Letter from President of the Management Board and CEO

Dear Sirs and Madams,

The past year was characterised by a high dynamics of market and regulatory changes in the environment of ENEA Group. A record-high increase in the price of CO2 emission allowances, rising fuel and transport costs, as well as new regulations for the energy market are just a few of the factors which pressured companies from the powersector, including ENEA Group, to face new challenges and adapt to them, especially in the areas of generation and trading.

In such a demanding environment, in 2018 ENEA Group generated revenue of PLN 12.7 billion, i.e. over 11% greater than in 2017. Consistent implementation of our Development Strategy allows us to achieve increasingly better operating parameters. In 2018, ENEA Group generated 5.5 TWh more electricity than the year before, i.e. 26.4% year-on-year. In this period, there was also a significant increase in the total sales volume by over 2.5 TWh, i.e. 13.4%, driven primarily by sales of electricity to business customers. We also recorded an increase in sales of distribution services to end users which increased year-on-year by 618 GWh, i.e. by 3.2%.

The Group's financial situation is confirmed by external, independent financial institutions – on 1 October 2018, the Fitch Ratings agency affirmed ENEA's BBB longterm local and foreign currency ratings with a stable outlook. A net debt/EBITDA ratio remains at a safe level of 2.4.

Investments in the development of own generation capacity and the security of the national power system

ENEA Group is an essential actor, stabilising Poland's energy security. This strategic role inevitably entails large investments in the development of generation capacity and the modernisation of the existing power units, e.g. in terms of adjusting them to the BAT conclusions. In 2018, we spent over PLN 2.3 billion on investments.

In the previous year, a solution supporting Poland's energy security – the power market mechanism – was launched in Poland. It is intended to prevent electricity shortages and create favourable investment conditions for creating new and modernising the existing generation units. In the fourth quarter, ENEA Group participated in three capacity auctions. As a result of those auctions, a total of 3,663 MW of capacity obligation was contracted for our Group's units, including Unit No. 11 at Kozienice Power Plant, for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. Multiannual contracts entered into during the first auction make it possible to estimate the potential revenue from the capacity market at PLN 6.6 billion over 15 years. The Group will be able to earmark these funds not only for modernisation, to meet the tighter environmental requirements and adjust its units in Kozienice and Połaniec. These funds should also be spent on new projects and investments, including those in the renewable energy sources (RES) segment.

In the first full year of its commercial operation, Unit No. 11 located at Kozienice Power Plant significantly contributed to the increase in the volume of electricity generated by the Group. It was also an important link in the national power system. Owing to the good operation of this unit despite the planned renovation works on other generation units, July 2018 was the month of record-breaking electricity generation in Kozienice from the beginning of operation of the power plant, i.e. over 50 years. We can confirm that the way our Unit No. 11 has been operating so far meets our design objectives in terms of operation and emissions.

ENEA, together with Energa, is involved in the Ostrołęka C Power Plant project with the capacity of 1,000 MW. At the end of 2018, having received the necessary corporate approvals, the company implementing the investment, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o., issued the Notice to Proceed. A new power plant was designed so as to guarantee maximum operational flexibility and compatibility with renewable energy sources. The company implementing the project has successfully participated in the capacity market auction, securing additional revenue of PLN 2.6 billion for the years 2023-2038, which represents about 52% of the value of the contract with the project's General Contractor, exerting a significant impact on their expected profitability. Moreover, ENEA's financial involvement in the Construction Stage of the project of PLN 1 billion offers a potential for operational synergy between selected companies of the Group.

Customer in the spotlight

ENEA operates in a dynamic market environment, we change for our Customers to offer them increasingly better solutions. We actively develop sales channels and broaden our range of products and services. In 2018, we launched a new line of modern ENEA Eco products to support the fight against smog. We expanded the ENEA Smart product line by adding the Heating Package. When contacting our Customers, we focus on the level of service, that is why we are constantly working on improving the level of satisfaction with our services. To this end, we have launched a self-service platform for Customers using our helpline and introduced the possibility of arranging visits to our Customer Service Offices via a website and helpline, as well as some innovative solutions, such as on-line chatting available for the Customers on our website.

