According to information available to the Company, as at the date of publication of these financial statements, the State Treasury was the only shareholder holding at least 5% of the total number of votes at the General Meeting of PGE S.A.

1.2 Information on the PGE Capital Group

The Capital Group of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. consists of the parent company, i.e. PGE S.A., and 79 consolidated subsidiaries. Consolidation covers also 2 entities constituting so-called joint operations, 5 associates and 1 jointly controlled entity. For additional information about subordinated entities included in the consolidated financial statements please refer to note 1.3.

These consolidated financial statements of the PGE Capital Group cover the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 March 2024, and include comparative data for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023, and as at 31 December 2023. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in yearly financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, as approved for publication on 3 April 2024.

The financial statements of all subordinated entities were prepared for the same reporting period as the financial statements of the parent company, using consistent accounting principles. An exception to this rule is companies acquired in the course of the financial year that prepared financial data for the period as of their acquisition by the PGE Group.

The major object of the PGE Capital Group is conducting business activities in the following areas:

  • generation of electricity,
  • distribution of electricity, including in overhead contact lines,
  • wholesale and retail trade in electricity, energy origin rights, CO2 emission allowances and gas,
  • generation and distribution of heat,

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

provision of other services related to the aforementioned areas.

Business activities are conducted under appropriate concessions granted to the particular entities making up the composition of the PGE Capital Group. The PGE Capital Groups conducts business activities primarily in the territory of Poland.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that the major companies of the Group will continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the reporting date.

As at 31 March 2024, PGE Obrót S.A. reports negative equity of PLN (1,471) million. This is mainly the result of a net loss of PLN (2,458) million in 2023, which, in turn, was mainly due to regulatory changes in the retail electricity trading market and the approval by the President of the ERO of a household tariff that does not fully cover the cost of energy purchases. PGE Obrót S.A. has access to financing provided by PGE S.A., therefore the going concern assumption for this company is justified. The impact of regulatory changes on the operations of the PGE Capital Group is described in note 26.4 to these financial statements.

In 2021 ENESTA sp. z o.o. (now ENESTA sp. z o.o. under restructuring) terminated unfavourable agreements for the supply of electricity and natural gas. In 2022, some counterparties took their claims to court. After unsuccessful attempts to reach an agreement with the counterparties, ENESTA filed for restructuring proceedings. On 21 June 2022, the restructuring (recovery) proceedings were initiated. At the end of 2022 and in February 2023, verdicts unfavourable to ENESTA were given in the pending proceedings. The verdicts established the existence and validity of agreements for the sale of electricity and natural gas. At the end of 2022, a provision of PLN 37 million was created for onerous agreements in connection with the necessity to continue the performance of the aforementioned sales agreements. In addition, provisions were created for potential litigation in connection with reserve sales carried out by the seller under an official order in 2022, in the amount of PLN 56 million. During the course of 2023, all provisions for onerous agreements were reversed. Sales revenue is invoiced in accordance with final court verdicts. In September 2023, ENESTA's capital was increased by PLN 32 million and in December 2023 by a further PLN 34 million. All shares in the increased capital were acquired by PGE Obrót S.A.

As at 31 March 2024, ENESTA's assets, capital and liabilities amount to PLN 108 million and its equity amounts to PLN (134) million.

Apart from the issue described above, as at the date of the approval of these financial statements for publication, no circumstances were identified that would indicate any threat to the major PGE Group companies continuing as going concerns within 12 months from the reporting date.

Changes in the accounting policy

The same accounting principles (policy) and methods of calculation have been followed in these financial statements as in the latest annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read jointly with the audited consolidated financial statements of the PGE Group for the year ended 31 December 2023, as approved for publication on 3 April 2024.

2.1 Statement of compliance

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 29 March 2018 on current and periodic information provided by issuers of securities and the conditions for recognising as equivalent information required by the laws of a non-member state (Journal of Laws of 2018, items 512 and 685).

The International financial reporting standards comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC")).

2.2 Presentation and functional currency

The parent company's functional currency and the presentation currency of these consolidated financial statements is the Polish zloty. All amounts are in PLN million, unless indicated otherwise.

At the reporting date, for the purpose of translation of items denominated in currencies other than PLN, the following exchange rates were applied:

31 March 2024 31 December 2023 31 March 2023
USD 3.9886 3.9350 4.2934
EUR 4.3009 4.3480 4.6755

2.3 New standards and interpretations published, not yet effective

Standard Description of changes Effective date
IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral
Accounts
The principles of accounting and disclosure for regulatory deferral

In accordance with the decision of the
European Commission, the approval

The PGE Capital Groups intends to accept the aforementioned standards and changes to standards and interpretations as published by the International Accounting Standards Board, but not effective as at the reporting date, after they have entered into force. The above regulations will not have a material impact on the future financial statements of the PGE Capital Group.

2.4 The Management Board's professional judgement and estimates

In the process of applying the accounting policy to the foregoing issues, the most important element, besides accounting estimates, was the management's professional opinion, which influences the values disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, including the additional explanatory notes. The assumptions of these estimates are based on the Management Board's best knowledge of current and future activities and events in the respective areas.

Detailed information on the adopted assumptions is presented below or in the relevant notes.

  • In previous reporting periods, the Group recognised impairment write-downs of assets, particularly property, plant and equipment. In the current reporting period, the Group does not identify any indication of the necessity of impairment testing or reversal of write-downs recognised in previous periods. The estimate of the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is based on a number of significant assumptions, the future realisation of which is uncertain and for a significant part beyond the control of the PGE Capital Group. The Group has adopted what it believes to be the most appropriate amounts and values; nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that the realisation of particular assumptions will differ from those adopted by the Group.
  • Provisions are liabilities whose amount or timing of payment is uncertain. During the reporting period, the Group changed its estimates of the reasonableness or amount of certain provisions.
  • Uncertainties related to tax settlements are described in note 24 to these consolidated financial statements.
  • The Group makes significant estimates in respect of recognised contingent liabilities. Relevant details are set out in note 23 to these financial statements.
  • The valuation of financial instruments results from a number of assumptions and estimates based on data available at the time the financial statements were being prepared. Changes in these assumptions and estimates may affect the future financial statements of the PGE Capital Group.
  • Due to the crisis situation on the electricity market, a number of legal regulations came into force in 2022, which made it necessary on the part of the PGE Capital Group to make estimates of revenue and costs in the field of compensation related to the purchase of coal, compensation and price adjustments resulting from the Act for households, the write-down for the Price Difference Payment Fund resulting from the Emergency Measures in 2023 Act. A detailed description of these estimates can be found in notes 26.2 and 26.4 to these financial statements.
  • Some of the sales revenue described in note 6.1 to these consolidated financial statements are invoiced based on cyclical readings of metering and billing systems. This results in the necessity to re-estimate sales revenue in respect of supplies for which the PGE Capital Group does not have meter readings at the reporting date. Revenue from sales on the electricity balancing market is subject to adjustments after the end of the reporting period. The final value of the sale or purchase cost of electricity is determined up to 14 months after the end of the relevant delivery period.

