleblower is protected unless disclosure is required by law. Complaints can be submitted through various means, including online forms, face-to-face meetings, or videoconferences. The company guarantees that all reports received will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and in accordance with data protection regulations. Additionally, the company provides the option for anonymous reporting, ensuring that the identity of the whistleblower remains unknown to those affected or investigated unless expressly authorized by the whistleblower. The investigation process is managed by the Ethics & Compliance Officer (ECO) and the Ethics Commission, ensuring that all complaints are handled impartially and without conflicts of interest. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 303| | | | | | | | | | The ECO is responsible for maintaining a secure communication channel with the whistleblower and ensuring compliance with applicable legislation and internal policies. The public EDP channels are always available, but specific examples illustrate how they function: • the Ketzin project - for certain projects, specific measures are taken to ensure open dialogue with stakeholders. These include preparing informational materials that highlight key aspects of the project and providing direct contact details for the individuals responsible for managing stakeholder relations. There was a poster prepared for the Ketzin project, which was published online on the town's website and displayed in the town hall where public notices are typically posted • the Ben Sca Wind Farm - some projects include dedicated ad-hoc landing pages to ensure that project-related information is publicly accessible to everyone. This is a common practice in the UK: Ben Sca Wind Farm | Homepage -> Specific sections are provided where people can submit questions and comments related to the project. These sections also inform the public about all steps involved in the consultation processes. S3-3_12 - Disclosure of processes through which undertaking supports or requires availability of channels The company ensures that its communication channels for reporting complaints, namely the Speak Up Channel and the Ethics Channel, are available 24/7. These channels are accessible to all employees and stakeholders through both internal and external platforms, with the Ethics Channel being available exclusively in Brazil. These channels facilitate the reporting of any perceived violations of the Code of Ethics, internal regulations, or legal requirements. To guarantee uninterrupted service, a dedicated maintenance team is on standby around the clock. This team is responsible for monitoring the system's integrity and promptly addressing any technical issues that may arise. This proactive approach ensures that the communication channels remain operational, providing a reliable means for individuals to report concerns confidentially and securely. EDP provides information on its Speak Up channels in its Whistleblowing Management Policy. It also discloses in its Local Stakeholders Engagement Policy that for each project specific communication channels must be identified on a per-project basis. Every local stakeholder team has this mapped and reported internally, sharing when red flags arise or yearly at the Annual Report timings. In North America, every project in development has an email and phone number made publicly available that is listed on the project webpage, the project fact sheet, and included in any external newsletters, advertisements, or invitations. Developers leave their contact information with local decision-makers (county commissioners, town supervisors, etc). It is standard practice for each development project to host a few types of events focused on sharing information and listening to the community: • landowner dinners - meetings with our participating lease holding landowners to share more detailed project updates and address any of their concerns/questions • community open house or info session - drop-in event with several informational posters and printouts with details on the project and answers to frequently asked questions, and several EDPR employees and subject matter experts on-hand to have conversations • construction kick-off open house - similar to the above but specifically done approximately one month prior to construction to prepare the community for the construction activities. In most cases, projects will also have an informational booth at community festivals to answer questions and share information as well. All the events are publicized by direct invitations mailed to landowners, in many cases also directly mailed to project neighbours, ads published in the local newspaper, and notifying community leaders to help publicize. At these events, our direct contact info (phone and email) is prominently featured as well. S3-3_13 - Disclosure of how issues raised and addressed are tracked and monitored and how effectiveness of channels is ensured As stated in the company Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure, the process begins with the receipt of a complaint, that is registered and filed in the complaint management support tool. All reports are automatically assigned a sequential number by the platform and cannot be modified or deleted. This ensures that all complaints and their respective investigations are documented and maintained with strict confidentiality and data protection measures. The channel was, in 2023, submitted to an internal audit. The Whistleblowing Management System Policy describes how the screening/preliminary analysis process is carried out, the investigation process and the classification of the complaint, the conclusion of the process and the decision. EDP states at its Policies, the engagement approach applied for each project, and that the communication channel must be created, identifying channels by project. It is also mentioned that in order to incorporate the opinion of the stakeholder, it should be listened to. It further mentions the | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 304| | | | | | | | | | importance of evaluating and monitoring communication mechanisms and that a dialogue should be established so that complaints are addressed. EDPR South America has an "Ouvidoria Social", a channel opened to the public since the first stages of investment. Files are then kept on a red flag system to assure follow-up ("fichas de Ouvidoria"). In Pedra Preta, local streets and structural accesses were damaged by construction trucks and there was a lot of complaining, immediately answered by local teams. Networks provides a Consumers Council, with representatives from various stakeholder levels, defending EDP consumers' interests. There are regular local workshops for clients and neighbourhood communities. Also at Transmission level, the local communication programs are always put together per project, per area, focusing on local population towards minimizing impacts. S3-3_14 - Disclosure of whether and how it is assessed that affected communities are aware of and trust structures or processes as way to raise their concerns or needs and have them addressed All new projects or new project phases have a communication channel mandatory to be enforced and made known to the population: per case, the means used are the ones that the local team makes sure will reach all members of the community, so they may be either email, open assemblies, external/street communication or other sports that the population will understand visually; NGOs are brought in when needed to reinforce communication and trust; telephone numbers are made available - and the Project Manager will receive all kinds of results, making sure that the population really is entitled and heard, and its comments/ protests or suggestions are incorporated onto the action plan. EDPR always implements a contact, specific per operation site, and there's also the more general info@edpr.com email available. Developers receive those emails and take action accordingly, involving the Community Engagement teams only when necessary. S3-3_15 - Policies regarding protection against retaliation for individuals that use channels to raise concerns or needs are in place EDP discloses policies regarding protection against retaliation for individuals that use channels to raise concerns or needs, are in place. The company has established comprehensive policies to protect individuals who use channels to raise concerns or needs, ensuring they are safeguarded against retaliation. The company prohibits any acts of retaliation against individuals who file complaints in good faith. This includes threats, attempts at retaliation, and any form of discrimination or adverse treatment. The policies ensure that the identity of the whistleblower is protected unless disclosure is required by law. S3-3_18 - Disclosure of whether and how affected communities are able to access channels at level of undertaking they are affected by EDP discloses (at EDP Policies for Local Stakeholder Engagement; Ethics; Integrity, and General Stakeholder Management) that grievances are treated confidentially and with respect to rights of privacy and data protection. When assessing a community for a project phase change, a mandatory communication channel is created with the local population: it is decided locally what will be the more efficient means to achieve the end of a fluent communication that will be reassuring, generate trust and shared value and eliminate fears. This could be done through a local NGO or local nominated translators from the community. There will be public currencies where a direct contact is provided, followed by differentiated means, as telephone numbers and/or emails. A local contact is permanently consulted on the state of the art of the relationship. The primary channel for raising concerns is the Speak Up Channel, which is available to all stakeholders on the company website. This channel allows individuals to report any behaviour they perceive as violations of the Code of Ethics, internal regulations, or legal requirements. S3-3_19 Third-party mechanisms are accessible to all affected communities In Brazil, there is a unique communication channel available to all stakeholders, the Ethics Channel, specifically for reporting violations of the Code of Ethics and other internal regulations, which operates on an external platform rather than an internal one. This channel is managed by a third party who initially receives and screens the reports. The third party then directs the reports to the internal investigation team according to a predefined flow, ensuring that all complaints are handled efficiently and appropriately. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 305| | | | | | | | | | S3-3_20 - Grievances are treated confidentially and with respect to rights of privacy and data protection When a complaint is received, it is registered and filed in the complaint management support tool, ensuring that all information is maintained with strict confidentiality and in accordance with data protection regulations. The identity of the whistleblower is protected unless disclosure is required by law, and all reports are treated with the utmost confidentiality. The investigation process is managed by the Ethics & Compliance Officer (ECO) and the Ethics Commission, ensuring that all complaints are handled impartially and without conflicts of interest. The ECO is responsible for maintaining a secure communication channel with the whistleblower and ensuring compliance with applicable legislation and internal policies. Additionally, the company emphasizes the importance of corrective actions and follow-up on complaints. Measures identified and recommended for correcting any unlawful and/or unethical behaviour found in the complaints are implemented and monitored to ensure their effectiveness. This includes changes to processes and control methods, corrections or adjustments to documentation, increased awareness or training on specific subjects, and other necessary measures. S3-3_21 - affected communities are allowed to use anonymously channels to raise concerns or needs Yes, as stated in the Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure . EDP discloses (at EDP Policies for Local Stakeholder engagement; Ethics; Integrity, and General Stakeholder Management) that channels can be used anonymously to raise concerns or needs. S3.MDR-A_01-12 - Action plans and resources to manage its material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to affected communities EDP develops several CSR initiatives in the communities impacted by its operations in order to prevent, mitigate and remedy any negative impacts and create a positive impact on those communities. With more than €30m invested each year in CSR programs around the world, EDP is committed to contribute to the communities with its own initiatives, donations, and volunteering. From Europe to Latin America, North America, Africa and APAC, EDP develops more than 500 social projects with a strong focus on ensuring a fair energy transition that leaves no-one behind. While Fair Energy Transition is the overarching global theme, EDP also invests in Culture through its foundations in Brazil, Spain and Portugal, as well as in Emergency relief (to face natural disasters, wars, etc.) and other specific needs to support local communities. Within Fair Energy Transition, EDP develops social projects across 6 main pillars that drive valuable global alignment: • solar energy projects - implementation of solar panels to bring the benefits of solar (in self- consumption or solar communities) in schools, rural or disadvantaged communities or social organization all over the world. EDP has implemented more than 1,700 solar panels impacting more than 6,300 people and avoiding the emission of 220 tons of CO2. Some countries where this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Greece, United States of America • energy poverty projects - offering energy-saving and energy-efficient solutions in the homes of low-income families - e.g. better insulated windows and doors, more efficient equipments, helping these people to keep their homes at an adequate temperature (and thus preventing various illnesses at the same time. Some countries where this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Romania • green impact investment & financial support - impact investment fund and capital donations to support local fair energy transition businesses such as: i. A2E fund - a fund to support renewable energy projects that promote the environmental, social and economic development of rural communities in developing countries. With 6 editions underway, EDP received over 920 applications and selected 47 projects in Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Angola and Rwanda, investing €4.5m (2018-2024) ii. EDP Solidarity Energy - a fund from the 3 foundations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil that supports innovative, sustainable and impactful projects that contribute to a fairer, more inclusive and socially responsible society, through non-refundable donations. It targets conversion to renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric mobility iii. Hope Fund -a fund that will invest in social purpose organizations with a sustainable business model, that address all types of Fair Energy Transition challenges, with innovative impact solutions in Portugal, Spain and other countries from South America. This investment aims for total/partial capital recovery while traditional philanthropy assumes complete loss of capital from the onset. • upskilling and reskilling projects - development of projects within the scope of renewable energy, to meet future labour needs and guarantee that former coal workers, people living in | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 306| | | | | | | | | | communities close to EDP’s production centres and other minorities have job opportunities. Some countries were this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Italy. • educational projects - promotion of Educational Programs so that new generations (aged 6 to 16) understand the importance of clean energy sources and their role in decarbonising and mitigating climate change. Some of the countries where this project has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Poland. • environmental sustainability projects projects aimed at protecting species or the natural heritage, such as cleaning up beaches and oceans or restoring forests, while helping to maintain and strengthen ecosystem services that benefit local communities. Some examples include an underwater clean-up action in Portugal (breaking a Guinness World Record for the largest number of divers in 12h), which also took place in Spain and Singapore, or the Re.Earth project, a pilot project launched in Portugal to create a local circular economy based on light biomass owned by small local landowners. The smallholders clean up their land with the possibility of selling their agroforestry waste. EDP then uses this biomass to create green energy and heat the facilities of social organisations. At the same time, land clearing contributes greatly to preventing forest fires and their harmful environmental and social consequences. The resources used to carry out these initiatives include cash, in-kind and time (volunteering) contributions, as well as the management costs to run these projects. EDP's contributions in this area are planned annually by the various companies that make up the EDP Group, and there is a specific budget for their realisation. This plan is always analysed by a team that coordinates EDP's social investment, ensuring that it complies with the objectives and strategic axes defined for social investment, and that it is in line with the group's social investment policy. In addition to the initiatives planned annually, support requests from communities are also received. These are received and analysed by the social investment coordination team, which evaluates potential support in light of the annual investment plan and the group's strategic objectives, as well as the specific needs of that community. Applications for support can be submitted using a specific form on the EDP YES website. The preparation of the annual social investment plan, as well as the reception, analysis, and support of unplanned initiatives, is described in an internal Social Investment Management procedure. The social investment projects developed by EDP and their positive impacts on communities are disclosed in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. The social investment strategy, objectives, and action axis are also described in the social investment policy. At Generation business units, Portugal and Spain are a showcase, under its Stakeholder Engagement Plans, on what and how to address when approaching local communities. S3-4_01 - Description of action taken, planned or underway to prevent, mitigate or remediate material negative impacts on affected communities Every stakeholders' engagement plan for local development has to disclose the action plan towards the impact generated locally. In North America, The Stakeholders' Engagement Team encourages EDP Developers to follow a standard community engagement timeline with a tactics manual, which explains all the various items in that timeline and what their purpose is. EDP considers the land use and very site-specific environmental concerns as impactful, but that is remediated or mitigated by the site design, at development stage. EDP develops several CSR initiatives in the communities impacted by its operations in order to mitigate and remedy any negative impacts. The company's social investment strategy prioritises projects related to Fair energy transition, since the company operates in a sector directly related to it and these are relevant issues for local communities. For example, EDP develops skills development and entrepreneurship support projects aimed at communities affected by the closure of thermal power stations or where new energy production centres will be installed, thus promoting job creation and the integration of more vulnerable people into the labour market, especially green jobs. One of these programs, in Spain, is the Entama program, created in 2019 to promote the energy transition and the development and reindustrialization of local communities through support for projects in territories where EDP has energy production centres or that are at risk of depopulation. By promoting small business projects in these communities, economic development and job creation are encouraged, as well as local supplier networks, thus valuing local resources, promoting sustainable tourism, generating wealth in the territory and, consequently, population settlement. Through this initiative, EDP intends to strengthen its social and economic involvement with the local communities near its production centres. In the first 5 editions, Entama supported 56 projects that generated about 98 jobs. In Vietnam, operations will be developed in the province of Ninh Thuan, so EDP invested in the community to share value and earn a social license to operate: facilitate access to bicycles for children in schools, or providing primary schools with TV devices to enhance the learning programs deployed there. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 307| | | | | | | | | | In Brazil, often Transmission Lines have to be moved to prevent impact (when possible). Networks distributes informative signs with the emergency and contingents plans; EDP showcases environmental and electric security processes whenever possible, through events and local public appearances. In regions like Agua Azul and Mogi Suzano, pamphlets with descriptive pictures were distributed to the population, and banners were posted at the construction sites; there are Safety Campaigns within workers, too, preventing from accidents. Local events are put together to endure the direct contact with populations: there are several indicators being rated throughout the year that prove right to the action taken, endorsing a commitment towards communities - and technical teams are made available for the re-connection whenever severe events occur, disconnecting electricity. EDP discloses several social investment projects aimed at affected communities and their positive impacts in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. S3-4_03 - Description of additional initiatives or processes with primary purpose of delivering positive impacts for affected communities The frameworks of action are identified at stakeholder engagement Plan and on local communication undertaken by EDP. Also promoted and stimulated by general outside Communication, from EDP team. In addition to developing CSR initiatives dedicated to mitigating and remedying the negative impacts of its operations, EDP also promotes many other initiatives in the communities impacted by its operations that create a positive impact on those communities, with the aim of establishing a good relationship with these communities, building a social licence to operate and addressing the development priorities and problems of local communities. When local communities are impacted by EDP operations (planning/construction/closure of energy production site or even on assets already in operation), local stakeholders, namely local authorities, are contacted to better understand their needs and expectations in order to develop the projects that best fit their needs. EDP is committed to contributing to communities through its own initiatives, donations and volunteering. From Europe to Latin America, North America and APAC, EDP develops social projects with a strong focus on ensuring a fair energy transition that leaves no one behind. For example, in North-America, every operating project LLC (also known as project phase) has $3000 USD budgeted each year for social investments. Development projects decide their own donation budgets, which are almost always much higher than $3k per phase. EDP has also developed a portfolio of social investment programmes that is presented to local stakeholders. This portfolio is based on projects that fall within the scope of the Just Energy Transition, based on 6 main pillars: • solar energy projects - implementation of solar panels to bring the benefits of solar (in self- consumption or solar communities) in schools, rural or disadvantaged communities or social organization all over the world. EDP has implemented more than 1,700 solar panels impacting more than 6,300 people and avoiding the emission of 220 tons of CO2.

Some of the countries where this project has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Poland. In United States of America, EDP also funds youth educational organizations like KidWind, FFA, and 4H • environmental sustainability projects - projects aimed at protecting species or the natural heritage, such as cleaning up beaches and oceans or restoring forests, while helping to maintain and strengthen ecosystem services that benefit local communities. Some examples include an underwater clean-up action in Portugal (breaking a Guinness World Record for the largest number of divers in 12h), which also took place in Spain and Singapore, or the Re.Earth project, a pilot project launched in Portugal to create a local circular economy based on light biomass owned by small local landowners. The smallholders clean up their land with the possibility of selling their agroforestry waste. EDP then uses this biomass to create green energy and heat the facilities of social organisations. At the same time, land clearing contributes greatly to preventing forest fires and their harmful environmental and social consequences. In addition to these initiatives, EDP also invests in Culture through its foundations in Brazil, Spain and Portugal, as well as in Emergency Aid (to deal with natural disasters, wars, etc.) and other specific initiatives to support the needs identified by stakeholders in local communities. The social investment projects developed by EDP and their positive impacts on communities are disclosed in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. S3-4_04 - Description of how effectiveness of actions or initiatives in delivering outcomes for affected communities is tracked and assessed EDP assesses the effectiveness of social investment projects in terms of their ability to create the desired positive impacts on communities through an impact assessment methodology it has developed and which is based on the United Nations' SDGs.This methodology is available for project managers to use to assess the impact of their projects on communities. EDP also follows the impact measurement methodology developed by B4SI - Business for Societal Impact. The B4SI framework is a structured approach for companies to measure and report their social impact, namely the long-term changes brought about by these activities (impacts). Through this methodology, EDP reports the following outcome indicators: 1\. Impact on people 1.1. Depth of impact - enables to assess the degree to which beneficiaries are better off as a result of the activity, identifying three distinct levels of change: i. connect: the number of people reached by an activity who can report some limited change as a result of the activity (e.g. raised awareness of opportunities to improve literacy skills) ii. improve: the number of people who can report some substantive improvement in their lives as a result of the activity (e.g. actually able to read better) iii. transform: the number of people who can report an enduring change in their circumstances, or for whom a change can be observed, as a result of the improvements made (e.g. got a job as a result of improved literacy) 1.2 Type of impact - enables to map the area(s) in which an activity has benefited the people it has reached: i. behaviour or attitude change: has the activity helped people make behavioural changes that can improve the person’s life or life chances or has it challenged negative attitudes or preconceptions, enabling them to make wider, different or more informed choices? ii. skills or personal effectiveness: has the activity helped people to develop new, or improve existing, skills to enable them to develop academically, in the work place and socially? iii. quality of life or well-being: has the activity helped people to be healthier, happier or more comfortable (e.g. through improved emotional, social or physical well-being)? | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 309| | | | | | | | | | 2\. Impact on community organizations The framework also enable to understand the degree to which a beneficiary entity or partner organization has: i. improved existing / delivered new services ii. reached more people or spent more time with clients iii. improved management processes iv. increased their profile v. taken on more staff or volunteers. EDP discloses that Community Gate Keeper monitors the group’s activity towards local populations and reports to the Board on impact achieved or avoided. In addition, EDP discloses several initiatives and actions in relation to affected communities and the respective KPIs. S3-4_05 - Description of processes to identifying what action is needed and appropriate in response to particular actual or potential material negative impact on affected communities EDP discloses its Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy, with an extensive list of Procedures compulsory throughout the group. It discloses a framework of "stakeholder engagement first steps when entering a community" which includes the steps of "definition of compulsory contributions needed and voluntary contributions possible" and "action plan, including responsibility chain, metrics and evidences (definition of voluntary indicators/ goals)"; the "action plan according to project phase" also includes a phase of planning/licensing to define compensation measures. In addition, the local stakeholder management teams have a portfolio of the company's social investment/CSR projects, which they present to the local communities in order to jointly identify which CSR initiatives provided by the company might make sense to implement in those communities and which could help to address potential negative impacts caused by the company. EDP discloses specific information regarding several community initiatives. (Stated at Local stakeholder engagement policy; Social Investment Report; EDP YES Website) S3-4_06 - Description of approach to taking action in relation to specific material negative impacts on affected communities EDP discloses its Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy, with an extensive list of Procedures compulsory throughout the group. It discloses a framework of "stakeholder engagement first steps when entering a community" which includes the steps of "definition of compulsory contributions needed and voluntary contributions possible" and "action plan, including responsibility chain, metrics and evidences (definition of voluntary indicators/ goals)"; the "action plan according to project phase" also includes a phase of planning/licensing to define compensation measures. EDP develops several CSR initiatives in the communities impacted by its operations in order to mitigate and remedy any negative impacts. When local communities are impacted by EDP operations (planning/construction/closure of energy production site or even on assets already in operation), local stakeholders, namely local authorities, are contacted to better understand their needs and expectations in order to develop the projects that best fit their needs. The company's social investment strategy prioritises projects related to Fair energy transition, since the company operates in a sector directly related to it and these are relevant issues for local communities. For example, EDP develops skills development and entrepreneurship support projects aimed at communities affected by the closure of thermal power stations or where new energy production centres will be installed, thus promoting job creation and the integration of more vulnerable people into the labour market, especially green jobs. This is the case during the planning and installation phase of the Serra da Borborema Wind Farm in Brazil. In the social diagnosis carried out for the Serra da Borborema Wind Farm, a high rate of unemployment was identified among young people who lacked the basic training to get a job in the region. The demands were identified in conjunction with the local authorities and residents will be offered scholarships to take professional qualification courses. In 2023, more than 110 students were trained in a 50/50 partnership with the Town Hall, where 4 courses were offered in 2 different periods: High Voltage Building Electrical Installer, Industrial Machinery Engineer, Bricklayer and Motorbike Manufacturing Mechanic. In 2024, 68 students were trained in the same partnership model, on 3 different courses: Confectioner, Modelling and Computer Programmer. The courses are taught by SENAI and the National Industrial Apprenticeship Service of Paraíba. In Portugal, several meetings are held with local impacted stakeholders, to inform and be informed on how to mitigate consequences of operation, defining options in an aligned way. Under Networks' projects, whenever appropriate and should the local stakeholders be affected in their lands, trespassed by HT and MT lines, monetary compensations are issued. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 310| | | | | | | | | | The social investment projects developed by EDP and their positive impacts on communities are disclosed in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. S3-4_07 - Description of approach to ensuring that processes to provide or enable remedy in event of material negative impacts on affected communities are available and effective in their implementation and outcomes EDP discloses the "Action plan according to the project phase" which includes the 2nd phase "Planning/Licensing", that highlights the step to "Develop a Local Stakeholders Engagement Plan and define compensation measures". In North America, a Tactics Manual was created, with a timeline to be followed, helping development teams through engagement conversations for maximum efficiency. The Community Engagement Team deploys monthly workshops with all involved with local populations, further endorsing tool to a shared value relation. With regard to the processes related to social investment/CSR initiatives, EDP has the following guiding documents: • Social Investment Policy, establishes the objectives, corporate strategies and regulations relating to EDP's Social Investment, which is expressed in social responsibility programmes and projects in the community, through its own and collaborative initiatives, donations and volunteering. This policy is available on the edp.com website and in the company's internal regulations • Social Investment Management Procedure \- an internal procedure that aims to describe the process of drawing up the annual social investment plan, as well as receiving, analysing and supporting unplanned initiatives. This document is available to all EDP employees in the company's internal regulations repository. EDP assesses the effectiveness of social investment projects in terms of their ability to remedy the negative impacts caused on communities, through the application of an impact assessment methodology it has developed and which is based on the United Nations SDGs.This methodology is available for project managers to assess the impact of their projects on communities. In 2024, EDP promoted a transversal impact measurement project with the support of an external partner to find an impact assessment methodology applicable to all projects and easily used by project managers. This project aims to strengthen EDP's impact assessment methodology, addressing the fact that not all projects have a direct correspondence with the SDGs. This project is underway and will be implemented by the 1st quarter of 2025 and will enable better measurement of the effectiveness of project implementation and outcomes in communities. S3-4_08 - Description of what action is planned or underway to mitigate material risks arising from impacts and dependencies on affected communities and how effectiveness is tracked / S3-4_09 - Description of what action is planned or underway to pursue material opportunities in relation to affected communities EDP develops several CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives in the communities impacted by its operations that create a positive impact on those communities. With more than €30m invested each year in CSR programs around the world, EDP is committed to contribute to the communities with its own initiatives, donations, and volunteering. From Europe to South America, North America, Africa and APAC, EDP develops more than 500 social projects with a strong focus on ensuring a fair energy transition that leaves no-one behind. While Fair Energy Transition is the overarching global theme, EDP also invests in Culture through its foundations in Brazil, Spain and Portugal, as well as in Emergency relief (to face natural disasters, wars, etc.) and other specific needs to support local communities. Within Fair Energy Transition, EDP develops social projects across 6 main pillars that drive valuable global alignment. The projects here listed align with the risks and opportunities identified: • solar energy projects - implementation of solar panels to bring the benefits of solar (in self- consumption or solar communities) in schools, rural or disadvantaged communities or social organization all over the world. EDP has implemented more than 1,700 solar panels impacting more than 6,300 people and avoiding the emission of 220 tons of CO2. Some countries were this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Greece, United States of America • energy poverty projects \- offering energy-saving and energy-efficient solutions in the homes of low-income families - e.g. better insulated windows and doors, more efficient equipments, helping these people to keep their homes at an adequate temperature (and thus preventing various illnesses at the same time. Some countries where this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Romania | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 311| | | | | | | | | | • green impact investment & financial support: impact investment fund and capital donations to support local fair energy transition businesses such as: i. A2E Fund: a fund to support renewable energy projects that promote the environmental, social and economic development of rural communities in developing countries. With 6 editions underway, EDP received over 920 applications and selected 47 projects in Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Angola and Rwanda, investing €4.5m (2018-2024) ii. EDP Solidarity Energy: a fund from the 3 foundations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil that supports innovative, sustainable and impactful projects that contribute to a fairer, more inclusive and socially responsible society, through non-refundable donations. It targets conversion to renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric mobility iii. Hope Fund: a fund that will invest in social purpose organizations with a sustainable business model, that address all types of Fair Energy Transition challenges, with innovative impact solutions in Portugal, Spain and other countries from South America. This investment aims for total/partial capital recovery while traditional philanthropy assumes complete loss of capital from the onset • upskilling and reskilling projects: development of projects within the scope of renewable energy, to meet future labour needs and guarantee that former coal workers, people living in communities close to EDP’s production centres and other minorities have job opportunities. Some countries were this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Italy • educational projects: promotion of educational programs so that new generations (aged 6 to 16) understand the importance of clean energy sources and their role in decarbonising and mitigating climate change. Some of the countries where this project has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Poland • environmental sustainability projects: projects aimed at protecting species or the natural heritage, such as cleaning up beaches and oceans or restoring forests, while helping to maintain and strengthen ecosystem services that benefit local communities. Some examples include an underwater clean-up action in Portugal (breaking a Guinness World Record for the largest number of divers in 12h), which also took place in Spain and Singapore, or the Re.Earth project, a pilot project launched in Portugal to create a local circular economy based on light biomass owned by small local landowners. The smallholders clean up their land with the possibility of selling their agroforestry waste. EDP then uses this biomass to create green energy and heat the facilities of social organisations. At the same time, land clearing contributes greatly to preventing forest fires and their harmful environmental and social consequences. EDP assesses the effectiveness of social investment projects in terms of their ability to create the desired positive impacts on communities through an impact assessment methodology it has developed and which is based on the United Nations SDGs. This methodology is available for project managers to use to assess the impact of their projects on communities. In 2024, EDP promoted a transversal impact measurement project with the support of an external partner to find an impact assessment methodology applicable to all projects and that is easily used by focal points. This project aims to strengthen EDP's impact assessment methodology, addressing the fact that not all projects have a direct correspondence with the SDGs. This project is ongoing and will be implemented by the Q1 2025 and will allow better disclosure of the impact upon communities. The social investment projects developed by EDP and their positive impacts on communities are disclosed in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. In particular, EDP discloses actions taken in North America, Brazil, surroundings of São Manoel Hydroelectric Power Station, La Guajira (Colombia), Greece, etc. in the context of its impact in local and indigenous communities (Social Investment Report 2023; EDP YES Website). In Vietnam, the Government rose funds to support the rebuild after the YAGI Typhoon. A donation of SGD10.000 was made by EDP, but an extra 200,000VND was made to help the population cope with flooding and homelessness due to the typhoon. The Xuan Thien Facility in Ninh Thuan was deeply involved with the community. S3-4_10 - Disclosure of whether and how it is ensured that own practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on affected communities EDP engages with local communities before starting a new project, to deeply diagnose, through independent external studies, the real impacts business will have on the new energy landscape. EDP has a local stakeholder engagement policy, with an extensive list of procedures compulsory throughout the group. Engagement Plans cover a previous DD/ ESIA and will address specific risks. Municipality meetings are held, listening to local topics and aligning the strategy with local powers. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 312| | | | | | | | | | S3-4_11 \- Disclosure of severe human rights issues and incidents connected to affected communities EDP permanently monitors its risks and incidents, eventual crisis and community impacts. They are assessed at international raters surveillance and also through the GRI tables exposed at the Integrated Report, yearly. Some regions have regulation providing report on events occurred: in Brazil, the Risk and Socio- Environmental Impact Management Report (PR.FT.IST.00009) states that there were no issues related to Human Rights or local communities. Finally, EDP provides to all stakeholders, the Speak Up whistleblowing channel to facilitate the sharing of stakeholders’ complaints. During 2024, There were no complains from affected communities. S3-4_12 - Disclosure of resources allocated to management of material impacts EDP discloses the existence of local stakeholder teams and that "Community Gate Keeper monitors the group’s activity towards local populations and reports regularly to the EBD and the GSB on impact achieved or avoided. In its Local stakeholder engagement policy, EDP also discloses the governance model and which roles/teams have responsibilities in relation to the policy which has the premise to engage with communities and diagnose real impacts. EDP carries out several CSR initiatives in the communities affected by its operations, with the aim of preventing, mitigating and remedying any negative impacts and creating a positive impact on those communities. The resources used to realise these initiatives include contributions in cash, in kind and in time (volunteering), as well as management costs that include, among others, the time that EDP employees allocate to managing and monitoring the projects, consultancy services, communication and travel costs that makes it possible to carry out these projects. The resources needed to carry out social investment initiatives are planned annually by the companies that make up the EDP Group, and there is a specific budget for their realisation. This plan is always analysed by a team that coordinates EDP's social investment, ensuring that it complies with the objectives and strategic axes defined for social investment and that it is aligned with the group's social investment policy. EDP has a digital platform that allows employees to report these resources and manage CSR projects, which are then disclosed in the Annual Report, the Social Investment Report and on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. Throughout the year, the use of these resources and compliance with the plan are monitored and internal meetings are held between EDP teams in the various countries where the company operates, to align and share its social investment projects, as well as the implementation of the plan. In addition to the initiatives planned each year, requests for support are also received from communities. These are received and analysed by the social investment coordination team, which assesses the potential support, taking into account the annual investment plan and the group's strategic objectives, as well as the specific needs of the community where the project takes place. Applications for support can be submitted using a form available on the EDP YES website. The preparation of the annual social investment plan, as well as receiving, analysing and supporting unplanned initiatives, is described in an internal Social Investment Management procedure. Projects' CAPEX already comprises the conditioning processes towards social and environmental impact. S3-4_14 - Disclosure of how participation in industry or multi-stakeholder initiative and undertaking's own involvement is aiming to address material impacts Recognizing the importance of ecosystems and biodiversity for maintaining the cycles that sustain life on the planet, as part of its CSR initiatives, EDP has partnerships with several organizations in several countries, supporting projects that aim to conserve natural heritage and rehabilitate wildlife. Throughout 2024, EDP also contributed with several corporate volunteering actions, where EDP employees actively engaged in initiatives focused on protecting ecosystems, such as beach clean- ups or reforestation, in several of the countries where it is present. In 2024, EDP also supported underwater clean-up projects that contributed to the removal of marine litter in Portugal, Spain and Singapore. Forest fires are a significant problem with high social and environmental costs and one major cause is the excessive presence of light biomass (bushes, etc.). However, small producers cannot afford the harvesting and legislation is forcing them to cut the trees in the boundaries of their lands at their own expense. That is turning the forest less profitable, enhancing rural poverty and making people abandon their lands. In order to help mitigate these negative impacts, in 2024, EDP launched the Re.Earth project pilot in Portugal. Through this project, EDP financially rewards producers who carry | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 313| | | | | | | | | | out this removal, also using the collected biomass to bring energy to key structures of the communities, while reducing the possibility of forest fires. EDP also supports awareness/education projects on biodiversity and the circular economy, or projects that promote knowledge about the consequences of climate change and the role of renewable energy in its mitigation. EDP's educational initiatives span several countries, aiming to equip young minds with knowledge about sustainable energy technologies. These programs utilize innovative approaches such as interactive sessions, practical projects, and virtual reality to engage participants and foster a deeper appreciation for sustainable energy solutions. One example is the Energy Academy program, an educational activity that aims to explain to young people the difference between the different types of energy generation technologies. The sessions consist of leading students through the world of renewable energies using children's characters representing solar, hydraulic, wind, geothermal and biomass energy, accompanied by videos and interactive presentations allowing them to learn about their different characteristics in an easy and attractive way. As part of this program, a dedicated website was also developed, where students and teachers can find the content to be used in the sessions. Another initiative is the 'Conversas com Energia' (Conversations with Energy) in Portugal, aimed at promoting knowledge and dialogue around the challenges of the climate emergency, energy, and sustainability. Each session is a unique experience that promotes debate between a group of young people and a different speaker about the past, present, and future of our planet. These initiatives are disclosed on the EDP YES website, under the YES to the Planet axis, as well as in the annual social investment report. S3-4_15 - Disclosure of whether and how affected communities play role in decisions regarding design and implementation of programmes or investments When preparing and deciding on the implementation of social investment projects, both those developed by EDP (its own projects) and in the case of projects developed by external organisations supported by EDP, local communities are consulted/involved in this process. For example, when local communities are impacted by the construction of a new energy production site, or even on assets already in operation, local stakeholders, namely local authorities, are contacted to better understand their needs and expectations in order to develop the projects that best fit their needs - EDP even has a portfolio of initiatives that is presented to local stakeholders. These action plans serve to ensure good relations with local communities for projects in operation, and also serve to facilitate the processing of new projects and obtaining the social licence to operate in these locations. EDP' Social investment projects are communicated to the various stakeholders through the EDP Y.E.S - You Empower Society website, ensuring an integrated narrative about the EDP Group’s social investment. In its Social Investment Report, EDP discloses information about several initiatives that includes details about engagement with communities. S3-4_16 - Information about intended or achieved positive outcomes of programmes or investments for affected communities Below, for EDP's global social investment programmes, are the respective positive impacts on local communities: • Solidarity Solar Project - implementation of solar panels to bring the benefits of solar (in self- consumption or solar communities) in schools, rural or disadvantaged communities or social organization all over the world. EDP has implemented more than 1,700 solar panels impacting more than 6,300 people and avoiding the emission of 220 tons of CO2. Some countries were this has been developed: Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Greece, United States of America. • Energy Inclusion Project - offering energy-saving and energy-efficient solutions in the homes of low-income families - e.g. better insulated windows and doors, more efficient equipments, helping these people to keep their homes at an adequate temperature (and thus preventing various illnesses at the same time. EDP has intervened in more than 820 homes, impacting more than 3,000 people. Some countries where this has been developed: Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Poland and Romania. • A2E Fund - a fund to support renewable energy projects that promote the environmental, social and economic development of rural communities in developing countries. With 6 editions underway, EDP received over 920 applications and selected 47 projects in Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Angola and Rwanda, investing €4.5m (2018-2024); These projects have impacted more than 8 million people. • EDP Solidarity Energy - a fund from the 3 foundations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil that supports innovative, sustainable and impactful projects that contribute to a fairer, more inclusive and socially responsible society, through non-refundable donations. It targets conversion to renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric mobility. Since 2004, 744 projects have been realised, impacting more than 2.4 million people • Upskilling and Reskilling Projects - Development of projects within the scope of renewable energy, to meet future labour needs and guarantee that former coal workers, people living in communities close to EDP’s production centres and other minorities have job opportunities. It also | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 314| | | | | | | | | | contributes to population retention in rural areas, by creating local employment opportunities. Some countries where this has been developed: Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Italy, United States of America. • Energy Academy Project: educational activity that aims to explain to young people the difference between the different types of energy generation technologies and make them understand the importance of clean energy sources and their role in decarbonization and mitigating climate change. The sessions consist of leading students through the world of renewable energies using children's characters representing solar, hydraulic, wind, geothermal and biomass energy, accompanied by videos and interactive presentations allowing them to learn about their different characteristics in an easy and attractive way. As part of this program, a dedicated website was also developed, where students and teachers can find the content to be used in the sessions. Some countries where this has been developed: Portugal, Spain and Brazil. • Environmental sustainability projects: projects aimed at protecting species or the natural heritage, such as cleaning up beaches and oceans or restoring forests, while helping to maintain and strengthen ecosystem services that benefit local communities. Some examples include an underwater clean-up action in Portugal (breaking a Guinness World Record for the largest number of divers in 12h), which also took place in Spain and Singapore, or the Re.Earth project, a pilot project launched in Portugal to create a local circular economy based on light biomass owned by small local landowners. The smallholders clean up their land with the possibility of selling their agroforestry waste. EDP then uses this biomass to create green energy and heat the facilities of social organisations. At the same time, land clearing contributes greatly to preventing forest fires and their harmful environmental and social consequences. The social investment projects developed by EDP and their positive impacts on communities are disclosed in more detail in the Social Investment Report. It is also possible to find information about EDP' social investment projects on the EDP YES - You Empower Society - website. S3-4_17 - Explanation of the approximate scope of affected communities covered by the described social investment or development programmes, and, where applicable, the rationale for why selected communities were chosen The scope of communities benefiting from EDP' social investment programmes include those affected by the closure/opening of new power stations, communities in developing countries, indigenous communities, people with some type of vulnerability in the communities impacted by EDP's operations (homeless, low-income, affected by some type of physical or mental illness, elderly people or those in a situation of social exclusion), local social entrepreneurs, emergency relief teams, among others. The rationale for selecting the communities includes: • Communities who reside or work in the area of a given EDP project • Communities impacted positively or negatively by EDP operations • Communities in places where EDP intends to expand its business and obtain a social license to operate • Communities with which EDP intends to improve relations and obtain their goodwill • Communities in which EDP intends to reinforce its brand awareness. In its Social Investment Report, EDP discloses information about various CSR programs and initiatives, as well as the communities covered. S3-4_19 - Description of internal functions that are involved in managing impacts and types of action taken by internal functions to address negative and advance positive impacts The existence of local stakeholder teams is monitored by the Community Gate Keeper, over the group’s activity towards local populations. The group reports to the EBD and the GSB on impact achieved or avoided. In its Local stakeholder engagement policy, EDP also discloses the governance model and which roles/teams have responsibilities in relation to the policy which has the premise to engage with communities and diagnose real impacts. E.G., The CRC, “Community Relations Coordinator” figure was created in North America for EDP to be close to any situation needed to address throughout the region." In addition to the functions described in the Local stakeholder engagement policy, EDP also created an office dedicated to defining the global social investment strategy - Social Impact Coordination Office - aiming to maximize the EDP Group's social impact, ensuring the alignment of all vehicles of social investment of the EDP Group, including its Foundations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil (Instituto EDP). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 315| | | | | | | | | | S3.MDR-T_01-13 - Targets set to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to affected communities In 2021, EDP carried out a review of its social investment strategy, with the support of external consultants who brought together all internal stakeholders involved in social investment projects. From this joint work, an objective was defined to invest around €30m/year in social impact projects, between 2021 and 2030, focusing mainly on supporting projects related to the Fair Energy Transition, in line with the company's business area, and should represent around 45% of the investment. At the same time, EDP maintains access to culture as a fundamental axis of its social strategy, as it believes in the positive impact of culture on the development of society. Subsequently, in 2022, EDP presented its public commitment to invest more than €300m (corresponding to €30m per year) by 2030 in social investment projects, demonstrating its commitment to accelerating decarbonization and achieving carbon neutrality, leaving no one behind. In addition, a corporate department was also created responsible for supervising, coordinating and executing social investment projects at the global level of the group in the various countries. The teams involved in social investment projects also have a digital platform where they report their initiatives, investments and results achieved. Compliance with investment objectives is permanently monitored by the corporate team, and the EDP Group's Business Units and Foundations are also involved and informed in periodic meetings to monitor the objectives set. The focus on projects that promote access to clean energy in developing countries is another commitment that was reinforced: given the impact of Access to Energy projects on the benefiting communities, EDP's executive board of directors decided to double the budget available in 2022, in the 4th edition of the A2E Fund (Access to Energy) to €1m, this being the amount available annually for subsequent editions. In addition to the increase in the overall value, the value to be awarded per selected application was also increased to between 50 thousand and 150 thousand euros. This is a significant change that will allow the development of more robust projects with greater impact on communities, both in terms of the number of organizations supported and the number of people benefiting. All supported projects present periodic reports describing the activities carried out, costs incurred and photographic samples proving execution. Until the 5th edition, some projects were selected for a physical visit by an EDP manager designated for monitoring. For the 6th edition (2024/2025), local consultants were hired to monitor all projects selected in this edition. In addition to these global investment targets, specific targets are also defined for each project, namely in terms of outputs (e.g. number of beneficiaries to be reached, installed capacity) or impact indicators that are appropriate to the scope of the project (e.g. number of jobs created), with the progress and achievement of these targets being monitored by project managers. In the case of a project from an external entity supported by EDP, the results of the targets are determined by the external entity (sometimes with the support of EDP) and communicated by the entities to EDP, as provided for in the protocols signed with the entities at the beginning of the project. S3-5_01 - Disclosure of whether and how affected communities were engaged directly in setting targets In some cases, while negotiating with local authorities and local population, the targets are designed as a team work, with specific goals addressed by both sides. When such is the case, they’ll be specifically addressed at the Action Plan, which is then public evidence. For the social investment projects developed or supported by EDP, specific targets are set appropriate to the scope of the project, both in terms of outputs (e.g. number of beneficiaries to be reached, installed capacity) and outcomes (e.g. number of jobs created). These targets are defined prior to the realisation of the projects and, both in EDP's own projects and in projects developed by external entities supported by EDP, local communities are consulted/involved in their definition. For example, when local communities are impacted by the construction of a new energy production site, or even on assets already in operation, local stakeholders, namely local authorities, are contacted to better understand their needs and expectations in order to develop the projects that best fit their needs (EDP even has a portfolio of initiatives that is presented to stakeholders). Once the most suitable project has been selected, specific targets are set together with the stakeholders to gauge whether the project has contributed to achieving what was intended and addressing local needs. These action plans serve to ensure good relations with local communities for projects in operation, and also serve to facilitate the processing of new projects and obtaining the social licence to operate in these locations. S3-5_02 - Disclosure of whether and how affected communities were engaged directly in tracking performance against targets Some cases specify at the engagement plan, other just rely on local communication/ reputation and regular public evaluation, disclosed at internal and external reports. In addition to the joint definition (EDP and local stakeholders) of metrics and targets for social investment projects, the same applies to their follow-up and measurement. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 316| | | | | | | | | | For example, in the case of a project developed by an external organisation in local communities, with the support of EDP, the results of the targets are measured by the external organisation and communicated to EDP's project managers. The targets set and the need to monitor their progress and reporting are even included in the collaboration protocols signed between EDP and the external organisations, even before the project begins. In the case of EDP's own projects, the progress and realisation of the targets set are monitored and reported on by EDP's project managers with the support of local stakeholders. EDP project managers also have access to an internal digital platform where they report on the social investment initiatives for which they are responsible, including the results of the indicators and the achievement of the defined targets. S3-5_03 - Disclosure of whether and how affected communities were engaged directly in identifying lessons or improvements as result of undertaking’s performance Depending on the investment rate, or the risks taken, there are further assessments done by external entities. When that is not the case, local teams hear the population regularly to further identify and address any discomforts, or acknowledge achievements – these are usually shared with local media and internal networks upon timeline landmarks. After contacting local communities and listening to their perception of what went well and what could have been done differently, EDP project managers are also encouraged to share lessons learned and best practices internally within the scope of their projects. These are shared in regular meetings held between project managers from the various EDP companies in different countries, as well as on the digital platform for reporting social investment initiatives, which has its own field for this purpose. An example is the Energy Transition Project from Águeda, central Portugal. Identifying impacts that were not addressed previously, EDP and the Municipality reached an agreement for new initiative to be develloped under the action plan, enhancing the mitigation and strengthening the local population quality of life. S3-5_04 - Disclosure of intended outcomes to be achieved in lives of affected communities The methodology disclosed in S3-4_04 is available for project managers to assess the impact of their projects on communities, ensuring that the same indicators and respective targets are used for projects with similar desired effects, making it possible to collect the same type of data in a comparable way over time. These indicators and the achievement of established targets are reported on a digital platform that ensures that there is a history over time. The chosen indicators and respective targets are applied depending on the type of project and include measuring and setting targets for output indicators: e.g. number of direct and indirect beneficiaries, average learning hours per person (h), Installed renewable energy (kWp), number of jobs created, Recovered natural area (ha). The progress and achievement of the targets are monitored by project managers. EDP assesses the achievement of defined targets in terms of their ability to create the desired outcomes on communities, through an impact assessment methodology it has developed and which is based on the United Nations SDGs. In 2024, EDP promoted a transversal project to review its impact measurement methodology with the support of an external partner to find an impact assessment methodology applicable to all projects and that is easily used by focal points. This project aims to strengthen EDP's impact assessment methodology, addressing the fact that not all projects have a direct correspondence with the SDGs. This project is ongoing and will be implemented by the Q1 2025 and will allow better disclosure of the impact upon communities. S3-5_05 - Information about stability over time of target in terms of definitions and methodologies to enable comparability EDP assesses the effectiveness of social investment projects in terms of their ability to create the desired positive impacts on communities, through an impact assessment methodology it has developed and which is based on the United Nations SDGs. This methodology is available for project managers to assess the impact of their projects on communities, ensuring that the same indicators and respective targets are used for projects with similar desired effects, making it possible to collect the same type of data in a comparable way over time. These indicators and the achievement of | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 317| | | | | | | | | | established targets are then reported on a digital platform that ensures that there is a history over time. In 2024, EDP promoted a transversal impact measurement project with the support of an external partner to find an impact assessment methodology applicable to all projects and easily used by the focal points. This project aims to strengthen EDP's impact assessment methodology by reinforcing existing indicators, always with the premise of maintaining the standardisation of the indicators used and comparability over time. This project is underway and will be implemented by the 1st quarter of 2025 and will allow for better dissemination of the impact on communities. S3-5_06 - Disclosure of references to standards or commitments on which target is based EDP assesses the effectiveness of social investment projects and the achievement of defined targets in terms of their ability to create the desired positive impacts on communities, through an impact assessment methodology it has developed and which is based on the United Nations SDGs. EDP also follows the impact measurement methodology developed by B4SI - Business for Societal Impact. The B4SI framework is a structured approach for companies to measure and report their social impact, namely through investment in the business community (ICC), investments in innovation of the company's products, services or operations, as well as operating expenses with procurement processes, which create a clearly defined and demonstrable social impact. The B4SI categorises activities into inputs, outputs and impacts, providing guidance on how to assess the resources contributed (inputs), the immediate results achieved (outputs) and the long-term changes brought about by these activities (impacts). B4SI emphasises the alignment of community investments with broader business strategies to ensure that they not only benefit society, but also contribute to the company's long-term objectives. EDP also has a transversal project underway with the aim of strengthening its impact measurement methodology, with the support of an external partner for this purpose. In addition to the SDGs, this methodology is also based on the Impact Management Project (IMP) framework. From 2016 to 2018, the Impact Management Project (IMP) brought together a Community of Practitioners of more than 3,000 companies and investors to build a global consensus on how we measure, improve and publicise our positive and negative impacts (also known as ‘impact management’). The resulting consensus (or ‘standards’) provides a common logic to help companies and investors understand their impacts on people and the planet, so they can reduce the negative and increase the positive. EDP's Social Investment policy, which establishes the objectives, corporate strategies and regulations relating to EDP's social investment, and which is publicly available on the edp.com website, also describes the internal and external references in which the policy has been taken into consideration/aligned (section 4. References): External References The Social Investment Policy applies the principles and methodologies referred to in the following documents: • ISO 26000 – Social Responsibility • Principles for Responsible Investment – United Nations • Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – United Nations • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines • B4SI – Business for Societal Impact Internal References The Social Investment Policy must be interpreted in conjunction with the following EDP policies and commitments: • Principles of Sustainable Development • EDP Group Integrity Policy • Social Investment Management Procedure • EDP Group Stakeholder Relationship Policy and Stakeholder Segmentation Model • Local Stakeholder Engagement Policy • EDP Group Stakeholder Management Methodology Guide (includes Local Stakeholder Engagement Plan) • EDP Group Interest Representation Policy • EDP Group Code of Ethics • Materiality Guide for the EDP Group | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 318| | | | | | | | | | • Volunteering Policy • EDP's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals • Statutes of Fundação EDP, Fundación EDP and Instituto EDP • Procedure for Integrity Due Diligence of Third Parties and Employee Candidates (IDD) • Procedure for Relationship with Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) • Procedure for Donations and Sponsorships • Procedure for Prevention and Management of Conflicts of Interest. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 319| | | | | | | | | | ESRS S4 Consumers and end-users S4.SBM-3_01 \- All consumers and end-users who can be materially impacted by undertaking are included in scope of disclosure under ESRS 2 / S4.SBM-3_02 - Description of types of consumers and end-users subject to material impacts / S4.SBM-3_03 - Type of consumers and end-users subject to material impacts by own operations or through value chain EDP serves a variety of consumers and end-users, including both residential and business customers, from a range of products and services, spanning from energy supply to solutions in energy efficiency, electric mobility, and decentralized solar energy. In Iberia, the regulatory framework defines the separation of distribution (regulated market), supply (liberalised and regulated market) and supply in the regulated market. While, in Portugal, EDP operates in the three activities through independent companies, in Spain it is present in distribution (regulated market) and supply (liberalised market). In Brazil, in the states of São Paulo and Espírito Santo, EDP operates in the regulated market, in distribution and supply, as well as in supply in the liberalized market. All these consumers (e.g..: domestic, industrial, small and medium-sized enterprises) and end-users (e.g..: local communities, promoter) of the distribution and commercial system operators are included in the scope of the disclosure. Regarding vulnerable customers, EDP thoroughly applies the service guarantees specified by regulation and which aim to protect priority customers from interruptions in the supply of energy (Chapter X, sections I and II - Customers with special needs and priority customers of the Regulation on Service Quality in the Electricity and Natural Gas sector). Priority customers of EDP include health services, security forces, firefighters, civil protection, maritime and air safety, and penitentiary facilities. These customers are protected from energy supply interruptions and receive priority in service restoration. EDP adapts its information and communication systems to ensure that customers with disabilities, such as those with limited vision, hearing, oral communication, or olfactory deficits, receive the same levels of quality service and rights as other customers in accordance with Chapter X, sections I and II \- Customers with special needs and priority customers of the Regulation on Service Quality in the Electric and Natural Gas sector. S4.SBM-3_04 - Material negative impacts occurrence (consumers and end-users) There is a risk of incidents involving customers who purchase products or services from EDP, ranging from misuse of the product or service to equipment malfunctions, service interruptions, or accidents with serious consequences for customers. Additionally, while contractual agreements are in place to prevent misuse of customer information by service providers, there remains a risk of inappropriate handling. To mitigate these impacts, EDP implements robust measures such as proactive maintenance of equipment, clear user guidance, service continuity plans, and strict data protection protocols. These efforts align with the company’s commitment to ensuring safety, reliability, and trust in its operations. Furthermore, electricity supply service interruptions or disruptions can occur, and complaints (both technical and commercial) may be subject to compensation. Delays in connection requests are subject to a penalty system, and the unavailability of data to the market is also subject to penalties. S4.SBM-3_05 - Description of activities that result in positive impacts and types of consumers and end-users that are positively affected or could be positively affected EDP's products/services, in general, have a positive impact on the business and lives of customers and society, since they involve improving the energy efficiency and self consumption through tools available online that help customers improve their energy management (solutions such as being part of solar communities, all household electric appliances). S4.SBM-3_06 - Description of material risks and opportunities arising from impacts and dependencies on consumers and end-users The double materiality assessment identified several opportunities, such as portfolio diversification, which allows a company to capture a broader customer base. The shift in consumer behaviour, with a focus on sustainability, drives demand for sustainable products and services. Prioritizing customer satisfaction and offering solutions positions a company for growth and competitiveness, enhancing its reputation as a brand. Additionally, grievance mechanisms allow consumers and end-users to voice concerns or report issues, allowing for timely resolution and building trust and accountability. The material risks stem from energy price volatility, which can impact financial performance, investments, supply chain, compliance, and competitiveness.