In 2018, our trading activity was influenced by the record expensive CO2 emission allowances and increasing prices of energy origin certificates, which translated into higher electricity prices on the wholesale market. These trends became more prominent in the business performance of the entire energy industry. In the third quarter of last year, the number of Customers under reserve agreements on the market increased significantly due to the cessation of operations of some electricity suppliers. In order to ensure our Customers a continuous energy supply in such difficult situation, we proposed solutions that encourage them to take advantage of our offer without any additional charges.

Modern distribution infrastructure

In the area of distribution, we continued our work to improve our network reliability indices and increase the ability to react quickly to our users' needs. One of the many investments and modernisation projects that are worth mentioning is the 110 kV overhead high voltage line between Leszno Gronowo and Śrem in Greater Poland, which was put to operation in July. It is the last phase of the conversion of 110 km long line between Leszno and Września and the modernisation of the Main Power Supply Point Zdroje in Western Pomerania. The entire network modernisation programme in 2018 cost over PLN 1 billion.

Stable resource base for power plants

The main resource base for our power plants is Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A., which is a part of the Group. In 2018, sales revenues of Bogdanka amounted to PLN 1.76 billion. During that year, the company produced 9.01 million tonnes of commercial coal and sold 8.94 million tonnes. The production was lower that planned due to geological and hydrological difficulties that affected the full year results. Bogdanka incurred higher expenses on gallery works in order to increase extraction volumes in 2019.

10 years on the Stock Exchange

In November, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the ENEA's debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Nowadays, ENEA is a public entity worth over PLN 4.1 billion and it is the second highest valued energy group on the Polish stock exchange. The company builds its value for the shareholders by implementing an ambitious strategy and development programmes. Moreover, last year ENEA and Bogdanka qualified for London's FTSE Russel's basket and as a result were included in the developed markets indices.

Social responsibility

Environmental protection initiatives, as well as educational, sport or ecological programmes with a focus on local communities are an important element of our strategy. In 2018, we developed two new original programmes which support specialist training: cooperation with industry and technical schools from the area in which the group operates and dual studies programme.

By supporting education, we are investing in the new workforce, which will strengthen Polish energy sector and economy in the future. In 2018, ten institutions from the area in which we operate joined the network of ENEA Group umbrella schools. In October, a group of students from Poznań University of Technology started the dual studies in ENEA Group. It is an innovative system of studying which combines acquiring academic knowledge and gaining practical experience.

In connection with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining independence and 100th anniversary of the Greater Poland Uprising, ENEA Group got involved in 100 initiatives to commemorate these special events. These are initiatives on national, regional and local level. Our employees were also involved in all these actions, for which I am very thankful to them.

Sustainable development of the Group with care for the environment

I would like to emphasise that we are committed to the sustainable development of all our business areas. ENEA Group, as a modern resource and energy holding, invests in environmental solutions and minimises the Group's impact on its surroundings. These efforts need time and large investments not only in terms of money but also in terms of our employees' involvement. It is a commitment to local communities and the entire country, which stems from ENEA Group Code of Ethics. Today, we can proudly share the results of some of our efforts to reduce specific CO2 emission in electricity production. In 2016–2018, the CO2 emission per 1 MWh of electricity generated in ENEA Group decreased by over 7%. Moreover, last year, in comparison to the previous period, our Group generated nearly 11% more renewable energy. In 2018, we allocated PLN 173 million to environmental initiatives.

According to the current Strategy, ENEA intends to significantly increase its share in particular market segments and focuses on the development of new innovative business lines and technologies. We believe that our projects will have a positive impact on the Polish economy and also shape the conditions for local communities development. Continuing the open and constructive dialogue with the society on the basis of our Group's values is an important element of the implementation of these plans.