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

3. Changes in accounting principles and data presentation

New standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2024

The accounting principles used in drawing up these financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the separate financial statements for the year 2023, with the exceptions presented below. The changes to the IFRSs referred to below were applied in these financial statements as of their respective effective dates. The changes listed below did not have any material impact on the presented and disclosed financial information or did not apply to transactions entered into by the Group:

  • Changes to IAS 1 changes relate to the presentation of financial statements classification of liabilities as current and non-current.
  • Changes to IFRS 16 changes relate to the manner of valuation of liabilities under sale and leaseback transactions.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any of the standards, interpretations or changes that have been published but are not yet effective in accordance with the European Union regulations.

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

In the current period, the PGE Capital Group has spun off a new Gas-Fired Power Generation segment. In previous periods, the assets and performance of this segment were recognised and analysed under Other Activities. The comparative figures presented in notes 5.1 and 10 have been restated accordingly.

4. Fair value hierarchy

Derivative instruments

The Group measures derivatives at fair value using valuation models for financial instruments based on publicly available exchange rates, interest rates, discount curves in particular currencies (applicable also for commodities whose prices are denominated in these currencies) obtained from information platforms and active markets. The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on discounted future cash flows related from concluded transactions, calculated on the basis of the difference between the forward price and the transaction price. The valuation of IRS transactions is the difference in the discounted interest flows of a fixed rate stream and a floating rate stream. The valuation of CCIRS transactions is the difference in the discounted flows paid and received in two different currencies. Forward exchange rates are not modelled as a separate risk factor, but are derived from the spot rate and the corresponding forward interest rate for the foreign currency in relation to PLN.

Future developments in interest rates, exchange rates or EUA price levels other than those projected by the Group will have an impact on future financial statements.

In the category of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the Group recognises financial instruments related to trade in CO2 emission allowances – currency and commodity forwards, coal purchase and sales contracts, and commodity SWAPs (Level 2).

Additionally, the Group presents the CCIRS derivative hedging instrument for foreign exchange (EUR/PLN) and the CCIRS interest rate and the IRS transactions hedging a floating rate in PLN with a fixed rate in PLN (Level 2).

5. Information on the business segments

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

The companies of the PGE Capital Group conduct their activities on the basis of relevant concessions, including in particular concessions for the generation, trading and distribution of electricity, generation, transmission and distribution of heat, granted by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, as well as concessions for the mining of lignite from deposits granted by the Minister of the Environment. Concessions are generally granted for periods from 10 to 50 years.

The concessions for lignite mining, electricity and heat generation as well as electricity and heat distribution have corresponding assets allocated to them, as shown in the detailed information on the operating segments. In connection with the electricity and heat concessions, the PGE Group incurs annual fees dependent on revenue. In the case of the activities related to the mining of lignite, the Company incurs extraction fees dependent on applicable rates and mining volumes, as well as mining usage fees.

The PGE Capital Group presents information on its operating segments for the current and comparative reporting periods in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The division of the reporting system of the PGE Capital Group is based on its operating segments:

  • Renewable Power Generation includes electricity generation in pumped storage hydro power plants and from renewable sources.
  • Gas-Fired Power Generation includes electricity generation from gas-fired sources.
  • Conventional Power Generation comprises lignite exploration and extraction, electricity generation from conventional sources, as well as related ancillary activities.
  • Heat Generation comprises the generation of heat and electricity in cogeneration sources as well the transmission and distribution of heat.
  • Distribution comprises the management of local distribution networks and the transmission of electricity through these networks.
  • Railway Power Engineering primarily comprises the distribution and sale of electricity to railway operators and rail-focused customers, the sale of fuels and the maintenance and upgrading of the contact lines network, along with other electricity services.
  • Trade comprises the sale and purchase of electricity and natural gas on the wholesale market, trade in CO2 emission allowances and property rights resulting from certificates of origin, the purchase and supply of fuels, the sale of electricity and the provision of services to end customers.
  • Circular Economy comprises the management of combustion by-products.
  • Other Activities include the provision of services by subsidiaries for the benefit of the Group, e.g. organisation of financing acquisition, provision of IT, transport services and investments in start-ups.

The organisation and management of the PGE Capital Group divided into segments based on the type of products and services offered. Each segment constitutes a strategic business unit offering different products and serving different markets. The allocation of particular entities to operating segments is presented in note 1.3 to these consolidated financial statements. The PGE Capital Group settles transactions between segments as if they concerned unrelated entities – on an arm's length basis. Analysing the results of particular operating segments, the management of the Group pays attention first of all to achieved EBITDA.

In the current period, the PGE Capital Group has spun off a new Gas-Fired Power Generation segment. In previous periods, the assets and performance of this segment were recognised and analysed under Other Activities. The comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

Seasonality of the business segments' activities

The main factors influencing demand for electricity and heat include atmospheric factors such as air temperature, wind power, precipitation, socio-economic factors such as the number of energy consumers, prices of energy carriers, economic development and GDP, as well as technological factors such as technological progress and product manufacturing technologies. Each of these factors influences the technical and economic conditions for generation and distribution of energy carriers, and thus affects the results achieved by the companies of the PGE Capital Group.

The level of electricity sales throughout the year is variable and depends primarily on the atmospheric factors such as air temperature and the length of day. Increased demand for electricity is particularly visible during the winter period, while lower demand is observed in the summer. Moreover, seasonal changes are visible among selected groups of end users. Seasonality effects are more significant for households than the industrial sector.

In the Renewable Power Generation segment, electricity is generated from environmental resources such as water, wind and sun. Meteorological conditions are an important factor affecting electricity production in this segment.

Sales of heat depend in particular on air temperature and are higher in the winter and lower in the summer.

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

Options

the PGE Capital Group

On 20 January 2017, PGE S.A. acquired from Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. a call option to purchase shares in Polimex-Mostostal S.A. The option was measured using the Black-Scholes method.

Coal swaps

PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o., in order to hedge the commodity risk related to the price of imported coal, entered into a number of transactions to hedge this risk, using commodity swaps for coal. The number and value of these transactions is correlated to the quantity and value of imported coal. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Purchase and sales contracts with physical delivery of coal

PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o. measures all of its sales and purchase contracts with physical delivery of coal at fair value using the trader-broker model.

Derivatives embedded in commercial contracts

As part of the purchased wind farms, the PGE Capital Group also acquired derivatives embedded in commercial contracts. The design of the instruments involves the delivery of the contracted capacity each day, for the duration of the contracts.