To enhance price stability, the company employs risk management strategies such as long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and hedging mechanisms, minimizing exposure to market fluctuations. Additionally, EDP collaborates with regulators to advocate for structural solutions that ensure affordability, such as government- supported social tariffs and targeted energy efficiency incentives. Action plans: • Provision of a simulator to our customer service channels, allowing us to inform customers in a personalized manner about the impact of price updates on their bills. Upon customer request, EDP strives to ensure the best possible price conditions, which may involve migrating the customer to an offer with more advantageous pricing conditions • Close monitoring of customer service channels during price review periods, particularly focusing on the volume of inquiries and complaints related to prices, customer doubts, etc. This information is used to improve procedures, enhance the information provided to customers, and strengthen training for service channels • Offering a diverse portfolio of plans, with the ability to choose between energy plans with prices indexed to the market (greater savings in contexts of price drops in the wholesale market) or fixed-price energy plans (greater protection in the event of price increases in the wholesale market), and free migration between plans depending on market conditions. Regarding networks, the security and quality of supply are key aspects for customers and end-users for that reason, EDP is developing smarter and more resilient grids to support the energy transition. EDP will implement innovative technology solutions in an integrated manner to develop smarter grids that are more flexible and reliable, which meet the growing decentralised generation and the increase in extreme weather events.

Investment in solar energy solutions reduces customers' exposure to market price fluctuations and can help reduce grid energy consumption by up to 30%. In solutions with a battery that stores unused energy, savings can reach up to 70%. EDP is a partner for customers in more efficient energy use at home. Highlighting the EDP Efficient Home project, where we present a range of actions that allow customers to reduce their energy bill and increase thermal comfort, according to the type of investment they wish to make. Solar Neighbourhoods, created in 2020, are collective self-consumption communities where solar energy, and thus renewable energy, is produced and shared among its members. Each neighbourhood consists of producers and neighbours. The neighbours/families or businesses near the producer benefit from the creation of this community by receiving a discount on the electricity they self- consume from the neighbourhood, simply by joining this community, which incurs no cost. In terms of networks, one of the key aspects that make the quality of service is the continuity of supply in terms of the number and duration of supply interruptions. The index that measures this service - Interruption Time Equivalent to Installed Capacity (TIEPI) - in 2024 was 50.7 minutes in Portugal (including extraordinary events) and 18.75 minutes in Spain. These data show EDP's firm commitment to continue strengthening the quality of supply offered to our consumers. These figures are the result of the investments made by EDP in new electricity infrastructures and in the maintenance and renewal of existing ones, as well as our ambitious digitalization plan. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 328| | | | | | | | | | S4-4_05 \- Description of approach to identifying what action is needed and appropriate in response to particular actual or potential material negative impact on consumers and end-users In Portugal, since 2010, legislation has provided for the application of a social tariff for electricity and natural gas, which translates into a discount granted to economically vulnerable customers on the access tariff.The process to access the social tariff was facilitated in 2016, with the expansion of eligibility criteria and its automatic allocation. The discount is equivalent to 33.8% of the gross price of the transitory regulated market tariffs. On the natural gas supply, the benefit also exists and is equivalent to 31.2% discount on the final customers invoice. In Brazil, the Social Tariff was implemented in 2002 and consists of a benefit created by the Federal Government applicable to low-income families. This is a discount on the tariff applicable to the residential class of the electricity distributors, which can vary between 10%, 40% and 65%, according to the consumption of each residence, up to a maximum of 220 kWh/month. Indigenous and Quilombola families who meet the specified requirements benefit, in turn, from a 100% discount up to a consumption limit of 50 kWh/month. Focusing on the continuity of supply, EDP monitors several reliability indices utilized worldwide, e.g., the System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), which measures how often the average customer experiences a sustained interruption; the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), which computes the average time that customers’ service is interrupted. The importance of this monitoring from different geographical hierarchies allows EDP to identify priority areas where network investment should be prioritized. The large area and the orography of our grids represent an additional challenge for the necessary management of the protection of the grids. We conduct continuous preventive inspections of our grids and entering partnerships with our business partners and competent authorities to implement solutions that will protect consumers and local communities. Additional information in S4-3_01 and S4-4_01. S4-4_06 \- Description of approach to taking action in relation to specific material impacts on consumers and end-users EDP plan the updates in their distribution power networks, assessing not only the expected impact on supply quality indicators, but also the cost of the different possibilities considered. To this end, Networks have a planning method with specific prioritization criteria to improve the quality of supply in distribution power networks taking in consideration key aspects such as 1) Modernization, 2) Resilience and Environmental 3) Decarbonization & electrification 4) Digital transformation and 5) Grid Losses. Depending on the valuation of the investment, there are different levels of approval, the Board being the highest. Additional information in S4-3_01, S4-4_01 and S4-4_04. S4-4_07 \- Description of approach to ensuring that processes to provide or enable remedy in event of material negative impacts on consumers and end-users are available and effective in their implementation and outcomes The approach to ensuring processes for providing or enabling remedy in cases of material negative impacts on consumers and end-users is determined on a case-by-case basis. While there is no single defined methodology, the organization maintains a mindset focused on effective implementation. Each department applies specific methodologies tailored to their areas, such as environment, quality, safety, risk, and business continuity. The Integrated Management System for the Commercial Area (SIGAC) facilitates alignment and convergence across these approaches, enhancing their availability and effectiveness. Power outages are mainly due to planned power infrastructure upgrades, which are planned to minimize the number of customers affected, and to blackouts, which are unpredictable power outages due to, for example, material degradation, storms, wind, birds and vandalism. In the case of planned network cuts EDP has several communication channels to inform customers and end- consumers of scheduled supply interruptions, including the interactive web map that shows all power interruptions caused by scheduled maintenance work and network faults. The data shows the number of customers affected by the outage and the expected time to restore service, at the time it is known. The availability of customer service channels 365 days a year, 24 hours a day allows us to be aware of unscheduled outages in which we make the properly mitigation measures. S4-4_08 \- Description of what action is planned or underway to mitigate material risks arising from impacts and dependencies on consumers and end-users and how effectiveness is tracked EDP is implementing innovative technology solutions in an integrated manner to develop smarter grids that are more flexible and reliable, focus on solid frameworks with proactive regulatory management, ongoing projects to achieve full automation and remote operation and creation and adaptation of existing infrastructures to play a key role in the energy transition. Today, smart grids | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 329| | | | | | | | | | are at the heart of more secure, sustainable and efficient distribution with the focus on business continuity without interruptions. Combining traditional electrical equipment, with > 90% smart meters and modern telecommunications systems (network sensorization) with continuous network automation and digital transformation projects (eg. ADMS, GIS, IA in Field inspections) allows EDP Networks to receive information remotely and manage energy distribution more efficiently in real time, which has a direct impact on the continuity of supply and the quality of service that we offer to our customers and end-consumers. EDP also offers a diverse range of personalized energy solutions for homes and businesses, focusing on sustainability and efficiency. With green energy plans, 24/7 maintenance services, loyalty programs, and innovative energy efficiency solutions, EDP aims to retain its customers by providing savings, security, and excellent customer service. S4-4_09 \- Description of what action is planned or underway to pursue material opportunities in relation to consumers and end-users EDP continues to invest in efficient equipment services, decentralized solar energy, and electric mobility, leveraging its customer base and expanding its active client portfolio in these categories. Examples include the launch of the Mixenergy solar water heater, the growth of solar neighbourhoods, and ME solutions tailored to corporate fleets. These efforts are guided by a commitment to circularity, sustainability, and lifecycle thinking, ensuring that products and services are designed and managed to minimize environmental impact and maximize value creation throughout their lifecycle. This approach supports a more sustainable future while addressing consumer and end-user needs. Self- consumption – Energy production for own consumption Consumers connected to EDP networks can produce their own electricity locally from a renewable energy source such as a solar panel. The energy produced can be consumed locally, stored, sold or shared as collective self-consumption or as part of a renewable energy unit. The electricity grid is the key element and facilitator that allows the sharing and sale of energy produced, the reduction of electricity bills and the reduction of the carbon footprint. At the end of 2024, more than 245 thousand self-consumption installations were connected to the distribution network. Integration of renewable energies The use of endogenous (domestic) and renewable sources is the basis of our energy matrix (all the energy resources available in Iberia). One of the most effective forms of decarbonisation is the production of electricity from renewable sources, distributed throughout Iberia (distributed generation) and connected to the distribution network, making it possible to make better use of resources, bringing production and consumption closer together (reducing losses) and helping with local management between demand and supply. At the end of 2024, 9,044MVA of distributed renewable generation was connected to the grid. Smart meters With almost 99% of deployment to prepare the electricity grid for the energy transformation, with the aim of: • sensing flows and events on the grid and managing the grid in real time • integrate new forms of production • enable all stakeholders to manage consumption efficiently • ensure greater convenience for customers and a reduction in CO2 emissions by remotely carrying out readings and other services, such as contract changes. S4-4_10 \- Disclosure of whether and how it is ensured that own practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on consumers and end-users EDP bases its business on energy efficiency principles, contributing positively to the EDP Group's carbon neutrality goals. All solutions provided to clients adhere to these guidelines, ensuring that material impacts are positive. Additionally, various specialities—such as environment, safety, sustainability, engineering, and operations & maintenance—are actively involved to ensure that underlying risks are thoroughly considered. This collaborative approach enables the implementation of appropriate measures across the entire value chain, reinforcing the commitment to avoiding or mitigating potential negative impacts on consumers and end-users. As a concrete example, in the context of residential solar installation, flyers outlining essential safety rules are distributed to clients before any installation activity begins. The installation team conducts a brief safety induction for the client and places a visible sign highlighting the key safety rules that | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Social information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 330| | | | | | | | | | must be followed by the client and any third parties. This proactive approach enhances safety awareness, ensuring compliance with best practices and reinforcing our commitment to responsible operations. S4-4_12 \- Disclosure of resources allocated to management of material impacts With the new Strategic Plan 2024-2026, EDP committed on enhancing the role of grids with almost €3 Bn euros investment for improvements in terms of quality, resilience, efficiency, and digitization. The aim is to support the increase in electricity demand and effectively manage the expected growth in renewable capacity. S4.MDR-T_01-13 \- Targets set to manage material impacts, risks and opportunities related to consumers and end-users EDP has assumed a leading role in the energy transition, with ambitious commitments that include dropping coal production by 2025, becoming 100% renewable by 2030, and being Net Zero by 2040, advancing the targets set in the Paris Agreement. Therefore, EDP pursues the Net Zero commitment by 2040, for which, in addition to decarbonising our own activities, we will provide our customers with low-carbon solutions, and we will explore the absorption and offsetting role for residual emissions. There are previously defined objectives with associated metrics, such as reducing avoided CO2 emissions, maintaining a high customer satisfaction index (>75%), increasing the ratio between B2C customers with electricity and sustainable services versus B2C customers with electricity only, increasing installed DG capacity for B2B and B2C and increasing EV charging points (100 thousand installed by 2030).

G1-1_02 - Description of the mechanisms for identifying, reporting and investigating concerns about unlawful behaviour or behaviour in contradiction of its code of conduct or similar internal rules The company has established comprehensive mechanisms for identifying, reporting, and investigating concerns about unlawful behaviour or behaviour that contradicts its code of Ethics or similar internal rules. These mechanisms are designed to ensure transparency, confidentiality, and integrity throughout the process. Concerns can be reported through the company's Speak Up Channels (including the Ethics Channel at EDP Brasil), which are accessible to all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and other third parties. These channels allow for anonymous reporting, ensuring that the identity of the whistleblower is protected unless disclosure is required by law. Once a complaint is received, it undergoes a preliminary analysis to determine its validity. If the complaint is found to be without serious grounds, it is closed, and the complainant is informed. If the complaint is valid, an investigation is conducted independently and objectively to determine the credibility of the complaint. This process involves collecting, analysing, and investigating the facts rigorously. In cases of urgency and seriousness, appropriate measures are taken to protect the interests of the company and the parties involved. The investigation process is managed by the Ethics & Compliance Officer and the Ethics Commission, ensuring that all complaints are handled impartially and without conflicts of interest. The investigation results in a decision by the Ethics Commission, which may classify the complaint as founded, unfounded, false, inconclusive, or not investigated. The process is finalized when the complaint is closed in the Speak Up Channels support tool, and the whistleblower is informed within the legally prescribed time limits. There is also a follow up with the Management Teams, made by the Ethics & Compliance, of the action plan proposed by the Ethics Commission when applicable. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Governance information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 334| | | | | | | | | | G1-1_05 \- Disclosure of safeguards for reporting irregularities including whistleblowing protection The company is committed to ensuring robust safeguards for reporting irregularities, including whistleblowing protection.

The group’s Integrity Policy is approved by the Executive Board of Directors, periodically reviewed (last review conducted in 2023), made available to all employees - being a mandatory reading document, with registration of acknowledgement - and is available on the EDP website. This Policy reinforces the zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption or bribery practices, clarifies the prohibition of facilitation payments, and details the principles related to the prevention of conflicts of interest, donations and sponsorships, contributions to political parties, prevention of money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism, as well as guidelines regarding the performance of integrity due diligence of third parties, the relationship with politically exposed persons (PEPs), the acceptance and allocation of offers and invitations to events, and the monitoring of international sanctions. As to whistleblowing, the Integrity Policy reinforces the principle of non-retaliation, listing the different available channels at the internal and external levels, and addresses the process of investigating potential non-compliance situations and identifying and implementing any corrective actions. The principles and guidelines set out in the Integrity Policy are embodied in specific internal procedures: • third-party integrity due diligence procedure, namely suppliers, business partners/ counterparties, beneficiaries of sponsorship/ donations, employee applicants and other third parties, evaluating the various integrity risks (if necessary, using specialized external consultants), foresees the analysis of possible existing legal proceedings, adverse news, involvement with PEPs, inclusion in sanctions lists, situations of conflict of interest, etc. The analysis carried out results in the assignment of a rating and the issuance of an opinion that includes specific recommendations regarding the approval of the transaction, the adequacy of its contractual conditions, and the monitoring of the contract's execution • procedure for relations with PEPs provides for specific rules of action, foreseeing the need to record and communicate certain types of interaction • procedure for offers and invitations to events defines rules of action and thresholds for its award and acceptance, as well as review and approval mechanisms • procedure for the attribution of donations and sponsorships, requires an integrity due diligence of the respective beneficiaries as well as the monitoring of the actual application of the support granted • procedure for conflict-of-interests management establishes rules that guarantee impartiality and transparency in decision-making and to prevent misconduct or inappropriate behaviour. • compliance due diligence procedure for entering new countries/ investment decisions establishes the general rules regarding compliance risk analysis associated with the entry of the EDP Group into new countries or with investment decisions, and to implement the respective risk management mechanisms. • whistleblowing management policy and procedure define the principles of action and rules to be followed in the management of complaints received and in the investigation process, involving five phases: preliminary analysis, documentary investigation, interviews, investigation, and the release of a final report. G1-3_02 - Investigators or investigating committee are separate from chain of management involved in prevention and detection of corruption or bribery The Ethics Commission is the body responsible for managing complaints and reports. This commission is composed of three independent members from the General and Supervisory Board, ensuring their independence and impartiality from the executive management bodies. To assist the mission of the Ethics Committee, the Ethics & Compliance Officer, supported by an internal investigation team and, when necessary, specialized external teams, prepares the reports about the cases that will be evaluated and deliberated upon by the Ethics Commission. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Governance information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 337| | | | | | | | | | G1-3_03 - Information about process to report outcomes to administrative, management and supervisory bodies The company has established a comprehensive process to report outcomes of whistleblowing investigations to administrative, management, and supervisory bodies. The Ethics & Compliance Officer (ECO) is responsible for managing the whistleblowing management system and ensuring compliance with applicable legislation and internal policies. The ECO promotes the regular analysis of global information on contacts received through whistleblowing channels and prepares opinions on cases of breach of the Code of Ethics for analysis by the Ethics Commission. The ECO prepares a consolidated report on cases of infringement of the Code of Ethics, which is sent quarterly to the Executive Board of Directors (EBD) and annually to the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee (CGSC) for information. This report includes the total number of complaints received, their classification, the measures taken, and their status. Additionally, the Ethics & Compliance periodically reports on its activity in the context of the complaints it deals with. This ensures that the outcomes of whistleblowing investigations are communicated effectively to the relevant administrative, management, and supervisory bodies, maintaining the highest standards of transparency and accountability. G1-3_05 - Information about how policies are communicated to those for whom they are relevant (prevention and detection of corruption or bribery) The organization's anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies are effectively communicated to all employees through a combination of mandatory training programs, internal communication tools, and easily accessible policy documentation. Additionally, all employees are required to acknowledge the Integrity Policy. The communication measures include integration into the onboarding process, ongoing awareness campaigns, and the availability of policies on the company intranet. For instance, to mark Anti-Corruption Day, an initiative was launched that referred to the policies available on the group's intranet, further strengthening awareness. G1-3_06 \- Information about nature, scope and depth of anti-corruption or anti- bribery training programmes offered or required The organization's anti-corruption and anti-bribery training is transversal and mandatory for all employees and cover key topics, including the identification and prevention of corruption and bribery. In 2024, the training program “How I Met Integrity II” was launched. This training allows employees to reflect on situations that may involve illicit acts or improper/unethical conduct and learn how should act to comply with the Integrity Policy. The Integrity Policy outlines the guiding principles for addressing anti-corruption or anti-bribery within the EDP Group.

However, there are specific exceptions that may alter this term, namely: • individual agreements with suppliers, adjusted to the particularities of contracts or partnerships | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Governance information| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 340| | | | | | | | | | • regulatory requirements, especially in sectors or geographies where local regulations must be respected • specific conditions agreed for critical supplies, such as strategic services or emergency situations. Payments are primarily processed through the ERP system (SAP) where the rules are parameterised in the system. This mechanism ensures that payments are made in accordance with the defined contractual conditions, reinforcing EDP's commitment to good practices and transparency. Average payment term in days Currently, the global average term has not been consolidated for all geographies due to the complexity of the data and regional differences. The standard policy of 60 days is followed, except for the aforementioned exceptions. Percentage of payments made within the stipulated deadlines For Portugal, it was possible to identify the percentage of late payments based on the rules above mentioned. The percentage is 0.70%. The company is working to inform, in future reports, an indicator that includes all businesses and geographies. Number of court cases due to non-payment or payment delays There are no court cases related to non-payment or payment delays by EDP. Global Payment Practices vs. Regional Specificities Payment practices are mostly global and standardised, being followed in all geographies of the EDP Group. However, there are regional particularities in certain locations, which include: • specific rules in compliance with local legislation • operational adjustments in geographies with different structures or systems, which may impact deadline management. These specificities are known and managed locally. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 341| | | | | | | | | | 4.5. Other material topics Fair energy transition Governance and policies EDP committed to tripling renewables by 2030 while respecting the landscape biodiversity and its communities. The strong and dedicated engagement needed is supported through three pillars: • innovation \- developing technologies and business models, pioneering projects • access to clean energy \- fighting energy poverty • community engagement \- leaving no one behind, earning a Social License to Operate through early engagement and shared value. Making sure ReSkilling and UpSkilling are available to the populations facing transition and that we can develop the interest of young people, from an early age, in the topic of renewable energies as consumers or future workers. EDP approved its Policy of Local Stakeholder Engagement in 2023. A detailed set of Procedures was shared, with the premise of mapping and deeply engage with the communities before starting a new project, and throughout operation. EDP also has its Social Investment Policy, which establishes the objectives, corporate strategies and regulations relating to EDP's Social Investment, which is expressed in social responsibility programmes and projects in the community through its own and collaborative initiatives, donations and volunteering. This policy is also published on the edp.com website. EDP has its ethical guidelines and transparency tools operating through the Stakeholder Management and Local Stakeholder Engagement Policies and Procedures, as well as the Human Rights Policy, the Environmental Policy and the Biodiversity Strategy (as stated publicly in our website), as well as the Social Investment Policy that was approved in 2024 empowering the Y.E.S. Program, through projects developed under 5 main pillars: Energy, Planet, Skills, Culture and Community. Strategy Businesses must endorse the new green economy’s people-positive culture, which is committed to respecting human rights. Innovation will allow new economic trends to develop within the energy landscape: EDP is engaged in pioneering projects to enable the net zero future of the geographies where it operates, investing in expanding technologies, such as storage, green hydrogen, solar DG, offshore and floating solar. Access to Clean Energy is baseline for a fair transition, but it needs to reach everyone. Community Engagement has EDP mapping its local stakeholders through early engagement, previous assessments and due diligences, allowing a stronger acceptance through its engagement. Some of the programs we are developing in the context of democratizing access to clean energy and community engagement are as follows: • solar energy projects: implementation of solar panels to bring the benefits of solar (in self- consumption or solar communities) in schools, rural or disadvantaged communities or social organization all over the world • energy poverty projects: offering energy-saving and efficient housing solutions to low-income families (thermal insulation, windows, doors, more efficient equipment, so that they can maintain their homes in an adequate temperature (and prevent several diseases) • green impact investment & financial support: impact investment fund and capital donations to support local fair energy transition businesses such as: i. A2E Fund: a fund to support renewable energy projects that promote the environmental, social and economic development of rural communities, focusing on countries with low electrification rates | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 342| | | | | | | | | | ii. EDP Solidarity Energy: a fund from the 3 foundations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil that supports innovative, sustainable and impactful projects that contribute to a fairer, more inclusive and socially responsible society, through non-refundable donations. It targets conversion to renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric mobility iii. Hope Fund: a fund that will invest in social purpose organizations with a sustainable business model, that address all types of FET challenges, with innovative impact solutions in Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Colombia and Chile. This investment aims for total/partial capital recovery while traditional philanthropy assumes complete loss of capital from the onset. • upskilling and reskilling projects: Development of projects that foster entrepreneurship and job creation within renewable energy to meet future labour needs and guarantee that former coal workers, people living in communities close to EDP’s production centres and other minorities have job opportunities • educational projects: Promotion of Educational Programs for the new generations (from 6Ys to 16Ys) to understand the importance of clean energy sources • environmental sustainability projects: Several projects that address ocean or forest clean-up, species protection or others. Impacts, risks and opportunities management The challenges are technological, financial and logistical – but, above all, social. Without a Social License to Operate, businesses risk losing their acceptance and seeing their business-value decay. There’s a huge opportunity in clean power infrastructure development. If we do it through partnership and with a purpose, we’ll be creating significant business-value just as much as a culture of shared growth for society and the planet. The transformation of the Energy Landscape is immense. Decommissioning from Coal, affects local economy and requires an agile response, but mostly faces fear of the unknown - as does the new "alien" arriving with new infrastructures that significantly impact local activity and local landscape. It's been common that population engage in denial and NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) movements. Deeply assessing the local populations has been key to prevent crisis: only through due diligences and close contact can risks be identified and fought, becoming opportunities for shared value. Examples of this have been the programs develloped for the coal power plants' decommissioning In Sines (Portugal) there were only six months for the Active Future Programme to be effective, but it focused on reskilling , upskilling, entrepreneurship and emotional support, bringing the first specific transitioning process to peaceful disclosure. In Spain, the 4 power plants decommissioning from coal had a longer period to assess the population, build trust structures and local economy solutions from within, alongside to investing in school programs that help endorse the transition period and understanding. The same occurs in North America, where schools, Universities and Markets are used for the spreading of knowledge around energy trends, needs and benefits, building trust and shared value solutions. More information in chapter 4, topic S3 - Affected Communities. Metrics and targets Given the cross-cutting nature of the Fair energy transition topic, there are no specific targets set for it. Instead, it is considered within the broader goals outlined in the Business Plan 2023-26. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 343| | | | | | | | | | Digital transformation and innovation Digital Governance and policies The Digital function is ensured at EDP by DGU – Digital Global Unit –, with its organization and governance being fully in line with its purpose and scope of action. DGU mission statement is focused on maximizing digital and technology value creation at EDP, by setting the global vision and strategy for the group and bringing it to life in full partnership with the business. Main DGU responsibilities range from defining group-wide technology vision and strategy to pushing the development of digital capabilities and ways of working across the EDP Group. Towards the end of 2024, DGU strategy going forward for the upcoming management cycle was structured around four value creation levers, namely: a. boosting business value creation b. accelerating business delivery c. minimizing risk to business continuity d. managing technology cost efficiently. Digital has no specific Policies and follows the general Policies that are applicable to the whole EDP Group. Impacts, Risks and Opportunities management As Digital continues to be a key priority for all utilities – being mission-critical (most specially AI) to ensure the energy transition –, pursuing digital transformation at EDP involves several potential impacts, risks but also opportunities to take into account. Concerning potential impacts, proactive action was taken in the course of 2024 to ensure that pushing the introduction of AI across the organization leads to a significant upskilling of EDP’s workforce, the goal always being to free workforce capacity for increased value-added activities. Another potential impact has to do with possible inequalities arising from introducing emerging technologies, the focus here having been to effectively “democratize” technology (such as AI) at EDP, aiming at gradually making it accessible to the widest possible extent as it is introduced across the group. Focusing precisely on this purpose, an extensive set of awareness and dissemination sessions was held across EDP, engaging over 2,000 participants overall and achieving an excellent 96% satisfaction rate. Additionally – and as recognition for its efforts at actively addressing the external issues brought by introducing emerging technologies across our society as a whole –, EDP was awarded several important prizes in 2024, including from Portugal Digital and DSPA (Data Science Portuguese Association). As for positive impacts, EDP has significantly contributed in 2024 to decrease digital and social gaps associated to its activities, including by: (i) starting an extensive revamp of our B2C client- facing commercial Apps., aiming at facilitating and greatly improving our clients’ User Experience within their interactions with us as their energy provider; (ii) introducing NLU (Natural Language Understanding) Virtual Agents into our outage and customer support lines, dramatically reducing the number of calls opting to speak with live assistants – in part of the operations, more than 60% of incoming calls in 2024 were already answered in self-service (IVR and Virtual Agent through natural voice). As one major risk to address and mitigate, it is critical to minimize or altogether avoid any potential disruptions in EDP operations arising from digital transformation and new AI-driven processes. In this context, several complementary lines of action have been established and pursued by DGU in 2024, such as: (i) on the one hand, promoting business process review towards AI embedding, thus committing business to adapt their processes accordingly; (ii) on the other hand, by identifying and ensuring the revamp of key, critical processes with security improvements. Also essential for mitigating potential disruptions in EDP operations are our top-notch cybersecurity standards, as expressed by our BitSight security rating, currently the highest worldwide among utilities. Finally and regarding major opportunities for EDP resulting from the digital transformation and AI, one major breakthrough already in progress has to do with AI being fully rolled-out across the organization, with significant productivity gains expected for the EDP workforce. To this effect, the ‘Mind4EDP’ product was introduced in 2024 – an internal instance similar to ChatGPT –, fully customized to EDP’s knowledge base and business needs. Furthermore – and as a relevant positive ‘side effect’ –, the ‘quantum leap’ derived from all added information and analysis capabilities thus made available to our employees is expected to significantly contribute to their ability and motivation performing their jobs. Another major opportunity also to point out concerning 2024 consists in the extensive range of new digital solutions being introduced in the process of the digital transformation in progress at EDP, encompassing all business Platforms. Particularly relevant examples include (i) an in-house development of a real time, high-performance, scalable and reliable Energy Management & | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 344| | | | | | | | | | Forecasting App. for the energy retail business; (ii) the refactoring of a major legacy trading solution into a Cloud-native, reliable, scalable and microservices-oriented App., delivering much improved reliability in the ingestion and analysis of trading data sources; (iii) an Android library ready to integrate with any mobile application and guarantee a correct use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) by technicians when conducting field work, so as to mitigate potential risks/ accidents. Metrics and targets • Digital Acceleration Index: based on an IDC framework and models (IDC being a global market intelligence, data, and events provider for the IT industry); this index results from a weighted average considering 2 domains: IDC internal models (3.47 score in 2024 and 80% weight) and Digital KPIs measuring business outcomes (2.25 score in 2024 and 20% weight) • Agile Maturity Level: based on market standards adapted to EDP specificities: considers 5 maturity levels (1. Pre-crawl, 2. Crawl, 3. Walk, 4. Run, 5. Fly), the actual level resulting from assessing 4 domains (Organization, Team, Methodology and Monitoring) and 8 subdomains, with 80% compliance on any given level required in order to progress to the next level • Critical incidents occurrence: as directly measured by counting the occurrence of ‘P1’ (Priority 1) incidents throughout 2024 • BitSight cyber security rating: as directly measured by BitSight, an external, international cybersecurity ratings company, this rating resulting from BitSight's internal assessment model, with 820 being the highest attainable value in their scale. Note: except for the Agile Maturity Level, the targets for the remainder previous metrics were first discussed and proposed at DGU management level, having then being approved by EDP’s EBD. Research and Innovation (R&I) Governance and Policies Innovation has long been a traditional investment priority for the group, with EDP Inovação (EDPI) as the key promoter for innovation. It was established in 2007 with the objective of creating an autonomous entity responsible for internal innovation activities as well as fostering stronger links with the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Alongside EDPI, the Center of New Energy Technologies (CNET) was established in 2014 with the objective of having a research and development centre inside EDP Group. To ensure complementarity between Innovation and Research, the Global Research and Innovation (GRI) was created in 2024, bringing together both EDPI and CNET. Research & Innovation has no specific Policies and follows the general Policies that are applicable to the whole EDP Group. GRI's operating model is based on a fast adopter logic with a well-defined purpose of accelerating new businesses with impact and promoting the rapid adoption of innovative solutions, while also exploring new paths to lead the energy transition. It seeks to solve the energy transition problems through the integration of new technologies, processes, and products, as well as innovative business models in EDP´s business to enhance competitiveness and create value for stakeholders. GRI follows an Open Innovation philosophy that engages and promotes adoption through four innovation paths that act in parallel and complementary to one another, fed by a transversal sourcing process, namely: internal delivery (innovation portfolio developed internally), external partnerships through the open innovation ecosystem (start-ups, corporates, universities, among others), external investments through EDP Ventures, and Research through CNET (public funded projects, consultancy, among others). These innovation avenues are supported by the right funding and investment, coordination, and expertise development to ensure EDP is at the forefront of market trends and innovation. GRI also ensures the development and management of the infrastructure to disseminate innovation culture and best practices across the organization, fostering both entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 345| | | | | | | | | | GRI focuses on bringing innovation and research along four domains, aligned with corporate strategy and market trends, which positions EDP along the energy industry value chain: • Renewable generation assets, their integration and flexibility, to help EDP achieve its renewable energy targets • Networks, a crucial enabler of the energy transition • Client Solutions, that supports EDP customers' decarbonization efforts by developing new solutions and speeding up their adoption • Energy Management that focuses on energy management and trading tools, and energy storage and flexibility, which tests new storage technologies, flexibility management. Close Strategic Alignment across innovation & research and the business priorities GRI has an annual process of revising innovation and research priorities within these four domains, that ensures alignment (with corporate strategy and market trends), focus, and agility. This process is highly collaborative within GRI and with all platforms and hubs at EDP. Impacts, Risks and Opportunities management / Metrics and Targets 2024 marked an important milestone at Global Research and Innovation, with several initiatives and projects that are preparing EDP for the future in terms of new technologies and business models, fostering its future competitiveness and positioning EDP as a forward-thinking industry leader.

Throughout the year 2024, the accumulated investment volume reached near €75m, with an investment of ≈€5m made during 2024 and a total cash-in YTD of roughly ≈€40m. EDP Ventures expanded its global presence, now being active in #11 geographies, and operating through #4 different investment vehicles worldwide. These efforts not only provided financial backing but also facilitated the integration of innovative solutions into EDP's business, driving the energy transition and enhancing the company's competitive edge. Overall, 2024 was very important consolidation year, which reinforced the importance of the research and innovation at EDP, and of GRI in catalysing EDP's business and providing optionality for potential future businesses for the group. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 347| | | | | | | | | | Responsible investment and sustainable finance Governance and policies To support the management of material impacts, risks and opportunities related to responsible investment, EDP has in place its eight sustainable development principles and a financial policy, which also covers all its subsidiaries. From a material standpoint, the principles and values that guide EDP' actions towards responsible investment are defined in the public commitments made. EDP principles of sustainable development At the beginning of 2004, a set of eight sustainable development principles were approved. These principles guide our activities and embody our public commitment to conducting business while balancing the economic, environmental, and social aspects of EDP Group’s operations. The EDP Principles of Sustainable Development are categorized into eight areas, which cover all the ESG factors: 1. Economic and social value; 2. Eco-efficiency and environmental protection; 3. Innovation; 4\. Integrity and good governance; 5. Transparency and dialogue; 6. People and diversity; 7. Access to energy; 8. Social development and citizenship. These commitments demonstrate how EDP has distinguished itself on the path to decarbonization through significant investments in the growth of renewable energies, while also supporting communities and other stakeholders. These principles were approved by the Executive Board of Directors (EBD) on March 2004. Financial management policy Furthermore, funding wise, EDP follows a centralized funding policy. Approximately 83% of EDP's gross debt is held at the holding level, namely at EDP S.A., EDP Finance BV, and EDP-Servicios Financieros España, S.A.U (EDP SFE). The remainder of EDP's gross debt is divided between EDP Brasil (ring-fenced from the rest of the group) and EDP Renováveis subsidiaries, namely through project finance. Green funding is a crucial tool for financing the energy transition, which is particularly relevant for EDP, given its growth plan is predominantly based on investments in renewables. This policy was approved by the Executive Board of Directors (EBD) on January 2016. Responsible investment Strategy EDP embeds sustainability into its business model, focusing on renewable energy investments and innovative energy solutions as a way to anticipating the evolution of physical, transition risks and opportunities, especially concerning governmental actions aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and the role EDP can play in facilitating this transformation. EDP’s business strategy is shaped to mitigate chronic risk through a diversified generation portfolio in terms of technologies and geographies. Geographic diversification significantly reduces the risk, as structural reduction in precipitation is not likely to occur in all geographies and with the same magnitude. An example of this is the investment in other renewable sources besides hydro (i.e., solar and wind) in different markets (European markets, North and South America, and APAC). EDP has a resilient business plan focused on driving growth and ensuring the company's ability to navigate the world's volatile environment. EDP aims to achieve accelerated and focused growth by implementing its investment plan for the period of 2024-2026, which will reinforce its position as a leader in the energy transition and solidify its distinctive 'green' stance and low-risk profile. Impacts, risks and opportunities management Since 2006, our Responsible Investment activities, which have a significant impact, have been driven by our focus on renewable assets and are linked to EDP's executive variable annual compensation. The company assesses potential new market opportunities, particularly in emerging countries, driven by the growing demand for renewable energy. Recognizing this as a significant opportunity, EDP is actively pursuing expansion into new markets. Furthermore, the company evaluates the implications of technological advancements in renewable energy and energy storage, acknowledging the necessity to invest in new technologies to maintain competitiveness and ensure the resilience of its business. This work is aligned with the purpose of responsible investment and sustainable finance, which intends to encourage the market agents to operate in a way that benefits the planet and society, and linking financial instruments like bonds and loans to their sustainability goals. This makes us a strong player in sustainability-themed and impact investing. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 348| | | | | | | | | | The decommissioning of coal plants and a procurement with ESG criteria are expected to reduce operational risks (e.g. environmental pollution; business interruptions), lower costs (e.g. operation, inspection and regular preventive maintenance, carbon taxes), and open up new business opportunities. These initiatives will not only increase revenues but also ensure long-term sustainability and resilience in the evolving energy market. All the coal plants closed are promoting a just transition in the old coal sites: Pecém, closed in December 2023, has a pilot green hydrogen project in operation; Abõno II, closed in February 2024, has ongoing hydrogen projects; and Soto 3, whose closure is being assessed by Spanish national authorities as requested by EDP, has just transition projects, particularly renewable hydrogen projects. Metrics and targets The aim is to have solid financials with the implementation of the investment plan, according with EDP plans to invest €13.6 Bn in renewables between 2024-2026. The ratio FFO (Funds from Operations) to Total Debt is one of the key quantitative components of the Executive Board of Directors'annual performance indicators, with a target of 21% for 2026. The climate transition is intrinsic to EDP's business with three main goals. EDP has set an ambitious goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, with a clear roadmap to be coal-free by 2025 and fully green by 2030. This strategic vision underscores EDP's commitment to sustainability and its proactive approach to addressing global environmental challenges. As part of this strategy, EDP aims to install 3GW of green energy per year. Investments in portfolio decarbonization have enabled EDP to meet sustainable investment criteria, significantly reducing its environmental impact. In 2024, revenues from coal accounted for less than 1%, and those from fossil fuels were under 2%. These calculations for 2024 comply with the requirements to disclose KPIs under Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852), which mandates EDP to disclose information on how and to what extent its activities are associated with environmentally sustainable economic activities. This has resulted in a Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity of 29gCO2/KWh, demonstrating our commitment to being coal-free by 2025. Sustainable finance Strategy Although EDP’s strategy has long been focused on sustainability, our issuance of Green Bonds has promoted a greater alignment of the company’s financial policy with our sustainability strategy, while the market’s awareness of this topic is increasing. Green Bonds are interest-bearing securities whose issue proceeds are allocated to a pre- determined set of environmentally beneficial project categories. They differ from conventional covered bonds primarily in terms of the specific requirements governing the allocation of funds as well as applying special reporting rules. The net proceeds from Green Bonds issuance is used in the financing or refinancing of existing or planned investments of EDPR, which support the transition to a low-carbon economy, especially those that help increase the production of renewable energy (“Eligible Green Project Portfolio”). Eligible Green Projects include the design, construction, installation and maintenance of renewable energy production projects, such as: • wind power plants (onshore and offshore) • solar power plants (photovoltaic). The Eligible Green Project Portfolio excludes any projects based on fossil fuel and hydro energy production, transmission and distribution. EDPR owns wind and solar energy parks in multiple countries, including Europe, the United States, Brazil, and several countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The net proceeds of green bonds issued by EDP will be managed on a portfolio basis. Proceeds will be used for (re)financing the Eligible Green Project Portfolio i.e. the financing of new and the refinancing of existing projects of EDP R. Historically, EDP had already captured some of the green demand through our clearly sustainable corporate strategy; however, the first green bond deal led to a strong skew towards dark green investors. This confirmed to us that investors appreciated the Framework put in place, and approved the deal. Regarding sustainability-related financial risks (financial materiality), EDP has taken proactive steps to ensure their business operations are resilient to physical risks. As part of their | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 349| | | | | | | | | | day-to-day operations and enterprise risk management, EDP has implemented measures such as purchasing insurance to protect assets and developing plans to mitigate physical risks. As part of the drive by different agents of the power sector to push forward the decarbonisation process of the economy, EDP believes that the issuance of green bonds is an important tool to: a) encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy, giving financial backing to ongoing projects or new ones aimed at bringing about this transition; b) demonstrate an ongoing commitment to sustainability with a core objective of reducing CO2 emissions and enabling the energy transition through its renewable energy operations and c) deepen the relations to existing and new investors, and to create a tighter link with socially responsible investors. Impacts, risks and opportunities management To recognize the commitment, leadership, and investment in renewable energy, EDP established its first Green Bond Framework in 2018. This framework outlined the process for issuing future bonds aimed at achieving EDP's sustainability objectives, based on International Capital Market Association's Green Bond Principles (ICMA GBP), which are market best practice. The document has been reviewed twice—once in 2022 and again in 2023—to incorporate new green instruments, such as green loans, and to align with the updated decarbonization strategy under the Business Plan 2023-2026. These updates reflect EDP's ongoing dedication to advancing its sustainability goals and adapting to the evolving landscape of green finance. These green financing instruments are issued by EDP, EDP finance BV, EDP SFE and EDP Renováveis and its subsidiaries and project companies to finance or refinance wind (onshore and offshore) and solar (PV) eligible assets and projects. Metrics and targets When it comes to sustainable finance, the proceeds of green bonds, green loans, and sustainability- linked loans play a significant role in advancing EDP’s Climate Transition Plan and in achieving our goals of becoming coal-free by 2025 and net zero by 2040. In the end of 2024, sustainable finance amounted to €21.5 Bn: (1) €13.2 Bn in green bonds; (2) €7.6 Bn in sustainability-linked loans and (3) €0.7 Bn in green loans, which represented 67% of the nominal debt. EDP believes that the issuance of green financing instruments is an important tool to encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy, providing financial backing to existing or new projects that contribute to this transition. The Framework defined by EDP is aligned with the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA)’s Green Bond Principles (GBP) 2021, with June 2022 Appendix I 11 and the Loan Market Association (LMA)’s Green Loan Principles (GLP) 202312. These principles are voluntary guidelines that support transparency and credibility. The requirements of this Framework will be applied to any green financing instrument issued by EDP, EDP – Servicios Financieros España, S.A.U. and EDP Finance B.V.. EDP has a centralized and coordinated approach to banking and capital markets, i.e., most of the funding for the EDP Group investments and activities is raised by these three entities. Additionally, EDPR´s subsidiaries can engage in external financing at project level, through non-recourse project financing. Therefore, the requirements of this Framework will also apply to EDPR´s subsidiaries raising non-recourse project financing. For the avoidance of doubt, companies from the EDP Group, other than EDP, EDP – Servicios Financieros España, S.A.U., EDP Finance B.V., EDPR and those under EDPR, are excluded from this Framework. Green financing instruments may include green bonds (in various formats, such as, but not limited to, senior unsecured, subordinated unsecured (or hybrid), or project bond), and green loans, where the net proceeds will be exclusively applied to (re)finance, in part or in full, new and/or existing eligible green assets with clear environmental benefits. Sustainability-linked loans Sustainability-linked loans are debt instruments where the interest rate is linked to certain ESG metrics – that is, loans where the cash flows under the contract vary depending on an ESG metric or measure (also sometimes referred to as ‘green loans’). For EDP, these measures relate to compliance with specific emissions and renewable installed capacity. The interest rate on the loan is adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the borrower’s performance relative to these measures. All EDP green issuances are aligned with its sustainability strategy, as part of the Strategic Agenda and Business Plan 2023-2026. The proceeds will support EDP's targets to increase renewable capacity (coal-free by 2025 and all green by 2030), and to reduce the scopes 1 and 2 specific emissions by 77% by 2026 and 95% by 2030, using 2020 as base year. These targets have been approved by SBTi in 2023, under the Net Zero Standard. EDP has also committed to achieving Net Zero by 2040, reducing, in absolute terms, its CO2 emissions by 90%, against 2020 base year, covering Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The share of renewables energy production is included in Executive Board of Directors’ remuneration scheme. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 350| | | | | | | | | | EDP’s green bond issuances have contributed heavily towards UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7: Affordable and clean energy and SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Regarding greenwashing allegations, EDP has been transparent about the sustainable use of proceeds and the environmental impacts since its first issuance. The company is committed to reporting on these aspects until the maturity of each issuance in its annual integrated report. EDP’s latest issuance, in September 2024, was allocated 2% to dark green investors, and 88% to medium and light green investors, based on the criteria of one of the global coordinator banks of the issuance. This consistency over the years shows that investors continue to appreciate EDP's commitment to sustainability. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 351| | | | | | | | | | Business continuity & resilience Governance and policies Organizations face, nowadays a multiplicity of adverse situations, as a result of their international positioning, further exposing them to disruptive events with potentially high negative impacts. On the other hand, being aware of its position allows organizations to assume a state of continuous monitoring and alertness, regarding the evolution of possible crises on a global scale, with impact on the organization. The EDP Group assumes Crisis Management as a strategic capacity that enhances its supported and sustainable response to abnormal situations, characterized by high uncertainty and with potential negative impact on its strategic and business commitments and objectives, requiring urgent attention and action to protect the life and physical integrity of people, the environment, assets, and the reputation of the EDP Group. The EDP Group Crisis Management Plan, which is transversal and strategic in nature and aligned with the ISO22361 standard, establishes the management structures, guiding principles for decision making, and practices to be observed in the three phases of the crisis management process: before, during and after the crisis. Alongside the Crisis Management Plan, the Crisis Communication Plan was established, which supports the actions of the teams responsible for ensuring effective communication - transparent, coherent, and consistent - in these highly complex and volatile contexts. Designed to allow a strategic response to crisis and pre-crisis situations of diverse natures and with different levels of complexity, these plans are echoed in the Business Units and Corporate Centre Departments, when applicable, ensuring the tactical and operational capacity to respond to Crises, and an adequate escalation to the EBD and the EDP Group's Crisis Management Office. In September, a Strategic Crisis Management exercise was carried out, allowing for important lessons to be learned about the group's resilience in the event of a serious disruption. Conducting exercises is essential to strengthen preparedness and resilience when facing potential crises, as well as to prepare and solidify decision-making skills. This will also contribute to ensure the ability for faster and more assertive reaction to and recover from unexpected situations, allowing to experience, discuss and analyse scenarios in a safe and controlled environment, using the Crisis Management and Communication Plans as guides. EDP is exposed to a myriad of threats and risks, made increasingly challenging in a world that is constantly changing, and therefore organizational resilience is reflected across the board in the principles and policies that define the EDP Group's positioning and performance at various levels. As a fundamental part of organizational resilience, Business Continuity Management plays an increasingly important role in the group's ability to respond to disruptive situations. Ensuring the resilience and continuity for its critical services and processes has been one of the EDP Group’s top priorities, and its commitment towards Business Continuity Management (BCM) is formalized in [EDP’s Business Continuity Policy](https://www.edp.com/en/investors/corporate-governance/business-continuity-policy). Such commitment resulted in the development of a transversal BCM methodology, aligned with international reference standards, such as the ISO 2230x standards family. Also noteworthy was the creation of the Safety, Security & Business Continuity Unit (SS&BC) in January 2022, which allowed for the strategic reframing of the Crisis Management and Business Continuity, Safety (prevention and security) and Security (physical security and duty of care) subjects, towards a holistic and transversal management of these in EDP, benefiting from the clear complementarity between them and from an integrated approach. It should be highlighted that E-REDES has maintained an ISO 22301 - Business Continuity certification since 2015, while EDP REDES España has accomplished its certification against this standard, in 2023. EDP has therefore developed and maintains a set of human, procedural and technological controls, and safeguard measures that have been improved overtime, complemented by recovery plans at an operational level, such as the Business Continuity Plans for priority processes/services, Contingency Plans or Disaster Recovery Plans, among others. These allow EDP to enhance its capacity to continue to provide its services at acceptable levels even when faced with incidents, emergencies, and disasters, fulfilling its purpose and meeting the objectives it has committed to. To ensure their effectiveness and adequacy, these plans are subject to periodic exercises and simulations, both internally and in collaboration with external entities relevant to EDP's value chain. Aiming to strengthen this commitment, the EDP Group has defined the Security Policy, which establishes the guiding principles to be followed. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 352| | | | | | | | | | Impacts, risks and opportunities management Since February 2022, following what was established in its Crisis Management Plan and Crisis Communication Plan, EDP assumed a Pre-Crisis Situation, motivated by the emergence of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which resulted in a worsening of geopolitical instability in Europe and worldwide. Starting an intensive follow-up of the evolution of this situation, a monitoring group was established that included different areas in EDP, especially those with a greater presence in the nearby region. This monitoring is carried out in terms of topics such as the physical safety of people and assets, cybersecurity, business continuity, risk management, supply chain, energy management, finance, regulation and stakeholders, compliance, communication, and social support. This monitoring group, under the coordination of the SS&BC Unit, is responsible for reporting to the EBD on the main risks existing at each moment, changes in the environment, the status of implementation of risk management measures defined, as well as further measures proposed for adoption. As a complement to the analysis and monitoring of the situation by the different areas, EDP also opted to resort to entities specialized in the management of geopolitical conflicts, in order to acquire greater knowledge of potential developments and thus anticipate its response to potential risks or threats. Considering the possible scenarios of the evolution of geopolitical conflicts (including, among others, the situation in the Middle East), an approach to evaluation of the most relevant risks and impacts for EDP was adopted, as well as of the main risk management and impact mitigation measures. EDP's response to the extreme weather events that impacted operations, in the Iberian Peninsula (storm Kirk and forest fires), floods in Brazil and hurricanes in the USA (hurricane Helene and Milton), demonstrate the intrinsic capability of the company and its teams to adapt to disruptive situations by working tirelessly for an effective recovery. In Portugal, in less than 24 hours, 800 of our employees were mobilized on the ground, who, along with contractors and call centre operators, managed to restore power to the 400,000 customers who were left without power. At the end of October, Spain was affected by a major DANA, with rainfall of almost 500 litres in a few hours that caused massive flash floods, resulting in a large number of fatalities and material losses. This event affected the electricity network and 1396 customers, resulting in the business continuity plan for the unavailability of network assets being activated. EDP is responsible for a set of critical infrastructures in Spain and Portugal, which include electricity generation and distribution infrastructures (physical and control facilities), as well as related customer service activities, which have been identified within the scope of the Directive (EU) 2022/2557 of the European Parliament and Council of December 14, 2022, on the resilience of critical entities, which is awaiting transposition into national law. Due to the diversity of the critical infrastructures under its responsibility, EDP has proactively adopted strategies to respond to risks of different natures, such as physical risks (e.g., fires, earthquakes, atmospheric events, including extreme events), and technological risks (including, but not limited to, cybersecurity risks for operational systems and information systems). In addition, the measures and tools adopted to mitigate these risks are diversified and different in nature, adjusted to the specifics of the infrastructures, necessarily covering physical security (safety and security aspects), technological security and cybersecurity, as well as the management of Business Continuity, leveraged by a strong component of training and exercises. EDP has developed, for each of the critical infrastructures, the respective security plan, supported by the conclusions of the risk analysis carried out and the set of measures implemented as a result and in alignment with the national law. Furthermore, it is important to mention the role assumed by EDP in promoting the adoption of good practices in the management of critical infrastructures in the sector, through its dissemination, but also through collaboration with external entities, participating in exercises and workshops relevant to the topic. Focusing on establishing and developing a Security Culture, EDP promoted a set of awareness- raising activities, provided by SIS - Security Information Service; (i) the Knowledge and Sensitive Information Protection Program, which aims to alert entities in Portugal to espionage threats and raise their awareness of the importance of protecting knowledge and sensitive information and (ii) the Krítica Program, with the aim of contributing to improving the protection of critical infrastructures and sensitive national points against the terrorist threat. Also with the aim of promoting a culture of resilience at EDP, the Safety, Security & Business Continuity Unit (SS&BC) dedicated a month to the dissemination of good practices and strategies to be adopted in natural disaster scenarios, in particular, earthquakes. Highlights among the initiatives promoted were: EDP’s participation in the annual seismic risk awareness exercise "A Terra Treme", the organization of the conference "Resilience | Connecting the dots between entities", with the participation of the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority and of the Lisbon City Council, through its [ReSist program](https://www.lisboa.pt/temas/seguranca-e-prevencao/sismos/programa-resist), and a workshop in collaboration with the [Southern California](https://www.scec.org)[ ](https://www.scec.org) | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 353| | | | | | | | | | [Earthquake Center](https://www.scec.org), focusing on good practices to adopt for earthquake preparedness and response. Furthermore, in this context and following the approval of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, EDP has participated, in Portugal, in the National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (PNRRC in its Portuguese acronym), under the responsibility of a sub-committee coordinated by ANEPC (National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection). We highlight EDP’s participation in the development of the Handbook on “Sectoral Interdependencies in the Resilience of operators of essential services to society” as part of the PNRRC activities for the 2021-2023 (soon available on the PNRRC website), while during the 2015-2017 triennium, the "Good Resilience Practices for Critical Infrastructure - Private Sector and State Business Sector" was developed and made available at the PNRRC website. During 2024-2026, the aim of the working group is to carry out training and knowledge transfer actions geared towards the resilience of operators of essential services and disseminate practices and procedures for preventing and responding to disruptions. Although internal monitoring is carried out on this issue, no specific objectives have been defined in these areas. Metrics and targets Given the cross-cutting nature of the Business continuity and resilience topic, there are no specific targets set for it. Instead, it is considered within the broader goals outlined in the Business Plan 2023-26. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 354| | | | | | | | | | Information privacy and security In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, data management and automation offer significant opportunities to drive innovation, optimize operations, and create personalized customer experiences. However, these advancements also introduce new vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. There is also the risk of data breaches, both posing financial, reputational, and operational risks for the business and for individuals. Non-compliance with data privacy regulations can result in hefty fines and undermine the trust that is fundamental to our business relationships. As we navigate this dynamic environment, EDP Group is committed to leveraging the power of data responsibly, ensuring robust data security and adhering to all relevant data protection regulations to safeguard the interests of all our stakeholders. Information privacy Governance and policies/strategy The EDP Group assumes the strict respect for the privacy and the protection of the personal data of all its stakeholders (customers, employees, service providers, suppliers, partners) as a fundamental commitment to be observed in its activity, throughout the value chain. This commitment is also reflected in the pursuit of compliance both with applicable legal requirements (European Union General Data Protection Regulation, Brazilian General Data Protection Law, as well as the applicable laws in all jurisdictions where the group operates), and with relevant standards and guidelines, as well as with data privacy best practices, while ensuring its business activities are conducted with integrity, in a competent and ethical manner. The group's Data Protection Policy, that applies transversally to all the group's business units and operations, including suppliers and contractors (who shall only process the personal data following documented instructions from EDP), has the purpose of ensuring compliance with this commitment to prioritize the strictest respect for the privacy of its stakeholders, through the observance of the following principles: i. lawfulness and purpose ii. fairness and transparency iii. proportionality iv. control v. privacy since “0” moment vi. responsibility vii. security. This Policy is approved by the Executive Board of Directors and is reviewed whenever there are relevant changes in the applicable legal framework, in the context of the activities carried out by EDP or if other elements arise that require its adaptation. To further put this commitment into practice, EDP has implemented a Personal Data Protection Compliance Program, aligned and integrated in the EDP Group’s Compliance Management System. This Program is described in the Personal Data Protection Compliance Program Standard which explains its different components, namely: • the governance model • the risk management system • the standards, policies and procedures developed regarding personal data protection • the training and communication methodology • the mechanisms for incident management • the monitoring procedures • the third-party compliance applicable requirements • the reporting model • the continuous improvement approach and triggers. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 355| | | | | | | | | | The Personal Data Protection Compliance Program governance model is based on the conceptual risk and control “3 lines of defence” management model and establishes the responsibilities and the interaction framework between the different relevant stakeholders. In the second line of defence, the Program is promoted and coordinated by the Center of Excellence (CoE) for Privacy & Data Protection, within the Ethics and Compliance, and supported by Legal & Governance and by IT Security and Risk as specialized areas, responsible for providing specialized advice in specific matters and, as appropriate, proposing or implementing adequate controls. Additionally, the Ethics and Compliance focal points, within the business or supporting functions, are responsible for promoting the dissemination, knowledge, training, and implementation of the Compliance Program in their respective areas of activity. In its turn, the different businesses and other support functions (such as People & Organization, Safety and Security, Innovation, etc.), in the first line of defence, have responsibility for ensuring its activities are performed according with legal requirements and internally defined policies and procedures. The Internal Audit Global Unit, in the third line of defence, conducts specific audit work to verify the adequacy and effectiveness of the implemented control mechanisms. Whenever legally required, this Governance Model also includes a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO reports directly to the Ethics and Compliance on the development of his activity as well as regarding any non-conformities and risks detected. On the other hand, this Compliance Program is supported by a set of different global data protection Standards and Procedures, approved by EDP’s Executive Board of Directors, that address in particular: • the privacy by design process • the risk assessments of personal data processing activities and data protection impact assessments • the management of data processors • the process of responding to the exercise of data protection rights by the corresponding data subjects • the management of personal data incidents and breaches. These global procedures may be complemented by specific procedures and controls defined at the first line of defence level, which intend to cover the entire life cycle of the respective processing activities, according to their exposure to personal data protection risks. In which regards Data Protection incidents, the group has defined and implemented a procedure to identify, manage and, as appropriate, report data breaches that lead to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. Under this procedure, any person (employee or service provider) who becomes aware of a potential incident involving personal data must report it to Compliance, Legal and/or IT Security. The incident must be analysed and shared with the DPO, who issues its opinion. Finally, and where applicable, the formal decision to notify the competent supervisory authority and/or the data subjects lies with the management of the entity responsible for the processing. On the other hand, the group entities make available different channels for data subjects to submit their complaints or requests. In addition to the direct contact channels with the entity responsible for processing, made available to data subjects within the scope of each specific processing activity, the different entities of the EDP Group provide contact channels with the respective DPO, who is, by inherence of his function, responsible for ensuring the relations with data subjects in matters covered by personal data protection legislation. These are the preferred channels for data subjects to submit their requests and report incidents. Also, the EDP Group has whistleblowing channels with a transversal nature, through which relevant stakeholders can file complaints regarding the various topics covered by the EDP Code of Ethics, including the Protection of Personal Data. The management of data breaches as well as any complaints and requests for the exercise of data protection rights is accompanied and monitored by the Compliance CoE for Privacy & Data Protection. In 2024, the EDP Group entities: • notified the respective supervisory authorities of 2 data breaches of Customers' personal data in Portugal (2023: 2) and 0 in Spain (2023: 1). None of these, was communicated to data subjects (2023: 2 in Portugal and 0 in Spain) as they were deemed not likely to result in a high risk to data subjects • received a total of 687 Customer complaints (2023: 614). 1 In 2023, mandatory training was made available to all EDP Group employees. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 356| | | | | | | | | | Impacts, risks and opportunities management As to the continuous improvement of the Program, the Compliance CoE for Privacy & Data Protection defines, on an annual basis, an action plan in order to mitigate any identified risks as well to ensure the implementation of improvement opportunities. This exercise is based on the outcomes of the follow-up and monitoring of the development of the Program, namely resulting from the Program metrics / Key Performance Indicators follow up, from the identification of risks and impacts in complaints from data subjects, possible investigation processes initiated by supervisory authorities, internal, external or DPO audits, as well as trends, rapid technological advancements (such as Artificial Intelligence) or legislative developments. Such plans are reviewed periodically throughout the year and, if at a certain moment, new relevant risks are identified, immediate mitigation or corrective actions are identified and developed. These improvement initiatives can be translated namely into: • review/update of internal policies and procedures • correction or review/update of operational processes or control mechanisms • reinforcement of awareness or training on specific matters. With regards to actions developed in 2024, the following stand out: • launch of a transversal project to ensure compliance with the applicable legal requirements for the development and use of artificial intelligence, in coordination with Legal and IT • review of the governance model of the Program, adapting it to the new EDP organizational model • review and transversalization of some of the Program’s procedures • review/update and self-certification of the Record of Processing Activities in Brazil and Spain • implementation of recommendations from the EDP Brasil Privacy Program audit completed in June/2024 • face-to-face training sessions with key interlocutors about: i) the revised procedures as well as ii) key data protection topics, aiming at strengthening the awareness of these stakeholders • development and launch of 2 new e-learnings, available to all employees globally, addressing the Privacy by Design and the Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) processes. A total of 4,017 participations were registered in the sessions mentioned above, corresponding to a total of 1,347 training hours (2023 1: 9,183 participations/3,965 hours). Metrics and targets The monitoring of EDP’s Personal Data Protection Compliance Program is reinforced by the use and follow-up of a specific set of data protection related targets and corresponding metrics / Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), that are periodically reported by Ethics & Compliance to the Executive Board of Directors and to the General and Supervisory Board, within the scope of these bodies responsibilities for supervising the Program. These targets and metrics are aligned with the overall EDP’s commitments and objectives regarding personal data protection, stated above. Also, considering the defined targets and the measurement of the corresponding KPIs, specific improvement actions may be developed, as already referred. The most relevant targets concerning the Personal Data Protection Compliance Program and the corresponding metrics and KPIs for 2024 are in the table below. | | ---|---|--- TARGET| METRIC| KPI 2024 General Non-occurence of data breaches with risk to data subjects (that must be reported to supervisory authorities)| Number of data breaches reported to supervisory authorities| 3 Non-occurence of data breaches with risk to data subjects, particularly Customers (that must be reported to supervisory authorities) | Number of data breaches affecting Customers reported to supervisory authorities | 2 Non-occurence of data breaches with high risk to data subjects (that must be reported to data subjects)| Number of data breaches reported to data subjects | 0 Non-occurence of data breaches with high risk to data subjects, particularly Customers (that must be reported to data subjects)| Number of data breaches affecting Customers reported to data subjects | 0 Overall compliance with legal requirements | Number of personal data protection related sanctions applied by supervisory authorities| 1 Training and awareness Training and awareness is made available to relevant employees| Number of participants in training sessions / e- learnings| 4,017 Number of training hours | 1,347 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 357| | | | | | | | | | The basic information for calculating these indicators is directly obtained from records made in personal data protection management tools and additional information, when necessary (namely that relating to customer complaints, recorded directly in commercial systems, as well as the training information, recorded in the company’s training management platform). Information security Governance and policies EDP, as an energy utility company, has become very reliant on its digital infrastructure for efficient operations and services delivery. However, this increase in technological sophistication and integration also leads to an increased exposure to various cyber risks. EDP is already driving a digital transformation to further boost business performance, in which cyber resilience is included. Despite all the efforts made by organizations, there is probable risk that cyber-attacks become more frequent and with higher magnitude. The EDP Group's Information Security policy, updated and approved by the Executive Board of Directors in 2023, establishes information security as a competitive factor, generating confidence among its stakeholders, but also as a critical responsibility in a social context, due to its role as an operator of critical infrastructures and manager of large volumes of personal data on customers and employees. The EDP Group, subscribing to the practices recommended in internationally recognized standards, undertakes to: • Ensure compliance with legal, contractual, regulatory requirements and information security recommendations or guidelines applicable to the EDP Group • Provide organizational and support infrastructure, ensuring sustainability and the necessary evidence, in alignment with risk management for information security • Ensure resources for the operationalization of processes and activities within the scope of information security management, including in terms of raising awareness among internal and external employees regarding this issue and awareness of their respective responsibilities • Ensure the protection of EDP Group information, including in processing activities carried out by suppliers or other third parties • Promote the importance of authenticity of information, emphasizing the use of genuine, unadulterated data from reliable sources • Actively promote cooperation with external entities in the prevention and management of crises related to cybersecurity. To ensure robust governance of the EDP Group's information security, specific committees were created to address cybersecurity issues. In 2023, the structure and competencies have been reviewed within a program to reformulate the information security governance model of the entire group. Information security committees have been held periodically since 2023 and include the top management of the organization as well as relevant stakeholders on information security matters. Annually, the EDP Group's cybersecurity risk assessment is presented to the members of the General and Supervisory Board. Strategy EDP Group's Information Security policy defines the organization's objectives and commitments, which are fundamental to the management and effective use of this invaluable asset, which is information. Committed to adhering to legal and regulatory requirements, EDP provides the necessary support infrastructure, ensuring adequate resources for security management, protecting information, promoting data authenticity, and cooperating in the prevention and management of cybersecurity crises. To support and coordinate the entire operationalization, and recognizing the critical importance of information, EDP formally established its cybersecurity area in 2010. Since then, it has advanced cybersecurity initiatives through meticulously planned three-year roadmaps, based on fundamental principles and currently with an investment of approximately 5% of IT TOTEX, ensuring a gradual evolution of information security. The Information Security policy is further reinforced by domain-specific standards, aligned with the international standard ISO 27001:2022, which is used as a reference, and which allow the definition of the various controls for the different domains, which (1) supports risk management in the information security context in the three pillars of confidentiality, integrity, and availability; (2) contributes to achieving the main information security objectives, which include: • ensuring privacy and data protection • implementing robust safeguards and resilience measures • ensuring restricted access to essential information • adopting a strategic approach to information security • ensuring resilience of the government model | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 358| | | | | | | | | | • promoting a culture of security and collaborate with external entities. To continue building a cyber-secure organization, EDP has establish an information security operating model that ensures a global and robust structure for monitoring and responding to threats. This model focuses on three aspects: i. the cybersecurity organizational model (i.e., governance, processes, functions) ii. a system to ensure the security of documentation and information iii. cybersecurity metrics and KPIs at a global level. During 2024, EDP has invested in four main drivers as pillars of its security strategy, detailed here on. Globalization of Security Operations (SOC) The EDP Group is focused on increasing the agility and scope of Security Operations, creating a Global SOC, taking full advantages of SecOps capabilities operating across all geographies, aligning with the strategic goals of the DGU (Digital Global Unit). In order to simplify and automate processes whenever possible, improve response times, eliminate waste, and reduce stakeholder friction, EDP started the integration of its SOC, establishing it as a truly global service, covering not only information technology (IT), but also the operation technology (OT) dimension. This ensures complete IT and OT monitoring across all platforms, and the normalisation of external security services contracts and cyber specific technologies deployed across EDP Group. To enhance its cybersecurity posture, EDP actively promotes collaboration with external entities, with EDP’s SOC being a member of the Portuguese Computer Security Incident Response Team Network and, at European level, a member of the European Trusted Introducer. This collaboration not only protects the company but also enhances trust and credibility among all stakeholders. The information security incident management process allows all users to report any situation that could potentially compromise the EDP Group's information security. These security incident reports trigger a comprehensive risk analysis, with treatment plans developed and approved in accordance with delegations of competence, and based on potential impacts and scope of risks. Security by Design The "Security by Design" approach is fundamental to ensuring that security is a priority from the beginning of the development process and at all management levels. At the EDP Group, this approach is integrated into the decision-making process and is applied comprehensively at all stages of development and operation. To further strengthen this strategy, the EDP Group is expanding the adoption of SSDLC – Secure Software Development Life Cycle – an essential tool for implementing the DevSecOps concept. The goal is to establish and ensure secure improvements for selected priority processes, ensuring that security is embedded in every phase of the software development lifecycle. With these initiatives, the EDP Group aims not only to protect its assets and data but also to promote a robust and proactive security culture throughout the organization. Resilience The cyber resilience strategy encompasses a set of preventive, detective, and responsive measures to mitigate the risks associated with digital threats that could compromise the operation and security of infrastructures, with one of the objectives of the area being to ensure continuous updating, optimization, and alignment with these requirements. EDP implements robust security controls that ensure the protection of assets, sensitive data, and industrial systems against unauthorized access, malicious attacks, and operational failures, while adopting strict control mechanisms for authentication, network segmentation, and applying efficient security policies, which contributes to the resilience and reliability of systems. In order to contribute to resilience even in the face of failure or cyberattacks, EDP continues to invest in redundancy and recovery strategies, including periodic backups, data replication, and business continuity plans. Through the implementation of an integrated and multidisciplinary approach, the organization aims to strengthen its position against the challenges of today’s cyber landscape, ensuring the protection and the resilience of its assets and operations, in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Human behaviour The EDP Group's cybersecurity awareness program is a robust and strategic initiative focused on mitigating risks associated with human behaviour and promoting a culture of information security throughout the organization. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 359| | | | | | | | | | To ensure the effectiveness of the program, EDP has structured the foundations in four areas: • effective communication \- channels and opportunities to communicate regularly and effectively with employees, enhancing their cybersecurity awareness and vigilance • Top Management support \- ‘Lead by Example’ approach: supporting cybersecurity initiatives and setting the tone for a culture where cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility • expert knowledge \- ensure that our experts have the tools, training, and resources needed to excel and adapt in a constantly evolving field • people-centered approach \- Alignment with People & Organization area to develop, promote, and track training initiatives, empowering our people to be EDP’s first line of defence. With a view to expanding on these subjects, the “Strengthen Cyber Culture” initiative aims to evaluate the threat landscape and identify the top human risks associated with human behaviours such as guidance and educational planning, improving the cybersecurity culture within the company and helping employees adopt safer behaviours and protect themselves and the organization. As main benefits of this initiative, we would highlight (1) preventing possible downtime due to cyber incidents, (2) mitigating the risk of incidents caused by human behaviour, reducing response costs associated with security breaches. Additionally, EDP remains focused on the continuous awareness and education, reinforced through regular testing with simulations to ensure all employees remain vigilant against evolving threats. Impacts, risks and opportunities management EDP has been continuously promoting an assessment of its information security system, which includes a constant risk assessment and the identification of improvement opportunities. Since 2017, the global Security Operations Center (EDP SOC) has maintained the ISO 27001 certification, renewed every 3 years. The global SOC provides services to the EDP Group, operates 24x7 and covers incident response processes, vulnerability management, and monitoring. In each assessment, opportunities for improvement are always analysed. The scope should be extended in 2025 to include the threat intelligence processes, and the certification will be according to the most recent version of the standard (ISO 27001:2022). The management of actions, whether associated with opportunities for improvement or non- conformities, is subject to assessment and, always based on a cost-benefit analysis, is treated according to priority. These assessments consider several types of impact, some of which we can highlight: • impact on confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of information • impact on legal and contractual requirements • financial impacts • impact on reputation. Digital Global Unit (DGU) organized its information security structure by capabilities, mapped to the Institute of Internal Auditors’ (IIA) three lines of defence and to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) cybersecurity functions, from the identification up to the recovery phase: • 1st line of defence - operationalization of cybersecurity • 2nd line of defence - definition of frameworks & planning • 3rd line of defence - internal and external audits. The main activities carried out in order to mitigate risk, strengthen operational robustness and overall maturity of some of these capabilities are highlighted next. Risk Management DGU has developed a Risk Management process which has been used since 2016, continuously improved and made ever more robust by its integration with internal tools. The Risk Management process entails all phases that are associated with the best practices from international standards such as ISO 27005 and ISO 31000. About the risk treatment end, when it comes to risk transfer, EDP has renewed its cyber insurance, which has been maintained since 2017, towards strengthening the risk posture. On the mitigation end, each risk assessment results in several action plans that generally reduce the likelihood of vulnerabilities being successfully exploited, thus minimizing residual risk. Business continuity and disaster recovery Annual disaster recovery tests are conducted to ensure the effectiveness of the disaster recovery plan. These tests are associated with applications under DGU management and are crucial as they help verify that the organization can restore data and applications to continue operations after a | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 360| | | | | | | | | | disruption, such as a natural disaster or IT failure. Regular testing of the disaster recovery plan helps identify and correct any flaws, evaluate the effectiveness of contingency measures, and ensure the team is prepared to handle real crisis situations. Additionally, DGU has a continuity plan that is tested annually to ensure its effectiveness, and in the 2024 disaster recovery tests, it achieved a 97% success rate. Internal Vulnerability Assessment A vulnerability management process is in place to identify and control vulnerabilities on EDP Group servers, and is structured through: • scheduled scans: Weekly, a scan is performed in one of the EDP environments (production, pre- production, and development), minimizing the application impact and covering different servers. The status of vulnerabilities and the monitoring of scans are discussed in biweekly meetings between the infrastructure and security teams • on-demand scans: Performed as needed, for a project or to analyse a specific group of servers, considering the potential application impacts. In the case of emerging vulnerabilities, analyses are scheduled to assess whether the EDP Group is affected. The results of the scans are treated according to the criticality of the vulnerabilities, both for infrastructure teams and application managers, who must mitigate the vulnerabilities to reduce the potential attack surface. It’s worth noting that an application can only go into production after undergoing vulnerability scans and cannot contain critical or high severity vulnerabilities, ensuring maximum security for applications and servers. In 2024, EDP conducted 3 purple team exercises involving the Global SOC. These exercises enhance cybersecurity by fostering collaboration between attack and defence teams, enabling quick identification of weaknesses and continuous improvement of defence mechanisms. Third-party vulnerability analysis As part of a security validation and monitoring strategy, assessments of the operationalization of information security activities at the various EDP Group power plants are frequently carried out. The main objective of these assessments is to identify vulnerabilities and promote the continuous improvement of security processes. Through these actions, the organization also aims to improve employee awareness of the importance of security and correct any non-conformities detected. All identified points of failure and improvement are duly recorded, and an action plan is defined for each situation. This ongoing effort reflects the EDP Group's commitment to maintaining a safe and efficient environment, ensuring the integrity of its operations and the protection of its assets. Cybersecurity awareness and human risk mitigation In 2024, EDP reached a significant milestone: 75% of employees received cybersecurity training and 99% participated in phishing or smishing exercises. In the process of integration into the company, all employees receive mandatory cybersecurity training. Depending on their profile and risk level, they are directed to specific training and exercises, such as that carried out at the EDP Cyber Range, where they face simulated cyberattack scenarios and are challenged to monitor, detect, and mitigate the impact of incidents. In addition, EDP promotes global and local events, participation in European and national cybersecurity exercises, maintains a global Cybersecurity Ambassador program, communicates awareness content through various channels and is aligned with the human resources area. Annually, or whenever necessary, the contents are reviewed and updated to reflect the most emerging and relevant cybersecurity risks. Auditing Not least important, as third line of defence, EDP has information security practices that are regularly audited by both internal and external entities, ensuring transparency, compliance, and continuous improvement, based on one approach that combines advanced technologies, industry best practices, and a culture of accountability to deliver resilient, secure, and reliable services in a constantly evolving cyber landscape. The evaluations carried out include not only an analysis from the perspective of operationalization, but also of the design of the controls themselves. Metrics and targets In 2024, the scope of analysis and monitoring was expanded, as well as the automation of information security incident reporting. The new sources allowed for increased cybersecurity visibility in cyberspace, which, supported by automation, led to a rise in the number of reported information security incidents to a total of 6,077. The cybersecurity rating adopted (defined as the group's KPI for this topic) observes the EDP Group's behaviour in cyberspace. EDP set a target of obtaining a rating equal to or greater than 800 for the year 2024. In the measurements carried out monthly, the target was achieved in all months, as can be seen in the graph, having ended the year with a value of 810, which positions EDP, | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 361| | | | | | | | | | according to the information provided by BitSight, in the top 1% ranking of utilities companies in the energy/resources industry, in a universe of more than 1,000 companies. BitSight Security rating Bitsight uses rating categories to help indicate the overall security performance of rated entities. In aggregate, entities with higher ratings have stronger security performance and lower cyber risk than entities with lower ratings. The average rating is 720. As the rating decreases, the risk an entity poses increases. Each entity's rating falls into one of the following categories: Advanced, between 740 and 900 (strong security performance and lower risk); Intermediate between 640 and 730 (fair security performance and moderate risk); Basic between 250 and 630 (poor security performance and higher risk) Data monetization Governance and policies The data governance model at EDP is based on a global alignment approach with local autonomy. It includes roles such as a Global Chief Data and Analytics Officer (GCDAO) and Chief Data and Analytics Officer (CDAO) for each business platform, Global Business Services (GBS), and Business Enablement Functions (BEF). EDP is implementing an AI risk management framework to ensure compliance with responsible AI guidelines and best practices. Data governance includes the definition of policies and controls for the adequate protection of data assets. The data governance policies cover recommended standards and norms, data governance processes, and an operational model for data management. EDP uses a set of global guidelines to harmonize data governance practices across the group. EDP promotes awareness of the importance of data governance through training and communication programs. Initiatives such as "AI2Leaders" and "Global Black Belts" are examples of training programs for leaders and data and AI specialists. Strategy EDP's vision is to transform data into power and intelligence into action, aiming to lead the global energy transition. The ambition is to become a leader in AI in the energy sector within three years. EDP seeks to create value with data and AI, accelerating digital transformation and improving data- driven decision-making. The main objectives include creating value with data and AI, accelerating digital transformation, and enhancing data-driven decision-making. EDP aims to use data and AI to drive innovation, optimize operations, solve complex problems in real-time, and create personalized experiences for customers. Data governance is structured around global and local principles, ensuring compliance with regulations and best practices. EDP has implemented a data and AI governance model that includes clear roles and responsibilities, defined processes, and data governance tools. The implementation of the data strategy involves the creation of data hubs, data governance, and the adoption of MLOps practices. Currently, there are more than 12 data hubs across various business platforms, regions, GBS, and BEF. Impacts, risks and opportunities management EDP identifies data monetization opportunities through market data analysis and the integration of data from different sources like weather forecasting, mobility indexes, geographic information such as CENSUS data, points of interest, and transportation networks. By leveraging these diverse data sources, EDP can enhance its energy generation forecasting and optimize asset operations. This approach augments the value extracted internally from the data EDP actively collects. Additionally, EDP provides data to the community in an aggregated or detailed manner, ensuring privacy is maintained. Examples include aggregated consumption data by municipality and grid network information. This data can be monetized by other companies, researchers, and individuals for various purposes, such as developing new products, conducting academic research, or improving business operations. To further capitalize on data monetization, EDP employs advanced AI and machine learning techniques to analyse and predict trends, optimize processes, and create innovative solutions. The company also invests in state-of-the-art data infrastructure and tools to support these initiatives. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Sustainability Statement | Other material topics| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 362| | | | | | | | | | By fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making, EDP ensures that data is not only a valuable asset internally but also a resource that can drive external innovation and economic growth. Metrics and targets EDP has defined a data domain directory and has already implemented 27% of the data domains by the end of 2024. This means that data ownership, semantics (business glossary), and mapping with data assets (data dictionary) are defined and governed. EDP has a landscape of 13 data hubs and several analytics platforms for data monetization through data value extraction using descriptive analytics, advanced analytics, and machine learning techniques. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 363| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 364| | | | | | | | | | | ---|--- 5.1.