Yours faithfully,

Mirosław Kowalik

President of the Management Board of ENEA S.A. and CEO

1. Operating summary

ENEA Group in numbers

Resources

  • 6.3 GW of installed electrical capacity
  • 384 million tonnes extraction potential of 3 licenced areas
  • 122.8 thousand km of distribution lines including connections
  • 16.5 thousand Employees
  • 2.5 million Customers
  • 2.6 million Users of distribution services

2018 financials

  • PLN 12,673 million of net sales revenue
  • PLN 2,348 million of EBITDA
  • PLN 719 million of net profit
  • PLN 2,307 million of CAPEX

Targets until 2025

  • 75% own coal consumption
  • 5.8-6.3 GW of conventional electrical power installed
  • 20.1 TWh of electricity sale
  • EBITDA of PLN 2,939 million (an increase of 38% on 2015)

In 2018, ENEA Group generated an EBITDA result of PLN 2,348 million (down by PLN 335 million y/y). The highest EBITDA, amounting to PLN 1,111 million, was posted in the Distribution area, mainly on the back of the growth in the sales volume of distribution services and of the improved result on other operating activities. The Trading area posted an EBITDA of PLN -76 million. Higher costs of energy purchase and environmental obligations (mainly, the green obligation) in retail trading and higher prices of CO2 emission allowances in wholesale trading contributed to a drop in EBITDA in this area (down by PLN 254 million y/y); moreover, this result also includes a provision of PLN 79 million established in connection with Act of 28 December 2018 amending the Excise Duty Act and certain other acts. The Mining area generated an EBITDA of PLN 470 million, which means a decrease of 33.7% y/y (i.e. by PLN 239 million). The area remains under pressure of the following factors: events in Q1 2018 and Q4 2018 (geological and hydrological difficulties) which led to lower commercial coal sales than the year before; the increase in production costs (i.a., higher costs of labour, external services, consumption of materials); and the extended scope of gallery works aimed at increasing output in the coming years. In the Generation area, the highest growth rate of EBITDA, up by 18.1% y/y or by PLN 133 million, was recorded. The increase in the volume of electricity generated did not counterbalance the negative impact of the increase in variable costs in this area. The volume of electricity generation was affected by two counterbalancing factors – on the one hand, these were better availability of Połaniec Power Plant and the usage record of the potential of Unit No. 11 at ENEA Wytwarzanie which is improving by the quarter, while, on the other hand, there were the protracted shutdowns of the company's Units No. 9 and No. 10, also related to the adjustment of the generation units to the BAT conclusions.

In 2018, coal transport to ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec was executed by PKP Cargo S.A.

Generation

Sales of electricity on the wholesale market [GWh]

Electricity is sold on the wholesale market. The largest generator in ENEA Wytwarzanie is Kozienice Power Plant, from which the largest sales volume in 2017 and 2018 was delivered to the ENEA Group company – ENEA Trading sp. o.o., and sales were effected via the Polish Power Exchange (PPE) under the obligation to sell own-generated electricity in accordance with Article 49a of the Energy Law Act (the so-called "exchange obligation"). In 2017, the obligation amounted to 15% of the volume of electricity generated, and in 2018 it was increased to 30%. Additionally, sales via the Balancing Market, resulting from the operation of the Central Dispatching Units in the National Power System (NPS), were also carried out. Within the RES Segment (hydroelectric, wind and biogas plants), sales were carried out under the concluded Agreements, from which all energy is directed to ENEA Group companies. Similarly, in the Heat Segment (Białystok Heat and Power Plant) energy sales were directed mainly to ENEA Trading and to the Balancing Market. On 30 November, Białystok Heat and Power Plant was separated from the structures of ENEA Wytwarzanie and transferred to ENEA Ciepło.

At ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec, in the years 2017 - 2018 sales were conducted mainly to companies from ENGIE Group (2017) and ENEA Group (2018). Moreover, similarly to Kozienice Power Plant, sales on PPE were carried out as part of the exchange obligation.

Purchase of electricity on the wholesale market [GWh]

The purchase of electricity is carried out within the framework of market possibilities, which guarantee the achievement of the assumed financial effect and in order to limit the effects of the lack of appropriate level of available capacity and failures. In 2018, a significant increase in the volume of purchases in trading resulted from the increase in the exchange obligation to 30% (Article 49a of the Energy Law Act of December 2017). Due to the amendments to the Energy Law Act being made so late in relation to the contracted sale of electricity under annual contracts, the purchase of previously contracted energy was necessary (lack of availability to execute the full obligation at the high level of previously contracted energy). The purchase of electricity within the Balancing Market results from the ongoing balancing of the National Power System by the Operator. Within the Heat Segment, the purchase in trading resulted from the execution of agreements concluded with users and from actions taken to limit the costs of failure of generation units and lack of disposable capacity vs. the concluded contracts.