IRS transactions

The Group has active IRS transactions to hedge the interest rate on its credits and issued bonds. Their total original nominal value amounted to PLN 3,400 million (PLN 2,000 million for credits and PLN 1,400 million for bonds). In connection with the commencement of the repayment of the principal amount of certain credits, the current nominal amount of IRS transactions hedging the credits is PLN 1.125 million. To recognise these IRS transactions, the Group uses hedge accounting. The impact of hedge accounting on the revaluation reserve is presented in note 19.2 to these consolidated financial statements.

CCIRS hedging transactions

In connection with loan agreements entered into with PGE Sweden AB (publ), PGE S.A. concluded CCIRS transactions hedging the exchange rate for both the principal amount and interest. In these transactions, bankscounterparties pay PGE S.A. interest based on a fixed rate in EUR and PGE S.A. pays interest based on a fixed rate in PLN. In the consolidated financial statements, a relevant part of CCIRS transactions is treated as a hedge of bonds issued by PGE Sweden AB (publ). To recognise these CCIRS transactions, the Company uses hedge accounting.

Investment fund participation units

At the reporting date, the Company holds units in three TFI Energia S.A. sub-funds.

The State Treasury's special rights which may be exercised with respect to the companies belonging to the PGE Capital Group are specified in the Act of March 18, 2010 on special rights of a minister competent for energy affairs and their exercise with respect to certain capital companies or capital groups conducting business activities in the electricity, petrol, and gaseous fuels sectors (the consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2020, item 2173).

20.3 Provision for costs of CO2 emissions

The provision is created on the basis of the value of allowances obtainable for a fee or free of charge. Since 2020 the Group has been entitled to free allowances for heat generation only. Despite the change in the legislation regarding the timing of the CO2 emission allowances redemption obligations and the postponement of the redemption date for the year until the following September, the Group presents the provision in the short-term portion, as this liability will be settled during the course of the Group's normal operating cycle.

On 15 December 2023, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office issued a decision approving the electricity tariff for customers in tariff group G, for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.

The approved tariff does not fully cover the costs of purchasing electricity resulting from previously concluded purchase contracts, property rights and the costs of regulated activities. Accordingly, on 31 December 2023, the company established a provision for onerous contracts with customers in Gx tariff groups in 2024. The provision was estimated in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, according to which unavoidable costs of contract fulfilment include both variable costs (energy, property rights) and the company's own costs related to providing services to Gx customers and incurred by PGE Obrót S.A., exclusive of general administrative expenses.

As at 31 March 2024, the provision amounted to PLN 56 million (PLN 74 million in the comparative period).

TOTAL CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 860 1,177

Contingent return of grants from environmental funds

The liabilities represent the value of possible future reimbursements of financing received by the PGE Capital Group companies from environmental and developmental funds for certain investment projects. The received financing will have to be returned if investment projects for which they were granted do not bring the expected effect.

Liabilities related to legal actions

In connection with the sale of shares in PGE EJ1 sp. z o.o. to the State Treasury, which took place in 2021, and in accordance with the concluded Agreement regulating the liability of the existing Shareholders for the costs of the dispute with Worley Parsons, PGE S.A. may be obliged to cover the costs of the dispute in the maximum amount of PLN 98 million if the dispute is lost. Therefore, for the purpose of determining the fair value of the payment received, the probability of losing the dispute was estimated. As a result, an amount of PLN 59 million was recognised in contingent liabilities and an amount of PLN 39 million in short-term provisions.

Liabilities also represent the value of litigation in the amount of PLN 32 million arising from the realisation of investments in PGE GiEK S.A., the Turów Power Plant branch.

Bank guarantee liabilities

These liabilities represent sureties issued by PGE Capital Group companies for bank guarantees provided as a deposit to secure exchange transactions resulting from the membership in the Warsaw Commodity Clearing House.

Perpetual usufruct of land

Contingent liabilities for perpetual usufruct of land are related to the updated annual fees for perpetual usufruct of land. The Branches of PGE GiEK S.A. filed appeals against received decisions to the Local Government Appeal Boards. The value of the contingent liability was measured as the difference between the discounted sum of the updated fees for perpetual usufruct for the whole period for which the perpetual usufruct was established and the liability for perpetual usufruct of land, which was recognised in the books on the basis of previously paid fees.

Other contingent liabilities

In August 2022, a "Cost Reimbursement Agreement" was signed between EWB1, EWB2 and EWB3 and the company carrying out the construction of the installation port. The agreement provides the works contractor with reimbursement of the costs incurred in connection with the construction of the installation port in the event that the companies do not continue with the investment project in question. The value of the contingent liability is estimated at EUR 6.5 million and PLN 10 million, and with respect to the individual companies, the reimbursement payment will be made on a 33.33% basis to each company. Accordingly, the potential value of the liability on the part of the PGE Capital Group, taking into account the shares referred to in note 1.3.2, was estimated at PLN 25.3 million.

In addition, EWB2 entered into a number of contracts related to the construction phase of the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm. The potential value of contingent liabilities on the part of the PGE Capital Group, taking into account the shares referred to in note 1.3.2, was estimated at PLN 29 million.

23.2 Other significant issues related to contingent liabilities

Non-contractual use of property

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

The PGE Capital Group established a provision for legal disputes concerning non-contractual use of real property for distribution purposes. Furthermore, the PGE Capital Group is involved in disputes that are at early stages of proceedings and it cannot be excluded that the number and value of similar disputes will increase in the future.

Contractual liabilities related to fuel purchases

According to the concluded agreements for the purchase of fuels (mainly coal and gas), the PGE Capital Group is obliged to receive a specified minimum volume of fuels and not to exceed a specified maximum level of gas consumption in particular periods. A failure to receive the minimum volumes of fuels or collection of more than the maximum volumes of fuels specified in the agreements may result in the necessity to pay relevant fees (in the case of one agreement for the purchase of the gaseous fuel, the volumes paid for, but not received, may be received within the next three contractual years).

In the current reporting period, ORLEN S.A. charged PGE Gryfino 2050 sp. z o.o. PLN 6.9 million net for failure to collect the minimum contractual quantities of gas fuel. As at the date of these financial statements, the above amount has not been paid, as clarification with the supplier regarding the calculation of the above fee is ongoing. As at 31 March 2024, the Group presents a provision of PLN 6.9 million in liabilities for this purpose.

In the opinion of the PGE Capital Group, the terms and conditions of fuel supplies to its generation facilities as described above do not differ from the terms and conditions of fuel supplies to other generators in the Polish market.

Obligations to maintain fuel stocks

Pursuant to the applicable regulations, a power company generating electricity or heat is obliged to maintain stocks of fuel in quantities sufficient to ensure continuity of supply of electricity or heat to consumers.

In previous reporting periods, there were several breaches of the requirements to maintain minimum coal stocks in PGE GiEK S.A.'s hard coal-fired power generation units (Opole Power Plant, Dolna Odra Power Plant, Rybnik Power Plant). The failure to maintain minimum levels of hard coal stocks and the problems with restoration of these stocks in the power plants were influenced by a number of factors beyond the Group's control.