These targets help us monitor progress and ensure continuous improvement in our sustainability efforts. Circular economy targets: • waste recovery rate: EDP aims to achieve 90% waste recovery rate along the value chain by 2026\. This target reflects our commitment to minimizing waste and maximizing the reuse and recycling of materials • renewables waste recovery rate: by 2026, EDP is committed to achieving an 85% waste recovery rate along the value chain for renewables (construction, operational and dismantlement waste of solar and wind farms). This target supports our efforts to promote circularity in renewable energy projects and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. The effectiveness of these targets is tracked and assessed through a comprehensive monitoring system. EDP collects data on waste generation and recovery rates from all relevant operations and projects, reporting this data quarterly and annually to ensure timely monitoring of progress. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are used to measure progress towards the targets, including metrics such as the percentage of waste recovered, the volume of materials recycled, and the reduction in waste sent to landfills. Stakeholders, including suppliers, employees, and local communities, are actively involved in the definition and implementation of these targets. Regular consultations and feedback sessions are conducted to ensure their perspectives are considered. The targets apply to EDP's activities across the entire value chain, including construction, operation, and dismantlement phases of renewable energy projects, and cover all regions where EDP operates. The targets are defined based on methodologies aligned with national and international standards, such as ISO 14001 for environmental management. Assumptions include baseline data from previous years, projected growth in renewable energy projects, and expected improvements in waste management technologies. EDP reports on the progress of these targets through its Integrated Annual Report and quarterly ESG reports, providing a comprehensive overview of the achievements and challenges faced in meeting the targets. Progress is assessed against the baseline year, and any deviations are analysed to identify areas for improvement. The targets are aligned with EDP's broader sustainability strategy and national and international policies, such as the European Green Deal and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This alignment ensures that EDP's efforts contribute to global sustainability objectives. How target relates to resources (resource use and circular economy) EDP is committed to setting and tracking specific targets that relate to resource use and circular economy principles. These targets are designed to ensure sustainable resource management, minimize waste, and promote the use of secondary (recycled) resources. The targets set are based on EDP’s Circular Economy Strategy, which focuses on the efficient use of natural resources from a life-cycle analysis perspective, with three main objectives: i. minimize the use of natural resources required for the execution of EDP's activities, promoting practices that reduce material extraction and consumption ii. optimize and efficiently manage internal products and services, aiming to promote the circular economy with its customers by encouraging practices that favour reuse, recycling, and extending the life cycle of materials iii. maximize the recovery of waste and its reintegration into the economy as by-products, promoting the valorization of materials and closing production cycles. As part of EDP’s Circular Economy Strategy, which is based on three core pillars—Reduction, Optimization, and Valorization—implemented through seven priority action areas, one of the seven priority axes of action is efficiency in the use of resources and materials. This axis focuses on promoting the reduction of inputs of resources and materials, as well as the reduction of waste outputs, thereby addressing resource efficiency and minimizing environmental impacts. Circular economy targets: • waste recovery rate: EDP aims to achieve a 90% waste recovery rate along the value chain by 2026\.

It generally takes the form of a questionnaire where suppliers are requested to provide information and supporting evidence on their ESG policies, practices, performance, and public disclosures. This information is then reviewed, verified, and analysed, resulting in an appraisal of the supplier's ESG performance, possibly with a score. This process is considered to be systematic verification because established specifications and requirements are met. Supplier desk assessments are more elaborate than supplier screenings as they assess the information provided by the supplier and are usually realized in a subsequent stage of the supplier assessment process.Desk assessments do not include onsite assessments of the supplier. Purchasing companies can implement their own supplier desk assessment tools or can use tools of external providers. For supplier desk assessments companies can use a third-party tool/methodology/online system in their assessment to evaluate the supplier and ensure a thorough review and appraisal of the information provided and that allows them to share the assessment results with other companies who might want to procure from. This could be RBA Risk-based SAQ, EcoVadis, Together for Sustainability, Achilles, Higg Facility Environmental Module (with remote verification), etc. Supplier Assessment | Critical suppliers with ESG assessments| 2-6; 414 | -|2 | Activities, value chain and other business relationships| Negative social impacts in the supplychain and actions taken | Disclosures 2021 | GRI 414: Supplier Social Assessment2016 | 1.7.6 KPIs for Supplier Assessment and/or Development| 1.2 | — | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024Annexes | Annex 3.

Reports on the allocation and impact of green finance and sustainability- linked loans Sustainable financing | | | ---|---|---|--- Alignment with the SDG | Objectives | KPIs 2024 | Target 2026 | Sustainable financing | 67% | 60% In the end of 2024, sustainable finance amounted to €21.5Bn: (1) €13.2Bn in green bonds; (2) €7.6Bn in sustainability-linked loans and (3) €0.7Bn in green loans. The withdrawn sustainable financing represented 67% of the nominal debt. This implies that EDP has reached two years in advance its target to have 60% of its funding from sustainable sources by 2026. Our Green Bonds and loans and sustainability-linked loans have promoted a greater alignment of the company’s financial policy with our sustainability strategy, while increasing market awareness for this topic. EDP’s sustainable financing has contributed heavily towards UN Sustainable Development Goal SDG 7: affordable and clean energy and SDG 13: climate action. Alignment with sustainability strategy EDP’s prioritization of investment in renewable generation started in 2006, through the anticipation of major trends in the energy market and the support to the vision of a society capable of reducing CO2 emissions, by replacing thermal with renewable energy, decentralizing generation, promoting smart grids and energy storage, and encouraging the demand for renewable electricity. Recognizing the climate emergency, EDP was one of the front runners undertaking the United Nation’s challenge during the Climate Summit in New York in 2019. EDP is committed to reduce emissions and to align its business strategy with the aim to limit global temperature raise to 1.5°C. Ramping up that commitment, EDP incorporated, in its Updated Strategic Plan 2021-2025, the ambitious goals to be coal free by 2025 and carbon neutral by 2030, supported by a strong investment in the acceleration of renewables installed capacity, smart grids, and decarbonized services for our customers. In the updated Business Plan for 2024-2026, EDP continued to lead the decarbonization of the energy sector by further reinforcing its investments in renewables with a €17Bn energy transition CAPEX plan and with annual gross additions of 3 GW to reach an ambitious target of 23 GW renewable additions by 2026, while continuing its fast adoption of innovative solutions. EDP reinforced its ambition even further to reach Net Zero by 2040 by including the Scope 3 emissions in its targets. With a new baseline year set for 2020, EDP aims to reach net-zero greenhouse emissions across the value chain by 2040, with ambitious mid-term targets by 2030. These targets have been approved by SBTi under the Net Zero Standard. These climate commitments were documented in EDP’s Climate Transition Plan (details [here](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-03/CTP_EN_Climate%20Transtion%20Plan.pdf)), which received overwhelming approval (99.73%) at the General Meeting of shareholders in April 2023\. The progress of these commitments is monitored in the Sustainability Statement (details in the section E1 Climate Change) and in our website (details [here](https://www.edp.com/en/sustainability/protecting-planet#clima)). The proceeds of green bonds, green loans, and sustainability-linked loans contribute substantially to the implementation of EDP’s Climate Transition Plan and to reach our objectives of becoming coal-free by 2025 and net zero by 2040\. Bonds and green loans are aligned with the taxonomy. For more details on the CAPEX indicator aligned with the Taxonomy, please refer to this report (section EU Taxonomy). The scope of the Taxonomy report includes the assets of subsidiary companies where the group exercises control as of 31 December 2024. It should be noted that the amount of green debt is not accounted for in the CAPEX indicator aligned with the Taxonomy. Thus, there is no double counting. Additionally, EDP's eligible green asset portfolio meets the EU Climate Transition Benchmarks and the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks rules. Green bonds and loans As part of EDP's strategy and to promote greater alignment of its financial policy with its sustainability strategy, in October 2018, the group (through EDP Finance BV) issued its first green bond, amounting to €600m (senior debt). Since then, and until the end of 2024, EDP has issued approximately €14.5Bn in green bonds: twelve senior debt issuances, two of which in US dollars, and eight subordinated debt issuances (hybrid). At the end of 2024, €13.2Bn green bonds remain outstanding. Additionally, EDP signed its first green corporate loan in 2023, for a total of €0.7Bn (one billion Singapore dollars). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Annexes | Annex 7.

A new update to our framework is underway to expand the eligible assets. In addition to wind (onshore and offshore) and solar projects, the assets financed under the EDP Green Finance Framework may include: Hydrogen, Hydropower, Electricity transmission and distribution, Electricity storage and Clean Transportation (such as electric vehicle charging points). | | | ---|---|---|--- | | | | Green BondsIssued over the period 2018-2024€14.5BnOf which, still outstanding€13.2Bn| | EDP’s green finance framework is aligned with ICMA's Green Bond Principles 2021, LMA's Green Loan Principles 2023 (GLP), as administered by LMA, the Asia Pacific Loan Association (APLMA) and the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA). The eligible assets and projects financed and refinanced will contribute towards the climate change mitigation objective of the EU Taxonomy. The framework is supported by a second-party review (SPO) from Sustainalytics. This report is part of the commitment to report on an annual and portfolio basis to investors on how the funding was allocated. The data presented here is externally verified. The details about the several issuances and the information included in this report is also available at EDP’s website ([under the fixed income section](https://www.edp.com/en/investors/bonds)). The impact indicators are the following: 1. Installed capacity of renewable (MW); 2. Net production of renewable (MWh) and 3. CO2 avoided emissions (tCO2), which corresponds to emissions that would have occurred if the renewable energy generated had been produced by thermopower plants. It is the sum of CO2 avoided in each geography where EDP operates. For each geography, the renewable production (wind and solar) is multiplied by the emission factor of the country's thermoelectric mix.The green funding allocated corresponds to the net proceeds of the issuances, calculated by extracting the upfront fees paid to arrangers from the gross proceeds. The approximately €13.8Bn issued in green bonds and loans between 2018 and 2024 still outstanding were fully allocated by 31 December 2024, with €5.5Bn being allocated to new projects wind and solar that came into operation between 2018 and 2024, €6.7Bn being allocated to existing projects and €1.5Bn to equity participations and acquisitions. It should be noted that the amount of green funding allocated to new projects corresponds to wind and solar farms that have begun operating at the year of the date of issuance of the respective green bonds. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Annexes | Annex 7.

EDP has committed to achieving Net Zero by 2040, reducing, in absolute terms, its CO2 emissions by 90%, against 2020 base year, including Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The impact of the allocated portfolio was 13.6 GW of renewable energy capacity, 29.5 TWh of annual renewable energy production and the avoidance of 16.6 MtCO2 of emissions. These impact metrics are consolidated at a portfolio level and applicable to the projects financed by green proceeds. It should be noted that, since 2022, following the publication of our 2022 Green Finance Framework, green proceeds can be allocated to acquisitions of companies and equity participations in entities substantially active in wind and solar, which do not have impact KPIs associated, namely installed capacity (MW), production (GWh) and GHG emissions avoided (tCO2). In terms of geographical split, 66% of the projects financed with green proceeds are in the United States (49%), Spain (10%) and Singapore (8%). A minority of projects is in Portugal (5%), Brazil (5%), Poland (5%), Romania (4%), United Kingdom (3%), France (3%), Mexico (3%), and Italy (2%). With negligible weight are projects in the geographies of Chile, Greece, Belgium, China, Canada, Vietnam, and the Netherlands.The following paragraphs report relevant information for investors on the application of EDP group's green bonds and loans proceeds and on the environmental benefits resulting from them. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Annexes | Annex 7.

Reports on the allocation and impact of green finance and sustainability loans | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part I| 471| | | | | | | | Sustainability – linked loans (SLL) The year of 2022 was marked by EDP’s first sustainability-linked Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) of €3.7Bn (RCF 2022), aligned with the Sustainability-linked Loan Principles from the Loan Market Association. EDP is at the front of the energy transition with ambitious commitments to achieve 100% renewables generation by 2030, and to become coal free by 2025 and carbon neutral by 2030\. The KPIs are presented below. They are included in EDP’s executive board of directors’ remuneration scheme. In 2024, EDP increased the amount of the RCF 2022 by €600m, totalling €4.3Bn. • KPI #1 (RCF 2022): Percentage reduction of total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per TWh produced by the group compared 2015 levels. Targets are aligned with 2025 public commitment to reduce by 70% and 2030 target to reduce by 98% by 2030, under the Business Plan 2021-2025, approved by SBTi with a decarbonisation path of 1.5⁰C. Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduced in 2024 by 63.8% compared to 2023, which corresponds a reduction of 92% against the 2015 emissions. Emissions intensity (scope 1+2) reduction (%), compared to 2015 (RCF 2022) Emi E In 2023, EDP refinanced its second sustainability-linked RCF of €3.0Bn (RCF 2023), in line with the principles of the Loan Market Association's sustainability-linked loans. The KPIs are identical to those of the RCF 2022. However, the targets have been updated in line with the updated business plan for 2023-2026 and public commitments. The base year for KPI #1 has been changed from 2015 to 2020. Additionally, in 2024, EDP executed multiple bilateral sustainability-linked loan agreements (Bilaterals 2024), totalling €0.4Bn. These bilaterals have maintained the same KPIs of the RCF 2023. • KPI #1 (RCF 2023 and bilaterals 2024): Percentage reduction of total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per TWh produced by the group compared 2020 levels. Targets are aligned with the Business Plan 2023-2026 and public commitments to reduce 77% by 2026 and reduce 95% by 2030 and approved by SBTi under the Net Zero Standard. GHG emissions reduced in 2024 by 63.8% compared to 2023, which corresponds a reduction of 81% against the 2020 emissions.

At the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 10 April 2024, shareholders resolved on the granting of authorization to the Executive Board of Directors for the acquisition and sale of own shares by | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 477| | | | | | | | EDP and subsidiaries of EDP for an 18 (eighteen) month period as from the proposal approved in the General Shareholders' Meeting. 4\. Change of company control EDP has not entered into any significant agreements that come into force, are amended or terminate in the event of a change in control of the Company following a takeover bid, except for normal market practice in terms of debt issuance. In fact, EDP is usually a party in financing agreements and issuer of bonds that include change of control clauses, which are typical set forth in such agreements and securities and are necessary for the completion of transactions, not considering that its existence is likely to harm the economic interest in the transfer of EDP shares, nor the free assessment by shareholders of the directors' performance. In addition, with regard to any measures adopted that determine payments or the assumption of charges by the Company in the event of a change in the composition of the management body, apart from the situations set out in the Remuneration Report, there are no contracts in force at EDP that provide for payments in the event of dismissal or termination by agreement of the duties of a director, nor any other measures that determine the assumption of charges by EDP in the event of a change in the composition of the management body. 5\. Defensive measures EDP has not taken any measures to prevent takeover bids that would put the interests of the Company and its shareholders at risk. The supplementary rules on this matter remain thus in force. In this regard, it is important to note that, pursuant to Article 15 (3) of EDP's current Articles of Association, votes cast by a shareholder on his own behalf or representing another will not be considered if they exceed 25% of all the votes corresponding to the share capital. Although EDP's Articles of Association impose this limitation on the exercise of voting rights, this limitation is not a measure to prevent successful takeover bids. In fact, the inability of the limitation on voting rights to prevent the success of a takeover bid is the result of EDP's current capital structure and of the compliance of the deliberative quorum of two- thirds of the votes cast, which is set out in EDP's Articles of Association for an amendment to the company agreement on this matter with Article 182 - A (2) of the Portuguese Securities Code. No defensive measures have been taken aimed at or resulting in serious erosion of EDP's assets in the event of transfer of control of the company or a change in the composition of the Executive Board of Directors, thereby prejudicing the free transferability of the shares and free appraisal by the shareholders of the performance of the members of the Executive Board of Directors. 6\. Shareholders' agreements According to the Article 7 of EDP's Articles of Association, shareholder agreements regarding the Company must be communicated in full to the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board by the shareholders that have signed them in the 30 (thirty) days following their conclusion. According to information provided to the Company by the shareholders, the Executive Board of Directors is aware of the existence of a single shareholder agreement, which was entered into on 11 April 2007 by Parpública, Caixa Geral de Depósitos, S.A. ("CGD") and Société Nationale pour la Recherche, la Production, Le Transport, La Transformation et la Commercialisation des Hydrocarbures ("Sonatrach"). Although Parpública has sold its shareholdings in EDP's share capital and CGD and Sonatrach do not own a qualifying shareholding in EDP's share capital, according to information at EDP's disposal this does not represent automatic cessation of the effects of the shareholder agreement. EDP has not been informed of any agreement to revoke or amend the said shareholder agreement. In 2021, EDP and Sonatrach agreed to terminate the partnership entered into in 2007, under which EDP assumed full control of the combined cycle natural gas plant, Soto 4, in Spain, with an installed capacity of 426MW, through the acquisition of 25% stake held by Sonatrach, and terminates the commercial relations with Sonatrach that were associated with this partnership.

Special powers of the managing body with regard to decisions to increase share capital The Executive Board of Directors has the powers enshrined in the law and Articles of Association to perform its duties, which are indicated in detail in item 21. In what concerns the approval of decisions on share capital increases, and according to Article 4 (3) of the Articles of Association, the Executive Board of Directors has the power to approve one or more share capital increases up to an aggregate limit of 10% of the current share capital via the issuance of shares to be subscribed by new entries in cash, in accordance with the issuance terms and conditions that it defines. The draft decision must be submitted to the General and Supervisory Board subject to a two-thirds voting majority of the respective members. By resolution of the General Shareholders' Meeting, held on 12 April 2023, pursuant to article 4(3) and (4) of EDP's Articles of Association, the authorisation granted to the Executive Board of Directors was renewed to: (i) increase EDP's share capital by up to 10% of the current share capital through the issue of shares to be subscribed by new cash contributions, on one or more occasions, for a period of 5 years from the date of the General Meeting, under terms and conditions to be defined, subject to prior approval by the General and Supervisory Board by a two-thirds majority, allowing, in particular, to resolve under the provisions of Article 6(2) of the Articles of Association, the issue of ordinary shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares representing EDP's share capital and (ii) increase the share capital, one or more times by an amount corresponding to a maximum of 10% of the current share capital, through the issue of shares, to be paid up in cash and subscribed by qualified investors using accelerated bookbuilding procedure(s), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the issue defined by it, provided that the issue price is not less than (a) 95 per cent of the weighted average share price on Euronext Lisbon on the date the price is set, or (b) 95 per cent of the weighted average share price on Euronext Lisbon in the maximum period of ten days ending on the said date the price is set, and the resolution proposal must be submitted for prior approval by the General and Supervisory Board by a two-thirds majority. It should be noted that, under the provisions of Article 4(5) of EDP's Articles of Association, the authorisations granted to the Executive Board of Directors under the terms of paragraphs 3 and 4 of the said article are not cumulative, in the sense that any shares issued under one of these authorisations will be subject to the maximum limit of the other, and that, therefore, in the use of either or both authorisations, the Executive Board of Directors may not approve share capital increases that exceed 10% of the current share capital. During the aforementioned 2023 General Shareholders’ Meeting, it was also decided to suppress shareholders' pre-emptive rights in capital increases to be decided by the Executive Board of Directors in EDP capital increase(s) carried out through accelerated bookbuild procedures in accordance with the terms and conditions of the issuance to be defined by the Executive Board of Directors and with a maximum limit of 10% of the current share capital, as provided for in Article 4(4) of the Articles of Association (not cumulative with the limit of the authorisation provided for in Article 4(3) of the Articles of Association). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 484| | | | | | | | 10\. Significant business relationships between owners of qualifying holdings and the Company In pursuit of its activity and regardless of its relevance, EDP conducts business with and enters into transactions under normal market conditions for similar operations with several entities, beyond which are included qualified shareholders of EDP or companies related to those. Thus, with reference to the 2024 exercise, it should be pointed out the performance of the following operations between companies of EDP Group and owners of qualifying holdings in EDP’s share capital: • The EDP Group, through EDP Clientes, S.A., provided electricity, gas supply services, solar panel installation and other related services to Cementos Tutela Veguín, totalling approximately €44.6m (Cementos Tutela Veguín is a subsidiary of the Masaveu Group, which in turn owns 55.9% of Oppidum Capital, S.L.); • Additionally, through the company EDP Comercial - Comercialização de Energia, S.A., agreed with the company Exus Management Partners to provide services relating to the installation of electrical infrastructures enabling the connection of two photovoltaic plants to the Public Service Electricity Grid, totalling approximately €2.144m (Exus Management Partners is a subsidiary of the Masaveu Group, which in turn owns 55.9% of the company Oppidum Capital, S.L); • As disclosed to the market on 17 June 2024, EDP concluded the sale of a 50% stake that the EDP Group held in Energia Asia Consultoria, Lda. to China Three Gorges International Limited, for a total consideration of around €100m. • As disclosed to the market on 9 October 2024, EDP, through its subsidiary EDP Renováveis, S.A., concluded the repurchase of a 49% stake in a wind portfolio of EDP Renováveis, S.A. in Portugal, Poland and Italy from two entities related to China Three Gorges - ACE Investment Fund I LP and ACE Investment Fund II LP - for a total amount of €0.58 Bn. As for the surrounding governance guidelines, on July 29, 2010, the General and Supervisory Board approved the first version of the “Regulation on Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Related Parties”, which was subject to review during 2015. On 17 May 2010, the Executive Board of Directors approved the rules on identification, in-house reporting and procedure in the event of conflicts of interest applicable to all EDP Group employees who play a decisive role in transactions with related parties. In the Company’s constant quest to adopt best practices, it has been promoting the revision of internal regulations governing conflicts of interest and business between related parties, and in May 2023 the latest update of the Policy on Transactions with Related Parties came into force, and is available for consultation at EDP’s website [Transactions with Related Parties Policy | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-02/Transactions_with_Related_Parties_Policy_%282023%29_ENG.pdf). The General and Supervisory Board noted that regarding 2024, in view of the cases analysed and the information provided by the Executive Board of Directors, that no evidence was found that the potential conflicts of interest underlying the transactions made by EDP may have been settled contrary to the interests of the Company. The Financial Matters Committee is responsible for supervising enforcement of the aforementioned policy and reports on its work to the General and Supervisory Board. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 485| | | | | | | | B.

B) Exercise of Voting Rights 12\. Restrictions on Voting Rights Pursuant to Article 15 (2) of EDP's Articles of Association, each share corresponds to one vote. The Company does not issue shares with special plural voting rights. According to Article 15 (9) of EDP’s Articles of Association, the holders of rights representing shares under ADR (American Depositary Receipt) programs may instruct the respective depositary bank in order to see their voting rights exercised or, alternatively, grant proxy to a representative designated by EDP for such purpose, in compliance with applicable legal or statutory provisions; the depository contract should regulate terms and ways for exercising the voting rights, as well as for cases in which such instructions do not exist. According to Article 15 (10) of the Articles of Association, EDP's shareholders can only participate and vote at the General Shareholders' Meeting if on the date of registration, 00:00 hours (GMT) of the fifth day of trading prior to that of the General Meeting, it owns shares corresponding to, under the Law and the Articles of Association, at least one vote and if they fulfil the other requirements set out in the respective notice of meeting. Shareholders who intend to participate in the general shareholders’ meeting must declare this in writing to the financial intermediary with which the individual registration account is open, and it is up to the latter to communicate the intentions received in accordance with the applicable legal terms to the chair of the Board of the General Shareholders’ Meeting (Article 15 (11) of EDP's Articles of Association and Article 23.º-C (3) of the Portuguese Securities Code). Shareholders who have expressed their intention to participate in a General Meeting pursuant to the law and the Articles of Association and have transferred ownership of the shares between the fifth day of trading prior to that of the General Shareholders' Meeting and the end thereof, must inform the Chair of the General Shareholders' Meeting and the CMVM immediately (Article 15 (12) of EDP's Articles of Association).EDP shareholders may exercise their right to vote on each of the items on the | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 486| | | | | | | | Agenda under the terms set out in the respective notice, which must provide for at least the possibility of exercise in the following ways: (i) by correspondence postal by means of a communication addressed to the Chair of the Board of the General Shareholders' Meeting, (ii) by electronic means, in advance of or during the meeting, as provided for in article 15 (6) of the Articles of Association. Pursuant to Article 15 (7) of EDP's Articles of Association, the Chair of the Board of the General Shareholders' Meeting must verify the authenticity and regularity of the votes cast in advance and ensure their confidentiality until the time of voting. Shareholders can find the necessary templates or instructions for exercising their voting rights by postal or electronically [at EDP's website](http://www.edp.com) . EDP has adopted a number of measures aimed at encouraging shareholders to exercise their right to vote by eliminating obstacles, particularly financial ones, which could affect the exercise of this right, as follows: • general circulation of the notice of meeting of the General Shareholders' Meeting with an express indication of the channels available for the exercise of voting rights and in publications at [CMVM](https://www.cmvm.pt/en/Pages/homepage.aspx)[ ](https://www.cmvm.pt/en/Pages/homepage.aspx) [website](https://www.cmvm.pt/en/Pages/homepage.aspx) and [EDP’s website](http://www.edp.com), in the Justice Ministry and in the Interbolsa Platform (My Interbolsa) and in the NYSE Euronext Lisbon newsletter; • payment of the costs of issuing declarations of ownership of shares for all shareholders who participate in the General Meeting. As per EDP’s Articles of Association, votes cast by a shareholder in his own name or as a representative of another exceeding 25% (twenty-five percent) of all the votes representing the share capital are not considered. This limitation applies to all decisions of the General Meeting, including those for which the law or EDP's Articles of Association provide for a qualified majority of the Company's share capital. Pursuant to Article 15 (5) of EDP’s Articles of Association, the votes attributable to the same shareholder, are considered to have been cast by the same shareholder, under terms of the legal provisions. Pursuant to Article 16 (3) and (4) of the Articles of Association, and for the purposes of limiting voting rights, EDP's shareholders are obliged to provide the Executive Board of Directors all information that it requests from them on facts concerning them and related to Article 20 (1) of the Securities Code. Noncompliance with this obligation shall result in prevention of the exercise of voting rights pertaining to the shares owned by the shareholder in question. If the limitation on the counting of votes affects a number of shareholders, it will operate in proportion to the ordinary shares owned by each one (Article 15 (4) (a) of the Articles of Association). Furthermore, shareholders who reach or exceed, directly or through votes attributable to them under legal terms, a shareholding of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, one third, half, two thirds and 90% of the voting rights corresponding to EDP’s share capital and anyone who reduces their shareholding to a value below any of those thresholds communicates must notify the Executive Board of Directors of this fact as soon as possible and within a maximum period of four trading days after the day on which the fact occurred or became known (Article 16 (1) of EDP's Articles of Association). 13\. Maximum percentage of voting rights that can be exercised by a single shareholder or shareholders that are related in some of the relations of Article 20 (1) See item 12. 14\. Decisions of shareholders who, under the Articles of Association, can only be made by a qualified majority other than those provided for by law Decisions by the General Meeting are taken by a majority of votes cast, unless the law or the Articles of Association require a qualified majority (Article 12 (3) of the Articles of Association). Article 11 (1) of the Articles of Association defines the performance of functions in any corporate body or other corporate structure is incompatible with: • the status of a legal person that is a competitor of EDP or a company in a control or group relation with EDP; • the status of a legal person or an individual related to a legal person that is a competitor of EDP; • the exercise of functions, of any nature or for any reason whatsoever, notably by appointment to a corporate office, by employment contract or by services provision agreement, at a legal person that is a competitor of EDP or at a legal person related to a legal person that is a competitor of EDP; • the appointment, even if only in fact, for a corporate body member by a competing legal person or a person, natural or legal, related to a legal person competing with EDP. Nevertheless, Article 11 (4) defines that the incompatibilities set forth in the foregoing paragraphs may also not apply to the performance of functions as a member of the general and supervisory | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 487| | | | | | | | board, to the extent permitted by law, subject to authorization given by prior resolution, with the favour of two thirds of the votes cast at the elective general shareholders’ meeting. The competition relation must be expressly referred to and precisely identified in the appointment proposal, and the authorization resolution may be subject to conditions, notably to a holding of no more than 10% of EDP’s share capital. It should also be highlighted that, according to Article 11 (10) of EDP’s Articles of Association, it should not be deemed to be a competitor of EDP the legal person shareholder that individually holds at least 20% of the share capital of EDP, and that, directly or through a legal person which is in a domain relationship with it, enters into and maintains a medium or long term strategic partnership of business cooperation in the activities of generation, distribution or supply of electricity or natural gas, approved in accordance with legal and statutory provisions, with prior favourable opinion of the General and Supervisory Board. In all other cases, the deliberative quorum set out in Article 383 (2) of the Portuguese Companies Code applies. II. Management and Supervision A) Composition 15\. Corporate governance model EDP's governance structure is a dual model one and consists of the General Meeting, Executive Board of Directors, General and Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor. The separation of management and supervision roles is embodied in an Executive Board of Directors, which is responsible for the management of the Company’s business, and a General and Supervisory Board, the highest supervisory body. The division of competences, inherent to such model, between the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board, has been assuring an effective management of the Company, benefited by a constant and attentive supervision. The dual model of corporate governance in place at EDP since July 2006 has allowed for an effective separation of the Company’s supervision and management in pursuit of the goals and interests of EDP and its shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders, thereby contributing to achieving the degree of trust and transparency necessary for its adequate functioning and optimization. It is also important to note that this governance model has proven to be adequate to the size and shareholder structure of the Company, allowing for constant supervision both by the reference shareholders and by the independent members, through the respective intervention in the General and Supervisory Board. Considering the transversal competences of the General and Supervisory Board and the specificities of the activities of the four Specialized Committees, the integration of members of the General and Supervisory Board and of the Executive Board of Directors of EDP should, according to the Selection Procedure of the members of the General and Supervisory Board and of the Executive Board of Directors, ensure diverse skills, professional experiences, diversity of knowledge, gender and cultures, taking into account the specificities of the Company's business. Along with the concern for the individual adequacy of each member, it is also sought that the composition of the corporate bodies and other corporate structures demonstrate a collective adequacy, bringing together the professional and personal skills necessary for the proper performance of the functions of each body of EDP. Likewise, in determining the respective number of members, the size of the Company, the complexity of its activity and its geographical dispersion are considered, in addition to the costs and the desirable speed of operation of the administration. According to Article 12 (2) (b) of the Articles of Association, it is the responsibility of the General Meeting of EDP to elect and dismiss the members of the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board, as well as their Chair and Vice-Chair, if any, and, at the proposal of the General and Supervisory Board, or a delegated by it, the Financial Matters Committee, the Statutory Auditors,. The General Meeting also appoints the members of the Remuneration Committee of the General Meeting. For a better understanding of EDP's corporate governance, [EDP's website](http://www.edp.com) allows shareholders and the general public to view the up-to-date Articles of Association in Portuguese and English, the Internal Regulation of the Executive Board of Directors, General and Supervisory Board and its committees, documents that have been modified in order to accommodate best practices, notably the principles and recommendations set forth by the Corporate Governance Code issued by the Portuguese Institute for Corporate Governance. Worth noting also that EDP has since 2010 a Corporate Governance Manual, whose primary objective consists of registering and sharing the provisions of the Executive Board of Directors and of General and Supervisory Board regarding best practices recommendations applicable to EDP on corporate governance. The Manual has a dynamic nature. It should therefore continue to be revised periodically, considering the contributions of all interested parties in the continuous development of EDP’s governance model. The Manual for the Corporate Governance of EDP is available to shareholders and general public at its website: [Corporate Governance Manual | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/manual_governo_societario_20160121_en_vf_0.pdf). | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 488| | | | | | | | In what concerns prevention and fighting against harassment at work, and complementing the commitments already taken on by EDP in its [Code of Ethics, available at EDP’s website](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/EDP_codigodeetica_EN_2022_vf.pdf), the Good Conduct Code for the Prevention and Fight Against Harassment at Work entered into force as of 21 November 2017 and it is applicable to all EDP Group’s employees. According to this Code, other service providers and suppliers are explicitly required to uphold or adhere to the principles established, in accordance with their obligations under qualification procedures or current contracts. In this regard, whistleblowing channels are available on EDP's website at [Speak Up EDP |](https://www.edp.com/en/about-us/speak-up)[ ](https://www.edp.com/en/about-us/speak-up) [edp.com](https://www.edp.com/en/about-us/speak-up) \- and on the other websites of the applicable EDP Group companies. Additionally, the Integrity Policy approved by the Executive Board of Directors has implemented the mandatory execution to all EDP Group companies as well as to its employees, service providers acting on its behalf, in strict compliance with the legal framework applicable in geographies where the Group is present which aim to avoid unlawful conducts, in particular those associated with the practice of corruption acts, money laundering and terrorism financing. EDP Group is committed to promote an exempt, honest, integrated, professional, and fair action and requires that its employees and contracted third parties behave in accordance with such commitment, complying with the legislation and regulation in force. The EDP Group Companies has implemented and has disseminated prevention, detection, and control measures towards any form of corruption, prevarication, conduct on conflict of interest, influence peddling, money laundering, terrorism financing and other illegal acts. In this regard, the EDP Group Companies may adopt more demanding additional measures, according to local needs, always ensuring the compliance with the local applicable legislation. Additionally, the Ethics & Compliance which independence is guaranteed through the reporting to the Executive Board of Directors and to the General and Supervisory Board/Financial Matters Committee of EDP is responsible to biennially review this Policy or whenever any relevant legislative change occurs, submitting those amendments to the Executive Board of Directors for approval. The Integrity Policy of EDP Group was revised in 2023 and is available at EDP’s website: [EDP Integrity Policy | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/Pol%C3%ADtica%20de%20Integridade%20rev%2010%202022%20EN.pdf). EDP intends to continue to assume a precursor and excellence role about the promotion of best government practices, in the hope that this initiative may also contribute to enrich the debate on these matters in the general context of the organization and functioning of public limited companies, particularly in Portugal. 16\. Articles of Association rules on procedural and material requirements for the appointment and replacement of members of the Executive Board of Directors and General and Supervisory Board It is the role of the General Meeting to elect and remove members of the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board, including their Chair.