Sales of electricity and gaseous fuel to retail customers carried out by ENEA S.A.

In 2018, as compared to 2017, there was a very significant rise in the total sales volume by 2,541 GWh, i.e. more than 13%. The sales volume growth was mainly generated by the sale of electricity to business customers (an increase of 2,491 GWh, i.e. more than 18%), but the volume of electricity sold in the households segment also increased on previous year – a rise of 89 GWh, i.e. by more than 2%. On the other hand, the sales volume of gas fuel decreased slightly compared to the previous year (by 39 GWh, i.e. by nearly 4%). The total growth in sales volumes in 2018 translated into higher total sales revenues by PLN 650 million, i.e. by nearly 16% on 2017. It resulted from an increase of over 20% in revenues from sales to business customers, i.e. PLN 619 million. Sales volume growth in the households segment contributed to a rise in sales revenues in this segment - an increase by PLN 31 million, i.e. by nearly 3%.

Dependence on suppliers or users

Due to the sales structure, there is no dependence on any customer. In the area of coal supply, LW Bogdanka's subsidiary is the largest supplier of coal.

Insurance agreements

At ENEA Group, insurance agreements are contracted pursuant the Corporate Policy of Insurance. With the single Policy, insurance standards within the Group have been made uniform and the insurance coverage procurement has been consolidated for selected insurance segments, which has provided measurable benefits both in terms of insurance and in terms of insurance cost. ENEA Group companies are members of Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń Wzajemnych Polskiego Zakładu Ubezpieczeń Wzajemnych (Mutual Insurance Company) and transfer the risk of loss resulting from property damage or third party claims by conclusion of insurance agreements. The measures taken in this area enables them to achieve measurable financial and organisational benefits. Due to the significant exposure of ENEA Group companies to damage and potential claims, it cannot be ruled out that the current insurance agreements may prove insufficient. The level of insurance coverage does not deviate from the standards applied in Polish power industry and is adjusted to the specific activity of each Company.

Agreements signed between the Parent's shareholders

The Company is not aware of any agreements that may have been concluded between the shareholders of ENEA S.A.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management

ENEA Group is exposed to risks in each segment of its activity. The risk materialisation could have a significant adverse effect on the continuity of business of individual companies of the Group, their financial standing, and ability to achieve their strategic goals.

The awareness of these risks requires maintaining, using, and constantly improving a formalised and integrated enterprise risk management (ERM) system. Its framework is determined by the single Enterprise Risk Management Policy binding in ENEA Group.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Areas of activities

The current Polish energy market was shaped in 1997 when the Energy Law Act was adopted and the Energy Regulatory Office was established.

Energy Regulatory Office determines the prices of the energy transfer as well as the property rights from the certificates of origin for electricity and CO2 emission allowances. Further significant changes in Polish energy sector occurred following the accession to the European Union in 2004. Two liberalising directives regulating the rules of the European the electricity and natural gas market were transposed into national law. Important changes also took place in 2007 when the domestic retail customers were given the right to purchase energy from any chosen seller.

The energy market in Poland is comprised mainly of energy groups: ENEA, PGE, Tauron, Energa and Innogy. Pursuant to the Energy Law Act, a license from the President of the Energy Regulatory Office is required to carry out an economic activity in the field of transmission or distribution of electricity. The main distributors of energy in Poland are: ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o., TAURON Dystrybucja S.A., PGE Dystrybucja S.A. and Energa Operator S.A.

There are three groups of electricity producers on the Polish market: system power plants, combined heat and power plants and renewable energy sources.

Companies that trade in energy are a special group of entities. They were created in 2007 as a result of the separation of trading and distribution activities of power distribution companies.

The energy trade market is regulated by the Energy Law Act and is currently divided into three segments: the contract market, the stock market, the balancing market. The energy trade is based on bilateral contracts (agreements) entered into by the energy producers and energy trading companies and end users. The stock market includes trading at the power exchange (Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. or TGE). The energy trading at TGE takes place mostly at the Day-Ahead Market (DAM). DAM is run a day ahead of the 24h day during which the energy is actually supplied.