According to the provisions of Article 56(1)(2) of the Energy Act, a financial penalty is imposed on anyone, who does not comply with the obligation to maintain fuel stocks, (...), or does not replenish them in time, (...). It should be pointed out that the very fact of not complying with a prohibition or obligation provided for in the Energy Act results in the imposition of a penalty by the ERO President. Pursuant to Article 56(3) of the Energy Law, the amount of the penalty may not be less than PLN 10,000 and more than 15% of the penalised entrepreneur's revenue earned in the preceding fiscal year, and if the penalty is connected with activity conducted on the basis of a licence, the amount of the penalty may not be less than PLN 10,000 and may not be higher than 15% of the penalised entrepreneur's revenue from the licensed activity in the previous fiscal year.

Until the date of the preparation of these financial statements, no penalty was imposed on PGE GiEK S.A. for failure to meet the obligation to maintain and restore coal stocks at an appropriate level. As at the date of preparation of these financial statements, the level of coal stocks was maintained at the required level.

Taking into account the above, the reasons, for not meeting and building the required minimum coal stocks by the set deadline, which cannot be attributed to the PGE Capital Group, as well as the fact that PGE GiEK S.A. has no previous record on this account, should constitute premises for appropriate mitigation of the penalty. Due to the low value of the arrears, PGE S.A. estimates that the value of a potential penalty imposed should not be material, so no provision for this is recognised in these financial statements.

Funds from an increase in the Company's share capital

On 5 April 2022, an investment agreement was concluded between PGE S.A. and the State Treasury concerning the acquisition by the State Treasury of shares issued as a result of the share capital increase. According to the provisions of the agreement, funds raised from the share issue in the amount of PLN 3.2 billion are used exclusively for investments in the area of renewable energy, decarbonisation and distribution. The manner in which funds from the issue are spent is subject to detailed reporting and auditing. On 26 April 2023, the contract was annexed due to the need to adjust the expenditure schedule to the various investment tasks. Disbursement of funds contrary to the provisions of the investment agreement may result in financial penalties or even the necessity to return the funds. The PGE Group uses the funds in accordance with the investment agreement.

"Cancellation fees" in EWB2

During 2023 the company EWB2 entered into contracts for the construction phase of the ongoing Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Farm project. There are provisions in these contracts according to which, in the event that the Final Investment Decision is not made and all concluded contracts are consequently cancelled, EWB2 will be

obliged to pay cancellation fees. Accordingly, the potential value of the liability on the part of the PGE Capital Group, taking into account the shares referred to in note 1.3.2, was estimated at EUR 207.3 million. Given the progress of work on the Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Farm project, EWB2 assesses the need to incur cancellation fees as negligible. Accordingly, no liability or contingent liability was recognised on this account.

23.3 Other court cases and disputes

Matter of compensation for share conversion

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

On 12 November 2014 Socrates Investment S.A. (an entity that purchased claims from the former shareholders of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A.) filed a lawsuit requesting that the court award it compensation in the total amount of over PLN 493 million (plus interest) for damage incurred in respect of the incorrect (in its opinion) determination of the share exchange ratio applied in the merger of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. and PGE S.A. The Company filed a response to the claim. On 15 November 2017, the Company received the plaintiff's statement – an amendment to the claim – increasing the amount claimed in the lawsuit to PLN 636 million. At present the first instance court proceedings are underway. No trial date has been set.

In addition, a similar claim was submitted by Pozwy Sp. z o.o., which had bought claims from the former shareholders of PGE Elektrownia Opole S.A. Pozwy sp. z o.o. filed a lawsuit to the Regional Court in Warsaw against PGE GiEK S.A., PGE S.A. and PwC Polska sp. z o.o. (hereinafter referred to as Respondents) requesting that the Respondents be ordered, in solidum, or jointly and severally, to pay for the benefit of Pozwy sp. z o.o. compensation in the total amount of over PLN 260 million with interest for the allegedly incorrect (in its opinion) determination of the exchange ratio of PGE Elektrownia Opole S.A. shares for PGE GiEK S.A. shares in the process of the merger of these companies. This lawsuit was served on PGE S.A. on 9 March 2017 and the deadline for filing a response to the lawsuit was set by the court at 9 July 2017. The companies PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A. submitted a response to the claim on 8 July 2017. On September 28, 2018, the District Court in Warsaw ruled in the first instance and the lawsuit by Pozwy sp. z o.o. against PGE S.A., PGE GiEK S.A. and PWC Polska sp. z o.o. was dismissed. On 8 April 2019, PGE S.A. received a copy of the appeal filed by the claimant on 7 December 2018. PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A.'s response to the appeal was prepared on 23 April 2019. The hearing was held on 21 December 2020. The Court of Appeal issued a verdict in which it overturned the appealed verdict of the District Court in its entirety and returned the case for re-examination to the District Court. On 22 January 2021 PGE S.A. together with PGE GiEK S.A. filed a complaint against the verdict to the Supreme Court, requesting that the verdict of the Court of Appeal be reversed in its entirety and the case be returned to the Court of Appeal for re-examination. At a closed session on 27 April 2021, the Supreme Court overturned the appealed verdict. Thus, the case was returned for re-examination by the Court of Appeal. In a verdict of 10 January 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the claimant's appeal and overturned the appealed verdict of the District Court and referred the case back to that court.

The PGE Group companies do not recognise the claims of Socrates Investment S.A. and Pozwy sp. z o.o. According to PGE S.A., these claims are groundless and the entire consolidation process was conducted in a fair and correct manner. The value of shares in the companies subject to consolidation had been determined by an independent company, i.e. PwC Polska sp. z o.o. Furthermore, the consolidation plan, including the ratio of converting shares in the acquired company into shares in the acquiring company was audited with respect to its correctness and reliability by an expert appointed by the court of registration, and no irregularities were identified. The court subsequently registered the merger of the aforementioned companies.

The PGE Group did not establish any provision for the filed lawsuit.

Issues relating to the request by the Polimex-Mostostal consortium for an increase in remuneration for the construction of the Siechnice CHP plant

On 23 June 2021, a contract for the construction of CHP plant for the company Zespół Elektrociepłowni Wrocławskich KOGENERACJA S.A. in Siechnice was concluded with a consortium comprising Polimex Mostostal S.A. and Polimex Energetyka sp. z o.o. The current net value of the contractual remuneration is PLN 1,159 million.