Pursuant to Article 17 (2) of the Articles of Association of EDP, the Executive Board of Directors must have a minimum of three and a maximum of nine members. The members of the Executive Board of Directors may not exercise executive functions in more than two companies not integrating EDP Group, and the exercise of the referred functions shall be subject to prior appraisal by the Executive Board of Directors, according to Article 7 of the Internal Regulation of such body. At the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 10 April 2024, the members of the Executive Board of Directors were elected for the 2024-2026 term of office. On 31 December 2024, the Executive Board of Directors was composed as follows: | ---|--- EXECUTIVE BOARD OF DIRECTORS | FIRST APPOINTMENT DATE MIGUEL STILWELL DE ANDRADE - CHAIR| 20/02/2012 Rui Manuel Rodrigues Lopes Teixeira | 21/04/2015 Vera de Morais Pinto Pereira Carneiro | 05/04/2018 Ana Paula Garrido de Pina Marques | 19/01/2021 Pedro Collares Pereira de Vasconcelos| 12/04/2023 18\. Independent members of the Executive Board of Directors and General and Supervisory Board EDP's Articles of Association (Article 10 (1), Article 11 (1), Article 12 (2) (d), Article 22 (3), Article 23 (1) (a), Article 24 and Article 28) and the Internal Regulation of the General and Supervisory Board (Article 8), both available on its website: [Articles of Association of EDP ](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association)and [Internal Regulation of the](https://www.edp.com/en/regulation-general-and-supervisory-board)[ ](https://www.edp.com/en/regulation-general-and-supervisory-board) [General and Supervisory Board](https://www.edp.com/en/regulation-general-and-supervisory-board), lay down the rules on independence and incompatibilities for the exercise of functions in any corporate body or other corporate structure of EDP. The criteria of independence set out in EDP's Articles of Association are in line with those laid down in 414 (5) of the Companies Code and determine that independence means an absence of direct or indirect relations with the Company or one of its bodies and an absence of any circumstances that might affect impartiality of analyses or decisions, e.g. because the people in question own or are acting on behalf of owners of a qualifying shareholding of 2% (two percent) or more of the share capital of EDP or have been re-elected for more than two terms of office continuously or intermittently. Pursuant to Article 10 (1) of EDP's Articles of Association, independent members are those who are not associated with any specific interest group in the company, nor are they in any circumstance likely to affect their impartial analysis and decision, namely by virtue of holding or acting in the name and on behalf of holders of a qualifying holding equal to or greater than 2% of EDP's share capital or having been re-elected for more than two terms, continuously or in between. Under the terms of Article 10(2) of EDP's Articles of Association, teh corporate body or other corporate structure that must include independent members, should permanently assess whether the legal and statutory requirements as well as those resulting from recommendations that EDP should comply with are met. In case of non-compliance with the latter, non-compliance must be justified considering the specific reality of EDP. In view of the need to clarify the aforementioned Article 414 (5) of the Company Code, as there are diverging legal opinions, Associação de Emitentes de Valores Cotados em Mercado (“AEM”) requested an opinion from the CMVM , whose opinion was that the capacity as independent is only lost if, “on the basis of the criterion of number of terms of office, in a situation likely to affect his/her impartiality in analyses or decisions if the members of the supervisory bodies of public limited companies, having been elected for a first term of office and re-elected continuously or intermittently for a second and third term, are re-elected (for the third time, therefore) for a fourth term of office.” Pursuant to its Internal Regulation, the General and Supervisory Board has in place a specific procedure regarding compliance with a large number of rules on incompatibilities and independence applicable to positions on this board (Articles 7 and 8 of the General and Supervisory Board Internal Regulation). This procedure includes the following aspects: • acceptance of a position as member of the General and Supervisory Board is subject to a written statement setting out specifically (i) the inexistence of any incompatibility under the law or Articles of Association; (ii) compliance with the independence requirements set out in its Internal Regulation, if the person has been elected as an independent member; (iii) the members' obligation to report to the Chairman of the General and Supervisory Board or, for the Chairman, | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 492| | | | | | | | directly to the board any subsequent event that might generate incompatibility or loss of independence; • every year, the members of the General and Supervisory Board must renew their statements as to the inexistence of incompatibility and, if applicable, the compliance with the independence requirements. Also, every year, the General and Supervisory Board conducts a general assessment of compliance with the rules of incompatibility and independence by its members. At the same time, the Internal Regulation of the General and Supervisory Board (article 8) has broadened the independence criteria applicable to its members, going beyond the provisions of Article 414 (5) of the Companies Code and Article 10 of EDP's Articles of Association, and so people who directly or through their spouse or relative or similar in a straight line and to the collateral third degree, inclusive, are in one of the following situations cannot have independent status: • being holder, director, having contractual ties or acting on behalf or on the account of owners of a qualifying shareholding of 2% (two percent) or more of the share capital or voting rights in EDP or the same percentage in a company of which it is a subsidiary; • being a holder, director, having contractual ties or acting on behalf or on the account of owners of a qualifying shareholding of 2% (two percent) or more of the share capital or voting rights in a company that is a competitor of EDP; • having been re-elected for more than two consecutive or non-consecutive terms of office; • having exercised for twelve years, on a consecutive or non-consecutive basis, functions in any corporate body of the Company exception made to, from the end of its functions in any body and its new appointment, at least a three-year period has elapsed; • having, in the last three years, provided services or had a significant commercial relation with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; and, • being a remuneration beneficiary paid by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries other than the remuneration deriving from the execution of its functions as a member of the General and Supervisory Board. The rules of independence covering members of the General and Supervisory Board are particularly important regarding the following requirements: • the board must consist of a majority of independent members (Article 434 (4) and Article 414 (5) and (6) of the Companies Code and Article 22 (3) of EDP's Articles of Association); • the majority of the members appointed to the Specialised or Monitoring Committees set up by the General and Supervisory Board must be independent (Article 24(4) of EDP's Articles of Association); • the Financial Matters Committee is composed, at least by, three independent members of the General and Supervisory Board (Article 23 (2) of EDP Articles of Association and Article 3 (1) of the Financial Matters Committee’s Internal Regulation); In compliance with the above procedure, at the start of their terms of office, the members of the General and Supervisory Board stated that they were not in any of the situations of incompatibility set out in the Companies Code (Article 414-A (1) (a) to (e), (g) and (h) (ex vi Article 434 (4)) and Article 437 (1)) or under Article 11 (1) of the Articles of Association and, where applicable, that they complied with the independence requirements of the Internal Regulation of the General and Supervisory Board and the Articles of Association of EDP (article 10 (1), article 12 (2) (d) and article 22 (3)) . Of the incompatibility situations for the exercise of the role of member of the General and Supervisory Board, pursuant to the Article 414-A of the Companies’ Code, it is considered the exercise of functions of administration or supervisory in five companies. Therefore, one may not be elected or designated a member of the General and Supervisory Board if holds office of administrator or supervisor in five companies. At the end of 2024, the members of the General and Supervisory Board renewed their statements on incompatibilities and on independence. The above statements are available to the public at EDP's website at [General and Supervisory Board](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2025-02/Declaracoes_CGS_ENG_dez2024_1565242_8.pdf)[ ](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2025-02/Declaracoes_CGS_ENG_dez2024_1565242_8.pdf) [Incompatibility Statements](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2025-02/Declaracoes_CGS_ENG_dez2024_1565242_8.pdf). The independent members of the General and Supervisory Board are shown in the chart in Item 17 above. 19\.

Internal Organisation I. Articles of Association 48\. Rules on amendments to the company’s Articles of Association EDP's Articles of Association do not set forth special rules on their amendment and the general rule set out in 3 Article 386 (3) of the Companies Code therefore applies, i.e., decisions to amend the Articles of Association must be approved at a General Meeting by two-thirds of the votes cast. EDP's Articles of Association may also be amended under the powers of the Executive Board of Directors to move EDP's registered office (Article 2 (1) of EDP's Articles of Association) and increase EDP's share capital (Article 4 (3) and (4) of EDP's Articles of Association) provided that a favourable prior opinion of the General and Supervisory Board is obtained (article 18 (2) paragraph g) of EDP's Articles of Association). II. Whistleblowing 49\. Whistleblowing policy and channels The EDP Group has long pursued principles of trust and transparency regarding the way it develops its activity and relates to all its stakeholders, making its options clear in this matter, both through the Code of Ethics, first published in 2005, and through the Integrity Policy. These principles of trust and transparency naturally include channels for reporting alleged unethical and/or illegal behaviour, which all stakeholders can use whenever they consider that the company's ethical and integrity principles may be at risk. The implemented whistleblowing management system follows essential and deterministic guiding principles at each stage, such as independence, impartiality, and objectivity in the analysis and handling of registered cases, along with the guarantee of absolute confidentiality. Complaints can also be reported anonymously, although the possibility of any interaction deemed necessary with the complainant is guaranteed. EDP ensures the protection and non-discrimination of whistleblowers who make their communications, reports, or complaints in good faith and on a well-reasoned basis, even if the reported facts are not precise or do not lead to any disciplinary or judicial process, and no acts of reprimand or retaliation will be admitted that, directly or indirectly, motivated by a report, cause or may cause the whistleblower any unjustified harm. EDP provides access to the[ Speak Up channels, through its website](https://www.edp.com/en/about-us/speak-up), as well as to the respective Whistleblowing Management Regulation, that can be read at: [Whistleblowing Management](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/Eng_Regulamento_Gestao_de_Denuncias_-_Speak_Up_30052023_1565242_0.pdf)[ ](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/Eng_Regulamento_Gestao_de_Denuncias_-_Speak_Up_30052023_1565242_0.pdf) [Regulation Speak Up | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/Eng_Regulamento_Gestao_de_Denuncias_-_Speak_Up_30052023_1565242_0.pdf). The Ethics Commissions of EDP and EDPR play a crucial role in this system, being responsible for the analysis and deliberation on the received reports, as well as for promoting principles of business ethics. These commissions are composed of qualified and independent members who act with impartiality and rigour to ensure compliance with the Code of Ethics and the company's internal standards. Detailed information on the reports received by the Ethics Commissions in 2024 can be found in the Annexes to the Integrated Annual Report under "Other Indicators". III. Internal Control and Risk Management 50\. People, bodies, or committees responsible for internal audits or implementation of internal control systems The EDP Group, in line with its commitment to ensure the exercise of its activity in accordance with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, has implemented a Compliance Management System, coordinated by the Ethics & Compliance. This system, aligned with the risk management model, founded on a solid internal control system, structured according to the "three lines of defence," which operate in an integrated manner to identify and adequately manage the risks arising from the activity. Under this system: • The First line of defence (Business): has, among others, the responsibility for the daily and proactive management of compliance risks, in line with the established regulations. The main responsible are the decision makers of each functional, business or support unit and all its employees working in these areas. • The Second line of defence (Ethics & Compliance): it has, among others, the responsibility of ensuring business support in the identification, analysis, evaluation, mitigation, and monitoring of risk, as well as challenging and questioning the potential risks that may arise. The Ethics & Compliance team, the Ethics & Compliance Focal points and the Ethics & Compliance Supporters can be identified as the main responsible parties. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 515| | | | | | | | • The Third line of defence (Internal Audit): it has, among others, the responsibility for conducting independent audits to the Compliance Management System. These audits may also be carried out by independent external entities with recognized capacity for that purpose. This model enables the rationalization of resources and efforts, promotes coordination between functions, and standardizes language, connecting all Regions, Platforms, Business Enablement Functions, and Global Business Services through a common infrastructure that shares the same processes and information systems. This facilitates the harmonization of guidelines and methodologies across the organization and different regulatory scopes, ensuring alignment with other internal policies and procedures and promoting the continuous improvement of the actions developed. Specifically, within the scope of the 2nd line of defence, Ethics & Compliance has the mission to promote a culture of compliance based on the highest ethical standards, through the identification of relevant ethics and compliance risks and the dissemination and coordination of the implementation of mechanisms that promote compliance and ethics, providing proactive and systematic advice to the entire organization, namely regarding policies and instruments for managing business ethics. The Ethics & Compliance activity is essentially based on the following pillars: • Identification, analysis and assessment of ethics and compliance risks; • Promotion and coordination of the implementation of policies, procedures, and other control mechanisms, in order to mitigate the identified ethics and compliance risks; • Development of training and communication on ethics and compliance; • Monitoring the implementation of procedures and other ethics and compliance mechanisms adopted, in order to assess the maintenance of their adequacy and effectiveness; • Implementation of a whistleblowing management system; • Periodic reporting to the Executive Board of Directors and the Financial Matters Committee of the most relevant topics that may represent a significant risk for the Group. It also has as main responsibilities to contribute to the continuous improvement of risk management processes associated, in an external plan, with legal and regulatory compliance and, in an internal plan, with compliance with the internal regulations and procedures in force, also ensuring the implementation of the Internal Control over for Financial Reporting System (ICFR). In the performance of its duties, the Ethics & Compliance reports hierarchically to the Chairman of the Executive Board of Directors and functionally to the General and Supervisory Board, through its Financial Matters Committee. For its part, the Executive Board of Directors establishes a culture of tone at the top in ethics and compliance matters, approving, disseminating, and ensuring the implementation of EDP's Compliance Management System in line with the Group's strategic objectives. The General and Supervisory Board monitors and supervises the implementation of the referred ethics and compliance culture and, through the Financial Matters Committee, approves the Ethics & Compliance activity plan, also ensuring the follow-up of the respective execution. The EDP Group has adopted a model to structure its Compliance Management System, which has approved by the Executive Board of Directors and by the Financial Matters Committee, and is formalized in the EDP’s Compliance Standard, updated in 2024. This system is aligned with international best practices, with EDP having obtained the ISO 37301 - Compliance Management Systems - certification. The Compliance Management System demonstrates the EDP Group’s commitment to ensure (i) an adequate identification, assessment, and management of non- compliance risks, in order to minimize the risk of sanctions, namely financial and possible operational and reputational impacts, and (ii) the confidence of its stakeholders, reinforcing the EDP Group's competitiveness. Based on the defined governance model, the EDP Group's Compliance Management System is developed from a risk assessment, which is reviewed periodically or whenever there are material changes in the legal and regulatory context or the organizational context. This assessment allows the identification of the legal requirements and others compliance obligations or of the most relevant normative scopes for the organization, resulting in the structuring and development of different Specific Compliance Programs, through a process that goes through different sequential phases: (i) planning, (ii) conceptual structuring and design, (iii) support for implementation; (iv) monitoring of implementation and (v) ongoing maintenance and continuous improvement. At the level of each Specific Compliance Program level, following the methodological approach of the Group’s Compliance Management System and based on the identification and evaluation of their specific risks, policies, procedures, and other compliance mechanisms are developed. Through these policies, procedures and mechanisms, the fundamental principles of compliance management are formalized, and the rules and control mechanisms implemented are detailed, reflecting on activities developed internally or by third parties on behalf of EDP, and which are key elements for the dissemination of a compliance culture throughout the Group. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 516| | | | | | | | Ethics & Compliance ensures the follow-up and monitoring of the development, operation, and implementation of the Specific Compliance Programs. In accordance with the respective annual activity plan, the Internal Audit function conducts specific audit work, addressing ethics compliance topics. Additionally, the Compliance Management System and some Specific Compliance Programs are also subject to independent external audit. The results of the monitoring and any recommendations issued by internal or external audits are considered for the purpose of improving compliance management, with a view to continuous improvement. For more information on the development of the main Specific Compliance Programs and training, see the sections "Business Ethics" and "Other material topics - Information Privacy and Security" in the Sustainability Statement. From the established governance model, and with the objective of identifying, assessing, monitoring, and controlling the risks to which the EDP Group is exposed, in addition to the Ethics & Compliance, the Risk and the Internal Audit also play an important role. The Risk is primarily responsible for coordinating risk assessment studies for the Group, with the aim of supporting the Executive Board of Directors in their control and mitigation and providing integrated risk-return analyses, as presented the respective chapter, which activity is detailed in items 52 to 54 of this Annual Report. In turn, Internal Audit, formalised in the EDP Group's Basic Internal Audit Standard, revised in 2021, is an objective and independent activity, of guarantee and advisory, aimed at adding value and improving operations of EDP Group, assisting the organization in pursuing its objectives, through a systematic and disciplined approach in assessing and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance procedures. The internal audit function has the mission of increasing and protecting the value of EDP, providing assurance, advisory and insight, covering several fields of action. The EDP Group's Internal Audit is a corporate function performed by the Internal Audit, which has a double dependency, on the one hand administrative structure of the Chair of the Executive Board of Directors and, on the other, functional of the General and Supervisory Board, through the Financial Matters Committee to which reports the respective exercise. Internal Audit has teams in Portugal, Spain, United States of America, Brazil and Singapore. Regarding the areas that make up the Internal Audit, although each area has (business audits and information systems audits) its specific duties, multidisciplinary and the growing interaction between the audit teams have allowed synergies in the analysis of information and data extracted from computer systems to support business processes and, therefore, a better quality of the conclusions obtained, a closer proximity to the business and an increasing monitoring of the degree of evolution of the projects most relevant. On the other hand, Internal Audit commitment to quality and the continuous improvement of the processes and activities it carries out led to the creation of the Quality and Continuous Improvement Office, which, in a fundamentally methodological aspect, ensures an internal service with a view to increasing value added in relation to the internal audit activity in the EDP Group. The Internal Audit, as well as all professionals assigned to this function, govern their performance by the Fundamental Principles for the Practice of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics and the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing approved by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). EDP Group has internal auditors experienced in several areas (e.g., finance, accounting, audit, information systems), with a deep knowledge of the Group, allowing a multipurpose and transversal analysis of the issues in question and of the activities carried out. In addition to specific training and experience in the area, the employees assigned to the information systems audit area know the systems implemented in the Group and follow market trends, allowing them to obtain a broad view of the systems and processes with the greatest technological risk. and of greater relevance for the different Business Units. The internal audit activities are developed based on plans aligned with the objectives and mission of the function, in which the audit works that comprise them have as main inputs the consultation with the government bodies and the alignment with the Group's Strategic Plan and with the sustainability objectives, the prioritization of processes based on the risk analysis carried out by Internal Audit, the interactions with the statutory auditor throughout the year and the consideration of topics of interest that it has identified in the scope of the SCIRF audit and the financial audit, international trends and best practices in matters of internal audit, and the identification and assessment of the control environment existing in the various lines of defence that affect each process, in a perspective of Combined Assurance. Internal Audit lines of activity are the analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability, and integrity of information, both financial and operational, compliance with internal procedures and standards, compliance with external standards, auditing of information systems and integrity of assets. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 517| | | | | | | | The changing macroeconomic, social, and political context, as well as the growing technological transformations and the news and changes that have been affecting the energy sector in general and the EDP Group in particular have forced a constant adaptation of the internal audit activity in order to maintain an ability to respond adequately to the challenges ahead, aiming to maximize the added value that this activity can and should offer to its stakeholders. Internal Audit has been monitoring the extent and development of the Group's activity in new markets, business lines and geographies, incorporating in its business plan, actions aimed at evaluating and reinforcing the existing internal control environment. The continuous auditing model has evolved consistently, consolidating the methodology, continuing existing audits, implementing new audits to evaluate different business areas, some with real-time analysis, with a set of new indicators and automation of communication exceptions to the audited entity at the time they are detected. It is a robust monitoring and evaluation model, very relevant for the automatic processing of a high volume of data, allowing to obtain efficiency gains in terms of internal control and in the prevention and detection of irregularities. Within the scope of information systems audits, actions have been carried out covering several areas of high criticality, considering, in particular, the digitization program underway at the EDP Group, which has been a lever for strengthening and growing business processes, the increase in processes/activities analysed by continuous auditing and the expansion of routine automation in order to speed up the monitoring of the Group's information systems. In recent years, the existing competencies in the field of information systems and data analytics have been strengthened by recruiting employees who are specialists in these matters in an internal audit perspective, complementing the profiles already existing in the information systems and operational audit teams. The relationship with the various stakeholders is developed, mainly, through periodic meetings with the Financial Matters Committee and the members of the Executive Board of Directors, interactions with first-line business leaders, audited areas, and other areas of the Group, such as Risk, ESG, Legal & Governance, People & Organization, Regulation, Markets and Stakeholders, Strategy and M&A, Financial Planning & Analysis, Ethics & Compliance, Digital, in order to identify risk areas and to ensure the update on the various matters of the organization. Internal Audit carries out, annually, a process of self-assessment of the Group's internal audit activity, which consists of a reflection and analysis on the structure, composition, skills, relationship, reports, methodologies, DAI procedures and work carried out throughout the year, among others, and includes a global conclusion expressed by the responsible person of Internal Audit's activity in line with the best practices of the function. On the other hand, Internal Audit activity and performance is evaluated annually by the Financial Matters Committee based, among others, on the analysis of the interaction that the Commission develops throughout the year with the Internal Audit and on the analysis of information and documentation made available by it regarding the process of its self-assessment. Internal Audit activity has been subject to external evaluations since 2010 by the IIA (every 5 years, as established in the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing) and, since that date, the opinion of the evaluation teams has been that the internal audit activity "Generally Complies" with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and the IIA Code of Ethics, this qualification being the highest granted by the IIA. The last external evaluation took place in 2020, in all locations where the internal audit function is developed, with the aim of obtaining joint independent certification, with the opinion issued in the external evaluation reports being that the internal audit activity “generally complies” with the Standards and Code of Ethics issued by the IIA in all locations (Portugal, Spain, United States and Brazil), in all its aspects (government, personnel, management and procedures). It is also worth mentioning, and in line with the information described above, the competence of the General and Supervisory Board, which, under legal terms, permanently monitors and evaluates the internal procedures related to accounting and auditing matters, as well as the effectiveness of the risk, the internal control and the compliance management system. This competence is attributed to the Financial Matters Committee, which is responsible, among other tasks, for permanently monitoring and supervising: (i) financial matters and accounting practices; (ii) internal audit practices and procedures; (iii) the internal mechanisms and procedures of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting System (SCIRF); (iv) matters relating to the risk management and control system; (v) the activities and mechanisms of the compliance management system and (vi) the activity and independence of the company’s Statutory Auditor. 51\. Description of hierarchical and/or functional dependency on other company bodies or committees In the performance of their duties, the Internal Audit administratively reports to the Chair of the Executive Board of Directors and functionally reports to the General and Supervisory Board that supervises its activity through the Financial Matters Committee. On the other hand, the Compliance & Internal Control Global Unit reports hierarchically to the Executive Board of Directors, and functionally to the General and Supervisory Board through the Financial Matters Committee. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 518| | | | | | | | The Risk reports hierarchically to the Executive Board of Directors, without prejudice to the permanent monitoring, by the Financial Matters Committee, of risk-related matters, as described in item 52 below. 52\. Other company areas with risk control duties Risk management is an integral part of business management and is everyone's responsibility, from the Executive Board of Directors down to the individual employee. Everyone is responsible for being aware of the risks in their area of activity and managing a way that is integrated with their roles, competences and delegated responsibilities. The EDP Group manages its significant risks from a portfolio perspective, optimizing the risk-return ratio across all its business areas, with a view to create value and standing out in the markets in which it operates. The EDP Group also endeavours to constantly improve its risk management to reflect the evolution of its needs and to keep in line with the best international risk management practices. The integration of risk management into the most relevant business and decision-making processes is promoted, as a component of (i) strategic development, (ii) investment decisions, (iii) the business plan and (iv) operations management, with the purpose of ensuring stable results and optimising the capacity to respond to changes in context and opportunities. The risk management process is structured around three lines of defence (business, risk management/ compliance and internal and external auditing), each conducted independently and ensuring an adequate degree of segregation from the others. The functions of identifying, analysing, assessing, treating, and monitoring risk are overseen by a set of bodies with clearly established roles and responsibilities, typified by the Group's policies, which are approved and ratified by the competent bodies. Below are brief descriptions of these bodies, complemented by the responsibilities available on EDP's website: [EDP's Risk Governance Model | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/en/investors/corporate-governance/risk-management-policy#risk-governance-model): • The General and Supervisory Board, in particular the Financial Matters Committee, is responsible for permanently monitoring the effectiveness of the risk management system, namely in terms of risk identification, assessment, control and management and assessing the degree of internal compliance with the Company's risk management system, continuously monitoring its performance and effectiveness, in articulation with the Executive Board of Directors, namely the risk control policies, the identification of key risk indicators (KRI) and the integrated risk evaluation methodologies, and must evaluate and issue its opinion on the EDP Group's strategic guidelines and corporate risk management policy, prior to their final approval by the Executive Board of Directors. The Financial Matters Committee defines in its annual planning sessions dedicated to risk management issues, in order to monitor the evolution of the Group's main exposures and Key Risk Indicators, as well as to address issues related to financial, strategic, ESG, business and operational risks. • The Executive Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the decision, supervising and controlling risk management, and is responsible for setting the EDP Group's management objectives and policies. In addition to sharing the responsibilities defined for the Boards of Directors, it is also responsible for defining the Risk Appetite set out in the Business Plan, defining the EDP Group's risk policies (in particular, the respective exposure limits by risk category) and for allocating resources in accordance with the risk-return profile of the various options available. • The Risk Business Enablement Function headed by the Chief Risk Officer, performs a function that is independent from the conduct of business, and supports the Executive Board of Directors and remaining management bodies at the level of the second line of defence. The Risk Business Enablement Function is divided between: ◦ The Risk Centres of Excellence (CoE) are divided in three: Corporate CoE, responsible for the Enterprise Risk Management, the analysis and overview of the strategic risks, the aggregation of the full EDP risks and the external risk reporting; Financial CoE, responsible for the management of the financial risks, defining the insurance strategy and developing risk analysis for new investments, and; Counterparty CoE, responsible for counterparty risk management, including the analysis and establishment of limits for the acceptance of new contracts. ◦ The Platform Business Partners, which play the main role in operationalising risk management and are under the direct hierarchical dependence of both the Group's Chief Risk-Officer and of the respective Platform Management Team, acting in a segregated manner and independent from the conduct of the business. • The risk-owners of the Platforms, Regions and Business Enablement Functions are all the business managers who assume risk in their day-to-day activities and act in accordance with the defined risk strategies. Furthermore, there are a number of regular forums for debating, analysing and issuing opinions on risk issues: • The Global Risk Committee's main objective is to support the decisions of the Executive Board of Directors in identifying, analysing, assessing, treating and monitoring risk. New policies and risk limits or update of those are discussed and approved in this forum.

The Committee is made up of the main decision- makers and those responsible for the Group's recurrent risk management (members of the Executive Board of Directors, regional and platform heads, key corporate areas and members with responsibility for risk management of the main platforms/geographies). • The Financial Risk Committee main objective is to review main financial risks and discuss the execution of mitigation strategies. Exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, commodities risk and credit risk from financial counterparties are most relevant risks reviewed in this committee. Additionally, an overview of the risk assessments developed for the new investments is also discussed. This Committee meets on a quarterly basis. The Committee is made up of the main finance decision-makers and those responsible for the Group's recurrent financial risk management (members of the Executive Board of Directors, regional and platform heads, key Finance team members, key corporate areas and members with responsibility for risk management of the main platforms/geographies). • The Risk Monitoring Committee meets monthly to provide an overview of the most relevant risk exposures, namely growth execution risk, energy market risk, regulatory risk and counterparty risk. Additionally, a status of all risk limits is provided, focusing on the exposures that are beyond the limit and/or that had relevant changes. The Committee is made up of the main decision-makers and those responsible for the Group's recurrent risk management (members of the Executive Board of Directors, regional and platform heads, key corporate areas and members with responsibility for risk management of the main platforms/ geographies). • The Platform Risk Committees are set up and carried out at the level of the Group's Platforms when the structure of the Platform and the degree of complexity of risk management justifies it, assuming a structure replicated from the Group’s Risk Committee. These Committees are typically coordinated by the respective Risk Business Partner and are attended by members of the Platform Management Team, key areas of the Platform, as well as the Chief Risk Officer, to ensure alignment at Group level. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 520| | | | | | | | 53\. Identification of the main types of risks to which the company is exposed in the course of its business The EDP Group's risk taxonomy aggregates, from an integrated perspective and in a common language, the various risk mappings existing at the level of the Group's various Business Units, and is structured around four large families: strategic and ESG, business, financial and operational. The figure below shows the risk categories to which EDP is exposed.

Transactions with Related Parties I. Mechanisms and Procedures of Control 89\. Company mechanisms for monitoring transactions with related parties As part of the qualitative reinforcement of governance practices, and since 2009, EDP and, in particular, the General and Supervisory Board, has been promoting the revision of the internal regulations governing transactions with related parties, given the constant search to adopt the best practices by the Company. To this end, the internal regulations governing conflicts of interest and business between related parties were reviewed, and in 2023 the Company revised its Related Party Transactions Policy, available for consultation on EDP's website: [Transactions with Related Parties Policy | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-02/Politica_de_Transacoes_com_Partes_Relacionadas_%282023%29_ENG.pdf). The Financial Matters Committee is responsible for issuing a reasoned opinion on matters subject to a prior opinion by the General and Supervisory Board, which concern transactions between related parties, supported, whenever applicable, by reasoned opinions from the Risk and Compliance Departments, which must be made known to the General and Supervisory Board. 90\. Transactions that underwent controls in the year Attentive to the current reporting obligations, the Executive Board of Directors, during 2024, sent information on transactions with related parties to the General and Supervisory Board and/or the Financial Matters Committee. The following transactions are included in this report: • The EDP Group, through EDP Clientes, S.A., provided electricity, gas supply services, solar panel installation and other related services to Cementos Tutela Veguín, totalling approximately €44.6M (Cementos Tutela Veguín is a subsidiary of the Masaveu Group, which in turn owns 55.9% of Oppidum Capital, S.L.); • Additionally, the EDP Group, through the company EDP Comercial - Comercialização de Energia, S.A., agreed with the company Exus Management Partners to provide services relating to the installation of electrical infrastructures enabling the connection of two photovoltaic plants to the Public Service Electricity Grid, totalling approximately €2.144M (Exus Management Partners is a subsidiary of the Masaveu Group, which in turn owns 55.9% of the company Oppidum Capital, S.L); • As disclosed to the market on 17 June 2024, EDP concluded the sale of a 50% stake that the EDP Group held in Energia Ásia Consultoria, Lda. to China Three Gorges International Limited for a total consideration of around €100M; • As disclosed to the market on 9 October 2024, EDP, through its subsidiary EDP Renováveis, S.A., concluded the repurchase of a 49% stake in EDP Renováveis, S.A.'s wind portfolio in Portugal, Poland and Italy from two entities related to China Three Gorges - ACE Investment Fund I LP and ACE Investment Fund II LP - for a total amount of €0.58 Bn. The General and Supervisory Board noted that, with basis on the cases analysed and information provided by the Executive Board of Directors for 2024, there was no evidence that the potential conflict of interests in EDP operations were resolved contrarily to the Company’s interests. At the same time, it is important to highlight Article 18(2) of EDP Articles of Association, that defines a number of matters subject to prior opinion from the General and Supervisory Board. This corporate body has competences to set the parameters for measuring the economic or strategic value of the operations that must be submitted for its opinion, and these were updated by the referred Board on the 13 May 2021. In this context, in 2024, five investment/divestment operations were submitted for the prior opinion of the General and Supervisory Board, with an average value of €200m, as well as three financing operations, with an average value of approximately €1.2Bn, with one of these investment/divestment operations underlying a transaction with a related party. Regarding the use of the expedited mechanism for issuing a prior opinion, two operations were submitted to the General and Supervisory Board for financing reasons, with an average value of €1,100M, and two operations regarding investments or divestments, with an approximate average amount of €380M. The signing of two bilateral loans with the European Investment Bank ("EIB"), intended for green financing, totalling up to €1.7 Bn, was the largest value transaction approved under this mechanism during 2024. Also in this context, during the 2024 financial year, seven operations were submitted to the United States of America Business Affairs Monitoring Committee for a prior opinion, with an average value of approximately $220m, with the maximum value of which was $278M. Regarding the issuance of prior opinion by an expedited mechanism, no transactions were submitted to the United States of America Business Affairs Monitoring Committee during the 2024 financial year. Regarding transactions analysed by the United States of America Business Affairs Monitoring Committee, none of them had a related party transaction underlying them. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Information on Ownership Structure, Organisation and Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 529| | | | | | | | 91\. Procedures and criteria applicable to the supervisory body's prior assessment of transactions between the company and holders of qualifying shareholdings or entities related to them in any way The rules in force applicable to the issuance of a prior opinion and to the expedited mechanisms of opinion in urgent cases of the General and Supervisory Board were updated on 13 May 2021, as well as the procedures for communication and provision of clarifications between that corporate body and the Executive Board of Directors. The Articles of Association of EDP also establish that the General and Supervisory Board should set the parameters for measuring the economic or strategic value of the operations that must be submitted to it for an opinion, as well as establish expedited mechanisms for issuing an opinion in urgent cases or when the nature of the matter justifies it and the situations in which exemption from issuing such an opinion is permitted (Article 22 (6)). In fact, the expedited mechanism for issuing an opinion by the General and Supervisory Board can only occur in situations of exceptional urgency or when the nature of the matter justifies it, as set out in the EDP’s Articles of Association and the Internal Regulations of the General and Supervision (Article 15(5)). With reference to prior opinion mechanism, General and Supervisory Board of EDP established a set of demanding rules regarding the conclusion of business between related parties, aimed at preventing situations of conflict of interests. In this context, it is important to highlight the provisions of the Transaction with Related Parties Policy – reviewed in May 2023 - regarding the procedures and criteria applicable to the intervention of the supervisory body for prior assessment of the business purposes to be carried out between the Company and holders of qualifying holdings or entities that are in any relationship with them. In particular, in legal transactions or de facto situations between related parties that are likely to give rise to a conflict of interest between the parties involved, relevant to the pursuit of EDP's interest, together with the request for a prior opinion from the General and Supervisory Board or its waiver, the Executive Board of Directors must provide the following information: • summary description of the operations and the responsibilities taken up by the parties; • outline of the procedures used to select the counterparty, i.e., whether the operation was based on a call for tenders/market consultation procedure or direct contract award; • in the event of direct contract award, the reasons for this decision; • in cases of calls for tenders/market consultation procedures, the type of contact established with the potential interested parties and the identity of those parties; • in case of competitive tenders, the details of the different tenders and the criteria used for selection; • the parameter used to check whether the transaction was performed under “normal market conditions for similar operations”; • measures adopted to prevent, mitigate risks, or solve potential conflicts of interests, namely the issuing of fairness opinions by independent entities prior to taking a decision regarding the performance of a Transaction with a Related Party; • indication, if applicable, of the multi-annual nature of the operation, in which case the initial date of the award/contract must be reported, as well as the date on which the supplies and/or services are provided. With respect to legal business or cases that exist between related parties that are likely to give rise to a conflict of interests between those involved, which could impact the interests of EDP, these should be subject to a preliminary opinion from the General and Supervisory Board: • if the Financial Matters Committee can meet before the General and Supervisory Board meeting, an opinion from this Committee should be requested, which should be presented to the General and Supervisory Board for decision-making purposes; • if it is not possible for the Financial Matters Committee to meet, the assessment of the potential conflict of interests must be made directly by the General and Supervisory Board within its decision-making authority.

The company establishes mechanisms to adequately and rigorously ensure the timely circulation or disclosure of the information required to its bodies, the company secretary, shareholders, investors, financial analysts, other stakeholders and the market at large.| ADOPTED | With regard to making information available, it is worth mentioning the existence of mechanisms for circulating information and the vocation and commitment of corporate bodies and committees to sharing information. With regard to this aspect, EDP has a portal for sharing information between the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board, as well as the Specialised Committees, which is accessible to all members of these bodies and committees, including the Company Secretary, without prejudice to restrictions on access to information regarding members who are in a situation of conflict of interest.In particular, with regard to the Company Secretary, he is responsible for drawing up and distributing the agenda and respective preparatory documentation, in accordance with the matters that have been dispatched for this purpose by the Chairman of the Executive Board of Directors (in accordance with article 8.6 of the [Internal Regulations of the Executive](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulation-executive-board-directors-0) [ ](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulation-executive-board-directors-0) [Board of Directors](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulation-executive-board-directors-0) and article 4.4 a) and b) of the [Internal Regulations of the General and Supervisory Board](https://www.edp.com/en/edp/corporate-governance/general-and-supervisory-board)).This information tool allows the different members to be aware of the most important documents, namely the minutes and supporting documents for resolutions. When requested by other members of the governing bodies, the Executive Board of Directors also provides all the information required by them in a timely manner and in a manner appropriate to the request, with the support of the Company Secretary. It should also be noted that the Investor Relations & ESG's mission is to ensure communication with analysts and investors in the Group's companies, in order to guarantee the sustainability of EDP's image and notoriety, and to respond to requests for information from regulatory and financial supervision bodies. In addition, the Regulation, Markets and Stakeholders Management ensures the company's institutional communication through an integrated and consistent narrative with the Group's stakeholders, in line with the adopted vision and strategy, with the aim of maximising the Group's communication potential with its stakeholders and contributing to fluid and systematised information about the Group and its actions.Finally, EDP has set up an operating model that presupposes a matrix organisational structure with Platforms, Regions, Business Enablement Functions (BEF) and Global Business Services (GBS), thus allowing for greater optimisation and efficiency of the organisational structure.| Item 15 | Item 21 | Item 22 | Item 27 | Item 29 | Item 52 | Items 55 to 65 Diversity in the Composition and Functioning of the Corporate Bodies | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Assessment of Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 532| | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|--- RECOMMENDATIONS | ADOPTED NOT ADOPTED NOT APPLICABLE | COMMENTS | REPORT DESCRIPTION II.2.1. Companies establish, previously and abstractly, criteria and requirements regarding the profile of the members of the corporate bodies that are adequate to the function to be performed, considering, notably, individual attributes (such as competence, independence, integrity, availability and experience), and diversity requirements (with particular attention to equality between men and women), that may contribute to the improvement of the performance of the body and of the balance in its composition.| ADOPTED | Respect for diversity in corporate bodies and in the appointment, processes is one of the structural elements of EDP's corporate purpose. In fact, the various Internal Regulations of the governing bodies, corporate bodies and Specialised Committees that form part of EDP's structure contain provisions on the suitability, independence, and incompatibilities of the members of these bodies. With regard to the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Directors, EDP has a specific policy entitled "[Selection Policy for the members](https://www.edp.com/en/selection-policy-members-general-and-supervisory-board-and-exe-board-directors)[ ](https://www.edp.com/en/selection-policy-members-general-and-supervisory-board-and-exe-board-directors)[of the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Directors](https://www.edp.com/en/selection-policy-members-general-and-supervisory-board-and-exe-board-directors)" which stipulates that, within the scope of the selection process, the integration of diverse skills, professional experience, diversity of knowledge, gender and cultures should always be ensured in a transparent and objective manner, taking into account the specificities of the Company's business. That policy also establishes that proposals for the election of members of the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Directors must be submitted to the General Shareholders’ Meeting, duly substantiated with regard to the candidate's profile and the role they will fulfil, so that shareholders can verify the suitability of the candidates' profile, knowledge, and CV, considering the duties to be performed. The criteria include (i) promoting equal rights and opportunities in the face of diversity, (ii) valuing diversity, particularly in terms of age, gender, geographical origin, qualifications, skills, and experience, (iii) promoting an increase in the number of members of the under-represented gender and (iv) avoiding potential conflicts of interest. This selection policy also sets out the competences that the members of the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board must possess, among which the following stand out: (i) technical and professional skills appropriate to the position, (ii) integrity, ethics and professional and personal values, (iii) sufficient knowledge of the legal, regulatory and statutory rules applicable to their duties and to the Company, (iv) sufficient availability to fulfil their legal and statutory duties, (v) fulfilment of the independence requirements demanded by law and the articles of association, (vi) commitment to the provisions of the Company's codes, policies and Internal Regulations, (vii) commitment to complying with best corporate governance practices, (viii) skills and experience in company management, risk management and supervision appropriate to the position and (ix) knowledge of the industry and experience in the sector. In particular, with regard to gender diversity, it is necessarily accommodated by virtue of compliance with Law 62/2017, of 1 August, on the balanced representation of women and men in the management and supervisory bodies of entities in the public business sector and companies listed on the stock exchange. EDP also has a [diversity policy](https://www.edp.com/en/people/diversity-equity-inclusion/policy) which establishes (i) the commitment to promote mutual respect and equal opportunities in the face of diversity, (ii) the recognition of differences as a source of strengthening human potential and valuing diversity in the organisation, management and strategy, and (iii) the adoption of positive discrimination and awareness-raising measures internally, but also in the community, with a view to the effective implementation and effectiveness of the diversity policy.At the EDP Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 10 April 2024, the members of the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Directors were elected for the three-year period 2024-2026, and the representativeness of these bodies is above that provided for in the applicable legislation. According to EDP's current Gender Equality Plan, updated for the 2024-2025 period, available on [EDP's website](https://www.edp.com/en/plan-gender-equality) and at [www.cmvm.pt](https://www.cmvm.pt/), gender equality is of civilisational importance, as a corollary of equal rights, freedoms, guarantees, opportunities and recognition between men and women, also allowing skills and knowledge to be enhanced by including everyone, promoting a better working environment and motivation and, consequently, higher levels of productivity and talent retention.| Item 11 | Items 15 to 17 | Items 30 to 33 | Annex I | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Assessment of Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 533| | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|--- RECOMMENDATIONS | ADOPTED NOT ADOPTED NOT APPLICABLE | COMMENTS | REPORT DESCRIPTION II.2.2.