The balancing market is a specific area of energy market in which the differences between the transactions made by individual market participants and the actual demand for electricity are balanced.

On the Polish market, the majority of electricity comes from conventional fuels (mainly coal and lignite), but energy companies are increasingly restructuring in terms of increasing the share of renewable energy production. This is indirectly due to the obligations arising from e.g. the climate package 3x20, according to which before 2020 Poland is obligated to achieve 15% share of RES in the energy consumption. In order to increase the share of these sources in the electricity production balance in the country, due to high investment costs, it is necessary to use appropriate support systems, which guarantee their systematic development. According to the draft Energy Policy of Poland by 2040, announced in November last year which is currently at the stage of consultations, in 2030 the target share of RES in the energy balance is 21%, which constitutes 27% share in the production of electricity. The same year, 60% of the electricity production will come from coal and in 2040 this share is expected to drop below 30%.

Also according to the plans of the Ministry of Energy, in 2033 the first nuclear unit will start running. Other units will be added every 2 years – the last one in 2043. The total capacity of the first nuclear power plant in Poland will be 6-9 GW. An important factor in the development of the Polish energy market is the capacity market, which has to ensure a stable supply of electricity to households and industry, as, according to analyses, after 2020 there may be a deficit of the required capacity level. The project is planned for 2016-2046. Through capacity auctions, the capacity will be contracted few years in advance to ensure that the demand in a given year is covered.

This will ensure stable functioning of the existing generation sources, safe development of RES, development of energy storage facilities and investments in new power plants. The energy market in Poland consists mainly of four investment groups: ENEA, PGE, Tauron, Energa.

Macroeconomic situation

ENEA Group's operations are focused on the territory of Poland. Therefore, core macroeconomic factor affecting both the results achieved and its financial situation is the development pace and the general condition of the Polish economy. According to the preliminary estimate of the Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS), the GDP in Q4 2018 (not seasonally adjusted) increased by 4.9% on the corresponding quarter in 2017 against 5.0% in the corresponding period in 2017.

According to GUS data, in 2018 growth tendencies were observed in the main areas of the economy. According to preliminary GUS estimates, in 2018 GDP grew in real terms more than the year before (5.1% in 2018 vs. 4.6% in 2017). In 2018, the industrial production sold was higher than the year before by 5.8%. The growth of industrial production sold was slower than in 2017. In 2018, the construction production in Poland was 14.0% higher than in the previous year. The preliminary estimatesshow a higher than in 2017 growth in total construction output.

In 2018, prices of consumer goods and services increased by 1.6% year on year. Prices of consumer goods and services increased to a lesser extent than in 2017. The average annual consumer price index was lower than assumed in the Budget Act 2018. Prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages grew slower than in 2017. On the other hand, prices of goods and servicesrelated to housing and transport increased more dynamically.

Global Coal Market in 2018

In 2018, the global coal market remained in an upward trend. Spot price growth in the Asia-Pacific region was significantly higher than in the Atlantic region. In June 2018, global spot prices of thermal coal increased to levels unquoted since 2012 and exceeded the critical threshold of 100 USD/t. High global coal prices were mainly due to temporary supply constraints and persistently strong demand. After a sharp rise in indices in the first half of the year, the market slowed down slightly and the fall in prices since October 2018 indicates that it has reached saturation levels and is likely to enter a period of so-called correction. The decrease in imports in China was a confirmation of this.

In European coal terminals, growing coal prices were supported by high energy prices in many EU countries and the highest CO2 emission allowances in a decade. Lower than expected generation of energy from renewable sources in Europe and air temperatures above long-term averages additionally strengthened demand for coal energy and hikes in raw material prices. In ARA ports, an average of USD 92.38 was paid for 1 tonne of thermal coal in 2018 (+10% y/y).

In the Asia-Pacific region, there was a higher dynamics of price changes than in Europe due to increased trade involvement in the global market of the two largest coal players, i.e. China and India, as well as rapid economic development of South Asian countries. In 2018, 1 tonne of coal on the Asian market cost USD 98.51 on average (+16% y/y).