Due to the occurrence - in the opinion of the Consortium - of an extraordinary change in economic relations, resulting in an increase in the prices of goods and materials as a consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic and a new phase of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the company received from the Consortium requests to increase the amount of the contractual remuneration for the above contract. The Company commissioned external experts to prepare a legal and technical opinion the results of which will form the basis for mediation aimed at resolving the disputes that have arisen concerning the existence of factual and legal grounds and the possible scope of a possible change in the amount of the remuneration. On 15 September 2023, the Parties entered into an agreement for mediation before a permanent mediator at the General Attorney's Office of the Treasury of the Republic of Poland. In November 2023, the first mediation meetings were held. As at the date of publication of these financial statements, the mediation had not been completed. The Consortium estimated its indexation claim at a net amount of PLN 344 million. In the company's opinion, the Consortium - at this point in time - has not demonstrated, in accordance with the distribution of the burden of proof, the factual and legal grounds for the claim.

On 20 and 26 September 2023 - at the Consortium's request - the Regional Court in Wrocław issued a decision on granting security for the Consortium's claim to shape the legal relationship and amend the contract. The value of the subject matter of the security was set by the Court at PLN 344 million.

Pursuant to the wording of the Court's decision on the security, until the court proceedings concerning a change in the amount of the contractual remuneration end with a legally binding verdict, half of the net value of the subject of the security, i.e. the amount of PLN 172 million, will increase the existing value of the payments under the investment obligations indicated in the application and will be invoiced successively in parallel to the works performed by the Consortium. The establishment of the security is not legally binding. The decision was supplemented with an immediate enforceability clause.

On 2 November 2023, the company commenced a formal appeal procedure against the Court's non-final order granting the security, said procedure aimed at challenging the rationale of the granting of the security with respect to both principle and amount. On 9 November 2023, the company sent a request to suspend the enforcement of the aforementioned decision to grant the security.

On 13 December 2023, KOGENERACJA S.A. received the decision of the Regional Court in Wrocław, 10th Commercial Division, dated 1 December 2023, concerning suspension of the enforceability of the decision of 20 September 2023 on granting the security for the claim until the complaint against this decision is resolved. Thus, the request of KOGENERACJA S.A. of 9 November 2023 was granted. The decision to stay the enforcement was supplemented with an immediate enforceability clause.

In these financial statements, no provision was recognised by the PGE Group for the aforementioned claim.

Environmental decision on the Turów Lignite Mine

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

On 31 May 2023, the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw suspended – pending an analysis of the relevant complaint – the enforceability of the environmental decision on lignite mining for the Turów Mine. The environmental decision sets out the conditions for the implementation of the project: "Continuation of the exploitation of the Turów lignite deposit, carried out in the commune of Bogatynia". The complaint against the environmental decision was filed by, among others, the Frank Bold Foundation, Greenpeace and the EKO-UNIA Ecological Association.

On 12 June 2023, PGE GiEK S.A. filed a complaint with the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw against the decision concerning the Turów Mine and issued by the Provincial Administrative Court on 31 May 2023. This was the company's response to the Provincial Administrative Court's suspension of the enforceability of the environmental decision issued by the General Directorate of Environmental Protection in September 2022.

On 18 July 2023, the Supreme Administrative Court overturned the decision of the Provincial Administrative Court of 31 May 2023 to suspend the enforceability of the environmental decision concerning the Turów Mine. The complaints filed by the General Directorate of Environmental Protection, PGE GiEK S.A. and the National Public Prosecutor's Office were taken into consideration.

On 31 August 2023, the Provincial Administrative Court suspended the proceedings on the environmental decision issued by the General Directorate of Environmental Protection and concerning the Turów Mine until the formal conclusion of the proceedings relating to the application of PGE GIEK S.A. for amending the environmental decision. At the request of PGE GIEK S.A. to amend the environmental decision, the proceedings ended with a final and legally binding decision to discontinue the proceedings.

On 13 March 2024, the Provincial Administrative Court overruled the decision of the General Directorate of Environmental Protection determining the environmental conditions for further exploitation of the lignite deposit in Turów. As the Court stressed, this did not mean either the closure or suspension of work at the Turów mine. The ruling is not legally binding.

On April 30 2024, PGE GiEK S.A. was delivered a copy of the judgment with justification. The ruling is not final. PGE GiEK S.A. has decided to file a cassation appeal against the above-mentioned judgment to the Supreme Administrative Court.

24. Tax settlements

Tax-related obligations and rights are specified in the Constitution, tax acts, and ratified international agreements. According to the Tax Code, tax is defined as a public law, gratuitous, compulsory and non-refundable cash benefit for the State Treasury, province, district or commune as provided for in the Tax Act. Taking into consideration the subjective criterion, the taxes in force in Poland can be divided into the following five groups: taxes on income, taxes on turnover, taxes on property, taxes on actions, and other fees not elsewhere classified.

From the point of view of business entities, the most important aspect is taxation of income (corporate income tax), taxation of turnover (goods and services tax, excise tax) and taxation of property (property tax, tax on means of transport). One should not forget about other fees and charges which can be classified as quasi taxes. They include, among others, social insurance contributions.

The basic tax rates were as follows: the corporate income tax rate – 19%, for small entrepreneurs the rate of 9% is possible, the basic VAT rate – 23%, reduced VAT rates: 8%, 5%, 0%; in addition, some goods and services are exempt from VAT.

The tax system in Poland is characterised by a high level of changeability and complexity of tax regulations, and high potential penalties for tax crimes or violations. Tax settlements and other activity areas subject to regulations (customs or currency inspections) can undergo inspections conducted by competent authorities entitled to issue fines and penalties together with penalty interest. A competent tax authorities may inspect tax settlements for five years from the end of the calendar year in which the deadline for the payment of tax expires.

Income tax expense

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

From 1 January 2024, the previously suspended minimum income tax rules will apply. This tax will apply to taxpayers who report a tax loss from a source of revenue other than capital gains or profitability (understood as the share of income from a source of revenue other than from capital gains in revenue other than from capital gains) of less than 2%. It will be possible to determine profitability for a group of related companies, and the Act also provides for a number of subjective and objective exclusions. The tax rate is in principle 0.3% of revenue.

The Polish authorities are also obliged to implement the provisions of Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 on ensuring the global minimum level of taxation of multinational enterprise groups and large domestic groups in the European Union (so-called Pillar 2) into the Polish legal system. In the event of an effective tax rate of less than 15% in a given jurisdiction, a global or national top-up tax will apply. The rules are to apply from 2025 with an option to opt in for 2024. The Minister of Finance has referred a bill in this regard to consultation.

VAT split payment mechanism, obligation to make payments to accounts notified to tax offices

The Group uses funds received from counterparties in VAT accounts to pay its liabilities that contain VAT. The amount of funds held in these VAT accounts at a given date depends mainly on the number of the PGE Capital Group's counterparties that decide to use this mechanism and on the relation between the payment dates of receivables and payables. As at 31 March 2024, the balance of cash on the VAT accounts was PLN 372 million.