The companies adopt a whistle-blowing policy that specifies the main rules and procedures to be followed for each communication [II.2.4.(1)] and an internal reporting channel that also includes access for non-employees, as set forth in the applicable law [II.2.4.(2)].| ADOPTED | Since 2006, EDP has had a policy for reporting irregularities [II.2.4.(1)]. In 2022, and following the entry into force of Law no. 93/2021, of 20 December, which transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1937, EDP reformulated its whistleblowing channels [II.2.4.(2)], with a view to structuring an Integrated Whistleblowing Management System. To this end, EDP adopted a technological platform common to all whistleblowing channels, which safeguards the segregation of information for each channel. Also in 2022, EDP approved the Speak Up Whistleblower Management Regulation, replaced in 2024 by the Whistleblower Management Policy, which establishes the mechanisms and procedures for receiving, retaining, and processing reports received by the Company on allegedly unethical behaviour that does not comply with the law and internal regulations in force. Under the terms of these Policy, reports, which can be made by interested parties from any EDP Group company (including non-employees), are treated as confidential information by all those who receive information about the facts reported, and the anonymity of the whistleblower is ensured if they so request.For more information, see: [Speak Up Channels](https://www.edp.com/en/about-us/speak-up) and [Whistleblowing Management Policy Speak Up](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/Eng_Regulamento_Gestao_de_Denuncias_-_Speak_Up_30052023_1565242_0.pdf).In recent years, the Integrity Policy, as well as the other compliance procedures and mechanisms associated with the Specific Integrity Compliance Programme, have been the subject of internal training for employees, and have also been published internally for consultation on EDP's internal communication channels. As part of the structuring of the Specific Compliance Programme to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, specific internal regulations, and a transversal procedure for reporting suspicious transactions were also implemented by the obliged entities. In 2022, this whistleblowing channel, which has been in place since 2006, was restructured for reporting potential irregularities in financial matters, and a specific communication channel was also made available for potential irregularities related to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing violations, currently included in the Speak Up Channels mentioned above. For more information: [Channel for reporting irregularities related to Money Laundering or Terrorist Financing](https://portaletica.dig.corp.edp.com/PortaldeEtica_SitesCorporativos/Disclaimer.aspx?Guid=63fdef51-cb6a-4d1b-9ece-0909e557a0f8). | Item 15 | Item 49 | Item 50 to 55 II.2.5. The companies have specialised committees for matters of corporate governance [II.2.5.(1)], remuneration [II.2.5.(2)], appointments of members of the corporate bodies [II.2.5.(3)] and performance assessment [II.2.5.(4)], separately or cumulatively. If the Remuneration Committee provided for in Article 399 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code has been set up, the present Recommendation can be complied with by assigning to said committee, if not prohibited by law, powers in the above matters.| ADOPTED | [II.2.5 (4)] The Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting (CVEN GSM) is responsible for submitting a proposal for the remuneration policy of the members of the General and Supervisory Board, the members of the Board of the General Meeting and the Statutory Auditor. One of the guiding principles of CVEN GSM 's activity is the definition of a simple, clear, transparent policy in line with EDP's culture, so that remuneration practices can be based on uniform, consistent, fair, and balanced criteria. Within this framework, the remuneration policy proposed by CVEN GSM aims to ensure levels of homogeneity and stability that are compatible not only with the necessary cohesion of the governing bodies and organisations, but also and above all with their non-executive nature, and it is not considered desirable to award variable remuneration that is necessarily conditional on the performance of the respective members. In this context, it is considered appropriate to defend the - growing - differentiation between the remuneration treatment of directors with executive duties, on the one hand, and that of other members of other corporate bodies, namely supervisory and supervisory bodies, on the other. As such, and in line with the provisions of the applicable legislation, the fixed remuneration safeguards the distance between the exercise of supervisory and/or oversight duties and the risk inherent in the business activity, as well as the fundamental independence within the scope of impartial and effective supervision and/or oversight. This differentiating treatment is even reflected in the IPCG Code itself, specifically under the terms of the Principle of Chapter VI. In this instance, the assessment of the performance of members of governing bodies other than the members of the Executive Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Specialised Committees is carried out in a different way, and solid mechanisms of checks and balances and internal control are sufficient for this purpose. In this sense, as there are, in addition to the shareholder prerogative at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, internal mechanisms of an instrumental nature to assess, at first hand and with in-depth knowledge, the performance of the members of the governing bodies and other corporate structures, there are no benefits to establishing an additional mechanism to assess the individual performance of each of the members of EDP's governing bodies and other corporate structures. In this regard, the performance assessment mechanisms are duly safeguarded, namely through the assessment and self-assessment process of the General and Supervisory Board, certified by a specialised external entity, including the Chair of the Board of the General Meeting of Shareholders, and the assessment process of the Statutory Auditor by the FMC. Considering that the Remuneration Policy proposed by CVEN GSM only proposes to provide for the remuneration - always of a fixed nature - of the aforementioned bodies and corporate bodies and that the Company has established effective and resilient internal evaluation and control mechanisms to assess the individual performance of each member, including their contribution to the way in which the body operates and the relationship between the various bodies of the Company, this sub-recommendation [II.2.5(4)] should be considered as explain equivalent to adoption.[II.2.5.(2)] The company also has a Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, which is responsible for preparing and proposing the policy and corporate objectives for setting the remuneration of the Chairman of the Executive Board of Directors and the Directors, as well as setting the respective remuneration, monitoring and evaluating their performance for the purposes of determining variable remuneration and also monitoring the disclosure of external information on the remuneration and remuneration policy of the Executive Board of Directors, namely the Remuneration Report, as established in the [respective Internal Regulations](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2021-12/EDP_%20IR_GSB_ENG%20%28002%29.pdf).[II.2.5. (1)] With regard to corporate governance, the General and Supervisory Board also has a Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which is responsible for analysing this issue.[II.2.5 (3)] As provided for in Article 14(1)(h) of the respective Internal Regulations, the General and Supervisory Board is responsible for "monitoring the definition of criteria and competences required in the structures and internal bodies of the Company or the Group or convenient to observe and their repercussions on the respective composition, as well as drawing up succession plans." In addition, pursuant to article 28 (c) (vi) of the Internal Regulations of the General and Supervisory Board and article 12 (1) (r) of the Internal Regulations of the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee is the specialised committee responsible for monitoring matters relating to succession plans. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee is the specialised committee entrusted with monitoring matters relating to succession plans, namely monitoring the preparation, in coordination with the Executive Board of Directors, of succession plans for the structures and internal bodies of the Company, Subsidiaries and other entities in relation to which the Company has the right to appoint the members of the governing bodies. This analysis should cover all the key positions that are most instrumental in the fulfilment of the Strategic Plan, which should be previously identified by the Executive Board of Directors and submitted to this Committee.| Item 21 | Item 29 | Remunerations Report | Annual Report of the General and Supervisory Board Relations between Corporate Bodies II.3.1. The Articles of Association or equivalent means adopted by the company set out the mechanisms to ensure that, within the limits of the applicable laws, the members of the management and supervisory bodies have permanent access to all necessary information to assess the performance, situation and development prospects of the company, including, specifically, the minutes of the meetings, the documentation supporting the decisions taken, the convening notices and the archive of the meetings of the executive management body, without prejudice to access to any other documents or persons who may be requested to provide clarification.| ADOPTED | EDP's Articles of Association expressly state that the different bodies of the Company must, to the extent of their respective competences, create the necessary conditions for harmonious, articulated, and informed action in the performance of their duties, and mechanisms for reporting and sharing information have been implemented, as mentioned in relation to recommendation II.1.1. In addition, the Internal Regulations of the Executive Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the various Committees contain provisions establishing the need to report, namely to the supervisory body, information on the annual plan of activities of meetings, resolutions, and minutes.The recommendation is also included in Article 5 of the Internal Regulations of the Executive Board of Directors. Currently, EDP also has an internal instrument that allows it to systematise the principles of action and the rules to be observed in the interaction of the Executive Board of Directors with the General and Supervisory Board, in development of the legal framework, the Articles of Association and the Regulations that deal with these matters. | Items 21 to 45 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Assessment of Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 535| | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|--- RECOMMENDATIONS | ADOPTED NOT ADOPTED NOT APPLICABLE | COMMENTS | REPORT DESCRIPTION II.3.2. Each body and committee of the company ensures, in a timely and adequate manner, the interorganic flow of information required for the exercise of the legal and statutory powers of each of the other bodies and committees.| ADOPTED | All the Internal Regulations establish reporting and information-sharing mechanisms. In particular, the portal's role in sharing information between the General and Supervisory Board, its committees and the Executive Board of Directors should be emphasised.With regard to regulations, the following should be highlighted: \- Articles of Association: Article 23 (1) (k); \- Internal Regulation of the Executive Board of Directors: Articles 5 (1) (e) and 10 (4); \- Internal Regulation of the General and Supervisory Board: Article 5 (c) and (e), and Article 11 (1) (a); Article 14 and Article 17; \- Internal Regulation of the Financial Matters Committee: Article 5 (1) (f), Article 10 (1) (a) and Article 13; \- Internal Regulation of the Remuneration Committee: Article 5 (1) (d); Article 10 (1) (a) and (2); \- Internal Regulation of the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee: Article 5 (e); Article 10 (1) (a), (2), and (3) (c); Articles 12 and 13; \- Internal Regulation of the United States of America (USA) Business Affairs Monitoring Committee: Article 5 (d); article 9 (1) (a). | Items 21 to 45 Conflicts of Interest II.4.1. By internal regulation or an equivalent hereof, the members of the management and supervisory bodies and of the internal committees shall be obliged to inform the respective body or committee whenever there are any facts that may constitute or give rise to a conflict between their interests and the interest of the company.| ADOPTED | Since 17 May 2010, EDP has implemented rules for identifying internal reporting and acting in the event of a conflict of interest, applicable to all EDP Group employees who have a decision-making role in transactions with related parties. In 2021, and with the revision of internal regula-tions, the Transaction with Related Parties Policy came into force, which aims to establish the general principles of action and reporting in order to identify, prevent, detect, and resolve situations of conflicts of interest in the context of Transactions with Related Parties, which was revised in May 2023. In addition, it aims to contribute to the promotion of ethics and integrity in the development of the business of EDP and other compa-nies and/or entities that make up the EDP Group, ensuring compliance with legislation and established principles and rules. The Internal Regu-lations of EDP's governing bodies or committees also contain a provision according to which the members of these bodies and committees must inform the respective body or committee of facts that may constitute or give rise to a conflict between their interests and the corporate interest. Conflicts of interest are reported whenever there are facts that may constitute or give rise to them and are not limited to the deliberative context. All the Internal Regulations of the governing bodies and Specialised Committees include a specific provision on the conduct to be adopted by a member of the respective body or committee who is in a situation of actual or apparent conflict of interest, as well as a duty to provide infor-mation and clarification.The respective articles that specifically address this recommendation are as follows: \- Internal Regulation GSB: Article 10 \- Internal Regulation EBD: Article 6 \- Internal Regulation FMC: Article 9 \- Internal Regulation REMC: Article 9 \- Internal Regulation CGSS: Article 9 \- Internal Regulation CAN: Article 8 | Item 10 | Item 18 | Item 20 | Item 21 | Item 91 II.4.2. The company adopts procedures to ensure that the conflicted member does not interfere in the decision-making process, without prejudice to the duty to provide information and clarification requested by the body, committee or respective members.| ADOPTED | Item 10 | Item 18 | Item 20 | Item 21 | Item 91 Transactions with Related Parties II.5.1. The management body discloses, in the corporate governance report or by other publicly available means, the internal procedure for verification of transactions with related parties.| ADOPTED | In this regard, in addition to the provisions of the applicable legislation and the Articles of Association, there is an internal regulation on conflicts of interest and business between related parties, revised in May 2023 - the Related Party Transactions Policy - which can be consulted on [EDP's website](https://www.edp.com/en/transactions-related-parties).Under the terms of the Articles of Association and the legislation in force, the Executive Board of Directors is responsible for the management of the Company and, for the purposes of transactions with related parties, the following are considered to be decision-makers: (i) the members of the governing bodies of EDP and its Subsidiaries; (ii) EDP employees in job grades 20 to 25 (taking into account the current levelling), regardless of the EDP Group company with which they have a contractual relationship or perform duties; (iii) whenever the decision-maker defined in (ii) identifies, as decision-makers, other EDP Group employees, with a job grade lower than 20 (taking into account the current levelling), to whom it has attributed identical competences; and (iv) whenever the Executive Board of Directors expressly qualifies EDP Group employees as decision-makers, indicating the respective scope of activity and delegation of competences. All decision-makers must therefore report any information deemed relevant on transactions carried out or to be carried out with related parties, namely with controlled companies or with the decision-makers themselves. The Related Party Transactions Policy also identifies deals of significant importance, specifying the type and scope of deals subject to prior authorisation. In addition, Article 18(2) of EDP's Articles of Association refers to a set of matters that are subject to the prior favourable opinion of the General and Supervisory Board, which must set the parameters for measuring the economic or strategic value of the operations that must be submitted to it for an opinion, particularly with regard to acquisitions and disposals of assets, rights or holdings of significant economic value, under the terms of Article 22(6) of EDP's Articles of Association and Article 15 of the Internal Regulations of the General and Supervisory Board. It is the responsibility of the General and Supervisory Board, within the scope of its assessment of EDP's annual and interim management report and considering the work carried out by the Financial Matters Committee, to analyse and issue an opinion on the relevant business concluded between these parties.Effectively, EDP has a Specialised Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, the Financial Matters Committee, with the power to assess business with related parties. Its Internal Regulations make it clear that the final decision rests with the General and Supervisory Board, in accordance with Article 12(1)(k) and (l). In addition, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for monitoring and supervising the systems for assessing and resolving conflicts of interest, particularly with regard to the company's relations with shareholders, by analysing the proposals for remedies for situations reported to it by the Financial Matters Committee (Article 2(1)(d) of its [Internal Regulations](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulations-financial-matters-audit-committee)).EDP also has a set of rules regarding the issuing of a prior opinion by the General and Supervisory Board, as well as the procedures for communication and the provision of clarifications between the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Directors. In addition, the Executive Board of Directors must, no later than 20 (twenty) days after the end of each quarter, inform the General and Supervisory Board of all transactions that constitute relevant situations, and the elements that must be included in this information are referred to in the respective policy (in accordance with Article 23(1)(l) of the [Articles of Association](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association) and Article 14(1)(k) of the [Internal Regulations of the General and Supervisory Board](https://www.edp.com/sites/default/files/2021-12/EDP_%20IR_GSB_ENG%20%28002%29.pdf)).The intervention of the General and Supervisory Board in the assessment of this type of transaction is always preceded by the analysis and scrutiny of the Executive Board of Directors. Also under the terms of the Internal Regulations in force on this matter, the General and Supervisory Board and, more specifically, the Financial Matters Committee, analyse all transactions between EDP and controlled companies with a value equal to or greater than: (i) €75m, in the case of shareholder loans and loans; (ii) €75m, in the case of acquisition, sale, marketing or supply of electricity or natural gas, as well as related services and products and (iii) €5m in all other cases.| Item 10 | Items 89 to 92 CHAPTER III - SHAREHOLDERS AND GENERAL MEETING III.1. The company does not set an excessively large number of shares to be entitled to one vote [III.1. (1)] and informs in the corporate governance report of its choice whenever each share does not carry one vote [III.1. (2)]. | ADOPTED | [III.1.(1)] Article 15(1) and (2) of EDP's [Articles of Association](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association) state that each share corresponds to one vote and that all shareholders with voting rights may participate in general meetings provided that they hold such rights on the date of registration.[III.1. (2)] – Not applicable. | Item 5 | Item 6 | Item 7 | Item 10 | Items 12 to 16 | Item 56 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Assessment of Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 536| | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|--- RECOMMENDATIONS | ADOPTED NOT ADOPTED NOT APPLICABLE | COMMENTS | REPORT DESCRIPTION III.2. The company that has issued special plural voting rights shares identifies, in its corporate governance report, the matters that, pursuant to the company’s Articles of Association, are excluded from the scope of plural voting. | NOT APPLICABLE | The Company does not issue shares with special plural voting rights. | Item 12 III.3. The company does not adopt mechanisms that hinder the passing of resolutions by its shareholders, specifically fixing a quorum for resolutions greater than that foreseen by law.| ADOPTED | The Article 12(3) of EDP's [Articles of Association ](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association)establishes that the decisions of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting shall be taken by a majority of the votes cast, unless a legal or statutory provision requires a qualified majority. In this regard, Article 12(4) of EDP's Articles of Association states that resolutions on the amendment of the Articles of Association and the merger, demerger, transformation or dissolution of the company, with the exception of the provisions of paragraph 5 of that article, must be approved by two thirds of the votes cast and, when the meeting is convened at first call, provided that shareholders holding at least one third of the share capital are present or represented.| Item 5 | Item 6 | Item 7 | Item 10 | Items 12 to 16 | Item 56 III.4. The company implements adequate means for shareholders to participate in the general meeting without being present in person, in proportion to its size. | ADOPTED | Although EDP has always strived to maximise shareholder participation in general meetings, as such involvement provides direct interaction with stake holders and thus constitutes a positive factor for proximity to the shareholder structure, for the efficient functioning of the Company and for the achievement of its corporate purpose, the Covid-19 pandemic context has inevitably changed this understanding. Since EDP held three Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting in a State of Emergency context, on 16 April 2020, 19 January 2021 and 14 April 2021, it was necessary to implement procedures for them to be held by telematic means, according to the respective notices available at [General Meetings | edp.com](https://www.edp.com/en/investors/general-meetings). The constitutive quorum for the three aforementioned General Meetings was 67.3% for the April 2020 Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, 73.9068% for the January 2021 Extraordinary Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting and 74.415% for the April 2021 Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting. For the exceptional reasons explained above, the form of voting corresponded exclusively to voting by correspondence, either by post or electronically, under the terms of article 384, paragraphs 8 and 9 of the Companies Code, article 22 of the Securities Code, and under the terms of article 15, paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 of EDP's [Articles of Association](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association). The fact that the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting were held exclusively by telematic means meant that all shareholders registered and duly authorised to participate in the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings had access to live video and audio broadcasts of the meetings. To this end, a link was sent the day before the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings to the email address provided when the shareholder or their representative expressed their intention to attend the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings, so that they could access a digital platform. In addition to the possibility of asking questions in writing via the digital platform about the topics on the Agenda that they wished to be answered at the meeting, held by telematic means, under the terms of article 290 of the Companies Code, shareholders were given the opportunity to ask questions in writing up to two (2) days before the respective dates of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings. For the Extraordinary Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 19 January 2021, the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 14 April 2021, the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 6 April 2022, the General Shareholders’ Meeting of 12 April 2023 and for the General Shareholders’ Meeting of 10 April 2024, and in order to ensure full clarification for shareholders prior to exercising their voting rights, and without prejudice to the timely availability of documents relating to the Items on the Agenda and the prerogative conferred above, shareholders were given the opportunity to ask questions, under the right to information provided for in article 290 of the Commercial Companies Code. The shareholders were given the opportunity to ask questions, under the right to information provided for in article 290 of the Commercial Companies Code, up to 8 (eight) days before the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, so that any questions they had prior to exercising their voting rights could be fully clarified. At the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings of 6 April 2022, 12 April 2023 and 10 April 2024, EDP implemented a hybrid model, giving shareholders the option of attending the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting in person or by telematic means.| III.5. The company also implements adequate means for the exercise of voting rights without being present in person, including by correspondence and electronically. | ADOPTED | If, on the one hand, EDP's [Articles of Association](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association) make it possible to exercise postal voting by letter (article 15(6)(a)), on the other hand, they allow and determine the procedure for exercising postal voting rights, including by electronic means, in accordance with requirements that ensure their authenticity (article 15, ((6)(7)(8)). As provided for in the notice of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings held on 10 April 2024, the right to vote may be exercised in one of the following ways: (i) advance electronic vote, or (ii) postal vote, or (iii) electronic vote during the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings (telematic assistance) or (iv) in-person vote during the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings.| Item 5 | Item 6 | Item 7 | Item 10 | Items 12 to 16 | Item 56 III.6. The Articles of Association of the company that provide for the restriction of the number of votes that may be held or exercised by one single shareholder, either individually or jointly with other shareholders, shall also foresee that, at least every five years, the general meeting shall resolve on the amendment or maintenance of such statutory provision – without quorum requirements greater than that provided for by law – and that in said resolution, all votes issued are to be counted, without applying said restriction. | NOT ADOPTED | Given the company's current shareholder structure, this recommendation has no practical applicability. However, in recent years, the issue of the statutory limitation on voting rights has already been considered by EDP's General Meeting three times, the last of which took place on 24 April 2019. The shareholders have thus been called upon to give their opinion on the limitation of the number of votes, and there has been significant support for maintaining the existence of the limitation and reflection on adjusting the relevant ceiling for counting voting rights, precisely in the direction of a progressive increase in this level. The company's shareholder dynamics have thus proved to be perfectly in tune with the direction advocated in the Recommendation and sufficiently capable of pursuing its objectives, dispensing with rigid formulas for the statutory provision of this revision, which has even fostered particularly intense shareholder scrutiny of this clause, without constituting an impediment to the regular functioning of the corporate control market. These circumstances confirm that the voting cap does not prevent the relevant involvement of shareholders in EDP's corporate governance, and it is true that there were 3 resolutions at the General Meeting, from 2011 to 2019, related to this statutory limitation. In effect, the limitation on the number of votes provided for in Article 15(3) of the Articles of Association reflects the express will of EDP's shareholders through resolutions of the General Meeting, in defence of the Company's specific interests: (i) the change in the aforementioned limit from 5% to 20% was approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting of 25 August 2011, in which 72.25% of the share capital was held and the approval was carried out by a majority of 94.16% of the votes cast; (ii) the subsequent increase to the current 25% was approved at the General Meeting of 20 February 2012, in which 71.51% of the share capital was held and approval was given by a majority of 89.65% of the votes cast; and (iii) the unsealing of the Articles of Association, in which 64.29% of the share capital was held and this change was rejected by a majority of the votes cast, with 56.61% voting against.| III.7. The company does not adopt any measures that require payments or the assumption of costs by the company in the event of change of control or change in the composition of the management body and which are likely to damage the economic interest in the transfer of shares and the free assessment by shareholders of the performance of the Directors.| ADOPTED | As provided for in EDP's Corporate Governance Manual, there are no known measures that have the effect of jeopardising the free transferability of shares and the free assessment by shareholders of the performance of the members of the management body. Likewise, EDP has not entered into any significant agreements that come into force, are amended or terminate in the event of a change of control of the Company following a takeover bid, with the exception of normal market practice with regard to the issue of debt. In fact, EDP is usually a party to financing contracts and issuers of bonds that include change of control clauses, which are typical of such contracts and securities and appear to be necessary for the realisation of the transactions, and their existence is not considered likely to harm the economic interest in the transfer of EDP's shares, nor the free assessment by shareholders of the performance of directors. In addition, with regard to any measures adopted that determine payments or the assumption of charges by the Company in the event of a change in the composition of the management body, apart from the situations set out in the Remuneration Report, there are no contracts in force at EDP that provide for payments in the event of dismissal or termination by agreement of the duties of a director, nor any other measures that determine payments or the assumption of charges by EDP in the event of a change in the composition of the management body.| Items 4 and 5 | Remuneration Report CHAPTER IV - MANAGEMENT Management Body and Executive Directors | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Corporate Governance Report | Assessment of Corporate Governance | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part II| 537| | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|--- RECOMMENDATIONS | ADOPTED NOT ADOPTED NOT APPLICABLE | COMMENTS | REPORT DESCRIPTION IV.1.1. The management body ensures that the company acts in accordance with its object and does not delegate powers, notably with regard to: i) definition of the corporate strategy and main policies of the company [IV.1.1. (1)]; ii) organisation and coordination of the corporate structure [IV.1.1. (2)]; iii) matters that shall be considered strategic due to the amounts, risk and particular characteristics involved [IV.1.1. (3)].| NOT APPLICABLE | This recommendation is not applicable given the governance model in force at EDP. In fact, according to the dual governance model, the Executive Board of Directors does not delegate any of the matters referred to in this recommendation.| Item 17 | Item 18 | Item 19 | Item 21 IV.1.2. The management body approves, by means of regulations or through an equivalent mechanism, the performance regime for executive directors applicable to the exercise of executive functions by them in entities outside the group.| ADOPTED | The [Internal Regulations of the Executive Board of Directors](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulation-executive-board-directors-0) expressly regulate this matter, and in particular article 7 provides that members of the Executive Board of Directors may not exercise executive functions in more than two companies not belonging to the EDP Group, and that their exercise must be subject to prior assessment by the Executive Board of Directors.| Item 17 | Item 18 | Item 19 | Item 21 Management Body and Non-Executive Directors IV.2.1. Notwithstanding the legal duties of the chairman of the board of directors, if the latter is not independent, the independent directors – or, if there are not enough independent directors, the nonexecutive directors – shall appoint a coordinator among themselves to, in particular (i) act, whenever necessary, as interlocutor with the chairman of the board of directors and with the other directors, (ii) ensure that they have all the conditions and means required to carry out their duties, and (iii) coordinate their performance assessment by the administration body as provided for in Recommendation VI.1.1.; alternatively, the company may establish another equivalent mechanism to ensure such coordination.| NOT APPLICABLE | This recommendation is not applicable considering the Company’s governance model in force. IV.2.2. The number of non-executive members of the management body shall be adequate to the size of the company and the complexity of the risks inherent to its activity, but sufficient to ensure the efficient performance of the tasks entrusted to them, whereby the formulation of this adequacy judgement shall be included in the corporate governance report.| NOT APPLICABLE | This recommendation is not applicable considering the Company’s governance model in force. IV.2.3. The number of non-executive directors is greater than the number of executive directors.| NOT APPLICABLE | This recommendation is not applicable considering the Company’s governance model in force. IV.2.4. The number of non-executive directors that meet the independence requirements is plural and is not less than one third of the total number of non-executive directors. For the purposes of the present Recommendation, a person is deemed independent when not associated to any specific interest group in the company, nor in any circumstances liable to affect his/her impartiality of analysis or decision, in particular in virtue of:i.Having carried out, continuously or intermittently, functions in any corporate body of the company for more than twelve years, with this period being counted regardless of whether or not it coincides with the end of the mandate; ii.Having been an employee of the company or of a company that is controlled by or in a group relationship with the company in the last three years; iii.Having, in the last three years, provided services or established a significant business relationship with the company or with a company that is controlled by or in a group relationship with the company, either directly or as a partner, director, manager or officer of a legal person;iv.Being the beneficiary of remuneration paid by the company or by a company that is controlled by or in a group relationship with the company, in addition to remuneration stemming from the performance of the functions of director;v.Living in a non-marital partnership or being a spouse, relative or kin in a direct line and up to and including the 3rd degree, in a collateral line, of directors of the company, of directors of a legal person owning a qualifying stake in the company or of natural persons owning, directly or indirectly, a qualifying stake;vi.Being a holder of a qualifying stake or representative of a shareholder that is holder of a qualifying stake. | NOT APPLICABLE | This recommendation is not applicable considering the Company’s governance model in force. IV.2.5. The provisions of paragraph (i) of the previous Recommendation do not prevent the qualification of a new Director as independent if, between the end of his/her functions in any corporate body and his/her new appointment, at least three years have elapsed (cooling-off period).| NOT APPLICABLE | This recommendation is not applicable considering the Company’s governance model in force.

With due regard for the competences conferred to it by law, the supervisory body takes cognisance of the strategic guidelines [V.1. (1)] and evaluates and renders an opinion on the risk policy, prior to its final approval by the administration body [V.1. (2)].| ADOPTED | Within the scope of the corporate governance model in force at EDP, the General and Supervisory Board also has a particularly important competence. In fact, although it does not have management powers, under the terms of Article 442(1) of the Companies Code, Article 18(2) of the Articles of Association establishes that the approval of EDP's strategic plan and the carrying out, by EDP or by companies controlled by EDP, of the following operations are subject to the prior favourable opinion of this corporate body (also in accordance with Article 15 of the [Internal Regulations of the General and Supervisory Board](https://www.edp.com/en/regulation-general-and-supervisory-board)): (i) acquisitions and disposals of assets, rights or shareholdings of significant economic value; (ii) contracting of financing of significant value; (iii) opening or closing of establishments or important parts of establishments and important extensions or reductions in activity; (iv) other businesses or operations of significant economic or strategic value; (v) establishment or termination of strategic partnerships or other forms of lasting co-operation; (vi) demerger, merger or transformation projects; and (vii) amendments to the Articles of Association, including the change of registered office and capital increase, when these are at the initiative of the Executive Board of Directors. In addition, the General and Supervisory Board, within the scope of its competences, takes cognisance of the Company's strategic lines, in accordance with the provisions of articles 14, no. 1 and 17, no. 9 of its[ Internal Regulations](https://www.edp.com/en/regulation-general-and-supervisory-board). It is also worth mentioning the specific competences of the Financial Matters Committee in relation to financial matters and accounting practices, sustainability policies, procedures and practices, especially those with an impact on reporting, internal auditing practices and procedures, the mechanisms and internal procedures of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (ICFS) and the Internal Control System for Sustainability Reporting (ICSRS), matters relating to the risk management and control system, the activities and mechanisms of the compliance management system, the activity, including the provision of non-audit services, and independence of the Statutory Auditor/Board of Statutory Auditors and the systems for assessing and resolving conflicts of interest, namely with regard to the company's relations with shareholders. The Financial Matters Committee is responsible for monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the assessment of internal procedures relating to the effectiveness of the risk management system, internal control and internal audit systems, and must assess and comment on the EDP Group's strategic guidelines [V.1. (1)] and corporate risk management policy prior to their final approval by the Executive Board of Directors [V.1. (2)], under the terms of Article 12.2 i) of the FMC Internal Regulations. The General and Supervisory Board is also involved in the EDP Group's Business Plan, implicitly ensuring alignment between management and shareholders with regard to the Group's risk appetite. The General and Supervisory Board is also regularly informed of key risk indicators in line with performance metrics, which allow it to monitor the evolution of the company's risk profile.| Item 21 | Item 24 | Item 29 | Items 49 to 55 V.2. The number of members of the supervisory body [V.2. (1)] and of the financial matters committee [V.2. (2)] should be adequate in relation to the size of the company and the complexity of the risks inherent to its activity, but sufficient to ensure the efficiency of the tasks entrusted to them, and this adequacy judgement should be included in the corporate governance report.| ADOPTED | [V.2 (1)] The General and Supervisory Board is made up of the number of effective members that may be established in the respective election resolution, but always in excess of the number of members of the Executive Board of Directors, , pursuant to Article 22(1) of the [Articles of Association](https://www.edp.com/en/edp-articles-of-association) . [V.2 (2)] In turn, the Financial Matters Committee will be made up of a minimum of 3 independent members in accordance with article 3 of the [Internal Regulations of the Financial Matters Committee](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulations-financial-matters-audit-committee), which in both cases is entirely proportional to the characteristics of the Company.| Item 15 | 17 | Item 21 | Item 29 CHAPTER VI - PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT, REMUNERATION AND APPOINTMENTS Annual Performance Assessment VI.1.1. The management body – or committee with relevant powers, composed of a majority of non-executive members – evaluates its performance on an annual basis [VI.1.1. (1)], as well as the performance of the executive committee [VI.1.1. (2)], of the executive directors and of the company committees [VI.1.1. (3)], taking into account the compliance with the strategic plan of the company and of the budget, the risk management, its internal functioning and the contribution of each member to that end, and the relationship between the bodies and committees of the company.| ADOPTED | [VI.1.1.(1)] Under the terms of Article 5(4) of the [Internal Regulations of the Executive Board of Directors](https://www.edp.com/en/internal-regulation-executive-board-directors-0) , the Chairman of this Board must ensure the adoption of appropriate mechanisms for the annual assessment of the functioning of the Executive Board of Directors and the performance of each of its members. It should be reiterated that, in fulfilment of the above, EDP has voluntarily set up a formal and objective process for evaluating the activity of the Executive Board of Directors, which makes it possible to assess the degree of compliance with the measures adopted. This is a distinctive practice adopted by the General and Supervisory Board, which is in line with the assessment criteria of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and corresponds to the recognition of the continued endeavour for excellence in corporate governance practices that the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Directors have been developing. It should be noted that this entire assessment process, namely the content, format of the questionnaire and the respective conclusions, was analysed and certified by an external consultant. At the beginning of each year, the members of the General and Supervisory Board are invited to fill in a questionnaire during an interview, in order to gauge their personal perception of the performance of the Executive Board of Directors. This questionnaire analyses the following dimensions: (i) composition and organisation; (ii) the performance of the Executive Board of Directors in its activity; (iii) the relationship between the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board; (iv) the relationship between the Executive Board of Directors and other interlocutors. The purpose of the questionnaire is to provide an objective basis for reflection, which can be used by the General and Supervisory Board for the purposes of drawing up the evaluation opinion of the Executive Board of Directors, which is then presented to EDP's shareholders for a vote. This evaluation can be found in the Annual Report of the General and Supervisory Board - Statement on the Evaluation Process of EDP's Executive Board of Directors.[VI.1.1.(2)] Not applicable.[VI.1.1.(3)] Not applicable.| Item 21 | Item 24 e 25 | Item 27 | Item 29 | Item 52 | Item 54 | Remuneration Report Remunerations VI.2.1.

In turn, the Remuneration Report identifies the amounts of all the Company's charges related to the duties of the governing bodies and respective specialised committees of the Company in the financial year in question, based on the Remuneration Policy approved for the term in question.| Item 29 | Items 69 to 88 | Remuneration Report VI.2.4. In order to provide information or clarification to shareholders, the president or another member of the remuneration committee shall be present at the annual general meeting and at any other general meeting at which the agenda includes a matter related to the remuneration of the members of bodies and committees of the company, or if such presence has been requested by shareholders.| ADOPTED | Article 5(2) of the [Internal Regulations of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board](https://www.edp.com/en/regulations-remunerations-committee-cgs) expressly states that in order to provide information or clarification to shareholders, the Chairman or, if he is unable to do so, another member of the Remuneration Committee, shall attend the General Meeting and any other general meetings if the respective agenda includes a matter related to the remuneration of the members of the Company's bodies and committees or if such attendance has been requested by shareholders.

The EDP Group is developing a project to implement an Internal Control System on Sustainability Reporting (ICSSR) under the shared management of the Ethics & Compliance and Investor Relations & ESG areas. This project is based on: (i) a scoping model, which includes the calculation, assessment and documentation of the dual materiality exercise, as well as the identification of mandatory disclosures in accordance with the assumptions and obligations arising from current regulations, for the EDP Group; (ii) a gap analysis of sustainability reporting disclosures, focusing on mandatory information, mapping of processes and identification of disclosure risks associated with these processes; (iii) the identification and analysis of control gaps; and (iv) the definition of an implementation plan to address the identified gaps.Although EDP has had a sustainability governance model for several decades, in 2006, with the adoption of a dual governance model, the General and Supervisory Board was set up to monitor and supervise EDP's management, as well as a specialised committee - the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee - with the mission of permanently monitoring and supervising matters relating to sustainability in all its dimensions.

In this regard, the General Supervisory Board oversees the implementation of EDP's Climate Strategy through its Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which is responsible for discussing ESG topics between three and four times a year, with Climate at the top of this agenda. The Remuneration Policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, proposed by the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board and approved by the General Meeting at least every four years, establishes a fixed component and a variable component, the latter including ESG key performance indicators (KPIs), such as the Climate KPI, which are aligned with the Company's current Business Plan and are applicable for the 2024-2026 term of office, including, namely, EDP's performance in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the CO2 intensity reduction target, the installed renewable energy capacity, aligned with public commitments, and the performance of the Bloomberg Gender Diversity Index. The Executive Board of Directors plays a central role in approving the EDP Group's Business Plan, as well as in its execution, foreseeing the decarbonisation path, supported by a global risk management process aligned with different climate scenarios. Before approval, the sustainability strategy is prepared by Investor Relations & ESG, supported by the Risk and Regulation, Markets and Stakeholders Management Divisions. In addition, with the involvement of the main Business Units, the Sustainability Committee discusses the proposed sustainability strategy prior to its approval. To highlight the role and impact of EDP's climate strategy, a Net Zero Acceleration Programme (NZAP) was created as part of the Climate Transition Plan.| Management Report in the sustainability section | Annual Report of the General and Supervisory Board VII.9.

Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 576| | | | | | | | This Remuneration Report aims to provide a comprehensive and integrated description of the remuneration earned by the members of the governing bodies and bodies of EDP, S.A. (“EDP” or “Company”), including all benefits, regardless of the respective form, attributed or due during the 2024 financial year. As provided for in the EDP Articles of Association, the remuneration of the members of the governing bodies is fixed by a Remuneration Committee appointed by the General Meeting, with the exception of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors Executive Board, which is set by a Remuneration Committee appointed by the General and Supervisory Board. On 10 April 2024, EDP’s General Meeting considered the Remuneration Report under the item on the approval of the Integrated Annual Report, which was approved by the majority of votes cast (97.22% in favour). At the same EDP General Shareholders’ Meeting, the proposal for the Remuneration Policy for the members of the corporate bodies submitted by the Remuneration Committee appointed by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, as well as the proposal for the Remuneration Policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, which was submitted by the Remuneration Committee appointed by the General and Supervisory Board, to be in force during the 2024 - 2026 triennium, were approved by, respectively, 99.34% and 91.25% of the votes cast. This Report also presents the implementation and payments made under the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Executive Board of Directors approved on 14 April 2021 for the 2021-2023 1 term of office, applicable to the members in office during that term, specifically with regard to the payment of the annual and multi-annual variable component of remuneration, thus demonstrating the continuity of the application of the previous Policy with regard to this components and compliance with the remuneration principles established at any given time. A. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors approved by the Remuneration Committee appointed by the General and Supervisory Board Procedures for adopting the policy At the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 10 April 2024 approved the proposed Remuneration 2 Policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, drawn up and submitted by the Remuneration Committee appointed by the General and Supervisory Board to be in force during the 2024-2026 triennium. As stated in the Remuneration Policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, drawn up under the terms of Law no. 50/2020, of 25 August and considering the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance (IPCG) adopted by EDP, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board considered that it was appropriate to review the Remuneration Policy of the Executive Board of Directors in view of the start of the mandate of this Board, the approval of the business plan and the feedback received from analysts and investors. The proposal for the Remuneration Policy of EDP's Executive Board of Directors resulting from this review was submitted and approved at EDP's General Shareholders’ Meeting of 10 April 2024. The policy review work that gave rise to the proposal presented to the General Shareholders’ Meeting was also based on a study requested by the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board and carried out by an independent consultant, as well as on the advice obtained by the aforementioned Committee in relation to corporate governance matters, good international practices and, in general, the remuneration policy as an instrument to promote the business strategy and the long-term and sustainability interests of EDP, provided by a Law firm, based on a benchmark analysis of the remuneration model, both qualitative and quantitative, of companies in the PSI 20 Index and comparable companies in the international electricity sector. In the proposed Executive Board of Directors' Remuneration Policy, the evolution of the remuneration system for directors and other EDP employees and the reasonable expectations of the members of the Executive Board of Directors regarding the remuneration model, its suitability and competitiveness were also given due consideration. The consideration of employment conditions and the remuneration model for EDP's employees and the economic and financial situation in the country and worldwide also contributed to this end. In fact, the consideration of these elements advised a review of the fixed component of the remuneration of the Chair of the Executive Board of Directors and an update of the fixed remuneration of the other members. Aspects relating to share-based incentives were also improved in order to clarify the consequences of certain corporate events and to bring them closer to the regulatory regimes that apply to them, in particular with regard to the possibility of converting part of this remuneration into cash, to the extent necessary to fulfil the tax obligations of the member of the Executive Board of Directors. In particular, account was taken of the fact that this amendment does not have the effect of reducing exposure to the risks and benefits of holding EDP shares during the period of deferred payment of remuneration if the member of the Executive Board of Directors chooses to receive part of the multi-annual | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 577| | | | | | | | variable component in cash. EDP, as the apex of a responsible multinational business group (“Group”) has a solid culture that ensures the management, monitoring, control, and supervision of the risks that the Group, its shareholders, employees, customers and, in general, all its stakeholders face, including those arising from the remuneration systems it adopts. EDP has remuneration practices transversal to the Group, consistent and based on common principles, which comply with the regulations applicable in the jurisdictions where it carries out its activity. EDP's remuneration systems, including those of the Executive Board of Directors, are defined to promote a culture of merit and high performance that ensures that people and teams are recognized, encouraged and rewarded according to their responsibility, availability, loyalty and competence placed at the service of EDP, guaranteeing action in line with the long-term interests of shareholders and the promotion of sustainable performance by EDP. The rules governing the exit and replacement of directors were also modified with a view to improving EDP's ability to attract talent, in the event of directors being replaced during the course of a term of office, and also to provide a framework for the competences of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board in the event of directors exiting. The proposal for the Remuneration Policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors was also aimed at simplification, transparency, and clarity, favouring a complete understanding of the framework of principles and rules that constitute it, which are applied by the Remuneration Committee of the General Board and Supervision. Definition, review, and renewal of the Policy The definition of the remuneration policy of the Executive Board of Directors is submitted for approval by the General Meeting of EDP, at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board. The Internal Regulations of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board establish the process of reviewing and applying the Remuneration Policy of the Executive Board of Directors, in accordance with the following principles: • the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board meets at least once a semester in order to monitor the situation of EDP in relevant matters for the purposes of determining and fixing the variable remuneration of the Chairman of the Executive Board of Directors and the other Directors and for the analysis of relevant information that may justify the consideration of adjustments to the application of the Remuneration Policy, proceeding as necessary and convenient to the hearing of the Financial Matters Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, of the Executive Board of Directors or any of EDP’s corporate structure in terms of compliance, risk management and Human Resources; • the definition and possible proposals for reviewing the Remuneration Policy are based on the articulation of EDP's long-term objectives, measured according to its strategic plan at any given moment, on the conclusions of comparative remuneration studies with national listed companies and with peers’ foreign sectors and in an articulation of principles with the remuneration plan of employees of EDP; • on an annual basis, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board will assess the opinions expressed by shareholders and analysts on EDP's Remuneration Policy or on the Remunerations Report; • the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board may hire the consultants and external support necessary to carry out studies on comparative remuneration and best corporate governance practices within the scope of remuneration policies for directors, assessing their independence conditions to the provision of services that may be requested. Without prejudice to (extraordinary) revision proposals, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board should, at least at the end of each term of office, when assessing compliance with the objectives set for the term in question, specifically analyse and decide on a reasoned basis, on the opportunity to propose the revision/update (ordinary) of the Remuneration Policy in any of its components, in order to ensure, at all times and with adequate agility, the fulfilment of the objective of the remuneration policy of retention and attraction of talent. The review of the base remuneration must also imply the weighting, according to benchmark criteria, of the total remuneration model practiced by comparable companies, in order to always ensure that the remuneration model of the members of the Executive Board of Directors of EDP remains balanced, fair, and competitive. Whenever a Remuneration Policy is proposed for reviewed, all relevant changes introduced will be described and how these changes reflect the votes and opinions expressed by shareholders on the Remuneration Policy, as well as the remuneration reports issued based on the aforementioned policy. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 578| | | | | | | | Principles and General Characteristics The Remuneration Policy of the Executive Board of Directors of EDP aims to comply with the applicable legislation, also in terms of its content, under the terms of Article 26-C of the Securities Code, the IPCG Corporate Governance Code adopted by EDP and good international practices, being mutatis mutandis coherent and consistent with the Remuneration Policy and remuneration practices applied to Group employees. Regardless of the functions performed in companies of the Group, namely at EDP Renováveis, the members of the Executive Board of Directors, are exclusively remunerated for their duties at EDP, and do not receive any remuneration or benefits for positions held at any other Group company. Fixed and variable remuneration will be paid exclusively by EDP The Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board may also allocate accommodation allowances or other benefits to members of the Executive Board of Directors who live permanently outside Portugal and is also responsible for determining the scope of the benefits, their value and the Group company responsible for their payment. Nevertheless, and considering EDP's global presence, members of the Executive Board of Directors may be remunerated (in whole or in part) by other EDP Group companies based outside Portugal, if this is necessary or advised by legal or regulatory issues. In such cases, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board is responsible for defining the respective conditions, which under no circumstances may result in compensation greater than that provided for in this policy and which must guarantee a level of disclosure identical to that which would exist if the compensation were fully paid by EDP. The remuneration of the members of the Executive Board of Directors must be aligned with the interests of shareholders, be focused on the creation of long-term value and be compatible with adequate and rigorous risk management, thus contributing to the Company's strategy, to its long- term values and interests and for its sustainability. Total remuneration and the remuneration model, in general, must be competitive, aligned with the practices of the international electricity sector and the market, facilitating the attraction and retention of talent, and the commitment to the company's challenges and ambitions. The competitiveness of the remuneration model/system of the Executive Board of Directors must be regularly and periodically assessed, namely through the analysis of the functions performed and benchmark exercises to be carried out with the support of independent entities, which is assumed to be done with a minimum triennial frequency, corresponding to the duration of the term-of-office of the Executive Board of Directors. The Executive Board of Directors' Remuneration Policy ensures a (fixed) base remuneration, the payment of which is not dependent on performance evaluation, which must be fair, competitive, and sufficiently relevant in relation to the total remuneration, in order to allow greater flexibility in the conformation of the variable component of the remuneration. The Remuneration Policy of the Executive Board of Directors comprises a variable remuneration, with an annual component, and a multi-annual component, with the nature of reward and incentive appropriate to the individual and collective performance of the members of the Executive Board of Directors and the promotion of good conduct, considering EDP's short- and long-term, financial, and non-financial objectives that are achieved, and the way in which they were achieved (pay for performance). The annual variable component is linked to financial objectives established in accordance with EDP's budget, and to non-financial objectives, measured annually, with an impact on the year subject to evaluation and consequent repercussion in the following years, being paid in cash. The annual variable remuneration must be determined after the approval of EDP's accounts at the Annual General Meeting each year, by reference to the previous year of annual performance. The multi-annual variable component is linked to the quantitative and qualitative objectives of EDP's Business Plan, the fulfilment of which will be evaluated at the end of a period of three years, with the respective payment subject to partial deferral. When assessing the annual and multi-annual performance of the members of the Executive Board of Directors and determining the value of the variable remuneration owed to them, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board may consider exceptional circumstances beyond EDP’s control resulting from political or administrative decisions affecting the members of the Executive Board of Directors, which have an impact on EDP's performance in terms of the fulfilment of objectives, mitigating their impact on the annual and multi-annual performance metrics, provided that it ensures that, in the event of the reversal of the decisions of a political or administrative nature in question, by graceful, judicial or arbitral means, the members of the Executive Board of Directors will also not benefit from the effects of such reversal decision. Similarly, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board may take into account other exceptional circumstances, of a cyclical nature, with which EDP is faced, which have an impact on the fulfilment of the objectives set for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, adjusting or adopting justifiable solutions appropriate to mitigate; in whole or in part, the impact of said consequences on the annual and multi-annual performance metrics and/or on the variable component of the remuneration, always subject to the maximum limits established for the variable component of the remuneration. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 579| | | | | | | | The multi-annual variable remuneration is paid in shares representing the share capital of EDP (“EDP Shares”), without prejudice to the possibility of converting part of this remuneration into cash. The payment of the multi-annual variable remuneration is partially deferred. The determination of the variable annual and multi-annual remuneration of the members of the Executive Board of Directors in accordance with the Remuneration Policy is the responsibility of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board. The payment of the variable remuneration is subject to the permanence of the member of the Executive Board of Directors at EDP until the end of the annual or three-year period of relevant performance, without prejudice to the provisions of the Remuneration Policy regarding departures in favourable or neutral circumstances or by agreement. In the event that EDP or members of the Executive Board of Directors are responsible, by shareholders or third parties, responsible for intentional unlawful acts of management, the annual and multiannual variable remuneration of the directors in question may, by decision of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, be suspended or not awarded, until such claims are determined and, in case they are considered valid, the variable remuneration paid during the period of practice of the facts, overdue, or to be awarded, will be reimbursed, retained or not awarded for compensation for damages caused up to the full amount thereof (malus and clawback clauses). Namely, the variable components of remuneration, linked to metrics of a financial and quantitative nature, granted on the basis of data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect, will be reimbursed, withheld or not awarded in their totality. In addition to some of the benefits provided to the others EDP employees, which the members of the Executive Board of Directors also benefit from, the members of this Board must also benefit, by virtue of the duties performed and in accordance with market practices and EDP's culture from a set of fringe benefits, of a non-financial nature. As with other EDP employees and in accordance with the legislation and Article 28(1) of EDP's Articles of Association, the Company must provide directors with a supplementary retirement pension due to old age or disability or, in its place, and in accordance with the practice consistently followed by the company, a retirement savings plan or equivalent instrument, namely a unit linked capitalization insurance. The Financial Matters Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of the General and Supervisory Board shall, together with the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board and at its request, monitor the adequacy and application of the Policy of Remuneration of the Executive Board of Directors and other documents, namely of a regulatory nature that develop it, with a view to ensuring its compliance with the legislation and internal policies and risk culture of EDP, as well as evaluating its effects on the appetite for risk and how such effects are managed. The Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board ensures certification, by an independent entity, of the application of performance metrics in accordance with the approved Remuneration Policy. Any action by the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board in which it makes use of the discretionary decision-making powers assigned to it in this Remuneration Policy must be disclosed and substantiated in the Remuneration Report for the financial year in question. Without prejudice to a proposal for an extraordinary review during the term of office according to benchmark criteria, the Remuneration Policy will be valid for a period of three years (2024-2026) and should be the subject of a proposal for renewal or revision to be submitted to the General Meeting of EDP to be held in 2027. EDP’s Executive Board of Directors Members do not enter into contracts, either with the Company or with third parties, the effect of which is to mitigate the risk associated with the variability of the remuneration determined for them by the Company. Apart from the situations described in this Remuneration Report, there are no contracts in force at EDP that foreseeing payments in the event of dismissal or termination by agreement of the members of the Executive Board of Directors' duties. Components of the remuneration of the members of the Executive Board of Directors Fixed Component – Base Remuneration The base remuneration of the members of the Executive Board of Directors must be aligned with the base remuneration practiced by a group of companies comparable with Executive Board of Directors, of the national market (PSI 20 Index) and of the international electricity sector, in terms of size, market capitalization, risk profile, relevance and geographic implantation, also considering, at all times, the complexity of the functions performed, the remuneration conditions of EDP workers and the average remuneration gap of the market between workers and managers. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A.

The remuneration levels for Executive Board of Directors are as follows: Annual base remuneration of the CEO: 950,000.00 Euros; and b. Annual base remuneration of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors: 644,000.00 Euros. The base remuneration of the members of the Executive Board of Directors is paid in 14 monthly instalments. Variable remuneration The variable remuneration of the members of the Executive Board of Directors is based on the success of the short and long-term performance of EDP, pursuant to the budget and business plan in effect, considering the performance of that Board and the individual performance of each member of the Executive Board of Directors, determined based on parameters of a financial and non- financial nature, individual and collective, absolute, and relative, in the terms indicated below. Annual Component The maximum annual variable remuneration may not be higher than 110%, in the case of the CEO, and 80% for the other members of the Executive Board of Directors of the base remuneration in force in the year to which the referred annual variable remuneration refers, being determined, and falling due, after the approval of accounts for the year to which it relates. The annual variable remuneration has the nature of an incentive/performance bonus linked to short- term financial and non-financial objectives (linked to the budget), assessed annually, with a reflection on the year under evaluation and possible repercussions in the following years, being paid in cash. The annual variable remuneration accrues on 31 December of each year, and its value is determined within three months after the approval of EDP's accounts at the Annual General Shareholders Meeting each year, by reference to the previous annual performance period. The annual variable component is allocated according to the following parameters, calculated on a linear basis: a. If the performance reaches less than 85% of the defined objectives, there is no place for the attribution of an annual variable component; b. If the performance achieved is between 85% (inclusive) and 95% (exclusive) of the defined objectives, an amount within the range of 10% and 25% of the fixed reference remuneration of each Executive Board of Directors member is due; c. If the performance achieved is between 95% (inclusive) and 100% (exclusive) of the defined objectives, an amount within the range of: (i) 25% to 75% in case of the CEO, and (ii) 25% to 52.5% in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors, of their fixed reference remuneration, is due; d. If the performance achieved is between 100% (inclusive) and 110% (exclusive) of the defined objectives, an amount within the range of (i) 75% to 110% in case of the CEO, and (ii) 52.5% to 80% in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors of their fixed reference remuneration; e. If the performance achieved reaches more than 110% of the objectives set, the amount corresponding to (i) 110% in the case of CEO and (ii) 80% in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors of their fixed reference remuneration. The performance level of a given quantitative objective must be greater than or equal to 85% for that same objective to be taken into account when calculating total performance, and each quantitative objective will have a performance ceiling of 120%. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A.

At the request of the member of the Executive Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board may determine that part of the multi-annual variable remuneration be converted into cash at the time of payment, to the strict extent necessary to cover the income tax levied on that income. The number of EDP Shares to be awarded to each member of the Executive Board of Directors will be the one resulting from the quotient between the value of the remuneration calculated as to be paid in EDP shares after performance evaluation, divided by the price attribution of EDP Shares corresponding to the volume weighted average price of EDP shares in the last 30 trading days of the last financial year prior to the approval of the Remuneration Police, by the EDP Annual General Shareholders Meeting held on 10 April 2024. The number of EDP Shares to be allocated to each member of the Executive Board of Directors will be adjusted, over time and after its initial calculation, according to the corporate facts/events that affect EDP shares (such as stock splits, reverse stock splits, reduction of the nominal value of shares, reduction of share capital, among others) and also at the time of the actual delivery of the shares according to the dividends paid or declared and not paid, between the end of the multiannual period to which the remuneration relates and the date of delivery of the shares. The multi-annual variable remuneration will be measured according to the fulfilment of long-term financial and non-financial objectives in accordance with the Business Plan approved by EDP, including the Company's sustainability metrics within the scope of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) policies and objectives. The payment of 50% of the multiannual variable remuneration payable in EDP Shares will be deferred and must be paid in three equal and successive annual instalments, being due, respectively, the first, one year, the second, two years and the third, three years after the annual General Shareholders Meeting in which the accounts are approved EDP corresponding to the last year of the term in question. The payment of a significant part of the multi-annual variable remuneration component in EDP Shares reinforces the focus on the capital market and the alignment of the interests of the members of the Executive Board of Directors with shareholders. The maximum multiannual variable remuneration cannot be higher than 185%, in the case of the CEO, and 145%, in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors, of the base remuneration earned during the three-year benchmark period, being attributed according to the following parameters, calculated on a linear basis: a. If the performance achieved is less than 85% of the defined objectives, there will be no multiannual variable remuneration attribution; b. If the performance achieved is between 85% (inclusive) and 95% (exclusive) of the defined objectives, it is due an amount within the range of 15% and 40% of the base total remuneration of each member of the Executive Board of Directors; c. If the performance achieved is between 95% (inclusive) and 100% (exclusive) of the defined objectives, an amount within the range of: (i) 40% and 125% in the case of the CEO and (ii) 40% and 97.5% in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors, of the respective base total remuneration is due; d. If the performance achieved is between 100% (inclusive) and 110% (exclusive) of the defined objectives, an amount within the range of: (i) 125% and 185%, in the case of the CEO and (ii) 97.5% and 145%, in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors, of the respective base total remuneration is due; e. If the performance achieved meets the defined objectives in 110% or more, an amount equal to: 185%, in the case of the CEO and 145%, in the case of the other members of the Executive Board of Directors, of the respective base total remuneration is due. The performance level of a given quantitative objective must be greater than or equal to 85% for that same objective to be taken into account when calculating total performance and each quantitative objective will have a maximum performance limit of 120%. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A.

As an input for determining these qualitative components, the General and Supervisory Board carries out a self-assessment of its activity and performance, as well as of the respective Committees, whose conclusions are presented in the annual activity report of the General and Supervisory Board (Article 12 of the Internal Regulations of the General and Supervisory Board). This corporate body also carries out an independent assessment of the activity and performance of the Executive Board of Directors, conclusions of which are presented to the General Shareholders’ Meeting and annexed to above referred report. EDP, on the initiative of the General and Supervisory Board, voluntarily instituted a formal and objective process to assess both the activity of this body and the activity of the Executive Board of Directors. The experience of recent years has allowed the General and Supervisory Board to introduce some changes to the process with a view to making it more effective and efficient. During 2024, the methodology adopted comprised the following steps: • conduction of the process of collective evaluation of the General and Supervisory Board, its Specialized Committees, and the Executive Board of Directors by an external entity, with a view to carrying out interviews based on individual questionnaires to the members of the supervisory body and to support in completing and validation of the treatment of information supporting the evaluation process; • at the beginning of 2025, each member of the General and Supervisory Board was interviewed by specialized consultants, answering questions of a quantitative and qualitative nature; namely, issues related to the composition, organization and functioning, performance of the General and Supervisory Board's activity and the relationship of this Board with its Specialized Committees and with other EDP governing bodies were analysed; Likewise, issues related to the composition and organization of the Executive Board of Directors, performance of the respective activity and the relationship between the Executive Board of Directors and the General and Supervisory Board were analysed; • assessment reports were produced by the General and Supervisory Board, its Specialized Committees, and the Executive Board of Directors, which were made available for consideration at a meeting of the General and Supervisory Board; • at a meeting, the General and Supervisory Board issued the respective assessment opinions, which are included in this body's annual activity report; • at the General Meeting, in the point concerning the assessment of the Executive Board of Directors, the Chairman of the General and Supervisory Board presents the respective opinion. In January 2025, the General and Supervisory Board also contracted Mercer (Portugal), Lda. to provide services within the scope of certification of the evaluation process of the afore mentioned body, its Specialized Committees, and the Executive Board of Directors. These certifications can be consulted in the 2024 Annual Report of the General and Supervisory Board. Maximum potential amount in case of full compliance with the defined objectives By reference to each year of term-of-office, the maximum potential amount to be attributed to the members of the Executive Board of Directors under the Remuneration Policy in force, in the event of full compliance with the defined objectives, which implies the payment of the maximum amounts fixed for the annual and multi-annual variable remuneration, under the terms described above, is the following: • Chair of the Executive Board of Directors: 3,752,500 Euros • Remaining members of the Executive Board of Directors: 8,372,000 Euros • Total amount: 12,124,500 Euros | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A.

Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 592| | | | | | | | In 2024, no amounts earned by members of the Executive Board of Directors were paid by other companies in a control or group 1 relationship or that are subject to a common control, in Portugal or abroad. In 2024, the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board hired an external consultant, Mercer (Portugal), Lda., to provide support in the validation and certification of the calculation of the annual and multi-annual variable remuneration of the members. of the Executive Board of Directors. Additional benefits The members of the Executive Board of Directors have the following benefit and rights (fringe benefits): • Payment of an annual Life Insurance and Personal Accident Insurance premium (along with the other associated costs) under the terms that will take as reference the policies in force at EDP; • Payment of an annual premium for / co-payment of / access to Health Insurance, extendable to spouse and children (along with other associated costs); • Use of a vehicle, in terms of the culture and practice consistently followed at EDP for service vehicles, which includes, for the members of the Executive Board of Directors, the assignment of a driver, payment of costs and expenses related to the vehicle and its use. Except in cases of variable remuneration programs already closed, the benefits and rights granted to the members of the Executive Board of Directors under the employment contracts they have entered into with EDP will be suspended during the exercise of their respective functions as members of the Executive Board of Directors, thus not adding to the benefits and rights indicated above. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the members of Executive Board of Directors who, having been appointed during a current term of office and who, due to the suspension of an employment contract they have concluded with EDP or another Group company, lose their right to performance bonuses, may request the Remuneration Committee of General and Supervisory Board to replace the multiannual variable remuneration with variable remuneration having the same conditions as that which would be attributed under the employment contract. In any case, the variable remuneration awarded under this paragraph may not exceed the maximum limits established for the variable remuneration components in the Remuneration Policy. The benefits and rights attributed to the members of the Executive Board of Directors under the terms of the Remuneration Policy may, by decision of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, with a favourable opinion from the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, be adjusted according to the practices market and continued alignment with EDP's general human resources policy applicable at any given time, and must be justifiably reported in the first remuneration report that is presented after the aforementioned adjustment. Pursuant to Article 402 of the Portuguese Companies Code and Article 28(1) of EDP's Articles of Association, the Company may create old-age or disability retirement pension supplements in favour of the members of the Executive Board of Directors. EDP has not created a supplementary retirement pension fund or plan for directors, instead making annual contributions / or co-contributions with the director to a Retirement Savings Plan (PPR) in a net amount corresponding to 10% of the respective remuneration base. The PPR is subscribed by EDP with the insurance company of its choice, indicating the executive director as an insured person and EDP's defined contribution will be paid in 12monthly instalments. The characteristics of the PPR will correspond to the usual characteristics in the market for this type of product, being refundable before the end of the respective term, under the terms legally applicable to these financial products. The PPR currently made available to the members of the EBD may, upon a favourable opinion from the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, be replaced by unit linked capitalization insurance or equivalent vehicle, depending on the offer and market practices at all times. Malus and clawback rules The right to variable remuneration and its effective payment is conditioned to the non-performance, by the members of the Executive Board of Directors, of any malicious illegal acts known after the evaluation has been carried out, and which cause damage to EDP or jeopardize the sustainability of performance of EDP and are the subject of a claim for compensation to EDP, by shareholders or third parties. If the provisions of the previous paragraph are verified, the variable remuneration paid during the period of practice of the facts, overdue, or to be awarded, will be reimbursed, withheld, or not awarded to compensate for the damages caused up to the competition of the full amount thereof. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 593| | | | | | | | Variable components of remuneration linked to metrics of a financial and quantitative nature, awarded on the basis of data that subsequently proves to be manifestly incorrect, will be reimbursed, withheld or not awarded in full. Payments in the event of early termination of service EBD members are elected for three-year terms, with the current term running from 2024 to 2026. There are no agreements with the members of the Executive Board of Directors that provide for the advance payment of indemnities or compensation in the event of termination of office before the end of the term, or of non-re-election. The multiannual compensation serves two purposes: as an incentive and as a reward for performance. With the passage of time, the weight of the incentive purpose diminishes while the weight of reward for performance aspect increases. Therefore, in the event of a favourable or neutral departure of the members of Executive Board of Directors, part of the multiannual variable remuneration may be allocated to reward the member's performance. For the purposes outlined in this policy: a. An "unfavourable departure" means the dismissal of an Executive Board of Directors member for cause or the early termination of his/her appointment that does not qualify as a favourable, neutral, or by mutual agreement departure; b. A "neutral departure" means the voluntary resignation of an Executive Board of Directors member after serving a minimum of 2 full years that does not qualify as a departure by mutual agreement, and (ii) that is accompanied by the execution of a non-compete agreement for a period of at least 2 years; c. A "favourable departure" means the early termination of his/her appointment for reasons beyond the control of the Executive Board of Directors member; d. A "departure by mutual agreement" means the termination of the appointment through an agreement with EDP, where the director consents to resign from the position and is accompanied by the execution of a non-compete agreement for a period of at least 2 years. In the event of: a. an unfavourable departure, the director is entitled to receive solely the remuneration, both fixed and variable, already accrued up to the date of termination of duties, with payment occurring under the same terms and within the same timeframe as for the Executive Board of Directors members who remain in office; b. a neutral departure, the Remuneration Committee of General and Supervisory Board may grant the administrator the right to receive up to 50% of the multiannual variable remuneration that would have been due at the end of the term, had they remained in office, with payment occurring under the same terms and within the same timeframe as for the Executive Board of Directors members who remain in office; c. a favourable departure, the director is entitled to receive the entire fixed remuneration owed up to the end of their term, along with the variable remuneration accrued up to the termination date, under the same terms and timeline as directors remaining in office. Additionally, they are entitled to a portion of the annual variable remuneration for the then current year and any unaccrued multiannual remuneration related to the then current term of office, pro rata to the period of the term actually served and the right to receive any other benefits inherent to the actual performance of duties for incomplete annual or multiannual performance periods shall lapse; d. an exit by mutual agreement, the director is entitled to receive the agreed compensation, which cannot exceed (i) the fixed remuneration amount until the end of the term, plus (ii) the full variable remuneration over the annual or multi-annual performance period, payable upon determination at the end of the relevant performance periods, as if the director had remained in office. In accordance with market practice, the Remuneration Committee of General and Supervisory Board may also approve the execution of non-compete agreements with the outgoing executive director, whatever the cause of the termination of service, or, within the scope of the termination of service agreement, establish an obligation of non-competition with EDP for a determined period of time, which includes the payment of compensation in exchange for the aforementioned non- competition obligation. Exceptional payments arising from termination of service and non-compete agreements Under the termination and non-competition agreement signed between EDP and António Luís Guerra Nunes Mexia in 2020, a PPR Life Insurance settlement of 7,451.71 euros was paid in January 2024. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | A. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Executive Board of Directors | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 594| | | | | | | | In addition, following the resignation submitted with effect from 12 April 2023, a termination, non- competition and non-solicitation agreement was signed with Eng. Miguel Nuno Simões Nunes Ferreira Setas, a termination, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement was signed under which EDP (i) would maintain the obligation to pay the aforementioned Director the pecuniary amounts due as remuneration in respect of the annual variable component for the year 2022 and the multi-annual variable component for the year 2020, the determination of which is the responsibility of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, under the terms of the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Executive Board of Directors approved by the General Meeting on 14 April 2021, (ii) pay a total amount of 560,000 Euros as compensation for non- competition and non-solicitation during 2024, and this amount was paid in April 2024. The termination, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement entered into was approved by the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board, under the terms of article 429 of the Companies Code, article 28 of EDP's Articles of Association and article 12(h) of the Internal Regulations of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board at a meeting held on 25 April 2023. B. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Governing Bodies approved by the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting The Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting takes into account, for the purposes of the proposed Remuneration Policy for the members of the General and Supervisory Board, the Board of the General Meeting and the Statutory Auditor, the duties performed, the fixed nature of the remuneration, as well as the mandatory rules on their determination, in particular the provisions of number 2 of article 440 of the Commercial Companies Code, which explains the criteria for determining the remuneration of the General and Supervisory Board, in article 374-A of the Commercial Companies Code, in article 60 of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, of 20 November, on the remuneration of the Statutory Auditor. It is therefore incumbent upon the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting to set the remuneration of the members of the following governing bodies: Board of the General Meeting, Chairman and members of the General and Supervisory Board, Statutory Auditor. Considering the competence of the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting it only promotes the definition of fixed remunerations, so the legal determinations and others relating to variable remuneration, with their various dimensions, are not applicable here, without prejudice to the necessary alignment with the principles that shape EDP’s remuneration policies Procedures for adopting the policy In the definition of the Remuneration Policy, proposals are made to ensure that remuneration is adequate, contribute to the business strategy and sustainability of EDP and reflect the risk profile and the long-term objectives and interests of EDP, showing still complying with legal norms, principles, and relevant national and international recommendations. The Remuneration Committee elected by the General Shareholders’ Meeting is also attentive to market references, particularly those relating to companies listed on the Portuguese stock exchange. Also in defining this policy, the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting maintains interactions both with members of the relevant governing bodies and with the Company's stakeholders. As is the case of the Executive Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and its Specialized Committees, the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Shareholders’ Meeting develops mechanisms for the prevention and management of conflicts of interest, under the terms set out in article 11 of the EDP Articles of Association, observing the following essential rules: i. When a member of the Remuneration Committee is in a situation of actual or apparent conflict of interest in a decision to be taken by this body, he must previously inform the Committee of the facts that may constitute or give rise to a conflict between his interests and the Social. ii. In the situation referred to in the previous number, the member of the Remuneration Committee must abstain from participating and voting at the meeting in which the topic is discussed and voted on, without prejudice to the duty to provide information and clarifications that the Committee or the respective members ask you. It should also be noted that, under the statutory terms, the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting is composed of a majority of independent members. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | B. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Governing Bodies | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 595| | | | | | | | General Definition and Characterization When defining the Remuneration Policy presented by the Remuneration Committee and approved at the General Meeting, held on 10 April 2024, the following factors were considered: i. Experience has shown that the duties of the General and Supervisory Board are increasingly demanding and complex, which means that it has to be more available, and its members have to be adequately remunerated. ii. For this reason, the remuneration of the governing bodies, with the exception of the remuneration of the Chair of the General and Supervisory Board, underwent a significant increase in the last term of office. iii. In view of the amendment to the articles of association to be voted at the Company's General Meeting, the Chair of the General Shareholders Meeting may no longer inherently belong to the General and Supervisory Board. Without prejudice to this change, the Chair of the General Meeting of Shareholders may be asked to take part in meetings of the GSB, which shall define the conditions of participation and remuneration. iv. The Remuneration Committee also considered the high inflation rates of recent years, making it necessary to update remuneration. This update has also taken into account the one that will be proposed for the members of the Executive Board of Directors in order to ensure adequate consistency. v. Without prejudice to the above, the Remuneration Committee is aware that the remuneration must also consider market comparable and be sufficiently attractive and adjusted to the responsibility of the functions, in a Company that has a strong international presence and aims to attract the most qualified professionals; In view of the above, and as provided for in the approved Policy, at the beginning of 2025 the Remuneration Committee carried out a benchmark study, essentially relating to the remuneration of the General Supervisory Board, in order to assess the standards referred to and to be able to recommend, in a sustained manner, any changes that may be justified. The Remuneration Policy for the Members of the Governing Bodies aims to comply with the applicable legal provisions, and incorporate the corporate governance guidelines set out in the IPCG Corporate Governance Code adopted by the Company, framing within the guidelines that have been defined by the Company's reference shareholders, which are formulated in accordance with the aforementioned applicable rules and recommendations and with the best practices existing in the sector. It should be noted, as already mentioned, that the Remuneration Policy for the Members of the Governing Bodies has a necessarily limited and reduced scope, since the definition of the Remuneration Policy for the members of the Executive Board of Directors is in charge of the Remuneration of the General and Supervisory Board. Therefore, are not within scope of the Remuneration Policy does not include any variable remuneration to directors, remuneration based on shares or any other remuneration complement, a matter that is the responsibility of the Remuneration Committee of the General and Supervisory Board. For this reason, several legal provisions, concerning the referred matters, notably, those set forth in Article 26-C (3) (4) of the Portuguese Securities Code. Principles underlying the remuneration policy of the members of the Governing Bodies (excluding that of the Executive Board of Directors) The Remuneration Committee elected by the General Shareholder’s Meeting defined the Remuneration Policy for the members of the General and Supervisory Board, having as a guiding principles that it should be clear, understandable, simple, transparent, moderate, adapted to the conditions of the work and the Company's economic situation, as well as being competitive and equitable, in order to guarantee the purpose of creating value for shareholders and other stakeholders. The Remuneration Committee elected by the General Shareholders’ Meeting based its decisions on Remuneration Policy on the following main guiding principles: i. Definition of a simple, clear, understandable, transparent policy in line with EDP's culture, so that the remuneration practice can be based on uniform, consistent, fair, and balanced criteria. ii. Definition of a policy consistent with effective risk management and control, to avoid excessive exposure to risk and conflicts of interest and seeking consistency with the Company's long- term objectives and values. iii. Evaluation and encouragement of a judicious action in which merit must be duly rewarded, ensuring levels of homogeneity compatible with the necessary cohesion of the General Supervisory Board, while also considering the economic and financial situation of the company and the country, even though EDP operates on a global scale. iv. Alignment of the remuneration of the various members of the governing bodies by companies with the highest market capitalization and European counterparts, naturally adapted to the Portuguese market. | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | B. Remuneration policy applicable to members of the Governing Bodies | | | | | | | | | | | Index| Part III| 596| | | | | | | | v. The most recent recommendations issued by the European Union and the Securities Market Commission. vi. Alignment of remuneration with the specific responsibilities inherent to the position in question. vii. Alignment of remuneration with the time required to spend in each position. viii. Simplification of the remuneration policy. Structure of the remuneration policy for the members of the Governing Bodies (excluding that of the Executive Board of Directors) Based on these criteria and considering the challenges that the Company intends to pursue during the term of office 2024-2026, the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Meeting decided that the following guidelines should apply: • A distinction must be maintained between the remuneration attributed to the members of the General Supervisory Board and those fixed to the members of the Executive Board of Directors, with the former not being allocated a variable remuneration component or any other remuneration supplement. • The performance with merit and the complexity of the functions performed by the members of each body must be considered, so that the cohesion, stability, and development of the Society are not jeopardized. • Regarding the Chair of the General Supervisory Board, it must be considered that the functions require great availability and include a strong component of institutional representation. He may also chair the Financial Matters Committee, without additional remuneration. • If the chairmanship of the Financial Matters Committee is assigned to another member of the General Supervisory Board, other than its Chair, he/she must have a compatible remuneration, depending on the responsibility of the position and the requirement of availability. • It is also important to differentiate the performance of other specific functions, within the scope of the General Supervisory Board, namely the participation of members of the General Supervisory Board in other committees, as well as the functions performed in these committees. • It should be considered that it is appropriate to differentiate the Remuneration Committee from the General and Supervisory Board in view of the demands and responsibilities of the role, reflected in particular in the time commitment required for the role. C. Specifics applicable to the remuneration of the members of the General and Supervisory Board In compliance with the provisions of article 440 of the Commercial Companies Code, the remuneration of the members of the General and Supervisory Board is of a fixed nature, considering the duties performed. The Remuneration Policy currently in force for the three-year term 2024-2026 was approved at the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 10 April 2024. The remuneration of the Chair of the General and Supervisory Board was set considering, namely, the necessary availability for the performance of his duties as well as the important component of institutional representation required. The remuneration of the Chairman of the General and Supervisory Board in office until 10 April 2024 also includes the costs associated with the use of the vehicle and its driver. Remuneration limits Accordingly, and considering the aforementioned, the Remuneration Committee elected by the General Shareholders’ Meeting submitted to the shareholders the proposal for the gross remuneration of the members of the governing bodies identified below, for the financial year that began on 10 April 2024, under the terms that follow: | ---|--- GENERAL AND SUPERVISORY BOARD | ANNUAL REMUNERATION CHAIR OF THE GENERAL AND SUPERVISORY BOARD: | EUR. 592,000.00 Member of the General and Supervisory Board: | EUR. 80,500.00 | | | | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual Report 2024 Remunerations Report | C.

