The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility - Extremely Brilliant Source (ESRF-EBS) is a facility upgrade allowing its scientific users to take advantage of the first high-energy 4th generation storage ring light source. In December 2018, after 30 years of operation, the beam stopped for a 12-month shutdown to dismantle the old storage ring and to install the new X-ray source. On 25th August 2020, the user program restarted with beam parameters very close to nominal values. Since then beam is back for the users at full operation performance and with an excellent reliability. This paper reports on the present operation performance of the source, highlighting the ongoing and planned developments and the sustainability efforts.