Reporting of tax schemes (MDR)

In 2019, new legal regulations that introduced mandatory reporting of so-called tax schemes (Mandatory Disclosure Rules, MDR) came into force. As a general rule, a tax scheme should be understood as an activity where the achievement of a tax benefit is the main or one of the main benefits. In addition, events with so-called special or other special identifying characteristics defined in the rules are designated as a tax scheme. The reporting obligation is extended to three types of entities: promoters, facilitators and beneficiaries. MDR regulations are complex and imprecise in many areas, which causes doubts with respect to their interpretation and practical application.

Excise tax

As a result of the incorrect implementation of EU regulations into the Polish legal system, in 2009 PGE GiEK S.A. initiated proceedings regarding reimbursement of the improperly paid excise tax for the period from January 2006 to February 2009. The irregularity consisted in the taxation of electricity at the first stage of its sale, i.e. by producers, while it should have been taxed at the time of sales to so-called end users.

Considering the company's complaints concerning the tax authorities' negative decisions in response to the company's claims for restitution, the administrative courts ruled that the company had not borne the economic burden of the incorrectly paid excise tax (which, according to the resolution adopted by the Supreme Administrative Court on June 22, 2011, reference symbol of files I GPS 1/11, excludes the possibility of the recovery of the overpaid excise tax). According to the Supreme Administrative Court, the company's claims, especially those based on economic analyses, were of a compensatory character, and consequently, such claims could be asserted before civil courts only. In view of the above, PGE GiEK S.A. decided to withdraw from the proceedings with respect to the restitution claims. Currently, actions regarding the excise tax overpayment are conducted in civil courts. On 10 January 2020, the Regional Court in Warsaw issued a verdict in the case filed by PGE GiEK against the State Treasury – Minister of Finance. The court dismissed the company's claim. On 3 February 2020 the company filed a complaint against the first instance verdict to the Court of Appeal in Warsaw. A hearing was held on 2 December 2020 and a verdict was announced on 17 December 2020. The Court of Appeal in Warsaw dismissed the appeal of PGE GiEK S.A. On 23 April 2021, PGE GiEK S.A. filed a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court. On 20 May 2021, PGE GiEK S.A. received the response of the General Attorney's Office of the Treasury to the cassation appeal filed by the company.

In view of considerable uncertainty concerning the final decision in the above matter, in these financial statements, the Group does not indicate any consequences of a possible return of the excise tax overpayments to be determined in civil law proceedings.

Property tax

the PGE Capital Group

Tax on property constitutes a significant burden on certain PGE Group companies. Regulations concerning property tax are unclear in certain areas and give rise to a variety of interpretations and doubts. Tax authorities, i.e. commune leaders, mayors or city presidents, have often issued inconsistent tax interpretations in similar cases. In such circumstances, the PGE Capital Group companies were and may be parties to court proceedings concerning property tax. If the Group considers that an adjustment of settlements is likely due to such proceedings, it establishes an appropriate provision. Due to the constitutionality of the definition of a building being challenged by the Constitutional Court, a deep revision of the law in this area is planned with effect from 2025. No draft regulations have been published yet.

Uncertainty related to tax settlements

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

Regulations on value added tax, corporate income tax and social security charges are subject to frequent changes. These frequent changes result in a lack of appropriate points of reference, inconsistent interpretations and few established precedents that could be applied. The legislation in force also contains ambiguities that give rise to differences of opinion as to the legal interpretation of tax provisions, between state authorities as well as between state authorities and business enterprises.

Tax settlements and other areas of activity (e.g. customs or foreign exchange issues) may be the subject of inspections by the authorities, which are entitled to impose high penalties and fines, and any additional tax liabilities resulting from an inspection must be paid together with high interest. Consequently, tax risk in Poland is higher than in countries with more stable tax systems.

Amounts presented and disclosed in financial statements may change in the future as a result of a final decision of a tax audit authority.

Information on the implemented tax strategy

Pursuant to the provisions of the Income Tax Act, the largest companies of the PGE Capital Group publish annually, on their websites, information on their implemented tax strategy for the previous year. This information includes, among others, data on the procedures applied by the taxpayer with regard to the proper fulfilment of tax obligations, the number of reported tax schemes and requests for interpretation, transactions with related parties and restructuring activities.

The Tax Code includes the provisions of the General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR). The GAAR is designed to prevent the use of artificial legal structures created for the purpose of avoiding the payment of tax in Poland. The GAAR defines tax avoidance as an act done primarily for the purpose of obtaining a tax advantage which, under given circumstances, is contrary to the object and purpose of the provisions of the Tax Act. Under the GAAR, such an act does not result in achieving a tax benefit if the manner of acting was artificial. Any occurrence of unjustified splitting of operations, involvement of intermediary entities despite the lack of economic or business justification, elements that cancel or compensate each other and other actions with effects similar to those previously mentioned, can be treated as an indication of the existence of artificial acts subject to the GAARs.

The GAAR clause should be applied to transactions carried out after its entry into force and to transactions which were carried out before the effective date of the GAAR clause, but for which benefits were or continue to be obtained after this effective date. The implementation of the aforementioned rules will enable the Polish tax audit authorities to challenge legal arrangements and agreements entered into by taxpayers, such as group restructuring and reorganisation.

The PGE Group recognises and measures current and deferred tax assets or liabilities using the requirements of IAS 12 Income Taxes based on tax profit (loss), tax base, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, taking into account an assessment of uncertainties related to tax settlements. When there is uncertainty about whether and to what extent the a authority will accept particular tax settlements of a transaction, the Group recognises these settlements, taking into account an assessment of uncertainty.

26. Significant events during and after the reporting period

26.1 Impact of the war on the territory of Ukraine on the activity of the PGE Group

The war on the Ukrainian territory may affect the PGE Capital Group's operations and future financial performance. There were no significant changes in the issues reported compared to the latest published financial statements. In particular, the recoverable amount of selected asset items, the level of expected credit losses and the valuation of financial instruments may have to be assessed/changed. The PGE Group monitors the course of the war, the macroeconomic consequences and the market implications on an ongoing basis. Any events that occur will be reflected accordingly in the Group's future financial statements.

26.2 Implementation by PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o. of decisions related to the purchase and sale of coal

In the years 2022-2024, PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o. was implementing the Prime Minister's decisions, issued in mid-2022, instructing PGE Paliwa sp. z o. o. to purchase at least 3 million tonnes of thermal coal with parameters close to the quality parameters of coal used by households and to import it into the country. Due to a significant decline in market coal prices in 2023 and continued low coal prices in the first quarter of 2024, PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o. realised a negative result on the sale of coal purchased to implement the Decision and unsold by 30 April 2023.

The total result on the sale of this coal, together with other costs incurred in order to implement the Decision, recognized in the financial results in the first quarter of 2024, amounted to PLN (-) 22 million. Coal sold in the first quarter of 2024 as at 31 December 2023 was subjected to an impairment loss in the amount of PLN 239 million. The impairment loss was partially used and as at 31 March 2024 the value of the impairment loss amounted to PLN 95 million.