Economic activity of EDP Group EDP, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as EDP), currently with head office in Lisbon, Avenida 24 de Julho 12 and with its shares listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange, results from the transformation of Electricidade de Portugal, E.P., incorporated in 1976 following the nationalization and consequent merger of the main companies in the electricity sector in Portugal. During 1994, as established by Decreelaws 7/91 and 131/94, the EDP Group (EDP Group or Group) was set up following the split of EDP, which led to a number of directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of EDP. The Group’s businesses are currently focused on the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity and supply of gas. Additionally, the Group also operates in related areas such as engineering, laboratory tests, professional training and energy services. EDP Group operates essentially in the European (Portugal, Spain, France, Poland, Romania, Italy, Belgium, United Kingdom, Greece, Germany and Netherlands), American (Brazil, Colombia and North America) and Southeast Asia energy sectors. 2. Material accounting policies A) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated and company financial statements of EDP, S.A. reflect the results of the company's operations and its subsidiaries (EDP Group or Group) and the Group's interest in its joint ventures and associated companies, for the periods ended on 31 December 2024 and 2023 and EDP S.A.'s Executive Board of Directors approved them on 26 February 2025. The financial statements are presented in thousand Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand. In accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Council and Parliament, of 19 July 2002, as transposed into Portuguese legislation through Decree-law 35/2005 of 17 February 2005, with changes updated by the Decree-law 158/2009 of 13 July and Decree-law 98/2015 of 2 June, the company's financial statements and the Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (E.U). IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and their predecessor bodies. The EDP Group's consolidated and company financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the E.U. and effective since 1 January 2024. The accounting policies described in this note have been applied consistently by all the Group companies and in all periods presented in the consolidated and company financial statements. The new standards and interpretations recently issued but not yet effective and that the Group has not yet applied on its consolidated financial statements, are detailed in note 3. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, modified by the application of the fair value accounting to derivative financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Assets and liabilities that are hedged under hedge accounting are stated at fair value in respect of the hedged risk. Non- current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Liabilities for defined benefit plans are recognised at the present value of the obligation net of plan assets fair value. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Board of Directors to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and of the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable in accordance with the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving the highest degree of judgment or complexity, or for which the assumptions and estimates are considered significant, are disclosed in note 4 - Critical accounting estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements. B) Basis of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and results of EDP, S.A. and its subsidiaries (Group or EDP Group) and the equity and results attributable to the Group, through the investments in associates and jointly controlled entities. Accumulated losses in entities where the Group exercises control are attributed to non-controlling interests in the corresponding proportions held, implying that the Group can recognise negative non-controlling interests. On a step acquisition process resulting in the acquisition of control the revaluation of any interest previously held is booked against the income statement when goodwill is calculated. On a partial disposal resulting in loss of control over a subsidiary, any participation retained is revalued at market value on the sale date and the gain or loss resulting from this revaluation is booked against the income statement, as well as any gain or loss resulting from the disposal. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 618| | | | | | The consolidated financial statements include the Group's attributable share of total reserves and profits or losses of entities where the Group exercises joint control with other partners (joint ventures) and entities where the Group exercises significant influence (associates), included under the equity method. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in a joint venture, its carrying amount is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has a legal or contractual obligation to cover such losses on behalf of that entity. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (company level) At a company level, investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates not classified as held for sale or not included in a disposal group which is classified as held for sale are accounted for at cost in the company's financial statements, and are subject to periodic impairment tests, whenever indication exists that certain financial investment may be impaired. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity, obtaining benefits and being exposed to the risks from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in the consolidated income statement. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a business, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, are booked directly in the consolidated income statement. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the consolidated income statement. If the initial purchase price allocation of assets and liabilities acquired is identified as provisional, in the subsequent 12 months after the business combination transaction, the legal acquirer should make the final allocation of the purchase price related to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. These adjustments with impact on the amount of goodwill determined and booked in previous periods, originate a restatement of the comparative information, which is reflected on the statement of financial position, with effect from the date of the business combination transaction. The entire positive goodwill resulting from acquisitions is recognised as an asset at acquisition date and is not subject to amortisation. Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the income statement in the period when the business combination occurs. The recoverable amount of the goodwill is assessed annually, regardless of the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Goodwill is not adjustable due to changes in the initial estimate of the contingent considerations and the difference is booked in the income statement. The EDP Group recognises the non-controlling interests at fair value including the portion of goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests. Business combinations achieved in stages In a business combination achieved in stages, on the date of obtaining control, the excess of the aggregate of (i) the consideration transferred; (ii) the amount of any non-controlling interest recognised in the acquiree; and (iii) the fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquired business; over the net of amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is recognised as goodwill. On the other hand, if the difference is negative, after evaluating the consideration transferred, of the amount of any non-controlling interest recognised in the acquiree and the fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquired business, over the net value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it is recognised in the income statement in the caption Other income. Additionally, the Group reclassifies the deferred amounts in other comprehensive income relating to the previously held equity interest to the income statement or consolidated reserves, according to their nature. Purchases of non-controlling interests and dilution In acquisitions (dilutions not resulting in a loss of control) of non-controlling interests, the difference between the fair value of the non-controlling interests acquired and the consideration paid, is accounted against reserves. The acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related with investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests, are recorded as a liability for the fair value of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. The fair value of the liability is determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against the income statement as well as the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding). | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 619| | | | | | Put options related to non-controlling interests EDP records written put options at the date of acquisition of a business combination or at a subsequent date as an advance acquisition of these interests, recording a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, irrespective of the estimated probability that the options will be exercised. The difference between this amount and the amount corresponding to the percentage of the interests held in the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the put liability are recognised in profit or loss. Acquisition of assets out of the scope of IFRS 3 In order to assess whether an acquisition of an asset or a group of assets is a business, EDP identifies the elements in the acquired entity (inputs, processes and outputs), assesses the capability to create outputs (it should have at a minimum, an input and a substantive process to be assessed as a business) and, finally, assesses the capability of market participants to continuing to create outputs (conducting the activities as a business). In the case of an integrated set of activities that is in an early-stage of development and has not started to generate outputs, EDP considers other factors to determine whether it constitutes a business, such as if: (i) planned principal activities have begun; (ii) employees, intellectual property, and other inputs and processes are present; (iii) a plan to produce outputs is being pursued; and/or (iv) access to customers who will purchase the outputs can be obtained. Generally, an early-stage entity that has employees capable of developing an output will be considered a business. Therefore, in application of the above, EDP concludes that IFRS 3 is not applicable when there are no outputs at the acquisition date due to an early-stage of development, and the acquired process(es) cannot be considered substantive. Thus, the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets that does not fulfil the conditions to be considered a business is classified as an acquisition of a company out of scope of IFRS 3. Investments in foreign subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates of the Group are prepared using their functional currency, defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. In the consolidation process, the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Euros at the official exchange rate at the reporting date. Regarding the investments in foreign operations that are consolidated using the full consolidation method and equity method, the exchange differences between the amount of equity expressed in Euros at the beginning of the period and the amount translated at the official exchange rates at the end of the period, on a consolidated basis, are booked against reserves. Foreign currency goodwill arising on the acquisition of these investments is remeasured at the official exchange rate at the reporting date directly against reserves. The income and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Euros at the approximate exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences from the translation into Euros of the net profit for the period, arising from the differences between the rates used in the income statement and those prevailing at the reporting date are recognised in reserves. On disposal of a foreign subsidiary, the related exchange differences previously recognised in reserves, are accounted for in the income statement. Balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation Inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and losses arising on transactions with joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in those entities. C) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into Euros at the exchange rates at the reporting date. These exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement as financial results. Foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities accounted for at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities stated at fair value are translated into Euros at the exchange rates at the dates the fair value was determined. D) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting Derivative financial instruments are recognised on the trade date at fair value. Subsequently, the fair value of derivative financial instruments is remeasured on a regular basis, being the gains or losses on remeasurement recognised directly in the income statement, except for derivatives designated as cash flow or net investment hedging instruments. Recognition, in the income statement, of the resulting gains and losses on remeasurement of hedging derivatives depends on the hedge model used. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 620| | | | | | The fair value of derivative financial instruments corresponds to their market value, if available, or to quotes indicated by external entities through the use of valuation techniques accepted by the market, which are compared in each date of report to fair values available in common financial information platforms, namely Bloomberg and Reuters. Hedge accounting The Group uses financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and price risk resulting from its operational and financing activities. Derivatives not qualified for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 are accounted for as trading instruments. Hedging derivatives are recorded at fair value, being the gains and losses recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model applied by the Group. Fair value hedge Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged assets and liabilities or group of hedged assets and liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk. For cross currency interest rate swaps, the currency basis spread is excluded from the hedge designation, but considered as a hedging cost in other comprehensive income, in cost of hedging reserve. When the hedging relationship ceases to comply with the requirements for hedge accounting, the accumulated gains or losses concerning the fair value of the risk being hedged are amortised over the residual period to maturity of the hedged item. Cash flow hedge Changes in the fair value of derivatives qualified as cash flow hedges are recognised in reserves. The cumulative gains or losses recognised in reserves are reclassified to the income statement when the hedged item affects the income statement. When a hedging relation of a future transaction is discontinued, if the transaction is still expected to take place, the changes in the fair value of derivative recognised in reserves remain recognised in reserves until the future hedged transaction occurs. When the future transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses recognised in reserves are recorded immediately in the income statement. Net investment hedge The net investment hedge model is applied on a consolidated basis to investments in subsidiaries in foreign currencies. This model allows that the exchange differences recognised in the currency translation reserve to be offset by the foreign exchange differences in foreign currency loans or currency derivatives contracted, recognised in Currency translation reserve - Net investment hedge. For cross currency interest rate swaps, the cross currency basis spread and forward points are not designated into the hedge relationship, but deferred as a hedging cost in other comprehensive income, in Currency translation reserve - Net investment hedge - Cost of hedging, and recognised in profit or loss over the period of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recognised in the income statement. The accumulated foreign exchange gains and losses regarding the net investment and the related hedging instrument recognised in equity are transferred to the income statement when the foreign currency subsidiary is sold, as part of the gain or loss resulting from the disposal. Effectiveness The Group performs prospective tests at the inception date and at each reporting date, in order to demonstrate its effectiveness, showing that any adjustments to the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged are offset by adjustments to the fair value of the hedging instrument. Any ineffectiveness is recognised in the income statement when it occurs. E) Debtors and other assets Financial assets EDP Group classifies its financial assets, at the initial recognition, based on the business model for managing the financial assets ("business model test") and their contractual cash flow characteristics ("SPPI test"). Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition. However, if the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, it will classify newly originated or newly purchased financial assets under the new business model, but will keep the classification of existing assets under the previous business model. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell these financial assets. Financial assets are derecognised when: (i) the Group contractual rights to receive their future cash flows have expired, (ii) the Group has transferred substantially the risks and rewards of ownership, or (iii) although retaining some, but not substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, the Group has transferred control over the assets. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 621| | | | | | If a factoring transaction results in the transfer of substantially all risks and benefits associated with the assets, the Group proceeds to derecognise the transferred financial assets and recognises the difference between the carrying amount and the amount received in the income statement (non-recourse factoring). Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets included within this category are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. Loans and trade receivables are generally held to collect contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest, thus they meet the criteria for amortised cost measurement. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Financial assets included within this category are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value, with the changes in the carrying amount booked in other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified under the previously referred categories, are classified at fair value through profit or loss. Regardless of the business model assessment, EDP Group can elect to classify a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (“accounting mismatch”). Impairment losses EDP Group recognises an impairment loss based on the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model, before the objective evidence of a loss event from past actions. This model is the basis for the recognition of impairment losses on held financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (which includes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans and debt securities). The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial asset does not increase significantly since its initial recognition, EDP Group measures the loss allowance for that financial asset at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. If the credit risk increases significantly since its initial recognition, EDP Group measures the loss allowance for that financial asset at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Regardless of the above, a significant increase in credit risk is presumed if there is an objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, including if there is observable data that comes to the attention of the holder of the asset about the following loss events, among others: significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; restructuring of an amount due to the Group in terms that it would not consider otherwise; a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation. As soon as the loss event occurs, the impairment allowance would be allocated directly to financial asset affected, that is, the asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the losses are recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, the previously recognised impairment losses are reversed in profit or loss, if the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. Trade receivables and contract assets EDP Group applies the simplified approach and records lifetime expected credit losses on all trade receivables and contract assets, including those with a significant financing component. The estimated ECL are calculated based on actual credit loss experience over a period that, per business and type of customers, is considered statistically relevant and representative of the specific characteristics of the underlying credit risk. When applicable, EDP Group estimated the ECL rates separately for corporates and individuals. Considering the particularities of each business, exposures are segmented based on common credit risk characteristics such as credit risk grade, geographic region and/or industry - for corporates; and type of product purchased - for individuals, as applicable. Actual credit loss experience is adjusted by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which historical data was collect, current conditions and EDP Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables. Other receivables For other receivables related to regulatory assets, loans, financial entities and State carried at amortised cost and FVOCI, EDP Group performs an analysis based on the general approach. On making its assessment, the | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 622| | | | | | company has to make assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates, which requires judgement. The inputs used for risk assessment and for calculation of the loss allowances for financial assets includes: (i) credit ratings (as far as available) from external credit rating companies such as Standard and Poors, Moody’s and Fitch; (ii) significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers in the Group and changes in the operating results of the borrower; (iii) public market data, namely on probabilities of default and loss given default expectations; and (iv) macroeconomic information (such as market interest rates or growth rates). Leases – Lessor perspective At the commencement date, EDP Group, as a lessor, classifies each of its lease as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, the lease is classified as an operating lease. Therefore, at the commencement date, the Group recognises: i. assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. ii. lease payments from operating leases as income on either a straight‐line basis or another systematic basis (if that basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished). The assets subject to operating leases are presented in its statement of financial position according to the nature of the underlying asset. F) Trade payables and other liabilities Financial liabilities The Group recognises financial liabilities at the issuance date (trade date): (i) initially at fair value less transaction costs; and (ii) subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. All financial liabilities are booked at amortised cost, with the exception of the financial liabilities hedged at fair value hedge, which are stated at fair value on risk component that is being hedged. EDP Group derecognises a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) from its statement of financial position when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, or a part of it, is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Lease liabilities Lease liabilities on the commencement date are measured by the Group based on the present value of the future payments of that lease contracts, discounted using EDP Group's incremental borrowing rate for each portfolio of leases identified. The variable lease payments that do not depend in an index or a rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities, nor the right-of-use asset being recognised as cost in the period when they occur. EDP Group determines the lease term as the non-cancelable period of a lease, together with both: (i) periods covered by an option to extend the lease, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and (ii) periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. EDP Group applies the recognition exemption provided by IFRS 16 for the leases which lease term is 12 months or less, or that are for a low-value asset. After the commencement date, the lease liabilities are increased to reflect interest on the liability and reduced to reflect the lease payments made. EDP Group remeasures the lease liabilities, and adjusts the corresponding right-of-use assets, by discounting the revised lease payments, using an unchanged discount rate, if either: i) there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments; or ii) there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. If there is a lease modification that do not qualifies to be accounted as a separate lease, EDP Group remeasures the lease liabilities and adjusts the corresponding right-of-use assets, by discounting the revised lease payments, using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. G) Equity instruments Equity instruments issued Costs directly attributable to the issuance of equity instruments are recognised in equity, as a deduction to the amount issued. Amounts paid or received relating to sales or acquisitions of equity instruments are recognised in equity, net of transaction costs. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 623| | | | | | Distributions related to equity instruments are deducted from equity, as dividends, when declared. Preference shares issued by the Group are considered as an equity instrument when there is no contractual obligation to redeem the shares and dividends are paid at the discretion of the Group. Preference shares issued by subsidiaries, classified as equity instruments and held by third parties, are recognised as non- controlling interests. Equity instruments held EDP Group classifies the equity instruments that are held for trading at fair value to profit or loss. For all other equity instruments, management has the ability to make an irrevocable election on initial recognition, on an instrument-by- instrument basis, to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. If this election is made, all fair value changes, excluding dividends that are a return on investment, will be included in other comprehensive income. There is no recycling of amounts from other comprehensive income to profit and loss (for example, on sale of an equity investment) being, at that time, transferred to retained earnings. H) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are recognised as Property, plant and equipment only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. Repair and maintenance costs are charged in the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The Group carries out impairment tests whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, being any impairment recognised in the income statement. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on the other assets is calculated using the straight-line method, less the residual value, over their estimated useful lives, as follows: | ---|--- | Number of years Buildings and other constructions | 8 to 50 Plant and machinery: | \- Hydroelectric generation | 30 to 75 \- Thermoelectric generation | 25 to 45 \- Renewable generation | 20 to 35 \- Electricity distribution and transmission | 10 to 40 \- Other plant and machinery | 4 to 25 Transport equipment | 4 to 25 Office equipment and tools | 2 to 16 Other property, plant and equipment | 3 to 50 The Group reviews the estimate of the useful life of assets whenever a change in the expected economic benefits flowing from the assets occurs as well as when the technical use planned for the assets differs from previous estimates. Changes occurring in the depreciation charge for the year are accounted prospectively. Capitalisation of borrowing costs and other directly attributable costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets are capitalised as part of the cost of these assets. The amount of interest costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on those assets. The capitalisation rate corresponds to the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the outstanding borrowings during the period. The capitalisation of borrowing costs begins when expenditure for the assets is being incurred, borrowing costs have been incurred and activities necessary to prepare all or part of the assets for their intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use or sale are completed. Other expenses directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of the assets, such as cost of consumed materials and personnel costs, are also capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. Investment government grants Investment government grants are initially booked as Trade payables and other liabilities from commercial activities - Non-Current only when there is reasonable certainty that the grant will be received and that the Group will fulfil the grant term conditions. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are booked in the income statement on a linear basis, on the same period in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the acquisition of assets are recognised in the income statement over the related assets useful life. Transfers of assets from customers Transfers of assets from customers concession arrangement and out of the scope of IFRIC 12 are related to payments of performance obligations fulfilled over the useful life of the underlying asset. Accordingly, when they are received from the customers, they are booked as liabilities instead of revenue. The assets are | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 624| | | | | | recognised by the estimated construction cost and are depreciated over their useful lives. The liabilities are recognised as revenue based on the corresponding useful life of the underlying asset. I) Intangible assets The Group's intangible assets are booked at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The Group performs impairment tests whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, being any impairment recognised in the income statement. Acquisition and development of software The costs of purchasing software and the costs incurred by the Group to implement it are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Costs incurred by the Group directly related to the development of software, that are expected to generate economic benefits beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Such costs include employee costs directly associated to the project and are amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Software maintenance costs are charged to the income statement when incurred. Concession rights on distribution electricity The concession rights on distribution of electricity in Brazil are recorded as intangible assets and amortised on a straight-line basis over the concessions period, not exceeding 30 years. Concession rights to use the public hydric domain Portuguese concession rights to use the public hydric domain are booked as intangible assets and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the concession period, which does not exceed 74 years. EDP Group records as concession rights the financial compensations for the use of public domain assets, whenever these compensations are paid and for all the Group subsidiaries. The accounting policy related to intangible assets assigned to concessions in the scope of IFRIC 12 is described in z). Concession rights on generation of electricity The concession rights on generation of electricity in Brazil are recorded as intangible assets and amortised on a straight-line basis over the concession period. Industrial property and other rights Industrial property and other rights are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. J) Right-of-use assets EDP Group presents the information related to lease contracts in the caption Right-of-use assets, in a separate line in the Statement of Financial Position. These assets are accounted for at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of these assets comprises the initial costs and the initial measurement of the lease liabilities, deducted from the prepaid amounts and any incentives received. Depreciation of right-of-use assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, considering the lease contract terms. If EDP Group remeasures the lease liabilities (see f)), the corresponding right-of-use assets are adjusted accordingly. K) Investment property The Group classifies as investment property, property held for capital appreciation and/or for rental purposes. Investment property is recognised initially at acquisition or production cost, including directly attributable transaction costs, and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures on investment property are only added to the cost of the asset when it is probable that additional future economic benefits will arise when compared to initial recognition. Investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets (between 8 and 50 years). | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 625| | | | | | L) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of the acquisition cost and the net realisable value. The cost of inventories includes purchases, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs. The cost of inventories is determined by using the weighted average cost method. CO2 Licenses held by the Group for trade purposes are booked as inventories and measured at fair value, at each reporting date, against the income statement. The Group holds Guarantees of Origin (GOs) as part of its generation and commercialization activities, which are recognised as Inventories and valued at the weighted average cost. The Green Certificates (GCs) are considered subsidies in accordance with IAS 20 and are accounted for under the caption Revenues and cost of Energy Sales and Services and Other. The unsold certificates are recognised as Inventories in accordance with IAS 2 and discharged at the time of their effective sale and any difference between the selling price and the fair value of the certificates is registered in the profit and loss account. M) Employee benefits Pensions Some EDP Group companies grant post-employment benefits to employees under defined benefit and defined contribution plans, namely pension plans that grant complementary retirement benefits for age and early retirement pensions. Defined benefit plans In Portugal, the defined benefit plan is assured by (i) a closed pension fund managed by an external entity, covering responsibilities with benefits that are complementary to those provided under the Social Security System (namely retirement and early retirement pensions); and (ii) by a complementary specific provision, recognised in the statement of financial position. Benefits are generally determined and assigned through the combination of one or more factors, such as age, years of service and the relevant base retribution (pensionable salary). The responsibilities for early retirement are not covered by the fund’s assets, being adequately provisioned through a specific provision. In Spain, the defined benefit plan is partially covered by insurance policies, and complemented by a specific provision, recognised at the statement of financial position. Benefits are generally determined and assigned through the combination of one or more factors, such as age, years of service and the relevant base retribution (pensionable salary). In Brazil, EDP São Paulo and EDP Espírito Santo have defined benefit plans managed by a closed complementary welfare entity, external to EDP Group, covering responsibilities associated with retirement and early retirement pensions, according to factors such as age, years of service and the relevant base retribution. In the pension plans in Brazil, the surplus amount of the assets fund generally can not be reimbursed to the company, since there are very strict rules on the amount that can be recovered, therefore the asset amount to be recognised is greatly reduced. The Group’s pension liability for each plan is calculated by independent experts annually, for each plan, at the reporting date, using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used in the calculation is determined based on market interest rates of high quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have similar maturity to the related pension liability. Actuarial gains and losses presented in consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprise: (i) the actuarial gains and losses resulting from increases or decreases in the present value of the defined benefit obligation because of changes in actuarial assumptions and experience adjustments; (ii) the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset); and (iii) any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset). The increase in past service costs arising from early retirements (retirements before the normal retirement age) or plan amendments is recognised in the income statement when incurred. The Group recognises as operational results, in the income statement, current and past service costs. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognised in financial results. The assets of the plan comply with the recognition criteria established by IFRIC 14 - IAS 19 and the minimum funding requirements established by law or by contract. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 626| | | | | | Defined contribution plans Some Group companies in Portugal, Spain and Brazil have defined contribution social benefit plans that complement those granted by the Social Security System, under which they pay an annual contribution to the plans, calculated in accordance with the rules established in each plan. These contributions represent a percentage of the fixed and variable remuneration of the employees included in this plan and are accounted for as cost for the period in which they are due. Other benefits granted - Defined Benefit Type Some EDP Group companies provide medical benefits under which employees and immediate eligible family members have favourable conditions in medical assistance and health care services, namely: • Concerning EDP Group companies in Portugal, through the provision of medical assistance that is complementary to the one provided under the National Health System, provided using infrastructures owned and managed internally; • Concerning EDP Group companies in Spain and Brazil, through the share of costs in eligible medical and health expenses, in an external agreed network. In Portugal, the medical benefit and death benefits plan is assured by (i) a closed fund managed by an external entity, created in December 2016, and (ii) a complementary specific provision, recognised in EDP Group company’s statement of financial position. In Spain, the medical care and death subsidy benefits plan is partially covered by insurance policies, and complemented by a specific provision, booked in EDP Group company’s statement of financial position. In Brazil, the liability is being covered by provisions booked in EDP Group company’s statement of financial position. Measurement and recognition of the medical benefits liabilities are similar to the defined benefit pension plans liabilities, explained above. In addition, EDP Group grants other benefits, supporting charges arising from responsibilities for disability benefit’s complements, survival benefits, life insurance, antiquity and retirement benefits, power tariff discounts, among others. These responsibilities are fully covered by a provision. Benefits included in each Plan for Portugal and Brazil are detailed in EDP’s Collective Labor Agreement, published in the Labor Bulletin of 8 October 2014 and in the website of the Plan management entity Enerprev (www.enerprev.com.br), respectively. N) Provisions Provisions are recognised when: (i) the Group has a present legal, contractual or constructive obligation; (ii) it is probable that settlement will be required in the future; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions for dismantling and decommissioning in electric power plants The Group accounts for provisions for dismantling and decommissioning of assets at the end of the assets’ useful life when there is a legal, contractual or constructive obligation. Therefore, such provisions have been booked for the electric power plants to cover the cost of restoring the location and land to their original condition. The provisions are calculated at the present amount of the expected future liability and are accounted for as part of the cost of the related property, plant and equipment being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of those assets. Decommissioning and dismantling provisions are remeasured on an annual basis based on the best estimate of the settlement amount. The unwinding of the discount at each reporting date is charged to the income statement. O) Recognition of revenue from contracts with customers EDP Group recognises revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods or services, as provided in the 5 steps methodology introduced by IFRS 15, namely: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and (v) recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue in EDP Group arises from Sales ans services of Energy and accesses, Revenue from assets assigned to concessions and Other. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 627| | | | | | Energy and accesses Revenue in EDP Group arises essentially from electricity generation, distribution and transmission of electricity and supply of energy (electricity and gas). Additionally, it should be noted that, in energy distribution and supply activities, there is a tariff adjustment mechanism through which gains or losses of a certain year are recognised in the period to which they relate and recovered in the future year’s tariffs – Tariff Adjustments (see w)). Revenue related to the sale of energy and access tariffs to energy distribution network is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after elimination of intra-group sales, being recognised at a point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the energy. The energy distribution is a regulated activity, which is remunerated through tariffs set by each country Regulatory Body (Entidade Reguladora dos Serviços Energéticos (ERSE) in Portugal, Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE) in Spain and Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL) in Brazil). In Portugal and Spain, revenue arises mainly from the sale of access tariffs, as well as from the recovery, from the commercialisation entities, of the costs related to the global management activity of the system. In Brazil, revenue results from the electricity sales to final consumers, in the regulated market, based on the tariffs determined by ANEEL, which are included the use of the distribution and transport system tariff, among other components. The energy supply is carried out in regulated and non-regulated markets. In non-regulated market, revenue is recognised based on commercial agreements. In regulated market, revenue is recognised according to the tariffs determined by each country Regulatory Body. Revenue recognition includes two components: (i) energy sales already invoiced, based on actual consumption readings and/or in estimated consumption based on the historical data of each consumer; and (ii) estimates of energy supplied and not yet invoiced (energy into energy meter). Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recorded in subsequent periods. For pluriannual contracts with customers for energy sales including a termination clause determined based on the estimated consumption and contractual set prices, revenue is recognised based on the "Input Method". Under this method, revenue is recognised according to the percentage of the contract execution and the corresponding contractual margin. The margin is reviewed annually, on a contract-by-contract basis, based on the updating of estimated energy supply volumes until the end of the contract. EDP Group also sells products and services as a part of an integrated commercial offer ("bundled"). In a bundled sale arrangement, the Group accounts the sale of each product and/or service separately if they are distinct, that is, if the product or service is separately identifiable in the context of the integrated offer and the customer benefits from it. The consideration paid is allocated between the goods or services separately identifiable based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling price is determined based on EDP Group price lists on goods or services sold separately or, if they are not listed, based on the market valuation approach. EDP Group recognises the revenue related with services rendered over time given that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. In what concerns variable transaction prices, EDP Group only recognises revenue when it is highly probable that there will not be any significant reversal of the recognised revenue, when it becomes certain. EDP Group considers the facts and circumstances when analysing the terms of each contract with customers, applying the requirements that determine the recognition and measurement of revenue in a harmonized manner, when considering contracts with the same characteristics and in similar circumstances. Revenue from assets assigned to concessions In Portugal and Brazil, the distribution and transmission activities are subject to public service concession arrangements, as detailed in z). Contract asset and liabilities EDP Group presents a contract asset if the Group has a right to consideration that is conditional on something other than the passage of time. This is common when the Group has transferred goods or services to a customer usually before invoicing and the payment is due, excluding any amounts presented as a Trade receivables (unconditional rights to consideration). EDP Group presents a contract liability if the Group has an obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract EDP Group establishes certain contracts with third parties for the promotion (sale) of energy and related services. These third parties act as sales agents and are paid through sales commissions. The Group recognises incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers as an asset if the entity expects to recover these costs over the respective contracts. The costs incurred by an entity to obtain a contract with a customer are considered as incremental costs whenever it is clear that the entity would not incur these costs if the contract had not been obtained (for example, a sales commission). | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 628| | | | | | Therefore, EDP Group understands that the incremental costs to obtain a contract are eligible for capitalisation, accounting for a contract asset under the caption Debtors and other assets of commercial activities - Non-current. This asset shall be recognised in the income statement as amortisation, on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. Considering the analysis carried out on the set of goods and services provided by the EDP Group to which these commissions relate, the useful life allocated to them varies between 6 and 8 years. P) Financial results Financial results include interest costs on borrowings; interest income on funds invested; the financial expenses (unwinding) related to the discount of the employee benefits liabilities, provisions, institutional partnership in North America and lease liabilities; dividend income; foreign exchange gains and losses; realised gains and losses; changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments related to financing activity classified by the Group, within IFRS 9, as held for trading and consequently measured at fair value through profit or loss; and changes in the fair value of hedged risks, when applicable. Interest is recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recognised on the date the right to receive is established. Q) Income tax Income tax recognised in the income statement includes current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is also recognised in equity. Deferred taxes arising from the revaluation of assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and cash flow hedge derivatives recognised in equity are recognised in the income statement in the period the results that originated the deferred taxes are recognised. Current tax is the tax expected to be paid on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred taxes are calculated in accordance with the reporting liability method, considering temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax basis, using the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date for each jurisdiction and that are expected to be applied when the temporary differences are reversed. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; differences arising on initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, to the extent that these will probably not be reversed in the future. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to absorb deductible temporary differences for taxation purposes. The EDP Group proceeds with the breakdown of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related with: i) assets under right of use and lease liabilities; and ii) provisions for dismantling and decommissioning and corresponding tangible fixed assets; where and whenever these amounts are not deductible until the payment date. The compensation between deferred tax assets and liabilities is performed at each subsidiary, and therefore the consolidated financial statements reflect in its assets the total of the deferred tax of subsidiaries that have deferred tax assets and in its liabilities the total of the deferred tax of subsidiaries that have deferred tax liabilities. The Group offsets the deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if: i)the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in future periods in which deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. When accounting for interest and penalties related to income taxes, EDP Group considers whether a particular amount payable or receivable is, in its nature, a taxable income and, if so, applies IAS 12 to this amount. Otherwise, IAS 37 is applied. Regarding the IFRIC 23 related to IAS 12 – Income tax, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, EDP Group measures its current or deferred tax asset or liability applying the requirements in IAS 12. Additionally, the Group analyses all the pending litigations or disputes with tax authorities regarding income tax and records the best estimation related to contingencies and litigations whenever necessary. R) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated and the company net profit attributable to the equity holders of EDP, S.A. by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares held by the Group and by EDP, S.A., respectively. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted to consider conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible debt and stock | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 629| | | | | | options granted to employees. The dilution effect corresponds to a decrease in earnings per share resulting from the assumption that the convertible instruments are converted or the options granted are exercised. S) Share based payments Stock options remuneration programs enable the Group's employees to acquire parent company shares. The exercise price of the options is calculated based on the listed price of the shares at the grant date. The fair value of the options granted, determined at the grant date, is recognised in the income statement against equity during the vesting period, based on their market value calculated at the grant date. In case the option is exercised, the Group acquires shares in the market to grant them to employees. T) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets or groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets and related liabilities that include at least one non-current asset) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amounts will be recovered mainly through sale, the assets or groups of assets are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. Prior to their classification as held for sale, the measurement of all non-current assets and all assets and liabilities included in a disposal group, is adjusted in accordance with the applicable IFRS standards. Subsequently, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lowest between their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. U) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include balances with maturity of less than three months from the contract date, including cash and deposits in banks. This caption also includes other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and specific demand deposits in relation to institutional partnerships that are funds required to be held in escrow sufficient to pay the remaining construction related costs of projects in institutional equity partnerships in the next twelve months. On a company basis, EDP S.A. classifies as Cash and cash equivalents the current account balances with Group companies formalized through Cash Pooling Agreements (Group's financial system). V) Operating segmental The Group presents the operating segments based on internal management information (see note 51). W) Tariff adjustments Classification and measurement of regulatory assets, which qualify as financial assets in EDP Group’s financial statements, is analysed based on the business model used in the management of the assets and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows (see e)). In this sense, deviations and tariff deficits exclusively recovered or returned through electricity and gas tariffs, applicable to customers in subsequent periods, are recognised at amortised cost. On the other hand, deviations or deficits that can be recovered, either through electricity rates (receipt of capital and interest) or through sales with recourse to third parties (bilateral contracts or securitization operations) are recognised at fair value through comprehensive income. This classification results from the existing history of sales to third parties and from the management's perspective regarding the existing assets. The sale to third parties results from the Decree-Law 15/2022 of 14 January, which allows regulated companies in Portugal to transfer, in whole or in part, the right to receive tariff deviations or deficits through electricity tariffs. In regulated activities, the regulator establishes, through the tariff adjustment mechanism, the criteria to recognise gains or losses of one period in future periods. The tariff adjustments and deficits accounted for in the EDP Group financial statements represent the difference between the amounts invoiced by the regulated companies (based on the applicable tariffs published by the respective Regulator) and the regulated revenue calculated based on actual costs. The assets or liabilities resulting from the tariff adjustments and deficits are recovered or returned through the electricity and gas tariffs charged to customers in subsequent periods. Following the existing regulatory legislation, the regulated operators of the electric and gas sectors have the unconditional right to recover the tariff adjustments and deficits, therefore EDP Group recognizes under the income statement caption Revenues from energy sales and services and other – Energy and access, the effects resulting from the recognition of tariff adjustments and deficits, against the captions Debtors and other assets from commercial activities and Trade payables and other liabilities from commercial activities. X) CO2 Licenses and greenhouse gas emissions The Group holds CO2 Licenses in order to deal with gas emissions resulting from its operational activity and Licenses for trading. The CO2 and gas emissions Licenses held for its own use are booked as intangible | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 630| | | | | | assets at the acquisition cost. CO2 licenses consumption is recorded in accordance with the weighted average price of the CO2 and gas emissions Licenses held for consumption in that year. The Licenses held by the Group for trading purposes are booked under Inventories (see L)). Y) Statement of Cash Flow The Statement of Cash Flow is presented under the indirect method, by which gross cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities are disclosed. The Group classifies cash flows related to interest and dividends paid as financing activities and interest and dividends received as investing activities. Z) Group concession activities in the scope of IFRIC 12 EDP Group applies IFRIC 12 to the public-private concession contracts in which the public entity controls or regulates the services rendered through the utilisation of certain infrastructure as well as the price for such services and also controls any significant residual interest in the infrastructure. The infrastructures allocated to concessions are not recognised by the operator as property, plant and equipment or as financial leases, as the operator does not control the assets. These infrastructures are recognised according to one of the following accounting models, depending on the type of remuneration commitment of the operator assumed by the grantor within the terms of the contract: Financial Asset Model This model is applicable when the operator has an unconditional right to receive certain monetary amounts regardless of the level of use of the infrastructure within the concession and results in a financial asset recognition, booked at amortised cost. Intangible Asset Model This model is applicable when the operator, within the concession, is remunerated on the basis of the level of use of the infrastructure (demand risk) and results in an intangible asset recognition. Mixed Model This model is applicable when the concession includes simultaneously guaranteed remuneration and remuneration based on the level of use of the infrastructure within the concession. Intangible assets within concessions are amortised over their respective useful lives during the concession period. The Group carries out impairment tests to the intangible assets within concessions whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, being any impairment recognised in the income statement. Grants received from customers related to assets within concessions are delivered to the Group on a definitive basis, and, therefore, are not reimbursable. These grants are deducted from the value of the assets allocated to each concession. The concession contracts that currently exist in EDP Group are mainly based in the Intangible Asset Model, namely in the electricity special regime production concessions (PRE) in Portugal and in the Mixed Model, namely in the electricity distribution concessions in Portugal and in Brazil. AA) Institutional partnerships in North America The Group has entered in several partnerships with institutional investors in North America (EDPR NA), through operating agreements with limited liability companies that apportion the cash flows generated by the wind farms between the investors and the Group and allocates the tax benefits, which include Production Tax Credits (PTCs), Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and accelerated depreciation, largely to the investor. The institutional investors purchase their minority partnership interests for an upfront cash payment with an agreed targeted internal rate of return over the period that the tax credits are generated. This anticipated return is computed based on the total anticipated benefit that the institutional investors will receive and includes the value of PTC’s / ITC's, allocated taxable income or loss and cash distributions received. The control and management of these wind farms are a responsibility of EDP Group and they are fully consolidated in these financial statements. The financial instruments held by the institutional investors issued by the partnerships represent compound financial instruments as they contain characteristics of both financial liabilities and equity. The Group has determined that at the funding dates, the fair values of the original proceeds is equal to the fair values of the liabilities at that time and no value was assigned to the equity component. Subsequently, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost. This liability is reduced by the value of tax benefits provided and cash distributions made to the institutional investors during the contracted period. The value of the tax benefits delivered, primarily accelerated depreciation and ITC are recognised as Income from institutional partnerships on a pro-rata basis over the 30-35 year useful life of the assets and over the 5-year recapture period, respectively. The value of the PTC's delivered are recorded as generated. This liability is increased by an interest accrual that is based on the outstanding liability balance and the targeted internal rate of return agreed. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 631| | | | | | After the Flip Date, the institutional investor retains a non-significant interest for the duration of the structure. This non-controlling interest is entitled to distributions ranging from 2.5% to 10% and taxable income allocations ranging from 5% to 10%. EDPR NA has an option to purchase the institutional investor’s residual interest at fair market value during a defined period following the Flip Date. Such fair value is calculated according to the future cashflows of the wind or solar projects or by an external party. Post flip non- controlling interests is the portion of equity that is ascribed to the institutional investor in the institutional equity partnership at flip date. This amount is reclassified from the total equity attributable to the Parent to non-controlling interests caption in the period in which the Flip Date takes place. AB) Disposal of assets under Asset Rotation strategy The Asset Rotation strategy allows EDP Group to crystallize the value of a project by selling with loss of control, and reinvesting the proceeds in another projects, targeting greater growth. Typically, the developer retain the role of O&M supplier. The gains on disposals under this strategy are recognised in the caption Other income. 3. Recent accounting standards and interpretations issued Standards, amendments and interpretations issued effective for the Group The amendments to standards already issued and effective on 1 January 2024 that the Group applied in the preparation of its financial statements are the following: • IAS 1 (Amended) - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current; • IAS 1 (Amended) - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants; • IFRS 16 (Amended) - Lease liability in a sale and leaseback; and • IAS 7 (Amended) and IFRS 7 (Amended) - Supplier Finance Arrangements. Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Group The standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Group (whose effective application date has not yet occurred or, despite their effective dates of application, they have not yet been endorsed by the EU) are the following: • IAS 21 (Amended) - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability; • IFRS 9 (Amended) and IFRS 7 (Amended) - Classification and measurement of financial instruments; • IFRS 9 (Amended) and IFRS 7 (Amended) - Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity; • IFRS 18 - Presentation and disclosure in financial statements; • IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosures; and • Annual Improvements (Volume 11). 4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements in preparing the financial statements IFRS requires the use of judgement and the making of estimates in the decision process regarding certain accounting treatments, with impact in total assets, liabilities, equity, costs and income. The actual effects may differ from these estimates and judgements, namely in relation to the effect of actual costs and income. The main accounting estimates and judgements used in applying the accounting policies are discussed in this note in order to improve the understanding of how its application affects the Group’s reported results and disclosures. A broader description of the accounting policies employed by the Group is disclosed in note 2 - Accounting policies. Considering that in many cases there are alternatives to the accounting treatment adopted by EDP Group, the reported results could differ if a different treatment was chosen. The Executive Board of Directors believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present fairly the Group operations in all material respects. Financial asset related with infrastructure concession contracts in Portugal The caption “Amounts receivable from concessions - IFRIC 12”, refers to the financial assets receivable by EDP Group companies that operate infrastructures under concession contracts, and arises from the unconditional right to receive this amount regardless of the utilisation level of the infrastructures covered by the concession. In these companies is included E-Redes – Distribuição de Eletricidade, S.A. as the National Distribution Network (RND) concessionaire, which comprises the medium and high voltage network (MV and HV), and low voltage distribution networks (LV), being these concessions exercised exclusively through public service concession contracts. The RND’s operation, which is part of the HV and MV, is carried out through a public service concessions’ attribution, by the Portuguese State. On the other hand, the right to distribute low voltage electricity is | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 632| | | | | | attributed to the Portuguese mainland municipalities. The legislation that establishes the basis of each concession sets up that the ownership or possession of the goods assigned to these concessions revert to the concessionaires at the end of their respective concessions. They also establish that in return for the assets returned to grantors, whether State or municipalities, compensation corresponding to the assets’ book value assigned to the concession, net of amortisations, financial contributions and non-refundable subsidies will be paid. Therefore, the assets’ estimated residual value at the end of each concession constitutes a financial asset, and the remaining fair value component of the concession assets is an intangible asset to be amortised over its useful life. Hence, the end date of each concession is one of the main assumptions to determine the amount of the financial and intangible assets. In May 2017 Law 31/2017 was approved, which lays down the principles and general rules concerning the organisation of public tendering procedures for the awarding, by contract, of the municipal LV concessions’ operation in the Portuguese mainland. This Law foresee the simultaneous launch, in 2019, of public tender procedures for all municipalities that do not opt for direct management of the electricity distribution activity. Meanwhile, the Decree-Law 15/2022, of 14 January 2022, determined the automatic extension, without the need for further terms, of the current concession contracts for electricity distribution networks in LV, including those that had already reached their term, until the effective entry into operation of a new contractor, following the tenders for the attribution of LV concessions that will be held in the future. Decree 397/2023, of 28 November 2023, defined the standard pieces of the public tender procedure for the allocation of low-voltage electricity distribution concessions, namely the procedure program, the standard terms of reference, and the standard concession contract. The initiative to initiate the tender processes is transferred to the municipalities, and there is no date provided in the legislation for their execution or additional involvement by the Government. The Government issued a statement on 29 November 2023, indicating that in April 2023, the National Association of Portuguese Municipalities expressed a preference for a territorial area covering the entire mainland territory, "having this option been integrated into the procedure", according with the aforementioned statement. Resolution of the Council of Ministers 27/2024, of 23 February, outlined the main procedural aspects, as well as the schedule for the preparation and launch of tenders for the allocation of municipal concessions for the distribution of electricity in LV, as follows: a) by 31 July 2024, ERSE will send the documentation of the LV distribution network assets, including public lighting, to the municipalities and intermunicipal entities with delegated competencies in the matter; b) by 31 October 2024, the municipalities and intermunicipal entities with delegated competencies in the matter must reach an agreement on the formation of the group of contracting entities, or, if they choose not to join the said group, demonstrate the advantages of this scenario for the public interest; c) by 31 March 2025, the entities that are part of the group of contracting entities must make all necessary decisions to initiate the public procurement procedure; d) by 30 June 2025, the public tender procedure should be launched. However, on 2 September 2024, through Resolution of the Council of Ministers 122/2024, the previously defined schedule in Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 27/2024 were revoked, and a Coordination Committee for Low Voltage was established, which must present, by 15 December 2024, a new proposal for the schedule and guidelines for the competitive procedure for the allocation of municipal concessions. Council of Ministers Resolution 30/2025, of 13 February and published on 20 February 2025, extended until 15 December 2025 the deadline for submitting the proposal of the Low Voltage Coordination Commission (CCBT), for the granting of municipal concessions for the exercise of the activity of operating low voltage electricity distribution networks. According to the Council of Ministers' Communiqué of 13 February 2025, a Resolution of the Council of Ministers was approved, extending, until 15 December 2025, the deadline for the submission of the proposal by the Coordination Commission for Low Voltage (CCBT), for the allocation of municipal concessions intended for the exercise of the activity of operating low voltage electricity distribution networks. In this context, at this date it is not yet possible to predict the end date of the low voltage concession contracts currently in force, so an annual extension of contracts that have already reached the originally planned end date is assumed. Thus, with reference to 31 December 2024, the financial asset and the intangible asset related to the concessions whose contracts have not yet ended were determined based on the respective expiry dates and, for the remaining concessions, the financial asset and the intangible asset are determined assuming the validity of the contracts until 31 December of the year following the year in question. Measurement criteria of the concession financial receivables under IFRIC 12 in Brazil In 2012, the Provisional Measure 579/12 was published in Brazil, meanwhile converted into Law 12.783/13, which determines that the amount of the indemnisation payable to the distribution companies regarding the assets not amortised or depreciated at the end of each concession, should be determined based in the methodology of the Value of Replacement as New (VNR). The indemnisation amount variation is booked against Revenues from energy sales and services and other. This amount corresponds to the difference between the residual value determined based on the value of replacement as new and the residual value determined based on the historical cost. ANEEL reviews the VNR, through the valuation report of the Regulatory Remuneration Base, every three years for EDP Espírito Santo and every four years for EDP São Paulo, as established in the concession contracts. Within these periods the distribution companies use their best estimate for the VNR. The use of different | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 633| | | | | | assumptions could result in different values of financial assets, with the consequent impact in the Statement of Financial Position (see note 27).Impairment of long term assets and Goodwill Impairment tests are performed whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment, right of use assets, intangible assets and investments in joint ventures and associates is less than the corresponding net book value of the assets. On an annual basis, the Group reviews the assumptions used to assess the existence of impairment in goodwill resulting from acquisitions of shares in subsidiaries. The assumptions used are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic indicators and business assumptions used by management. The investments in subsidiaries, on a company basis, and in associates are reviewed when circumstances indicate the existence of impairment. Considering the uncertainties regarding the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill as they are based on the best information available, changes in the assumptions could result in changes on the determination of the amount of impairment and, consequently, in results (see notes 12 and 20). Classification and measurement of financial instruments Financial instruments’ classification as debt or equity requires judgement in the interpretation of contractual clauses and in the evaluation of the existence of a contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial assets. Fair values are based on listed market prices, if available. Otherwise, fair value is determined either by the price of similar recent transactions under market conditions, or determined by external entities, or based on valuation methodologies, supported by discounting future cash flows techniques, considering market conditions, time value, yield curves and volatility factors. These methodologies may require the use of assumptions or judgements in determining fair values. Consequently, the use of different methodologies and different assumptions or judgements in applying a particular model, could generate different financial results from those reported. Review of the useful life of the assets The Group reviews annually the reasonability of the useful lives attributed to the assets, that are the base to the corresponding depreciation rates. When applicable, the Group changes, prospectively, the asset's useful life and, subsequently, the depreciation rates of the period based on such review. Useful lives of generation assets - Hydro independent generator in Brazil The hydro generation assets in Brazil for independent generators are amortised during their estimated useful lives, considering the existing facts and circumstances at the date of preparation of the financial statements. This includes, among other issues, EDP's best expectations of the useful lives of such assets, which are consistent with the useful lives defined by ANEEL, the respective contractual residual indemnification values at the end of each concession period, as well as related technical and legal opinions. The remaining period of amortisation and the indemnification values at the end of the concessions may be influenced by changes in the regulatory legal framework in Brazil (see note 17). Lease contracts The Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; ii) it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and iii) it has the right to direct the use of the asset. EDP Group uses judgement on its assessment, namely concerning the termination and extension contract options and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate to be applied for each portfolio of leases identified (see notes 18 and 40). Tariff adjustments Portugal Tariff adjustments in Portugal represent the difference between costs and income of the National Electricity, estimated at the beginning of each period for purposes of calculating the tariff, and the actual costs and income of the System established at the end of each period. The tariff adjustments assets or liabilities are recovered or returned through electricity and gas tariffs to customers in subsequent periods. Decree-Law 15/2022 of 14 January, recognised an unconditional right of the operators of the electricity sector to recover the tariff adjustments and related interest expenses, notwithstanding the form of the future payment or situations of insolvency and cessation of operations. Additionally, the legislation allows the transfer to third parties of the right to receive tariff adjustments. Therefore, under this legislation, regulated companies may provide to third parties, in whole or in part, the right to receive the tariff adjustments through the electricity tariffs. In accordance with the accounting policy in force, the EDP Group books under the caption Revenues from energy sales and services and other - Electricity and network access, the effects of | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 634| | | | | | the recognition of tariff adjustments in the electricity sector, against Debtors and other assets from commercial activities and Trade payables and other liabilities from commercial activities. Brazil On 25 November 2014, ANEEL made addendums to the concession contracts with electric distribution companies to reduce significant uncertainties regarding to the recognition and realization of regulatory assets/liabilities that existed since 2010, when the IFRS were adopted in Brazil. As a consequence, the CPC ("Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis") issued on 28 November 2014, the OCPC 08 (Recognition of Certain Assets and Liabilities in Accounting and Financial Reports of Electric Distribution) which determines how to treat these regulatory assets/liabilities in the financial statements. Therefore, on 10 December 2014, EDP Brasil signed the Fourth and Fifth Addendum to the Concession Agreement, where it was established that, in the case of concession termination, the outstanding balances of any failure of payment or reimbursement by the tariff (assets and liabilities), will be considered on the indemnity calculation, based on the regulator pre-established regulations. EDP Group considers, based on the issued legislation (Portugal and Brazil), that the requirements for the recognition of tariff deficits as receivables and payables against the income statement of the period have been satisfied (see notes 7, 27 and 39). Revenue recognition Energy sales revenue is recognised when the monthly energy invoices are issued, based on actual meter readings or estimated consumption based on the historical data of each consumer. Revenue relating to energy to be invoiced, regarding consumption up to the reporting date but not measured, is booked based on estimates that take into consideration factors such as consumption in prior periods and analysis relating to the energy balance of the operations. The use of different estimates and assumptions could affect the Group’s revenue and, consequently, its reported results (see note 7). Income taxes The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. Certain interpretations and assumptions are required in determining the global amount of income tax. There are several transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Different interpretations and assumptions could result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the period (see note 15). The Group evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on estimations of future taxable income in the period in which such deferred taxes are deductible. Pensions and other employee benefits Determining pension and other employee benefits liabilities requires the use of assumptions, including actuarial projections, estimated rates of return on investments, discount rates and pension and salary growth and other factors that can impact the cost and liability of pension plans, medical plans and other benefits. Changes in the assumptions could materially affect the amounts determined (see note 36). Dismantling and decommissioning provisions The Board of Directors considers that Group has legal, contractual or constructive obligations to dismantle and decommission property, plant and equipment assets allocated to electricity generation operations. The Group records provisions in accordance with existing obligations to cover the present value of the estimated cost to restore sites and land where the electricity generation units are located. EDP Group provisions include the calculation of the present value of the expected future liabilities. The use of different assumptions and judgement from those referred could lead to different financial results and depreciations than those considered (see note 37). Entities included in the consolidation perimeter In order to determine which entities must be included in the consolidation perimeter, EDP Group evaluates whether it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee ("de facto" control). This evaluation requires the use of judgement and assumptions. Other assumptions and judgements could lead to a different consolidation perimeter of the Group, with direct impact on the consolidated financial statements (see note 6). | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 635| | | | | | Business combination Under IFRS 3 (Business Combination) in a business combination, the acquirer shall recognise and measure in the consolidated financial statements the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value at the acquisition date. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired leads to the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a purchase at a low price (bargain purchase). The fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is carried out internally or by independent external evaluators, using the discounted cash flows method, using the replacement cost or other fair value determination techniques, which rely on the use of assumptions including macroeconomic indicators such as inflation rates, interest rates, exchange rates, discount rates, sale and purchase prices of energy, cost of raw materials, production estimates and business projections. The determination of the fair value and, consequently, of goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase is subject to numerous assumptions and judgments and therefore changes could result in different impacts on results. Fair value measurement of contingent consideration Contingent consideration from a business combination or a sale of a financial investment is measured at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the business combination or at the date of the sale. This contingent consideration is subsequently remeasured at fair value at each report date. Fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The main assumptions correspond to the best estimates of management at each report date and consider the probability of achieving each objective and the discount factor. Changes in assumptions could have significant impact on the values of contingent assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements (see notes 28 and 40). Acquisition of assets out of the scope of IFRS 3 In order to assess whether an acquisition of an asset or a group of assets is a business, the Group identifies the elements in the acquired entity (inputs, processes and outputs), assesses the capability to create outputs and, finally, assesses the capability of market participants to continuing to create outputs. The Group concludes that IFRS 3 is not applicable when there are no outputs at the acquisition date due to an early-stage of development, and the acquired process(es) cannot be considered substantive. Thus, the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets that does not fulfill the conditions to be considered a business is classified as an acquisition of a company out of scope of IFRS 3. Contractual stability compensation - CMEC The approval in 2004 of the Decree-Law 240/2004, of 27 December, determined the early Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) extinction, and the adoption of a contractual stability compensation (CMEC), which EDP Produção entered into after signing the Contractual stability on 27 January 2005, approved by the competent Government member (Order 4672/2005, of 4 March). This mechanism includes three types of compensation: initial compensation, annual adjustment (or revisibility) and final adjustment. The last two types of compensation are relevant for this purpose. i. Contractual stability compensation - Annual revisibility mechanism During period I (2007/2017) of the contractual stability compensation mechanism, there was a correction on an annual basis, resulting from positive or negative deviations between the estimates made for the initial stability compensation calculation and actual amounts arising from an efficient performance, using the "Valorágua" model, as established in the Decree-Law 240/2004. In 2014, Dispatch 4694/2014 of 1 April 2014, amended the procedures to be followed in the calculation of the annual revisibility regarding the consideration of revenues obtained in the system services market (secondary regulation band) by the power plants covered by the CMEC mechanism. Revisibility amounts for the years 2007 to 2014 were determined and approved by the Member of the Government responsible for the energy sector, and were contested by EDP Produção: • As regards the approval of the 2011 and 2012 revisibilities, the fact that it did not consider the costs incurred with the social tariff in the calculation of the revisibilities; and • As regards the approval of the 2014 revisibility, the fact that it did not take into account in the calculation of the revisibility the costs incurred with the social tariff and CESE. Regarding the revisibility to the years 2011 and 2012, the Administrative Court dismissed, in different occasions, the special administrative actions brought by EDP Produção, not recognizing these costs with the financing of the Social Tariff for the determination of the amount of the annual adjustment of CMEC relating to 2011 and 2012. EDP Produção, not agreeing with these decisions, filed an Appeal for both years. The annual revisibility related to 2015, it was approved by the Government member responsible for the energy sector in 20 October 2020 in the amount of 62.7 million Euros, after deducting an amount of 72.9 million Euros related to the alleged overcompensation of CMEC, due to their participation in the ancillary services market, in the period between 2009 and the first quarter of 2014 (see section Ancillary Services). In this regard, the EDP Group recorded a provision in the amount of 72.9 million Euros, having filled a challenge to the order for ratifying the annual revisibility for the year 2015 on 19 January 2021, as it did not agree with the assumption of overcompensation within the scope of its performance in the system services market, | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 636| | | | | | between 2009 and 2014 and, consequently, do not agree with the deduction of the underlying value (72.9 million Euros) in that revisibility. It should also be noted that EDP Produção has already contested the imposition of a fine by the Competition Authority on matters of the same scope. The challenge also covered the non- consideration of the Social Tariff and CESE amounts paid by the centrals operating under the CMEC regime and also the non-approval of the annual revisibilities from 2016 to 2017, which still await the respective approval by the Government member responsible for the area of energy. ii. Contractual stability compensation - Final Adjustment The CMEC’s Final Adjustment is calculated in accordance with number 7 of article 3rd and Annex IV of Decree-Law 240/2004. The State budget for 2017 (Law 42/2016 of 28 December) determined, in its article 170, that the final adjustment amount is determined and based on a study prepared and presented by ERSE. This entity had the technical support of EDP Produção and REN (Work Team), legally enforced. Accordingly, the technical group EDP/REN has presented to ERSE its report on the CMEC final adjustment calculation, which was achieved by strictly following the calculation methodology described in Decree-Law 240/2004. This calculation, performed by the technical group EDP/REN was presented to ERSE and comes to a range of amounts between 256.5 and 271 million Euros. At the end of September 2017, ERSE has also presented to the Government a report on the calculation of the CMEC final adjustment, reaching an amount of 154 million Euros, which was provisionally considered in the document of Tariffs and Prices for 2018. In the Financial statements as at 31 December 2017, EDP Group has included its best estimate of the CMEC final adjustment, by recognising an asset in the amount of 256.5 million Euros against deferred income, based on the methodology established for this purpose in Decrew-Law 240/2004, of 27 December, and in the legal opinions obtained in the meantime on this understanding. On 3 May 2018, EDP was notified (through a DGEG’s letter from 25 April 2018) that the CMEC final adjustment had been officially approved, according to ERSE’s proposal, in the amount of 154 million Euros. Considering that the administrative act contained in the Dispatch of approval of the SSE of 25 April 2018 lacks technical, economic and legal basis, and that, in particular, it does not apply the calculation methodology contained in Decree-Law 240/2004, which would lead to the determination of an amount close to the one determined by the technical group, on 3 September 2018, EDP Produção has legally contested it. EDP reflected this reality in its financial statements as of 31 December 2018, recognising a provision by the difference in the final adjustment amounts already recognised in the Group's profits. "Clawback" - Portuguese regulatory mechanism to ensure the competitive balance in the wholesale electricity market, particularly in Iberian market On 25 January 2024, Order 976/2024 established the final compensation for the "Clawback" for the year 2021, based on scenario A of ERSE's study from April 2022. This scenario considers the ISP regime as the only internal off-market event within the SEN, defining a value of 7.10€/MWh for hydro, wind, and solar plants in the market, and a zero value for CCGTs, as they did not exceed the exemption threshold of 2,000 hours of installed capacity utilization. However, this value does not consider all internal off-market events (CESE, Social Tariff, and G-Charge) and is not aligned with the advance payments applied in 2021, as per Order 6740/2020, which set a zero value for power plants that support the Social Tariff and CESE. The cost for the EDP Group, associated with the publication of Order 976/2024, was provisionally recorded in 2021 and adjusted in the 2022 accounts. In April 2024, EDP Produção contested Order 976/2024. With the gradual reinstatement of the energy generation tax in Spain (3.5% in the 1st quarter, 5.25% in the 2nd quarter, and the original value of 7% in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2024), this competitive balance mechanism came back into effect in 2024. Thus, on 21 March, Order 3034/2024 was published, establishing the advance payment value to be applied in 2024 to electricity producers covered by the competitive balance mechanism, regardless of the technology used in electricity production, with the following values: 2.16€/MWh (1st quarter of 2024); 3.24€/MWh (2nd quarter of 2024); 4.31€/MWh (3rd and 4th quarters of 2024). On 29 January 2025, ERSE launched a public consultation on the methodological review for determining the impact of external off-market events on the formation of average electricity prices in the wholesale market in Portugal. The new methodology will already serve as the basis for ERSE's study on the final "Clawback" for the year 2024, to be conducted by the end of April 2025. Ancillary services - Secondary regulation band service On 3 September 2018 the Autoridade da Concorrência (AdC) adopted a Note of Illegality, under which it intended to attribute to EDP Produção a behaviour of abuse of a dominant position in the secondary regulation band service. AdC claimed that EDP Produção restricted the offer of a segment of the Electricity System (the secondary regulation band or teleregulation service) between January 2009 and December 2013, limiting the capacity offer of its plants under CMEC regime to benefit market power plants, in order to benefit twice, to the detriment of consumers. On 28 November 2018, EDP Produção exercised its right to be heard and to defend itself in relation to the wrongful act was imputed and the sanctions it could incur, that is, it responded to the Note of Illegality. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 637| | | | | | On 18 September 2019, AdC informed EDP Produção of its decision to condemn, imposing a fine of 48 million Euros, for alleged abuse of dominant position in the secondary regulation band market in mainland Portugal between January 2009 and December 2013. According to AdC, EDP Produção would have manipulated its offer of tele-regulation service or secondary regulation band, limiting the capacity offer of its CMEC power plants to offer it through its market power plants, allegedly benefiting in two ways: • Highest compensation paid to CMEC plants (annual revisability), as their lower participation in the provision of secondary regulation band service would be below what would be expected (according to competitive market criteria); and • The increase of the market price of the secondary bandwidth service, as a result of the limited supply by CMEC plants, favouring market- based power plants. On 30 October 2019, EDP Produção filed an appeal against this decision before the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court (TCRS), awaiting the AdC's counter-allegations. On 20 May 2020, EDP Produção was notified of an order from TCRS, which, among other things, admitted its Appeal of Judicial Contestation, establishing a purely return effect and determining the payment of the fine imposed within 20 days. In this context, EDP Produção submitted requests, invoking supervening facts to demonstrate the considerable damage associated with a putative payment of the fine, and arguing defects in the decision that determined the attribution of a merely devolutive effect to the Judicial Challenge Appeal. However, despite EDP Produção's well-founded convictions about the possibility of providing a bank guarantee or bond, instead of paying the fine, the TCRS ended up determining the payment of the fine, which occurred on 20 October 2021\. The trial started in September 2021 and on 10 August 2022, the TCRS confirmed the AdC's decision, maintaining the fine of 48 million Euros to EDP Produção for alleged abuse of dominant position. EDP Produção filed an appeal against the aforementioned decision to the Lisbon Court of Appeal (TRL) on 30 September 2022. By judgment rendered on 25 September 2023, TRL partially rejected the appeal filed by EDP Produção, confirming the sentence of TCRS that had convicted it, and also judged the appeal to be valid regarding the reduction of the fine amount. Consequently, TRL decided to reduce the fine imposed on EDP Produção from 48 million Euros to 40 million Euros. Given this decision, on 2 October 2023, EDP Produção filed a request with TRL to argue various issues in the ruling issued by the said court. On 9 October 2023, a request for an appeal to the Constitutional Court was filed, raising the unconstitutionality issues that had been raised by EDP Produção throughout the process and fulfilling the legal requirements necessary for the case to be sent to that jurisdiction. By judgment of 6 December 2023, the TRL dismissed the invalidities invoked by EDP Produção, and on 14 December 2023, EDP Produção submitted a request for clarification of part of the mentioned judgment. On 22 January 2024, the TRL deemed the request for correction of the judgment issued on 6 December 2023, as unfounded. On 5 February 2024, EDP Produção lodged an appeal to the Constitutional Court against the aforementioned TRL judgment that dismissed the request for clarification of part of the judgment of 6 December 2023. On 27 March 2024, the Constitutional Court ruled to dismiss the appeal filed in February 2024, and EDP Produção lodged a complaint against said decision with the Conference of Judges of the Constitutional Court on 11 April 2024. Following the dismissal of the aforementioned complaint, an appeal to the Constitutional Court was submitted on 23 May 2024. By decision of the Constitutional Court Conference on 11 July 2024, and notified on 15 July 2024, the complaint filed on 21 June 2024 was dismissed. On 25 July 2024, EDP Produção submitted a request. By order of 2 October 2024, the TRCS ordered the return to EDP Produção of the amount deposited as payment of the fine that exceeds the amount set by the TRL, plus the amount relating to probable costs, having been ordered on 17 January 2025 the transfer to EDP Produção the amount of 7,940,000 Euros, as well as that the Public Prosecutor's Office be opened to review and that the AdC be notified so that, if it wishes, it may pronounce itself on the request submitted by EDP Produção on 25 July 2024. On 14 November 2024, the TCRS issued an order on part of the request submitted by EDP Produção on 25 July 2024\. EDP Produção filed an appeal to the TRL on 3 December 2024, and a decision is pending. A decision from the TCRS is also pending on the other part of the request submitted by EDP Produção on 25 July 2024. The EDP Group still considers that EDP Produção did not abuse any dominant position, having acted strictly in accordance with the legal framework in force. In the context of this process, on 29 September 2021, EDP Produção was cited in a class action filed by Associação IUS Omnibus based on the alleged abuse of dominant position in the secondary regulation band market between the beginning of 2009 and the end of 2013, requesting, in representation of consumers allegedly harmed, a compensation in the amount of 94.8 million Euros, as estimated by AdC in the scope of process PRC/2016/05. EDP Produção has already presented its defense within the legal deadline established for that purpose. A ruling was issued in which the court decided, among other things, to suspend the proceedings until a final decision is made in the administrative offense case 309/19.0YUSTR. By ruling on 23 March 2023, adopted following an appeal filled by EDP Produção, TRL confirmed the decision to suspend the proceedings. EDP Produção filed a common appeal and, alternatively, an exceptional review appeal with the Supreme Court of Justice, and this court dismissed the appeals by ruling on 15 September 2023. In October 2024, an order was issued through which the Court officially requested that the administrative offense case file be sent and attached to this process, including a certified copy of the judgment rendered and the TRL ruling on it with a note of res judicata, as well as a certified copy of the decision on the request for the statute of limitations of the administrative offense proceedings with a note of res judicata. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 638| | | | | | Innovatives Features On 9 July 2018, EDP has been notified, within the scope of a stakeholder hearing promoted by the DGEG, to present its opinion on the possibility of DGEG proposing to the Secretary of State for Energy an amount associated with the alleged "innovative features" introduced in CMEC regime regarding PPA, to a maximum amount of 357.9 million Euros. According to DGEG, this amount shall be associated with the lack of legal scope for tests on the availability of the CMEC plants (285 million Euros) and the ancillary services, mentioned above (72.9 million Euros). On 26 September 2018, EDP Produção was notified of the Order of the SEE of 29 August, which considers as an "innovative features" the topic "procedures for calculating the verified availability coefficient", quantified at 285 million Euros. This Order refers to the alleged lack of legal forecast of availability tests of CMEC plants. Considering that the Order in question lacks technical, economic and legal basis, on 8 October 2018 EDP Produção has submitted an administrative appeal. Subsequently, EDP Produção received a letter from ERSE dated 12 November 2018 and became aware of the Order of the SEE of 4 October, which, following the Order of 29 August, declared the annulment of the annual adjustments in the part in which they considered the alleged "innovative features" concerning the procedures for calculating the coefficient of availability. In the Tariff and Price Document for 2019, ERSE considered the refund of an amount of 90 million Euros for a portion of the 285 million Euros referred to, expecting that the remaining portion will be paid for a number of years that allow the CMEC to have zero tariff impact by including the 86.5 million Euros in the tariffs of 2020, 86.5 million Euros in tariffs of 2021 and 21.9 million Euros in 2022. Without having received any response to the gracious complaint filed on 1 February 2019, EDP Produção challenged in court the Orders of 29 August and 4 October and the Tariff and Price Document for 2019. Although the EDP Group considers that there were no innovative features weighted in CMEC adjustments, this aspect was reflected in these financial statements as of 31 December 2018, by recognising a provision of 285 million Euros. In between 2019 and 2022, EDP made several payments, thus using the entire provision by 31 December 2022. Hydro power plants of Fridão and Alvito Following the Arbitral Decision issued in July 2022 in the arbitration process initiated by EDP Produção in January 2020, which required the Portuguese State to return to EDP Produção the amount of 217,798 thousand Euros, related to its exclusive right to operate the Fridão Hydroelectric Development during the concession period under the terms of the Implementation Contract of the National Program of High Hydroelectric Potential Dams, and which was confirmed by the Supreme Administrative Court's ruling on 7 December 2023, the Portuguese State, as per the out-of-court agreement reached between the parties, proceeded on March 20, 2024, to pay EDP Produção the said amount plus accrued interest. On 10 April 2024, the parties submitted a request to terminate, due to supervening uselessness of the dispute, the enforcement proceedings initiated in December 2022, and are awaiting a judicial order to determine the termination. Procedure for declaring "lesividad" The BOE 223/2017 published during the third quarter of 2017 opened the hearing process of the Order of the Minister of Energy, Tourism and Digital Agenda of 13 September, introducing "lesividad" declaration procedure for the public interest Order IET/980/2016, of 10 June, which established the remuneration of electricity distribution companies until 2016. Thus, the remuneration that has been determined has allegedly been higher than that due for the year 2016. Until the "lesividad" procedure is finitely resolved, the remuneration of the distribution activity for the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 is considered provisional. With reference to 31 December 2020, EDP España recorded an accumulated provision of 93,105 thousand Euros corresponding to the potential effect of "lesividad" for the financial years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Since 2016, EDP España, like other companies in the sector, have been in place with legal proceedings to resolve the “lesividad” procedure. At the same time, companies initiated processes to determine the real value of assets subject to remuneration and proceeded with the reformulation and deposit of their annual accounts from 2014 to 2020, ending this process during 2021. Although no new liquidation or a new regulation has been issued, the companies consider that, in accordance with the order 481/2020 of the Supreme Court, the reformulated and deposited annual accounts must be considered for the calculation of the remuneration. Thus, in 2021, EDP España updated the provision for the “lesividad” procedure for the years 2016 to 2020, reversing it by approximately 47 million Euros. On 1 June 2022, order TED/490/2022, of 31 May, was published in BOE 130/2022, which executes the judgment of the Federal Supreme Court in relation to the declaration of "lesividad" to the public interest of the Order IET/980/2016, of 10 June. The remuneration approved by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge in the referred Order did not take into account the accounts reformulated by the distribution companies, resulting in a notable decrease in their remuneration compared to the expected and accounted values corresponding to a correct execution of the sentence. Subsequently, the "Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia" (CNMC) settled the payment obligations arising from the "lesividad" referring to the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022 in the Provisional Agreement 5/2022 (partially corresponding to the year 2022) approved by the CNMC on 14 July | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 639| | | | | | 2022 and those corresponding to the 2021 financial year in the “2021 Definitive Settlement of regulated activities in the electricity sector”, approved by the CNMC on 4 November 2022. The distribution companies of the EDP Group filed lawsuits against order TED/490/2022 and against the final settlements of 2021 and 2022, in order to obtain the collection of amounts due from a correct execution of the judgment. During the year 2024, the legal proceedings opened against the Order TED/490/2022 by the EDP Group continued to evolve as expected. On 17 January 2024, a favorable decision was notified to Viesgo Distribución Eléctrica - which was issued on 21 December 2023, and its execution was requested on 13 June 2024 - and having been notified on 22 April 2024, of a favorable decision for Hidrocantábrico Distribución Eléctrica which was issued on 16 April 2024, becoming final on 28 May 2024.In November 2024, the State Secretariat for Energy of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge notified Hidrocantábrico Distribución Eléctrica and Viesgo Distribución of the Resolutions issued on 31 October 2024, which proceeded with the execution of the aforementioned Supreme Court rulings of 21 December 2023, and 16 April 2024. Subsequently, in December 2024, the CNMC, in application of these resolutions, through the settlement of regulated activities 10/2024, settled 12.2 million Euros in favor of Hidrocantábrico Distribución Eléctrica and 4.8 million Euros in favor of Viesgo Distribución Eléctrica, corresponding to their respective remunerations for the 2016 fiscal year. An impact is estimated for the fiscal years 2025 and onwards of 8.1 million Euros for Hidrocantábrico Distribución Eléctrica and 1.3 million Euros for Viesgo Distribución Eléctrica per fiscal year (in the period from 2016-2024, the aforementioned impact amounts to 81.2 million Euros and 15.9 million Euros, respectively). Sale of portfolio of Hydroelectric Projects The project for the sale of the portfolio of Hydroelectric Projects located in the Douro basin falls within the scope of EDP's strategic plan for 2019 2022, as presented to the market in March 2019 and reinforced with EDP's Strategic Plan for 2021-2025 presented in February 2021, in particular within the scope of the strategy of portfolio balancing and capital reallocation, as a way to finance new investments, particularly in renewable energy, including in Portugal. The transaction was concluded on 16 December 2020, through the sale of the entire share capital of the company Camirengia Hidroelétricos S.A. (“Camirengia”), by its sole shareholder, EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. ("EDP"), to the company Movhera - Hidroeléctricas do Norte, S.A. (previously known as Águas profundas, S.A., company incorporated in Portugal and therefore resident for tax purposes in Portugal, owned by the consortium formed by GDF International SAS, from ENGIE Group, by 40%, Mirova S.A. by 35% and Predica Prevoyance Dialogue du Credit Agricole, S.A. in 25%). The company Camirengia was incorporated under the simple demerger of EDP - Gestão da Produção de Energia, S.A. ("EDP Produção"), under which a complex set of items was carved-out from this company, comprising not only the titles of use of the hydric resources related to the portfolio mentioned above, but also by a multiplicity of assets, liabilities, resources and contractual positions associated and necessary for the development of the exploration activity. From a strictly operational, regulatory, technical and legal point of view, the demerger was the only viable and feasible option to proceed with the detachment of the portfolio, considering its size and complexity. In this sense, EDP followed the only model, the demerger and the subsequent sale of shares, that guaranteed the continuity of operations and the maintenance of all the commitments (including environmental nature and towards the municipalities) necessary for the portfolio normal operation and also to respond to the need of the buyer of acquiring a functional and autonomous company that would ensure the operation of all activity, without disruption, immediately after the sale - which was also required by the regulator. On the other hand, the contractual model used in the implementation of the transaction is fully in line with market standards. After its conclusion, the transaction was subject to media attention, based on the assumption that it constitutes a transfer of concessions and that, therefore, would be subject to Stamp Duty (under paragraph 27.2 of the Stamp Duty General Table). In EDP's view, that assumption is not at all applicable, and Stamp Duty is not due, as the transaction did not entail a transfer of concessions, but rather a demerger followed by the sale of the entire share capital of a company (Camirengia) holding the patrimonial assets assigned to the portfolio, operations that are not subject to Stamp Duty. In this context, on 16 March 2021, the President of the EDP Executive Board of Directors was requested to attend the Environment, Energy and Spatial Planning Commission of the Portuguese Parliament, in order to address the abovementioned transaction, where EDP had the opportunity to clarify all questions addressed by the Members present. In addition, on 1 April 2021, that Commission sent EDP a request for information and questions about the transaction. On 15 April, EDP, committed to contribute to the swift, full and definitive clarification of the questions that were presented, sent to the Portuguese Parliament answers to all the questions raised, and made available all the requested documentation, despite its private and confidential nature, as a testament to the collaborative, transparent and good faith attitude with which EDP has been guiding its relationship with the State and its institutions. In this spirit of collaboration, transparency and good faith in its relationship with the State and its institutions, EDP proactively contacted the Tax Authority, making itself available to clarify the tax aspects of the operation. On 6 July 2021, EDP became aware that DCIAP is investigating the sale of the Douro portfolio, with searches carried out at the premises of EDP and EDP Produção. During the diligence, and basing its action on a cooperative posture, all cooperation and assistance was provided to the authorities. EDP scrupulously fulfils all of its obligations, including tax obligations, adopting very strict practices in the technical framework of all issues, having made this transaction under the tax framework applicable, | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 640| | | | | | assessing the tax rules in force on the date of the transaction, a framework that was also subject to validation by Opinions requested from reputable tax experts Sharing of gains obtained from the assignment of the deferral of the cost differential of Guaranteed Remuneration Production in 2024 In the 2024 tariff exercise, ERSE decided to defer, for a period of 5 years, the recovery of the cost differential of guaranteed remuneration production (PRG) for the year 2024 and adjustments for the previous two years, amounting to more than two billion Euros. SU ELETRICIDADE, as the holder of this tariff credit and exercising the prerogative provided for in Article 209 of Decree-Law No. 15/2022, of 14 January proceeded to assign to third parties almost the entirety of that amount. In these circumstances, Ordinance No. 300/2023, of 4 October determined the sharing with the global system usage tariff (UGS) of half of the gains or losses resulting from the assignment of the tariff credit, calculated by the difference between the "net amount received by the company" and the "amount of deferred amounts that are outstanding at the date of the respective assignment." Thus, in the 2025 tariff decision, ERSE considered the transfer to the tariff system of 37.3 million Euros for the assignment of the 2024 deferral, corresponding to an estimated gain of 74.6 million Euros. In the understanding of SU ELETRICIDADE, ERSE's calculation does not comply with the provisions of Ordinance No. 300/2023, nor with the generally accepted premises for asset valuation, resulting in an overestimation of the gain from the assignment. Indeed, according to technical opinions from two independent entities of recognized merit and experience in financial calculation, the gain obtained from the assignment of the 2024 tariff deferral totals 39 million Euros, which would imply, under applicable legal terms, the sharing with the UGS tariff of 19.5 million Euros. In this context, SU ELETRICIDADE decided to challenge the document setting the tariffs and prices for electricity and other services in 2025 before the Administrative Court of the Lisbon District. Consequently, a provision of 17.8 million Euros was created in the 2024 accounts of SU ELETRICIDADE, corresponding to the difference between the amount considered by ERSE and that determined by the independent entities in their technical opinions. Divestment decision in wind farms in Colombia In 2019, EDPR decided to enter the Colombian market through two projects, Alpha and Beta, with a combined capacity of 0.5 GW, located in La Guajira region, a good location in terms of wind resources, and an expected generation of 2.5 TWh/year, which would make a decisive contribution to Colombia's energy diversification and transition national objectives. The two wind farm projects obtained environmental permits in August 2019. In the auction promoted in October 2019 by the government of Colombia, EDPR contracted PPAs for 1.7 TWh/year of renewable energy over a 15-year period starting in 2022, together with associated PPA liabilities and guarantees. Subsequently, EDPR contracted a substantial part of the capex, namely 90 Vestas V162-5.6MW turbines and BOP, to fulfil its obligations under the PPA. These correspond to a major part of the investment and responsibilities that EDPR still has today. During the restrictive lockdowns imposed by public authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21, the environmental permitting process for the required 81 kms interconnection line suffered significant delays. In mid-2021, to minimize the negative impact of the energy shortfall from the PPAs obligations, caused by lockdown-related delays, and to streamline the ongoing construction efforts, the turbines designated for the two projects were transported and stored in a port infrastructure in La Guajira. In late 2022, after a change in Government, substantial adjustments were requested for the interconnection line environmental permit, creating a material delay in the development process, including the increase in the number of local indigenous communities involved (from 56 to 113). Since then, EDPR developed several initiatives with the new elected Government and Regulator, highlighting the urgency of measures required to rebalance the economics of the projects, that was also impacted by other material developments such as (i) the unavailability of other transmission assets that were planned to be constructed and operated by third parties in the region (ii) the approval of new legislation with adverse impacts on the economics of the projects vs. the initial investment assumptions (iii) the significant increase in construction costs (iv) the devaluation of the Colombian Peso and (v) the increase in financing costs. In response, by August 2023, the government published Decree 1276 containing important emergency measures. However, this decree was not an adequate measure as it was deemed unconstitutional by the Colombian Constitutional Court and was thus annulled in October 2023, maintaining the unbalanced situation of the projects. EDPR took several steps to remediate the situation and reached bilateral renegotiation of 80.7% of the total PPA volumes of energy, with the consequent suspension of the energy delivery for more than 2 years. In the meantime, the environmental permit for the interconnection line has been submitted to the National Environmental Licensing Authority (ANLA) and is expected to be granted in the first half of 2025. However, as of today, there is no visibility on whether the license, if and when granted, will include conditions that could further delay construction or necessitate a reconsideration request, which could further postpone the start of the work. Additionally no visibility has been attained on the improvement of the regulated revenues’ framework, such as reforms to the "cargo por confiabilidad" mechanism and other potential measures, which EDPR and the renewable energy association of Colombia have defended as crucial to enable the construction of wind projects. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 641| | | | | | Following a detailed review of the projects, and given all of the above, EDPR considers that these projects do not meet the Group’s investment criteria and risk profile and has therefore decided not to proceed with the remaining investments required to build the wind farms. As a result, EDPR has deemed the investments made to be unrecoverable, leading to the impairment of the total value of assets associated with these projects. Consequently, an amount of 552,881 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 178,328 thousand Euros) has been recorded in 2024 (see notes 12 and 17). Given the decision to halt the construction of these projects and terminate the associated contracts, EDPR considers the guarantees granted by Group companies, which mostly relates to interconnection contracts for wind projects, and agreements with fixed asset suppliers, to be enforceable, thus creating a present obligation for the Group. Consequently, a provision amounting to 118,576 thousand Euros has been recognised (see note 37). 5. Financial risk management policies The military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022, and between Israel and Hamas, which began on 7 October 2023, along with the recent results of the US presidential elections, continue to have several impacts, namely in the financial markets, due to the volatility they entail, the uncertainty they carry, in a time when the major Central Banks have started to announce rate cuts, with ECB announcing 4 cuts of 25 bps (June, September, October and December), as a sign that inflation may now be controlled. The Group regularly monitors the financial markets evolution and the market variables to which it has exposure, seeking to mitigate that exposure by maintaining a mix of interest rate with a high percentage of fixed rate, maintaining prudent levels of foreign exchange hedging, choosing carefully its main counterparties favoring high ratings and high levels of liquidity (cash and available credit lines). The Group has adjusted its Financial Risk Management Policies incorporating worst case scenarios sufficiently conservative, therefore adequate to the Group profile. However, given that the duration of the conflicts, the political decisions of the new U.S. government and their global impacts are still unknown, the Group continues to monitor the risks, seeking to anticipate and manage possible additional impacts not currently contemplated. Exchange-rate and interest rate risk management Financial risk management The EDP Group’s business is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including the effect of changes in market prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. The Group’s exposure to financial risks arises essentially from its debt portfolio, its investments and from the volatility of commodity prices, resulting in interest and exchange rate exposures as well as commodity market price exposure. The status and evolution of the financial markets are analysed on an on-going basis in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy. The management of financial risks of EDP, S.A. and other EDP Group entities is undertaken centrally by EDP, S.A., in accordance with policies approved by the Executive Board of Directors. The Financial, the Energy Management and the Risk Management Departments identify, evaluate and submit to the Board, for approval, hedging mechanisms appropriate to each exposure. The Executive Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk management principles and the establishment of exposure limits. As for the subsidiaries of EDP Energias do Brasil, the management of the financial risks inherent to the variation of interest rates, exchange rates and commodities is carried out locally, according to the rules set by EDP Energias do Brasil's Management and aligned with the principles/policies set by EDP Group for this geographical area. Exchange-rate risk management EDP Group operates in different geographies, therefore becoming exposed to exchange rate risk in US Dollar (USD), Brazilian Real (BRL), Polish Zloty (PLN), Romanian Leu (RON), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Pound Sterling (GBP), Hungarian Forint (HUF), Colombian Pesos (COP), Singapore Dollar (SGD) and other asian currencies. Currently, these exposures result essentially from investments of EDP Group in wind (and solar) parks in the USA, Poland, Romania, Canada, United Kingdom, Hungary, Colombia and Singapore. The exposure to Brazilian Real results essentially from investments of EDP Group in EDP Energias do Brasil and EDP Renováveis Brasil. The majority of these investments were financed with debt contracted in the respective local currency which allows to mitigate the exchange rate risk related to these assets, and such financing is complemented, in certain cases, with derivative financial instruments to hedge exchange-rate risk on net investment. The policy implemented by the EDP Group consists of undertaking derivative financial instruments to hedge exchange rate risk with similar terms to those of the hedged asset or liability. The operations are revalued and monitored throughout their useful lives and, periodically, their effectiveness in controlling and hedging the risk that gave rise to them is assessed. Investments in the Brazilian subsidiaries of EDP Energias do Brasil, whose net assets expressed in Brazilian Real expose EDP Group to the exchange rate risk from its conversion to Euros, are monitored through analysis of the evolution of the BRL/EUR exchange rate. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 642| | | | | | In the hedge relationships, the main source of ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparties’ and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in exchange rates. Sensitivity analysis - exchange rate Regarding the financial instruments that result in an exchange rate risk exposure, a fluctuation of 10% in the EUR/USD exchange rate, as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, would lead to an increase/(decrease) in the EDP Group results and/or equity as follows: | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Thousand Euros | Profit or loss | Equity | Profit or loss | Equity | +10% | -10% | +10% | -10% | +10% | -10% | +10% | -10% USD | 10,157| -12,414| -10,437| 12,756| 1,166| -1,425| -19,352| 23,653 This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely interest rates, remain unchanged. Interest rate risk management The aim of the interest rate risk management policies is to manage the impact on financial charges, from contracted debt, related to the exposure to interest rate risk from market fluctuations. In the floating rate financing context, the EDP Group enters, when considered appropriate, into interest rate derivative financial instruments to hedge the cash flows associated with future interest payments, which have the effect of converting floating interest rate loans into fixed interest rate loans. Long-term debt engaged at fixed rates is, when appropriate, converted into floating rate debt through interest rate derivative financial instruments designed to level them to current and expected market conditions. All the operations are undertaken on liabilities in the EDP Group’s debt portfolio and mainly involve perfect hedges, resulting in a high level of correlation between changes in fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in fair value of the interest rate risk or future cash flows. In the hedge relationships, the main source of ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparty’s and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the interest rate swaps, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in interest rates. The EDP Group has a portfolio of interest rate derivatives with maturities up to 15 years. The Group’s Financial Department undertakes sensitivity analysis of the fair value of financial instruments to interest rate fluctuations. As at 31 December 2024, after the hedging effect of the derivatives, 78% of the Group's liabilities are at fixed rate. The EDP Group continues to use forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates in future financings. In 2022, the EDP Group entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps in EUR and USD. During 2023, the EUR pre-hedges were fully executed, and the USD pre-hedges were entirely liquidated due to changes in the net investment hedge policy. At the beginning of 2024, the Group entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps in EUR again, with the same objective, having liquidated them already. Sensitivity analysis - Interest rates (excluding the Brazilian operations) Based on the Group's debt portfolio, except for Brazil, and the related derivative financial instruments used to hedge the related interest rate risk, a 100 basis points change in the interest rates as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 would lead to an increase/(decrease) in the EDP Group results and/or equity as follows: | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Dec 2024 | Profit or loss | Equity Thousand Euros | 100 bp increase | 100 bp decrease | 100 bp increase | 100 bp decrease Cash flow effect: | | | | Hedged debt | -6,000| 6,000| —| — Unhedged debt | -11,134| 11,134| —| — Fair value effect: | | | | Cash flow hedging derivatives | —| —| 32,763| -32,763 | -17,134| 17,134| 32,763| -32,763 | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 643| | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Dec 2023 | Profit or loss | Equity Thousand Euros | 100 bp increase | 100 bp decrease | 100 bp increase | 100 bp decrease Cash flow effect: | | | | Hedged debt | -10,103| 10,103| —| — Unhedged debt | -3,814| 3,814| —| — Fair value effect: | | | | Cash flow hedging derivatives | —| —| 28,164| -28,164 Trading derivatives (accounting perspective) | 18| -18| —| — | -13,899| 13,899| 28,164| -28,164 This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely exchange rates, remain unchanged. Brazil - Exchange and interest rate risk management Stress tests and sensitivity analysis are carried out for purposes of risk management in the Brazilian subsidiaries. Through these two tools, the financial impact in different market scenarios is monitored. For sensitivity analysis, the exposure of portfolio of operations is evaluated through 25% and 50% changes in the main risk factors, currency and interest rates, and the scenario with the highest probability of occurrence is presented (25%). The stress test is performed on the fair value of the operations and uses as premise the interest rate curve projections of the Brazilian basic macroeconomic scenario. Brazil - Sensitivity analysis - exchange rate Two Brazilian subsidiaries are mainly exposed to the USD/BRL exchange rate risk, arising from USD debt for which the exposure is completely offset by Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps. Brazil - Sensitivity analysis - Interest rates Based on the portfolio of operations, a 25% change in the interest rates, to which the Brazilian subsidiaries are exposed to, would have an impact to EDP Energias do Brasil Group in the following amounts: | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Thousand Euros | \+ 25% | \- 25% | \+ 25% | \- 25% Financial instruments - assets | 12,268| -12,322| 10,032| -9,900 Financial instruments - liabilities | -95,581| 96,553| -51,387| 56,171 Derivative financial instruments | -14,022| 16,153| -31,352| 31,856 | -97,335| 100,384| -72,707| 78,127 Counterparty credit risk management EDP Group’s policy in terms of counterparty risk on financial transactions (see note 2 e)) is managed through an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit rating and exposure to each counterparty, avoiding significant concentrations of credit risk. Counterparties in derivative financial instruments are institutions with high credit rating so the risk of counterparty default is not considered to be significant. Therefore, guarantees and other collaterals are not typically required for these transactions. EDP Group has documented its financial operations in accordance with international standards. Derivative financial instruments are mainly contracted under ISDA Master Agreements. The amount receivable from customers is mainly generated by operations in Portugal, Spain and Brazil, with a diversified customer base, both geographically and in terms of segments (business clients, private and public sector) and size (Supply companies, Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C)). EDP Group is present in several countries and continents, structured in 4 regional hubs: Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America and South America. It has more than 8.9 million customers in the electricity and gas sectors, and usually the contractual relationship with the counterparty tends to be long-lasting.

The collateral provided is updated based on the average of the last quarter monthly sales, which reinforces a low risk profile; • In Brazil, it refers mainly to: (i) the amounts from sale of electricity to wholesale dealers and supply companies, (ii) accounts receivable relating to energy traded in the Electric Energy Trading Chamber - CCEE; and (iii) charges for the electricity network access; • In EDPR EU (Europe) and EDPR SA (South America) platforms, main customers are utilities and regulated entities in the different countries. Credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of its debtors. Additional counter-party risk comes from the countries with renewables incentives, which is usually treated as regulatory risk; • In EDPR NA (North America) platform, main customers are regulated utility companies and global commercial and industrial offtakers. As it occurs in Europe, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of the debtors. However, the exposure due to the mark-to-market of long term contracts may be significant; and • In EDPR APAC (Asia-Pacific) platform, the Group’s main customers are Distributed Generation offtakers and regulated entities in the different markets, namely in Singapore and Vietnam. As it occurs in the other platforms, credit risk from trade receivables is not significant due to same reasons. However, counter-party risk comes from countries with renewables incentives through regulated tariffs, which is usually treated as regulatory risk. Exposure in all markets EDPR operates is managed by a detailed assessment of the counter-party before signing any long term agreement and by a requirement of collaterals when financial soundness of the counterparty deteriorates. Regarding the remaining receivables from companies and individual customers, resulting from the current activity of EDP Group, the credit risk is essentially the result of customers defaults, whose exposure is limited to the supply made until the possible date of supply disruption. A very criterious credit risk analysis made for new costumers, the large number of customers and their diversity in terms of sectors of activity, are some of the main factors that mitigate the concentration of counterparty credit risk. Amounts receivable from public sector customers include amounts receivable from renegotiated debt with payment agreements, which, as the counterparty is a public entity and has already recognised the debt through payment protocols, present a lower risk. These amounts also include debt without payment agreements arising from the normal power supply activity similar to that described for the corporate and individual sector. In accordance with accounting policies - note 2 e), impairment losses are determined using the simplified approach precluded in IFRS 9, based on life time expected losses. Regarding third-party receivables generated by the Group’s day-to-day business, the credit risk arises essentially from the legal obligation to continue supplying low-voltage electricity with usual payment delays. The very criterious credit risk analysis made for new costumers, as well as the large number of customers and their diversity in terms of sectors of activity, the large volume of residential customers, as well as the execution of non-recourse factoring operations, are some of the main factors that mitigate the concentration of counterparty credit risk. EDP Group believes that the amount that best represents the Group's exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of customers and of Contract assets related to energy sales net of the impairment losses recognised. The Group believes that the credit quality of these receivables is adequate and that there are no significant impairment losses to be recognized. As at 31 December 2024, in accordance with the methodology for determining impairment losses on amounts receivable from the electric sector, no impairment loss has been booked. The risk levels for amounts receivable from the electric sector have been considered to be the same as the country risk levels for Brazil, Portugal and Spain, which have high credit ratings. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 645| | | | | | The maximum exposure to credit risk of Contract assets related to energy sales and Amounts receivable from the electric sector is as follows: | | ---|---|--- Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Contract assets related to energy sales: | | Contract assets receivable from energy sales contracts | 1,425,415| 1,257,182 | 1,425,415| 1,257,182 Amounts receivable from the electric sector: | | Amounts receivable from tariff adjustments - Electricity (see note 27) | 22,931| 401,702 Amounts receivable relating to CMEC (see note 27) | 506,398| 576,511 Amounts receivable from concessions - IFRIC 12 (see note 27) | 1,601,072| 1,695,957 | 2,130,401| 2,674,170 | 3,555,816| 3,931,352 Liquidity risk management The EDP Group undertakes management of liquidity risk through the engagement and maintenance of credit lines and financing facilities, with a firm underwriting commitment with international reliable financial institutions, as well as term deposits, allowing immediate access to funds. These credit lines are used to complement and backup national and international commercial paper programmes, allowing the EDP Group’s short-term financing sources to be diversified (see note 35). Considering the military conflicts, the Group assessed the potential impacts on additional liquidity needs, having concluded that the current Liquidity Risk Management Policy remains adequate.

Energy market risk management Energy market risk management (excluding the Brazilian operations) Since 2022, following the strategic decision of implementing in the EDP Group a new platform management model, Energy market risk management is done through the Global Energy Management platform (GEM). GEM acts as an interface between the Generation and Renewable platforms and the Clientes platform, ensuring access to energy markets as a way of optimizing the group's risk positions across different geographies, being the preferred interlocutor in the energy markets. Managing the merchant energy as single portfolio seeks to capture the benefits resulting from the integrated management of the diversified portfolio, achieving an aggregate view of market risk, maximizing knowledge and operation synergies in the market. GEM's main functions are to optimize and manage the risks associated with the Group's position, resulting from the equilibrium between the production of its traditional and renewable assets and the needs of clients, by using short and long term, physical and financial energy markets. The portfolio is managed through the engagement of operations with financial and physical settlement on the forward/future energy markets. The objective of these operations is to reduce volatility of the financial impact resulting from the managed positions and to benefit from arbitration or positioning within the trading limits approved by the Executive Board of Directors. The activity is therefore subject to a series of variables | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 646| | | | | | which are identified and classified based on their common uncertainty characteristics (or risk). Such risks include market price evolution, volume, and shape risk as well as credit risk of the counterparties. The financial instruments traded mainly include energy commodities swaps and futures, for which, in the hedge relationships, the main source of ineffectiveness are: (i) the effect of the counterparty’s and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the financial derivatives, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in market prices and (ii) the timing of the hedged transactions, that may differ from the settlement of the hedging instrument. Monitoring the risks includes their quantification in terms of positions at risk which can be adjusted through market operations. This quantification is made by using specific models that value positions to determine the maximum loss that can be incurred, with a given probability and a determined time frame. Risks are managed in accordance with the strategies defined by the Executive Board of Directors, which are subject to a periodic review based on the evolution of the operations, to change the profile of the positions and adjust them to the established management objectives. Risks are monitored by means of a series of actions involving daily monitoring of different risk indicators, of the operations grouped in the systems and the prudence limits defined by management area and risk component, as well as regular backtesting and supplementary validation of the models and assumptions used. This monitoring not only ensures the effectiveness of the strategies implemented, but also provides elements to enable initiatives to be taken to correct them, if necessary. The Group considers that most important risk indicator is the Margin@Risk metric, which is a parametric calculation of the Value@Risk that gives visibility on individual risk elements of the Portfolio and different timeframe granularities but at the same time it provides the aggregated overall metric that considers diversification effect. The distribution by business segments is as follows: | | | ---|---|---|--- | | Margin@Risk distribution for next 24 months by business segment Thousand Euros | | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Business | Portfolio | | Electricity /Gas | Trading | 1,300| 2,996 Electricity | Hedging | 445,809| 606,061 Gas | Hedging | 92,440| 101,693 Diversification effect | | -103,792| -121,245 | | 435,757| 589,505 Regarding credit risk, it is noteworthy that derivative financial instruments are traded both in market exchanges and through bilateral contracts (Over-the-counter – OTC). As per futures (forward derivatives traded in centralized market exchanges), given the requirements for the trading entities, namely margin deposits as collateral, credit risk is mostly mitigated and therefore excluded from exposure detailed below. As per derivative financial instruments contracted OTC, the quantification of exposure considers the amount and type of transaction (e.g. swap or forward), the rating of the counterparty risk that depends on the probability of default and the expected value of credit to recover, which varies depending on the guarantees received or the existence of netting agreements. The EDP Group's exposure to credit risk rating is as follows: | | ---|---|--- | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Credit risk rating (S&P) | | A+ to A- | 2.04%| 16.38% BBB+ to BBB- | 51.99%| 56.74% No rating assigned | 45.97%| 26.88% | 100.00%| 100.00% Brazil - Energy market risk management Arising from the energy trading activity in Brazil, EDP Trading Comercialização e Serviços de Energia, S.A. and EDP Smart Energia Lda. are exposed to market price risk associated with future commitments, resulting from bilateral contracts for the purchase and sale of energy. At reporting date, the result of future commitment contracts is determined as the differential, for each maturity term, between the prices of the bilateral contracts for the purchase and sale of energy and their mark-to-market valuation using forward price curves. The result of future commitment contracts presents volatility associated with energy price fluctuation, generating market price risk. The management of market price risk is carried out through the determination and daily monitoring of the risk, respecting the limits approved by the Management of EDP Brazil and framed within the Risk Management Policy of the EDP Group, for the purchase and sale of energy using a methodology established in the Energy Risk Policy. The methodology adopted is a VaR (Value@Risk) with 95% confidence that considers a forward curve of market prices, the exposure of the portfolio (difference between purchase and sell) and the volatility and liquidity observed in the free market for each period. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 647| | | | | | For sensitivity analysis, the exposure of portfolio of operations is evaluated through 25% and 50% changes in the forward curve of market energy prices.