The Agreement signed in 2023 with the Ministry of Climate and Environment for financing the implementation of the Prime Minister's Decision provides for the reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the implementation of the Decision. A report on the implementation of the Decision as at 30 April 2023, as required by the provisions of the agreement, was submitted on time by PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o. to the Ministry of Climate and Environment. The Company plans to file an update to the report, in accordance with the deadlines set out in the Agreement.

In 2023, revenue of PLN 849 million was recognised under the Agreement. This revenue consisted of PLN 406 million received in 2023 and an estimate of the remaining compensation of PLN 443 million. In the first quarter of 2024, the estimate was increased to PLN 465 million and an amount of PLN 22 million was recognised in the results of the current period. The inflow of the remaining compensation is expected to occur at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarter of this year.

the PGE Capital Group

The divestment of conventional power generation activities based on coal combustion results from the PGE Capital Group's strategy published on 19 October 2020, which provides for the achievement of climate neutrality by 2050. The separation of coal assets will bring tangible benefits to the Group in the following areas, among others:

  • greater and more favourable access to debt and equity financing sources, lower financing costs;
  • greater and more favourable access to the insurance market;
  • lower cash requirements for hedging the costs of CO2 emissions and inventories of production raw materials;
  • release of credit limits at financing institutions as a result of reduced demand for EUA allowances;
  • increased opportunities to use financial resources for investments in distribution networks and green technologies, with higher rates of return;
  • reduced risk of changes in prices of CO2 emission allowances.

All of the above , in the opinion of the Management Board, will make the Company more attractive to shareholders.

Activities related to the spin-off of coal assets

On 23 July 2021, PGE S.A, ENEA S.A., TAURON Polska Energia S.A. and ENERGA S.A. entered into an agreement with the State Treasury concerning cooperation in the process of separation of coal power assets and their integration into the National Energy Security Agency.

On 14 July 2023, PGE S.A. received, from the State Treasury, represented by the Minister of State Assets, a proposal for a non-binding document summarising the terms of the transaction for the acquisition by the State Treasury of all shares in PGE GiEK S.A. On 10 August 2023, PGE S.A. and the Minister of State Assets signed a document summarising the key terms of a transaction for the acquisition by the State Treasury of shares in PGE GiEK S.A. for the purpose of spinning off coal assets.

The implementation of the transaction for the sale of PGE GiEK S.A. to the State Treasury was subject to the fulfilment of a number of conditions precedent. As at the date of these financial statements, the above conditions precedent had not been met, thus it should be assumed that the transaction under the terms of the proposal of 14 July 2023 will not take place. In addition, in February 2024, the Council of Ministers withdrew from the Parliament a draft law on the principles of guaranteeing the National Energy Security Agency's liabilities by the State Treasury.

According to statements by government institutions, the process of spinning off coal assets will continue. On 9 May 2024, a team was set up by order of the Minister of State Assets with a view to spinning off coal assets from energy sector enterprises in which the State Treasury holds shares.

The team's tasks include:

  • analysis of the conditions for a spin-off of coal assets from state-owned companies in the energy sector;
  • cooperation with state-owned companies in the energy sector to develop guidelines, directions and methods for conducting the spin-off process;
  • development of recommendations for necessary or recommended legislative changes aimed at the execution of the planned spin-off;
  • identification of the circle of entities responsible for the execution of the spin-off and the distribution of tasks among these entities.

The target shape and timetable of the process depends on the results of the above team's work and the government's decisions.

Recognition of assets related to PGE GiEK S.A. in the financial statements

In the opinion of the PGE Capital Group, as at the reporting date, the conditions of IFRS 5 concerning operations held for sale regarding assets and liabilities as well as revenue and expenses for the described coal-fired units are not met.

Consequently, as at 31 March 2024, assets related to PGE GiEK S.A. are not reclassified to discontinued operations. PGE S.A. also did not make adjustments bringing the value of assets related to PGE GiEK S.A. to the values required by IFRS 5. The values of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and results of the Conventional Power Generation segment, showing the data for PGE GiEK S.A. and its subsidiaries, are presented in note 5.1 to these financial statements.

The book value of the consolidated net assets of PGE GiEK S.A. and its subsidiaries was PLN 979 million on 31 March 2024. The book value of PGE GiEK S.A. shares in the separate financial statements was PLN 0 as at 31 March 2024.

Support mechanisms for electricity consumers

Due to the crisis situation in the electricity market, the legislator has decided to introduce regulations that temporarily introduce exceptional solutions for electricity prices and electricity tariffs in 2023. On 18 October 2022, the Act on special solutions to protect electricity consumers in 2023 in connection with the situation on the electricity market of 7 October 2022 (hereinafter the "Households Act") entered into force and on 4 November 2022, the Act on emergency measures to reduce electricity prices and support certain consumers in 2023 of 27 October 2022 (hereinafter the "Extraordinary Measures Act 2023") entered into force. According to the Households Act, in 2023, a power company carrying out the business of electricity trading was obliged to apply, with respect to household customers, prices equal to those contained in the tariff in force on 1 January 2022 for individual tariff groups up to specified consumption limits. On the other hand, once the Act Amending the Household Act of 16 August 2023 entered into force, the consumption limits for each category of customers were increased by an additional 1MWh. Once the consumption limits dedicated to household customers have been exceeded, a maximum price of 693 PLN/MWh (price excluding VAT and excise duty) will be used for settlements with household customers in accordance with the Extraordinary Measures in 2023 Act. This means that electricity prices have been established in legal regulations and, therefore, in 2023, tariffs approved by the President of the ERO did not directly affect electricity prices for households.

In addition, under the Extraordinary Measures Act, in 2023, the maximum electricity price for other eligible customers has been set at PLN 785/MWh (price excluding VAT and excise duty). After the Act Amending the Household Act of 16 August 2023 entered into force, the maximum price was, as for households, PLN 693 per MWh. This price, in principle, applied from 1 December 2022, but it will apply in a different amount from 1 October 2023 to 31 December 2023. The indicated limit of the maximum price for eligible customers also applied to electricity sales agreements that were concluded or amended after 23 February 2022 and where the maximum price also applied to settlements for the period from the date of conclusion or amendment of such agreements until 30 November 2022. Power companies have been obliged to successively reimburse the amounts resulting from the application of the maximum prices until the end of 2023.

Power companies engaged in the business of electricity trading, in accordance with the implemented regulations, were entitled to compensation for the application of electricity prices in settlements with household customers in the same amount as on 1 January 2022. Such compensation was the product of electricity consumed at the electricity connection point, up to the maximum consumption limits entitling consumers to pay the 2022 prices, and the difference between the electricity price resulting from the electricity tariff approved by the President of URE for 2023 and the electricity prices approved in the 2022 tariff. In turn, for the application of the maximum price of PLN 693/MWh in settlements with household customers, trading companies were entitled to compensation in the amount of the product of the amount of electricity consumed in a given month and the difference between the reference price and the maximum price, for each electricity connection point. The reference price was the price of electricity resulting from the electricity tariff approved by the President of URE for 2023. Compensation is also due for the use of maximum prices in settlements with other eligible entities. In this case, as a rule, the reference price for the payment of compensation was calculated on the basis of the prices of electricity in power exchange contracts and the prices of electricity purchased for sale to eligible customers, plus the cost of redemption of certificates of origin and a margin.

The mechanisms introduced in the Household Act and the Extraordinary Measures in Act 2023 should, in principle, compensate trading companies for the price reduction.

In accordance with the provisions of the Act of 7 December 2023 on amending laws to support consumers of electricity, gaseous fuels and heat, which came into force on 31 December 2023 (the Act for 2024), the mechanisms for freezing tariff prices and the maximum price were extended until 30 June 2024.

On 23 May 2024, a draft act on temporary price caps for electricity, natural gas and district heat and on energy vouchers was accepted by the Parliament and submitted for signature the President of the Republic of Poland. The document aims to regulate electricity prices from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2024. The draft imposes an obligation on electricity traders in the form of submitting an application to change the existing tariff for 2024 within seven days of the entry into force of the corresponding Act or at the request of the President of ERO. The revised tariff, according to the draft law, is to apply from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2025. The draft also provides for an extension of the period for the functioning of the maximum electricity price mechanism. This price will apply in the second half of 2024 and has been set at PLN 500/MWh for household consumers, and at PLN 693/MWh for local government units and public institutions (including schools, hospitals, social welfare units), as well as micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.

Electricity customers who have concluded contracts for the sale of electricity with a dynamic price have been excluded from the possibility of taking advantage of the maximum price. If the tariff approved by the ERO President is higher than the maximum price for households, household customers will be billed according to the maximum price of PLN 500/MWh. By virtue of the application of a maximum price in settlements with customers,

trading companies will be entitled to compensation amounting to the difference between the tariff price in force from 1 July 2024 and the maximum price.

In the first quarter of 2024, compensation revenue amounted to PLN 1,289 million. The amounts of compensation received by the sales companies were intended to compensate for the losses these entities suffered due to the price freeze.

The above values concerning due compensation are estimates determined in accordance with the best knowledge available to the PGE Capital Group as at the date of the preparation of these financial statements.

Price Difference Payment Fund

for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 in accordance with EU-IFRS (in PLN million)

the PGE Capital Group

After 1 December 2022, the financial position of the PGE Group was also affected by the provisions of the Extraordinary Measures Act 2023, which introduced the obligation for electricity generators and electricity trading companies to make monthly contributions to the account of the Price Difference Payment Fund. A contribution to the Fund is the product of the volume of electricity sold and the positive difference between the volume-weighted average market price of electricity sold and the volume-weighted average price cap of electricity sold, as specified in the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 8 November 2022 on the manner of calculating the price limit.

A different method of calculating the price limit has been defined for individual generation sources:

  • in the case of lignite- and coal-fired power generation units, the price limit takes into account, among other things, the unit cost of fuel consumed, the cost of CO2 emission allowances, the efficiency of power generation units, the margin and a certain level of investment and fixed cost allowance of PLN 50/MWh,
  • for units producing energy from renewable sources, the price limit was determined by reference to the reference price indicated in Article 77(3)(1) of the Renewable Energy Sources Act, whereby for hydroelectric power plants the price limit will be 40% of this reference price.

For electricity trading companies, on the other hand:

• for energy sold to end-users, the price limit is the product of the volume-weighted average price of electricity purchased on a given day and a margin defined as 1.035 or 1.03 (plus the unit cost of redemption of certificates of origin),

for energy sold to customers other than final consumers, the price limit was the product of the volume-weighted average price of energy purchased on a given day and the margin defined as 1.015 or 1.01.

From 1 January 2023 onwards, trading companies calculate the amount of the contribution to the Fund for a given calendar month to which the settlement relates, taking into account the volume of electricity sales, the market price and the price limit for the 3 decades of that month, i.e. from the 1st to the 10th, from the 11th to the 20th and from the 21st to the last day of a month. Until 31 December 2022, the contribution to the Fund was calculated separately for each day of the month.

On 1 March and 1 September 2023, amendments to the provisions of the Extraordinary Measures in 2023 Act governing the rules of making contributions to the Fund came into force.

The amendment concerned, among other things, the extension of the catalogue of revenue items that constitute the basis for calculating the contribution to the Fund. As a result, the amount of contributions transferred by the PGE Capital Group increased.

In connection with doubts concerning the interpretation of the provisions and the qualification of revenue from additional cash settlements, which should be taken into account in the calculation of contributions to the Fund, PGE S.A. applied to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for an individual interpretation confirming the applied interpretation of the Act, as a result of which revenue from selected agreements should not be taken into account in the calculation of contributions to the Fund. The President of the ERO did not share the Company's position. PGE S.A., disagreeing with the adverse decision of the President of the ERO, appealed against it to the Regional Court in Warsaw.

In 2023, the contribution due to the Fund amounted to PLN 6,569 million (decrease in the financial result). In turn, compensation income for 2023 amounted to PLN 7.658 million. Revenue from compensation is independent of the amount of contributions to the Fund. As described above, the amounts of compensation received by the sales companies were intended to compensate for the losses these entities suffered due to the price freeze. The contributions to the Fund, on the other hand, limited the margins realised by individual energy companies to the specific levels indicated in the regulations.

The system of contributions to the Fund for the 2023 settlement periods will not be closed before 31 December 2023. Contributions to the Fund must also be made in 2024 for sales effected in the last weeks of 2023. In the Act for 2024, the legislator did not decide to extend the obligation to make contributions to the Fund to 2024, which means that the last month for which a contribution to the Fund should have been paid was December 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, an adjustment to the contribution to the Fund for the previous period in the amount of PLN 5 million was recognised as a reduction of costs.

Regulation of the Minister of Climate and Environment of 9 September 2023

the PGE Capital Group

On 11 September 2023, the Regulation of the Minister of Climate and Environment of 9 September 2023, amending the Regulation on the manner of shaping and calculating tariffs and the manner of settlements in electricity trading, was published and came into force on 19 September 2023. This regulation reduced electricity bills for household consumers by an average of more than PLN 125 in 2023, provided that one of the listed conditions is met. Power utilities conducting business activities related to electricity trading were obliged to make the reduction at the latest in the last electricity invoice in 2023. No compensation has so far been granted to trading companies for this reduction due to the lack of legislation that would provide a basis for it.

On 31 December 2023, taking into account the number of recipients who met at least one of the conditions set out in the regulation, revenue was reduced by PLN 535 million (of which PLN 230 million is an estimate) As at 31 March 2024, an amount of about PLN 88 million remains to be paid out to customers out of the PLN 230 million estimate at the end of the reporting period.