Therefore, capital management is carried out within the financial risk management process of the entity. Additionally, management describes this aspect of its strategic objectives, policies and processes to manage risks, including the financial risks, in the chapters of the Integrated Annual Report: Part I - 02 Strategic Approach 2.2 Risk management: Main Risks for 2025 - Financial; Risk appetite statement - Financial; and 2.3 Strategic priorities: Strategic Pillars - Distinctive and Resilient Portfolio. Part II - Corporate Governance Report 53 Identification of the main types of risks to which the company is exposed in the course of its business \- Financial Risks. The Group’s goal in managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s capacity to continue operating as a going concern, grow steadily to meet established objectives and maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce equity cost. In conformity with other groups operating in this sector, the Group controls its financing structure based on several control mechanisms and ratios. 6.

In the impairment tests carried out, EDP's energy transition strategy, namely the strategic goal of being "coal free" by 2025, was also considered, with a significant impact on the tests performed on the thermal generation assets (see note 49). Based on a detailed review of the situation of the wind portfolio in Colombia, it has been decided not to proceed with the remaining investments required to build the wind farms. Consequently, as the investments made are not expected to be recovered, an impairment loss has been recorded for the total value of assets linked to these projects, in the amount of 552,881 thousand Euros (see note 4). The remaining impairment tests carried out did not lead to the recording of relevant impairment losses. The discount rates after taxes used reflect the best estimate of the specific risks of each cash generating unit, presenting the following variation bands: | | ---|---|--- | 2024 | 2023 Europe | 4.4 - 8.7% | 4.4% - 8.2% North America | 5.8 - 8.3% | 6.4% - 8.2% South America | 6.7 - 11.2% | 6.7% - 11.3% APAC | 2.9 - 8.8% | 6.1% - 6.3% 13. Other non recurring income and expenses (Company basis) On 1 February 2023, EDP S.A. entered into a transfer ("trespasse") agreement with EDP GEM Portugal, S.A. (EDP GEM) with the aim of transferring its energy management business unit. This transfer of activity results from the global vision of energy management that the EDP Group has been developing which includes the transfer to EDP GEM of all assets, liabilities and contractual positions that make up that business unit, as well as its employees and associated means necessary to carry out its activity. The total amount of the operation was 1,169,510 thousand Euros. On the transaction date, the book value of the net assets transferred under this contract was 228,858 thousand Euros and a gain of 940,653 thousand Euros was recorded. As a result of this agreement, EDP S.A. transfers its energy management activity, so with reference to 1 February 2023, all existing cash flow hedges (related to foreign exchange, purchase and sale of electricity, gas and CO2) have been discontinued, reclassifying the cash flow reserve in the negative amount of 1,014,219 thousand Euros to profit or loss, since the underlying transactions subject to hedging were transferred to EDP GEM under the terms of the transfer agreement and as such will not occur at EDP S.A. The operationalization of this transfer occurs through the assignment of EDP S.A's contractual positions in favor of EDP GEM, with a back-to-back mechanism also foreseen for contractual positions whose assignment requires the fulfillment of formalities by third parties unrelated to EDP S.A., until such formalities are fulfilled. During this period, EDP GEM undertakes to assume all the risks and benefits associated with those positions, assuming EDP S.A. as an agent in relation to the rights and obligations that emerge from them. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 655| | | | | | Since the transfer of the energy management business unit is a specific and unique transaction within the scope of the individual financial statements of EDP S.A., it was considered that the result generated should be presented separately in the operating results of EDP, S.A. On the same day and pursuant to this agreement, EDP S.A., the sole shareholder of EDP GEM, approved the provision of supplementary pecuniary capital contributions under the applicable rules for additional contributions, in the global amount of 1,000,000 thousand Euros. 14. Financial income and expenses Financial income and expenses, for the Group, are as follows: | | ---|---|--- | Group Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Financial income | | Interest income from bank deposits and other investments | 110,386| 133,522 Interest from derivative financial instruments | 73,557| 72,521 Interest income on tariff deficit: | | \- Portugal - Electricity (see note 27) | 6,438| 37,166 \- Brazil - Electricity (see note 39) | 76| 6,257 Other interest income | 112,697| 87,809 Derivative financial instruments | 213,778| 288,965 Foreign exchange gains | 356,033| 283,784 CMEC: | | \- Interest on the initial CMEC | 16,691| 20,404 \- Financial effect considered in the calculation | 6,396| 6,667 Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (see note 23) | 16,062| — Other financial income | 65,216| 42,403 | 977,330| 979,498 | | Financial expenses | | Interest expense on financial debt | 844,298| 836,313 Bonds buyback | 17,093| 4,802 Capitalised borrowing costs: | | \- Assigned to concessions (see note 7) | -8,031| -6,355 \- Other (see note 17) | -183,083| -131,176 Interest from derivative financial instruments | 168,450| 211,419 Interest expense on tariff deficit: | | \- Portugal - Electricity (see note 27) | 8,250| 2,306 \- Brazil - Electricity (see note 39) | 13,493| 9,253 Other interest expense | 36,725| 38,182 Derivative financial instruments | 78,792| 465,797 Foreign exchange losses | 544,234| 161,920 CMEC | 1,099| 3,006 Unwinding of discounted liabilities | 140,665| 138,191 Unwinding of lease liabilities (see note 40) | 51,798| 47,718 Net interest on the net pensions plan liability (see notee 36) | 3,699| 9,610 Net interest on the medical liabilities and other benefits (see note 36) | 18,405| 20,029 Other financial expenses | 123,933| 78,679 | 1,859,820| 1,889,694 Financial income/(expenses) | -882,490| -910,196 Capitalised borrowing costs includes the interest capitalised in assets under construction according to Group accounting policy (see note 2 h)). Regarding the rate applicable to borrowing costs related with tangible/intangible assets under construction that is used in the determination of the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation (see notes 17 and 19), it varies depending on business unit, the country and currency, since EDP Group incorporates in its scope of consolidation a significant number of subsidiaries in several geographies with different currencies. Therefore, for the most representative geographies, the funding rates in use in 2024, ranged from 1.50% to 5.94% in Portugal, from 1.50% to 4.38% in Spain and from 0.81% to 8.25% in North America, depending on related assets under construction and related financing. The costs related to the Unwinding of discounted liabilities refer essentially to: (i) the unwinding of the provision for dismantling and decommissioning of production assets in the amount of 20,625 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 16,804 thousand Euros) (see note 37); (ii) the implied financial return in institutional partnerships of 83,827 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 81,058 thousand Euros) (see note 38); and (iii) the financial expenses related to the discount of the liability associated to the concessions of Alqueva/Pedrógão, Investco and Enerpeixe of 19,893 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 12,230 thousand Euros). In January 2024, EDP launched, through its whole subsidiary Servicios Financieros España, S.A.U. (EDP SFE), a cash tender offer invitation for the debt securities issued by EDP Finance BV "$500,0000,000 6,3% | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 656| | | | | | Notes due 2027". As a result of this offer, EDP Servicios Financieros España, S.A.U. acquired 366,878 thousand US dollars, recognising a cost of 17,093 thousand Euros. The Derivative financial instruments caption includes income and expenses related with financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss (included in the Caption Others), while the remaining captions of financial income and expenses arise from financial instruments are registered at amortised cost, based on the effective interest rate method. Financial income and expenses, for the Company, are as follows: | | ---|---|--- | Company Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Financial income | | Interest income from loans to subsidiaries and related parties (see note 45) | 212,885| 130,328 Interest from derivative financial instruments | 200,463| 191,577 Derivative financial instruments | 275,203| 510,795 Income from equity investments (see note 45) | 905,999| 930,118 Gains on the sale of financial investments (see note 6) | 93,319| — Reversal of impairments on equity investments and shareholders loans | —| 26,630 Other financial income | 19,986| 24,961 | 1,707,855| 1,814,409 | | Financial expenses | | Interest expense on financial debt | 410,146| 297,618 Bonds Buyback | —| 4,802 Interest from derivative financial instruments | 202,885| 199,873 Derivative financial instruments | 273,470| 487,327 Unwinding of lease liabilities | 5,761| 5,733 Impairment on equity investments and shareholders loans | 94| 5,888 Other financial expenses | 18,768| 48,441 | 911,124| 1,049,682 Financial income/(expenses) | 796,731| 764,727 The caption Other financial income includes 340 thousand Euros related to nominal interests from bonds issued by EDP Finance B.V., repurchased by EDP S.A. (see notes 28 and 45). The effective interest of these instruments amounts to 94 thousand Euros (includes the recognition of premium and transaction costs associated with the buyback transaction by the effective interest rate method). 15. Income tax The following note includes an analysis on the reconciliation between the theoretical and the effective income tax rate applicable at an individual level and at the level of the EDP Group, on a consolidated basis. In general terms, this analysis aims to quantify the impact of the income tax, recognised in the income statement, which includes both current and deferred tax. As the EDP Group prepares and discloses its financial statements in accordance with IFRS, an alignment between the accounting of income tax expense or income and the corresponding cash flow is not mandatory. Accordingly, this analysis does not represent the income tax paid or received by the EDP Group for the correspondent reporting period. The overall tax contribution borne by EDP Group (which includes comments on the contributions paid to the respective states where the Group operates), as well as other relevant information (such as EDP Group's tax footprint, specific taxation over energy sector and procedures to control and manage adverse tax exposures), are annually disclosed by EDP. The general principles concerning EDP Group's mission and tax policy are also addressed in the same report as well as on its website (www.edp.com). This document also describes the key principles with respect to the transfer pricing policy applicable to EDP Group, under which the Group's policy is to abide within the international rules, guidelines and best practices applicable in the various geographies where it operates. It should be noted that, as a multinational group, EDP Group fully complies with the annual obligation of communication and report, which results from the transposition into the Portuguese domestic Law of the disposals of Action 13 of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (named Country-by-Country Reporting), as a part of a set of measures adopted by OECD and G20 countries to enhance transparency for tax administrations. Furthermore, this obligation is fulfilled in Portugal by the parent company, within the deadlines foreseen by law. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 657| | | | | | Main features of the tax systems of the countries in which EDP Group operates The statutory corporate income tax rates applicable in the main countries in which EDP Group operates are as follows: | | ---|---|--- | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Europe: | | Portugal | 21% - 31.5% | 21% - 31.5% Spain | 24% - 25% | 24% - 25% Netherlands | 19% - 25.8% | 19% - 25.8% France | 25%| 25% Italy | 24% - 28.8% | 24% - 28.8% Poland | 19%| 19% Romania | 16%| 16% Greece | 22%| 22% Asia: | | Singapore | 17%| 17% Vietnam | 20%| 20% America: | | Brazil | 34%| 34% Colombia | 35%| 35% United States of America | 24.91%| 24.91% Canada | 23% - 26.5% | 23% - 26.5% Mexico | 30%| 30% EDP Group companies are taxed, whenever possible, on a Group consolidated basis as allowed by the tax legislation of the respective countries. As per the applicable legislation, in general terms, the corporate income tax for a fiscal year may be subject to review and reassessment by the tax authorities during a limited period of time. In Portugal, this period is 4 years, or, if tax losses or credits have been used, the number of years that such tax losses or credits may be carried forward. In Spain, the general period is 4 years, in the Netherlands and in Brazil it is 5 years and in the USA it is 3 years. In other key jurisdictions, the statute of limitation period ranges between 3 and 12 years. Tax losses generated in each year are also subject to the tax authorities' review and reassessment and may be carried forward and set off against income over a time period and limits established in each jurisdiction. In Portugal, Spain, USA, Brazil and the Netherlands, tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely. However, the deduction of tax losses in most jurisdictions where EDP Group carries out its activity is limited to a percentage of the taxable income of each period or is subject to other limitations. EDP Group companies may, in accordance with the law, benefit from certain tax benefits or incentives in specific conditions, namely the Production Tax Credit in North America, which is the dominant form of wind remuneration in this country, and represent an extra source of revenue per unit of electricity, over the first 10 years of the asset’s life. Wind facilities that qualify for the application of the Production Tax Credits prior to 1 January 2017, benefit from 100% of the credit ($25/MWh in 2020 and in 2021, being adjusted to inflation in subsequent years). The credit amount is reduced by 20% for wind facilities qualifying in 2017, 40% in 2018 and 60% in 2019. Additional legislation in 2020 and 2021 extended the regime to wind facilities, with start of construction in 2020 or 2021, attributing 60% of the tax credit amount. The 2022 Inflation reduction act extended the Production Tax Credit at 100% benefit for wind and solar projects going commercial operations in 2022 or later. Alternatively, the EDP Group companies can, instead of the production tax credit, choose to benefit from the Investment Tax Credit which avails solar, storage and wind projects to a credit based upon its capital expenditures. This credit amount equates to 30% for projects that achieve commercial operations by 2022 or later. Additionally, this credit can increase to 40% or 50% dependent on the 1) the use of domestic made equipment and/or 2) locating a project in an economically depressed area or an area that once had a traditional energy facility. Relevant events for EDP Group in 2024 The Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523, adopted on 14 December 2022, establishes a framework for implementing the OECD’s Pillar Two global minimum tax within the European Union. It enacted rules to ensure that multinational enterprises (MNEs) and large domestic groups with annual revenues exceeding 750 million Euros are subject to a minimum effective tax rate of 15% in every jurisdiction where they operate. The directive is aligned with the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules developed by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and aims to prevent tax avoidance by limiting profit shifting to low-tax jurisdictions. The core elements of Pillar Two are an IIR (Income Inclusion Rule) and an UTPR (Undertaxed Payments Rule), which operates as a backstop rule to the IIR. UTPR will not apply to EDP Group as the Ultimate Parent Entity (EDP SA) is subject to IIR. Under IIR, Pillar 2 imposes a top-up tax on the difference between the jurisdictional Pillar 2 Effective Tax Rate (ETR) and the 15% minimum ETR. Each country may also elect to implement a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT). However, any top-up tax arising from the application of the QDMTT may be offset against the top-up tax resulting from the IIR. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 658| | | | | | During the initial years of Pillar 2 implementation, the OECD has introduced a transitional Country-by- Country (CbCr) Safe Harbour, in order to avoid increasing administrative burden for MNEs subject to Pillar 2 in that period. This transitional safe harbour is a short-term measure only applicable until 2026 tax year. Under the transitional CbCr Safe Harbour, the top-up tax for a jurisdiction will be nil, provided that at least one of the following three tests is met for that jurisdiction: 1) Minimis test, 2) Simplified ETR test and 3) Routine profits test. Recently, a QDMTT Safe Harbour was introduced, in order to reduce compliance and administrative costs at the level of MNEs. Under the QDMTT safe harbour, the above mentioned credit against the IIR mechanism is replaced by an exemption. Indeed, when the QDMTT Safe Harbour applies, any top-up tax that would be payable under the IIR will be deemed to be zero. Thus, MNEs will only need to compute the top-up tax once, according to the related QDMTT rules. EDP Group is subject to this new tax regulation. Thus, it was evaluated the potential impact to the top-up tax across the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. Most of these jurisdictions have either implemented or announced plans to adopt the GloBE Rules. As a result of this analysis, only a limited number of cases were identified where the effective tax rate falls below 15%. Based on this assessment, any additional top-up tax payable by EDP Group under the GloBE Rules is not expected to have a material impact. In the majority of the jurisdictions where the Group operates, the transitional Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCr) safe harbour applies and therefore no additional tax will be due. The jurisdictions where Globe rules apply as of 2024 fiscal year onwards are identified in the following summarized table: | | ---|---|--- Jurisdiction | IIR enacted in 2024| QDMTT enacted in 2024 Portugal | Yes | Yes Spain | Yes | Yes Netherlands | Yes | Yes France | Yes | Yes Italy | Yes | Yes Poland | Yes | Yes Romania | Yes | Yes Greece | Yes | Yes Singapore | No | No Vietnam | Yes | Yes Brazil | No | No Colombia | No | No United States of America | No | No Canada | No | No Mexico | No | No United Kingdom | Yes | Yes Australia | Yes | Yes Belgium | Yes | Yes Germany | Yes | Yes Hungary | Yes | Yes Japan | Yes | No Luxembourg | Yes | Yes Other | No | No Corporate income tax provision Income tax expense provision is as follows: | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Group | Company Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Current tax | -192,880| -232,239| 49,159| 99,701 Deferred tax | -313,475| -274,980| -10,733| -79,414 | -506,355| -507,219| 38,426| 20,287 Reconciliation between the theoretical and the effective income tax provision The effective income tax rate is as follows: | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Group | Company Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Profit before tax and CESE | 1,379,493| 1,887,974| 778,973| 803,349 Income tax expense | -506,355| -507,219| 38,426| 20,287 Effective income tax rate | 36.7%| 26.9%| -4.9%| -2.5% The difference between the theoretical and the effective income tax expense results from the application of the tax law provisions, in the various countries where EDP operates, in accordance with the accounting standards that are the basis for the preparation and disclosure of its financial statements, in the determination of the taxable base, as demonstrated below. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 659| | | | | | The reconciliation between the theoretical and the effective income tax expense for the Group is as follows: | | ---|---|--- Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Profit before income tax and CESE | 1,379,493| 1,887,974 Theoretical income tax rate * | 31.5%| 29.5% Theoretical income tax expense | 434,540| 556,952 Different tax rates (includes state surcharge) and CIT rate changes | 91,396| 20,327 Tax losses, tax credits and benefits | -20,464| -27,687 Dividends | -11,173| 6,863 Differences between accounting and fiscal provisions/depreciations | 44,678| 7,614 Accounting/fiscal differences on the recognition/derecognition of assets | 43,060| -81,110 Taxable differences attributable to non-controlling interests | -17,655| -15,178 Other adjustments and changes in estimates | -58,027| 39,438 Effective income tax expense as per the Consolidated Income Statement | 506,355| 507,219 * The average rate that best represents the distribution of the various applicable tax rates for EDP Group companies taking into account their activity. The caption Different tax rates (includes state surcharge) and CIT rate changes mainly refer to the difference between the tax rates applicable in the countries in which the EDP Group operates as compared to the tax rate used as reference for the theoretical income tax expense calculation. For 2023, the caption Accounting/fiscal differences on the recognition/derecognition of assets mainly includes the impact related to the non-taxation of capital gains resulting from the sale of a set of wind farms in Europe. For 2024, the caption mainly relates to (i) the tax treatment associated to the recognition of the impairment for the Colombian assets (see note 12). The caption Taxable differences attributable to non-controlling interests (North America) include the effect inherent in the attribution of taxable income to non-controllable interests in EDPR Group in the USA, as determined by the tax legislation of that geography. The caption Other adjustments and changes in estimates mainly refers to (i) the recognition of potential liabilities associated to tax audits in the Spanish Perimeter; (ii) the effect of the recognition of equity method and (iii) the recognition, in Brazil, of a tax credit related to the non-incidence of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution (CSLL) over the monetary update revenue (Selic rate), following a positive court decision.

Extraordinary contribution to the energy sector (CESE) Law 83-C/2013, of the State Budget 2014 ("Lei do Orçamento de Estado 2014"), approved by the Portuguese Government on 31 December 2013, introduced CESE, with the objective of financing mechanisms that promote the energy sector systemic sustainability, through the establishment of a fund which aims to contribute for the reduction of tariff debt and to finance social and environmental policies in the energy sector. This contribution focuses generally on the economic operators that develop the following activities: (i) generation, transmission or distribution of electricity; (ii) transportation, distribution, storage or wholesale supply of natural gas; and (iii) refining, treatment, storage, transportation, distribution and wholesale supply of crude oil and oil products. CESE is calculated based on the companies’ net assets as at 1 January, which comply, cumulatively, to: (i) property, plant and equipment; (ii) intangible assets, except industrial property elements; and (iii) financial assets assigned to concessions or licensed activities. In the case of regulated activities, CESE focuses on the value of regulated assets if it is higher than the value of those assets. The general rate is 0.85%. However, in case of natural gas combined cycle power plants with an annual utilization equivalent of installed capacity equal or higher to 1,500 hours and lower than 3,000 hours, is expected a reduced rate of 0.565%. Nevertheless, this rate could be 0.285% in case the annual utilization of installed capacity is lower than 1,500 hours. The CESE system has been successively extended and is now valid for 2024 through Law nº 82/2023 of 29 December. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 660| | | | | | EDP has paid 558,205 thousand Euros relating to CESE for the years 2014 to 2022. As at 31 December 2024, the Group booked under the caption Extraordinary contribution to the energy sector (CESE) in the Consolidated Income Statement, the amount of 47,748 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 49,365 thousand Euros). However, as it is a tax of doubtful constitutionality - with the Constitutional Court having already issued decisions to that effect regarding some operators in the electricity sector in relation to the year 2019 - EDP decided not to pay it and challenge its legality. 17.

Goodwill impairment test analysis - EDP Group The recoverability of goodwill in subsidiaries is assessed annually as of 30 September, regardless of the presence of impairment indicators. The recoverable amount of the assets corresponds to the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and their value in use, calculated using valuation methodologies based on discounted cash flow techniques. These take into account market conditions, the time value of money, and business risks. Any impairment losses are recognized in the income statement for the period. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 664| | | | | | EDP Group segments based on which the Group monitors its activity are as follows (see note 51): • Renewables, Clients & Energy Management - corresponds to the activity of generation of electricity from renewable sources, mainly hydro, wind and solar. This segment also includes the following activities: generation of electricity from non-renewable sources, mainly coal and gas, electricity and gas supply and related energy solutions services to clients; and energy management businesses responsible for management of purchases and sales of energy in Iberian and Brazilian markets, and also for the related hedging transactions; and • Networks - corresponds to the electricity distribution and transmission activity, including regulated energy retailers. For the purposes of these tests, the EDP Group has defined a set of assumptions to determine the recoverable amount of the main investments by each cash generating unit, being presented by aggregation in each business units after the impairment tests carried out at each subgroup/cash generating unit. Goodwill impairment test analysis - Renewables, Clients & Energy Management The future cash flows are based on the useful life of wind farms, solar, hydro and battery energy storage system assets. This projection also considers long-term energy sales contracts and long-term energy price estimates, for assets with market exposure. The main assumptions on which impairment tests are based are as follows: • Regarding the production of wind and solar energy, the “net capacity factors” used for each cash- generating unit consider: (i) the installed capacity and the forecast resulting from the studies on the occurrence of wind in the long term; and (ii) that regulatory mechanisms in almost all geographies determine the production and priority of energy dispatch whenever weather conditions permit; • Regarding hydro production, the “net capacity factors” used for each cash-generating unit consider: (i) the installed capacity and the forecast for hydraulic production; and (ii) that the regulatory mechanisms in each geography; • Energy remuneration: the approved or contracted remunerations were considered in the event of long- term energy sales contracts for the total or partial useful life of the assets or remunerations determined by the regulatory framework in force in each geography. In the remaining cases, the long-term market price curves projected by the Group were used based on past experience and internal models built on the basis of external information sources; • Operating costs: the land and maintenance contracts in force were used. The other operating costs were projected consistently based on the experience acquired, on the Budget approved for the next year and taking into account internal analysis models; • Terminal value: considered between 10% and 15% of the initial investment in each wind, solar and battery energy storage system projects taking inflation into account; and • Discount rate: the discount rates used are post-tax and reflect EDP Group’s best estimate of the risks specific to each CGU (see note 12). Impairment tests were performed taking into account the regulatory changes in each country known at the end 2024. The impairment tests carried out on Goodwill did not result in the recognition of any material impairment losses in 2024. Goodwill impairment test analysis - Networks The cash flow projection assumes the extent of the concessions related to the electricity distribution business in Brazil. In the case of the concession in Spain, it is perpetual. These cash flows are estimated considering the volume of production and expected consumption, installed capacity, the evolution forecast of the tariff and the energy purchase / sale agreements. The discount rates after taxes used are disclosed in note 12. The main assumptions used to project cash flows are as follows: • Investment costs: the best available estimates of the investments to be made were used to ensure regular use of current assets, as well as those resulting from legislative changes; • Regarding operating costs, the projections made considered the current operating costs projected based on the historical experience acquired, in the Budget approved for the next year and taking into account internal models of analysis; • The most recent remuneration rates proposed by ANEEL and Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC) were considered, applying the updating mechanisms as provided for in the regulation; | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 665| | | | | | • The projections for the electricity distribution businesses are based on long-term estimates of the various assumptions considered in the analysis; and • The terminal value of the distribution assets corresponds to the present value of the net assets at the end of the concession (“Net Regulatory Asset Base”). Sensitivity analyzes were performed on the results of the impairment tests carried out, namely at discount rates. The results of the sensitivity analyzes carried out conclude that an increase of 50 basis points in the different discount rates, does not determine the existence of signs of impairment in goodwill or concession rights. 21.

This operation resulted in a reduction in the financial investment of EDP, S.A. in EDP Produção, S.A. by approximately 13,188 thousand Euros and an increase of 6,032 thousand Euros in CEL Energy, S.A. and 7,156 thousand Euros in RJCE Energy, S.A. In the context of impairment tests carried out at EDP Group, the financial investments held by EDP, S.A. in subsidiaries are reviewed, based on the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs related to the sale. The main assumptions considered in the valuation models of the main financial holdings in Portugal of EDP, S.A. are as follows: • The discount rates used reflect the best estimate regarding the specific risks associated to each subsidiary activity within a range between 4.7% and 5.9% (2023: between 4.7% and 6.4%); • For the activities subject to regulation, the remunerations currently in force and/or approved were considered, applying the updating mechanisms as provided for in the regulation, and incorporates the expectation of renewal of the concessions currently in force and the best estimate of CAPEX and the future regulatory framework; • Fuel prices, CO2 licenses and electricity prices forecast were defined considering market expectations for future prices and the application of internal models for building price curves, taking into account the regulatory framework in force and the best expectation regarding its future evolution. Regarding fuel prices, the prices and clauses established in long-term supply contracts, including gas purchase contracts, were also considered. Production assets were valued from a portfolio management perspective, without prejudice to an individual analysis as to recoverability, based on the estimate of the evolution of the market share; • The production estimates were based on an average hydrological year over the projection period for the hydroelectric plants, the estimated evolution of demand, market share projections and current | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 666| | | | | | installed and under construction capacity, as well as the best estimate of the plants to be decommission in the projection period; • Additionally, other system costs are considered, such as: ISP and CO2 addition fee, CESE and other income; and • The operating costs considered were based on extrapolations from current operating costs based on the knowledge acquired in each activity. The impairment tests mentioned above did not result in the recording of any impairment in 2024. The assumptions used in the valuation models of EDP S.A.'s financial holdings in other geographies, as well as the respective sensitivity analyses are described in note 20. 22.

The discount rates used for the EDP Group pension plan were selected based on an analysis of the rates of return available on the date for the high quality corporate bonds.

The contributions made to the Pension funds in Brazil amounted to 8,218 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 9,580 thousand Euros), which were fully paid in cash. Following the decision and implementation of the autonomisation of the Medical Plan and Death Subsidy Plan in Portugal, EDP Group has made contributions of 11,169 thousand Euros in 2024 (31 December 2023: 5,585 thousand Euros). We noticed that as of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the liabilities for Death Subsidy and Medical and Other Benefit Plan in Portugal were fully financed. Therefore, in the following years, are not expected additional contributions to finance these liabilities. The Pension Plans in Portugal, Spain and Brazil are subject to several risks, in which are included the risk of changes in market rates (which impacts the discount rate and the fixed rate of return rate on assets), the risk of changes on the expected lifetime of plan participants, the risk of changes on the pension increase rate and the risk of changes on the social security pension increase, to which are made the following sensitivity analysis for the liabilities at the end of the period: | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | Portugal | Spain | Brazil Thousand Euros | Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease Discount rate (0.5% movement) | -21,679| 23,212| -121| 136| -7,485| 8,057 Mortality (increase of 1 year in expected lifetime of plan participants)| 26,388| —| 3,117 The solvency level of the fund for the financing of pension plan liabilities in Portugal may vary not only from the risks described above, but also from the performance of the different classes of assets that comprise it. Considering the nature of the defined benefit of the plan and despite the fund's low risk profile (mostly composed of fixed income assets), the joint materialization of adverse risks (including those above referred) may lead to the need for additional contributions to the fund. The medical care and other benefits Plans in Portugal, Spain and Brazil are subject to several risks, in which are included the risk of changes in market rates (which impacts the discount rate and the fixed rate of return rate on assets), the risk of changes in the health care costs and the risk of changes on the expected lifetime of plan participants, to which are made the following sensitivity analysis for the liabilities at the end of the period: | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | Portugal | Spain | Brazil Thousand Euros | Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease Discount rate (0.5% movement) | -21,543| 24,715| -4,736| 3,790| -3,710| 3,528 Health care cost trend (0.5% movement) | 11,259| -10,442| —| —| —| — Mortality (increase of 1 year in expected lifetime of plan participants)| 10,846| —| -3,547 The level of solvency of the fund for the financing of post-employment medical care liabilities in Portugal may vary not only from the risks described above, but also from the performance of the different classes of assets that comprise it.

Provision for legal and labour matters and other contingencies includes provisions for litigation in progress and other labour contingencies, which are related essentially with: • Requests for the refund of tariff increases paid by industrial consumers of the brazilian subsidiaries EDP São Paulo and EDP Espírito Santo in the amount of 18,720 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 20,773 thousand Euros). These requests result from the application of Administrative Orders DNAEE no. 38 of 27 February 1986 and no. 45 of 4 March 1986 - Plano Cruzado, effective from March to November; and • The remaining legal litigation correspond mainly to indemnities for damages allegedly suffered in consequence of interruption of electricity supply, power accidents and fires. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 697| | | | | | Provisions for customer guarantees under current operations include essentially provisions for commercial losses. Provisions for dismantling and decommissioning includes: (i) 47,520 thousand Euros of the dismantling Trillo nuclear power plant; (ii) 423,052 thousand Euros of the dismantling of wind and solar farms (replacement of sites and land in its original state), mainly, in Europe (352,851 thousand Euros), North America (180,194 thousand Euros), Asia-Pacific (56,482 thousand Euros) and South America (104,237 thousand Euros); and (iii) 140,456 thousand Euros of the dismantling and environmental requalification of thermal electro- producing centers in Spain (73,221 thousand Euros) and Portugal (67,235 thousand Euros). As part of its energy transition strategy, the Group has been progressing in the dismantling and reconversion of its coal-fired power plants. This commitment is evidenced by the ongoing process at the Sines coal-fired power plant in Portugal, which is already being dismantled and has plans to convert into hydrogen. In this regard, a request was also made during the year 2023 for authorisation from the Spanish electricity system operator (Red Eléctrica) to close the Aboño I coal-fired power plant, as well as the remaining EDP coal-fired power plants in Spain (Soto 3 and Los Barrios). EDP has been investing in the adaptation of these facilities in Spain (Abono, Soto, and Los Barrios) to new technologies, specifically in the creation of Hydrogen and Storage Hubs (see note 49). These provisions were calculated based on the present value of future liabilities and recorded against an increase in the respective tangible fixed assets, which are amortized over the average useful life of these assets. The calculation of these provisions was based on the following discount and inflation rates: | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Europe | North America | South America | Asia-Pacific Discount Rate | [2.11% - 6.70%] | [3.32% - 10.12%] | [12.56% - 12.64%] | [1.59% - 4.04%] Inflation Rate | [1.98% - 3.25%] | [2.00% - 3.30%] | [3.59% - 3.65%] | [1.32% - 3.42%] Provision for other liabilities and charges On 3 May 2018, it has come to EDP’s knowledge (through a DGEG’s letter) that the CMEC final adjustment had been officially approved, according to ERSE’s proposal, in the amount of 154 million Euros. EDP reflected this reality in its financial statements as of 31 December 2018, recognising a provision by the difference in the final adjustment amounts already recognised in the Group's revenues. On 31 December 2023 EDP maintains the provision in its accounts (see note 4). On 20 October 2020, EDP Produção became aware, by letter sent by DGEG, of the dispatch of the SEE regarding the approval of the revisibility for the year 2015, which is deducted in the amount of 72.9 million Euros the predicted amount of 135.6 million Euros. In this respect, the EDP Group has registered a provision in the amount of 72.9 million Euros, and carried out an administrative appeal against the order of SEE on 19 January 2021. However, notwithstanding EDP Produção's well-founded beliefs on the possibility of providing a bank guarantee or security, instead of the payment of the fine, the TCRS determined the payment of EDP Produção, which occurred on 20 October 2021 (see note 4). Following the Group's decision to divestment from wind farms in Colombia, a provision in the amount of 118,576 thousand Euros was recognised (see note 4). In their ordinary course of business, EDP Group subsidiaries are involved in several litigations and contingencies (of possible risk) of administrative, civil, tax, labour and other natures. These legal, arbitration or other actions, involve customers, suppliers, employees and administrative authorities. In EDP Group and its legal advisors' opinion, the risk of a loss in these actions is not probable, and the outcome will not affect on a material way its consolidated financial position. The processes whose losses were considered as possible, do not require the recognition of provisions and are periodically reassessed. The detail of possible contingencies is analised as follows: | | | | ---|---|---|---|--- | Group | Company Thousand Euros | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Administrative and Civil | 449,344| 396,009| 34| 330 Fiscal | 1,370,463| 862,930| 345,792| 10,732 Other | 105,472| 115,572| 2,791| 2,791 | 1,925,279| 1,374,511| 348,617| 13,853 The events and possible contingencies more relevant in Portugal, are as follows: i) On 29 July 2016, the Portuguese Competition Authority (AdC) has notified EDP S.A. and EDP Comercial, S.A. with a notice for alleged violation of competition laws, regarding the process of the commercial campaign done in partnership with Modelo Continente, designated as "Plano EDP Continente". This was an occasional campaign, limited to two years, which was one of several campaigns usually performed by several other market agents. On 5 May 2017, EDP S.A. and EDP Comercial, S.A. received AdC final decision which applied a fee of 2.9 million Euros to EDP S.A. and 25.8 million Euros to EDP Comercial. EDP Group is convinced that this campaign has brought real benefits to consumers and competition in markets and that no transgression has been committed. The companies filed their appeal on 19 June 2017 to TCRS. By this court was determined a court hearing that EDP and EDP Comercial would provide security in the amount of 50% of the fine imposed on them by the AdC, and on 19 June 2020, EDP and EDP Comercial provided surety bond and surety in the amounts of 1.5 million Euros and 12.9 million Euros, respectively. On 30 September 2020, a judgment was issued by the TCRS, which maintained the conviction of the two companies of the EDP Group, as well as Sonae Group's Companies, having also reduced fines by 10%. Fines were determined at 2.6 million | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 698| | | | | | Euros and 23.2 million Euros for EDP and EDP Comercial, respectively. On 30 October 2020, EDP and EDP Comercial appealed the condemnatory sentence handed down by the TCRS, to the Lisbon Court of Appeal. On 6 April 2021, the parties were notified of the judgment handed down by the Court of Appeal of Lisbon, through which it decreed the suspension of the proceedings and the preliminary referral of the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, under the foreseen mechanism Article 267(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The case was filed at the Registry of the Court of Justice on 26 May 2021, with written observations having been submitted by the parties on the questions referred by the Lisbon Court of Appeal. Following the oral trial hearing at the Court of Justice of the European Union held on 9 November 2022, EDP and EDP Comercial were notified on 2 March 2023 of the Advocate General's conclusions. The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union was delivered on 26 October 2023, following the referral questions raised by the Lisbon Court of Appeal, referring the decision on some of the questions to the latter. In this regard, EDP and EDP Comercial submitted, to the Lisbon Court of Appeal, on 8 March 2024, a request to challenge procedural irregularities of the aforementioned judgment, as well as requests for appeal to the Constitutional Court. The alleged irregularities were dismissed by the Lisbon Court of Appeal in a judgment on 18 March 2024. Subsequently, on 3 April 2024, EDP and EDP Comercial filed appeals with the Constitutional Court. On 29 April 2024, the Constitutional Court admitted to consider one of the invoked unconstitutionality claims and, on the other hand, rejected the others unconstitutionality claims. On 17 May 2024, a complaint was submitted to the Constitutional Court Conference regarding the partial dismissal of the appeals, which was denied by a ruling on 22 August 2024. On 11 June 2024, allegations were presented regarding the admitted unconstitutionality, and the Constitutional Court by judgement on 2 October 2024, declared the respective non-unconstitutionality. On 11 October 2024 a request was submitted to the Court of Competition Regulation and Supervision, being issued a decision on 10 December 2024. According to a notification on 16 January 2025, the Public Prosecutor's Office appealed the decision to the Lisbon Court of Appeal, and EDP S.A. and EDP Comercial submitted their respective response on 4 February 4 2025, awaiting the pronouncement of this Court. ii) On 18 September 2019, the Portuguese Competition Authority (AdC) has notified EDP Produção, with a notice for alleged violation of competition laws, based on the alleged abusive behavior of dominant market position in the secondary regulation band. The contingency amounted to 48 million Euros, was reduced to 40 million Euros by the Lisbon Court of Appeal, with the risk being assessed as possible. According to the decision of the Constitutional Court Conference on 11 July 2024 notified on 15 July 2024, the complaint submitted on 21 June 2024 was dismissed. On 25 July 2024, EDP Produção submitted a request to the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court. By order dated on 2 October 2024, the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court determined the return to EDP Produção of the amount deposited as payment of the fine that exceeds the amount fixed by the Lisbon Court of Appeal, plus the amount related to probable costs. On 25 July 2024, EDP Produção submitted an application to the Court of Competition Regulation and Supervision. On 14 November 2024, the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court issued an order regarding a part of the request submitted by EDP Produção on 25 July 2024. EDP Produção filed an appeal to the Lisbon Court of Appeal on 3 December 2024, and a decision is awaited. A decision from the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court is also awaited regarding the other part of the request submitted by EDP Produção on 25 July 2024. The EDP Group continues to believe that EDP Produção did not engage in any abuse of dominant position, having acted strictly in accordance with the legal framework in force. Nevertheless, EDP Produção has already been judicially obliged to pay the fine to which it was condemned by the AdC (see note 4). Still in the context of this process, on 29 September 2021, EDP Produção was cited in the class action filed by the IUS Omnibus Association based on the alleged abusive behavior of dominant market position in the secondary regulation band market between the beginning of 2009 and the end of 2013, requesting, on behalf of the allegedly harmed consumers, compensation in the amount of 94.8 million Euros, according to one of the estimates of the AdC within the scope of the PRC/2016/05 process. EDP Produção submitted its respective response within the established legal deadline. An order was issued in which the court decided, among other things, to suspend the proceedings until a final decision is made in the administrative offense case no. 309/19.0YUSTR. By judgment of 23 March 2023, adopted following an appeal by EDP Produção, the Lisbon Court of Appeal confirmed the decision to suspend the proceedings. EDP Produção filed a common appeal and an exceptional appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice, which dismissed the appeals by judgment of 15 September 2023. iii) On 27 October 2009 and 5 January 2010 the EDP Group was subject to two tax settlement notes on the taxable profit of the EDP tax group for the years 2005 and 2006 which include the effect of the correction to the taxable amount of the EDP Internacional SGPS, in the total amount of 591 million Euros, associated with the tax treatment given to a capital loss identified in the liquidation of its subsidiary, whose main asset consisted of stakes in operational subsidiaries in Brazil, namely EDP Espírito Santo and Enersul. As of 31 December 2024 the value of the tax contingency associated with the aforementioned correction amounts to 179 million Euros, plus late payment interest. Based on the analysis carried out and the technical opinions gathered, including obtaining a favorable binding opinion from the tax authorities regarding the nature of the operation in question in the year of the liquidation, it was concluded that the identified capital loss is tax deductible for Corporate Income Tax under no 2 of article 75 of the Corporate Income Tax Code in force at the time of the facts (current article 81). Considering this and understanding that the framing of the operation in question complied with the tax legislation in force at the time of the facts, EDP Group challenged the legality of the additional assessment of | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 699| | | | | | IRC and filed a legal challenge in Court. In 2018 EDP was notified of the verdict that deemed the correction to the taxable amount made to EDP Internacional SGPS illegal, with the Tax Authority appealing this judicial decision. In March 2024 EDP was notified of the judgment rendered by the Central Administrative Court South (“TCA Sul”), which revoked the verdict of the first instance court regarding this correction. EDP disagreed with the decision of the Central Administrative Court South, and has therefore initiated various legal means at its disposal to contest this decision. In December 2024, a new ruling was issued by the Central Administrative Court South, determining that the case be sent again to the Court of First Instance for a reassessment of the facts. EDP remains confident about the success of this litigation and is convinced that the tax framework was correct according to the applicable legislation, prudently classifying the contingency as possible at of this date. The possible contingencies more relevant in Brazil, are as follows: • Investco is involved in a legal action of a civil nature mostly related with indemnity claims resulting from the filling of the hydroelectric reservoir, in the amount of 15,671 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 15,895 thousand Euros); • There is a public civil action filed against EDP São Paulo and EDP Espírito Santo by ADIC – Associação de Defesa dos Interesses Colectivos, claiming a compensation arising from a tariff readjustment on part A from 43 concessionaires. The estimated value attributable to EDP São Paulo and EDP Espirito Santo amounts to 90,403 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 91,618 thousand Euros); • EDP São Paulo is a party to a lawsuit related to the COFINS (Contribution for social security financing) from 1993 to 1995 in joint litigation with AES Eletropaulo, where is discussed the application of the tax amnesty introduced by the Provisional Measures paragraphs 1858-6 and 1858-8, granted to taxpayers who did not collect COFINS, considering it improper. In the trial of 2nd Instance, was partially confirmed the right to amnesty, and applied the Decree-Law 1,025/69. The updated amount as at 31 December 2024 is 12,655 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 15,165 thousand Euros); • EDP São Paulo and EDP Espírito Santo have administrative and judicial actions regarding tax compensations not ratified by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Bureau, which: (i) are protected by judicially recognised credits (IRPJ - Corporate tax income and CSLL - Social Contribution on net profits) and (ii) that result from tax contributions in 2001 of IRPJ, CSLL, PIS (Social integration programme) and COFINS considered to be excessive as a consequence of the application of "Parecer COSIT 26/2002" (Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment - RTE) published by the Brazilian Tax Authorities. According to this opinion, the amounts resulting from tariffs updated under RTE should be recognised and taxed only as of 2002. During 2021 there was a reduction in the amount due to the success obtained in one of the administrative proceedings, cancelling the debt collection.

These loans bear interest at market rates, which are fixed or with reference rate indexed, such as Euribor and SOFR, plus a market spread. Given the long-term maturity, for fixed rate loans fair value has been calculated based on the discounted cash flows at market interest rates at the reporting date. According to IFRS 13 requirements, EDP Group established the way it obtains the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. The levels used are defined as follows: | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | Dec 2024 | Dec 2023 Thousand Euros | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 Financial assets Equity instruments at fair value through: | | | | | | Other comprehensive income (see note 23) | 8,343| 87,553| 20,200| 14,400| 91,610| 22,521 Profit or loss (see note 23) | —| —| 99,182| —| —| 76,221 Tariff deficit at fair value through other comprehensive income (see note 27)| —| 659| —| —| 114,008| — Amounts receivable from concessions-IFRIC 12 at fair value through profit or loss (see note 27)| —| 584,865| —| —| 1,365,311| — Investment property (see note 24) | —| 20,101| —| —| 25,344| — Derivative financial instruments (see note 43) | —| 1,064,978| —| —| 1,117,525| — | 8,343| 1,758,156| 119,382| 14,400| 2,713,798| 98,742 Financial liabilities Derivative financial instruments (see note 43) | —| 1,428,486| —| —| 1,871,967| — | —| 1,428,486| —| —| 1,871,967| — The market value of the amounts of tariff deficit at fair value through other comprehensive income is calculated based on the cash flows associated with these assets, discounted at rates which, at the reporting date, better reflect the assets risk considering the average term of the assets. The Amounts receivable from concessions - IFRIC 12 at fair value through profit or loss are valued based in the methodology of the Value of Replacement as New (VNR). This method requires that each asset is valued, at current prices, for all the expenses needed for its replacement by equivalent asset that performs the same services and has the same capacity as the existing asset. The valuation for each asset is based on (i) Data Bank of Referential Prices - which is defined in the Tariff Adjustment Procedures - PRORET; or (ii) Data Bank of Prices from the Distribution company - which is formed based on the company's own information; or (iii) Referential Budget – that corresponds to the calculation by comparison of market data, relating to other assets with similar characteristics.

Regarding the liability to dismantle and restore the land where solar and wind farms are located to its original condition, as at 31 December 2024, the provisions amount to 423,052 thousand Euros. Additionally, the provision to dismantle the Trillo nuclear power plant amounts to 47,520 thousand Euros (see notes 2 n) and 37) . Environmental income recognised in 2024 relates to the sale of environmental waste of 3,407 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 3,158 thousand Euros) and the sale of by-products of 3,002 thousand Euros (31 December 2023: 2,829 thousand Euros). EDP’s prioritization of investment in renewable generation started in 2006, through the anticipation of major trends in the energy market and the support to the vision of a society capable of reducing CO2 emissions, by replacing thermal with renewable energy, decentralizing generation, promoting smart grids, energy storage and encouraging the demand for renewable electricity. More recently, under the recent Updated Strategic Plan 2023-2026, EDP Group reinforced its ambition even further to reach Net Zero by 2040 by including our Scope 3 emissions in our targets. With a new baseline year set for 2020, EDP aims to reach net-zero greenhouse emissions across the value chain by 2040, with ambitious mid-term targets by 2030. These targets have been approved by SBTi under the Net Zero Standard. Considering the risks related to climate change and the commitments established under the Paris Agreement, EDP Group has decided, since 2019, to achieve science-based targets. The last updated occurred in 2022, with a baseline year set for 2020, EDP aims to reach net-zero emissions across the value chain by 2040, with ambitious mid-term targets by 2030. The overall goal is to reduce 90% of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2040 vs. 2020 with near term targets by 2030. These targets have been approved by SBTi under the Net Zero Standard, in early 2023. The reflect of these commitments in terms of its impact on assets, liabilities and profit and loss are explicit in the notes to the consolidated and company financial statements. These climate commitments were recorded in EDP’s Climate Transition Plan, which was approved by a majority of votes (99.73%) in the General Meetings of shareholders held in April 2023. The proceeds of green bonds, green loans, and sustainability-linked loans contribute substantially to the implementation of EDP’s Climate Transition Plan and to reach our objectives of becoming To be coal-free by 2025, carbon neutral by 2030, and net zero by 2040. In the end of 2024, sustainable finance amounted to €21.5 billion: (1) €13.2 billion in green bonds; (2) €7.6 billion in sustainability-linked loans and (3) 0.7 billions in green loans, which represented 67% of the nominal debt. Additionally, the EBD remuneration policy establishes a fixed component and a variable component, the latest including Climate KPI in alignment with Business Plan in place (CO2 intensity reduction target, aligned with public commitments: Reduction of total scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per electricity produced by the Group, compared with 2015 baseline and renewables installed capacity). | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 723| | | | | | Finally, in the table below we mapped how the several notes to the EDP consolidated and company financial statements, are addressing the climate change matters: | | ---|---|--- Topic | Note | Content Estimates and judgements in preparing the financial statements| Note 4.

CAE/CMEC/DPH Procedure Following the enactment of the EU’s legislation package on the Internal Energy Market, long-term power purchase agreements - PPA’s (“Contratos de Produção de Energia” – CAE) ceased to be compatible with the EU law within Portugal’s “single buyer” legal framework. Portugal’s Decree-Law no. 240/2004, dated 27 December 2004 enacted within the liberalization of the Portuguese energy sector, established the early termination of the PPA entered into in 1996, while approving the methodology for such termination and the compensation to energy producers. The above referred methodology was subject to the European Commission’s (EC) prior approval, expressed in the Directive concerning State aid N161/2004, deeming it effective and strictly necessary. Additionally, the enactment of the Decree-Law by the government was authorized by the Portuguese Parliament. According to the approved methodology, both EDP and Portugal’s national energy grid - REN (Rede Eléctrica Nacional, S.A.) signed the PPA early termination agreements in 2005, enforced on the 1 July 2007, amended earlier that year and previously ratified by the head of energy appointed by the Portuguese Government. The provisions of the 2005 PPA termination agreements, dated 8 March 2008, established that the Government, REN and EDP Produção entered concession agreements formally embodying EDP’s right of use over the Public Hydro Domain (“Domínio Público Hídrico” – DPH) until the end of the operational life of the hydroelectric plants subject to Costs of Maintenance for the Contractual Balance mechanism (“Custos de Manutenção do Equilíbrio Contratual” – CMEC). The Decree-Law 226-A/2007, dated 31 May 2007, introduced a new obligation for EDP, unforeseen in the previous 2004 legislation or in the 2005 termination agreements. This consisted of the payment by EDP of an amount reflecting the “economic and financial balance” per power plant. According to this legal framework, and following assessments carried out by two independent financial institutions appointed by the Government, EDP Produção was ordered to pay 759 million Euros, for the extension of its right of use over the DPH, including approximately 55 million Euros for the Hydro Resources Tax. In 2012, a complaint was placed to the EC and the Portuguese authorities at DCIAP-Central Department of Criminal Investigation and Prosecution (“Departamento Central de Investigação e Ação Penal”) related to (i) the methodology adopted for the early termination of the PPAs and the implementation of the CMEC mechanism and; (ii) EDP’s right of use over the DPH. As a result, the EC addressed a clarification request to the Portuguese Government over the early termination of the PPAs, and its replacement by the CMEC framework. The EC’s ruling came in September 2013 establishing that the compensation attributed to EDP Produção did not exceed the amount required to reimburse the investment costs to be recovered throughout the operational life of the related assets. In addition, it certified the execution of the CMEC framework in line with the terms notified to the EC, approved in 2004. Accordingly, the EC has at this stage concluded its investigation regarding the early termination of the PPAs. Having found no evidence of non-compliance with the framework in force in Portugal (approved by the EC itself in 2004) or at the EU level, it decided not to pursue an in-depth investigation on the matter. Separately, the EC decided to undertake an in-depth investigation in September 2013 related to the right of use over the DPH matter. These in- depth proceedings were formally concluded in May 2017 with the EC’s ruling that EDP’s pay was in line with market conditions. It ruled that the financial methodology used to determine the price to be paid by EDP for the right of use over the DPH was appropriate and resulted in a fair market price, expressly formulating as unfounded the accusations of underappreciation or inaccurate financial calculation methodology related to the 759 million Euros price. On 2 June 2017, EDP was made aware of the investigation by DCIAP ongoing since 2012 related to the amounts to EDP for the early termination of the PPAs and the right of use over the DPH. On that date, Portuguese authorities carried out searches at EDP, REN (national grid) and at a consulting firm. DCIAP issued a public release on the ongoing investigation, the nature of the alleged facts related to active and passive corruption, in addition to alleged economic participation in business transactions involving executive members of EDP’s Board, as well as placing former company directors under investigation. | | | | | | | | | ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | EDP Integrated Annual ReportFinancial Statements and Notes| | | | | | | [Index](edp-2024-12-31.xhtml#ib920c2715747484282aee3cc99126fd4_6509)| Part IV| 724| | | | | | On 6 July 2020, the Public Prosecutor’s Office issued a restraining order suspending both the executive chair António Mexia and the executive board member João Manso Neto, with the investigation at the inquiry stage. This resulted in the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Director’s decision to appoint then Chief Financial Officer Miguel Stilwell d’ Andrade as interim Chair, for the duration of the impediment of the suspended members. On 13 July 2020, EDP was notified by the Portuguese Authorities to appoint a legal representative at the DCIAP for questioning and subsequently placed as a defendant in relation to the hiring of the former Energy Under-Secretary Artur Trindade’s father. This legal case was pursued separately from the PPA/CMEC proceeding and remains under investigation. On 30 November 2020, both suspended members of the Executive Board of Directors gave their formal notice to EDP and informed of their unavailability to be re-appointed to their term in office. On 19 of January 2021, the company held an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting appointing a new management team to the Executive Board of Directors for the 2021-2023 term-of-office. As a recent development to this case, Portugal’s Public Prosecutor’s Office released a statement on 28 October 2024, issuing an accusation to six defendants including former EDP’s EBD members António Mexia and João Manso Neto. This relates to facts occurred between 2006 and 2014, in relation to the PPA-CMEC transition, notably the alleged overevaluation of the CMEC, in addition to “(…) the award of the Alqueva and Pedrogão dams to (…) EDP without a public tender and also to the payment of a chair at Columbia University to a former minister.”. In this statement, the Public Prosecutor’s Office mentioned “the State incurred a loss of over 840 million Euros, requiring the return of this amount relating to the loss of assets to the defendants and to EDP Gestão de Produção de Energia and EDP.” EDP is not accused and is not a defendant in this case, and no crime was attributed to EDP on these matters. EDP is targeted in the accusation through the Public Prosecutor’s Office request regarding the loss of EDP and EDP Produção’s assets, pursuant to the “Loss of product and benefits” mechanism in Portugal’s criminal law which establishes that assets of third parties benefiting from an illicit act, may be declared lost in favour of the State. EDP remains adamant of no wrongdoing, reaffirming the belief of the absence of irregularities in this process. Of note, is the fact that the material aspects referred here were covered in depth by national and supra- national institutions, notably the EC as abovementioned. EDP obtained no undue or illicit economic benefit, either with regards to the PPA-CMEC transition or with the extension of the DPH. In relation to the awarding of concessions for the exploration of the Alqueva and Pedrógão hydroelectric plants this process fully followed all legal and contractual terms in force. EDP remains fully committed behind the pursuit of its corporate purpose and the fulfilment of its shareholders, employees, clients, and remaining stakeholders’ highest expectations. EDP is entirely invested in the delivery of its strategic goals with no impact expected to its consolidated financial statements resulting from the above. 51. Operating Segments The Group develops a set of regulated and liberalised activities in the energy sector, with special emphasis in generation, distribution and supply of electricity. The Executive Board of Directors regularly reviews segmental reports, using Operating Information to assess and release each business operating performance, as well as to allocate resources.