Polish Coal Market in 2018

The upward trend in coal prices on the Polish market, which started in December 2017, continued throughout 2018. The increase in the quotations of the Polish steam coal market index PSCMI1 was facilitated by a significant reduction in domestic supply, which resulted in the need to increase imports of more expensive coal from abroad. In addition, the occurrence of temporary logistical problems on the rail market increased the risk of failure to meet the minimum levels of coal reserves by individual manufacturing entities in the country. At the end of 2018, the risk of exceeding the minimum level of coal reserves at power plant storage sites was reduced to highly optimal levels. The situation in the area of coal mining and logistics of coal supplies to power plants also improved. Average annual prices of thermal coal (incl. Dec/181) ET forecast) for this period were higher than in the previous year and amounted to PLN 10.97 per GJ (+19% y/y).

Wholesale electricity prices

In 2018, the average price on the SPOT market was higher by 39.3% as compared to the corresponding period of 2017. In all analysed months (except January), prices were significantly higher than in the same period in 2017. The prices were affected by the following factors:

  • higher demand for capacity in the National Power System (NPS)
  • lower capacity available in NPS
  • weather conditions, which translated into relatively low energy generation by wind turbines. In addition, air temperature was below multi-year averages in the months of February-March and above it in the summer months
  • growing prices in CO2 emission allowances

On the forward market, growth in electricity prices could be observed. During the reporting period, the BASE Y-19 product price went up from the level of 183.25 PLN/MWh in the beginning of January 2018 to 294.50 PLN/MWh in the end of 2018.

Transaction prices and volumes – BASE Y-19

Such strong increases, never seen before on the market, coincided with strong growth in prices over shorter terms, with delivery in 2018. On the PPE forward market, an increased liquidity can be observed, the total trade volume of BASE Y-19 in 2018 is more than 2.5-times higher than on BASE Y-18 in 2017. The reason for this situation may be the introduction of the 30% "exchange obligation" in H1 2018 and the announced intention of increasing it to 100% still this year, along with imposing the obligation on some trading companies to take this change into account as of August 2018 and the acceleration of the contracting process by large users. As in the case of BASE Y-19, the prices of PEAK Y-19 were also changing. At the beginning of January, the market valuation of this product was 230.50 PLN/MWh, and at the end of 2018 it was 381.00 PLN/MWh. The growth of prices seen in 2018 was associated, among other things, with a high volatility of CO2 emission allowances (the difference in prices ranged to even 17 EUR/tonne) and with a difficult situation on the hard coal market. A dynamic growth and significant volatility of the CO2 emission allowance prices are connected with the implementation of the Market Stability Reserve and the increased activity of speculators.

Transaction prices and volumes – PEAK Y-19

In 2018, transactions were also concluded for BASE Y-20; however, due to the remote delivery horizon, the trade volume was much lower than in the case of BASE Y-19.

Obligations involved in obtaining energy certificates

Pursuant to the effective regulations, energy companies selling electricity to end users in 2018 are obliged to obtain and redeem the following types of certificates of origin:

  • for energy generated from renewable sources, the so-called "green" certificates an obligation at the level of 17.5% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated from agricultural biogas an obligation at the level of 0.50% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated in methane cogeneration, the so-called "violet" certificates an obligation at the level of 2.3% of salesto end users
  • for energy generated in gas cogeneration units or with a total installed capacity of up to 1 MW, the so-called "yellow" certificates – an obligation at the level of 8.0%
  • for energy generated in other cogeneration sources, the so-called "red" certificates an obligation at the level of 23.2%
  • for energy efficiency certificates, the so-called "white" certificates an obligation at the level of 1.5%

Below, the pricing structure of contracts on the PPE session market for individual property rights in 2018 is presented. "Green" property rights (PMOZE) were omitted in the analysis due to the lack of trading and their complete replacement by PMOZE_A.

The Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 11 August 2017 determining the level of obligation for 2018-2019 (17.5% and 18.5% respectively) has improved the prospects for long-term discharge of the surplus. In addition, the amended RES Act (amendment of 20 July 2017) and Energy Minister's interpretation of the inability to pay the substitution fee until the unit replacement fee reaches the maximum level (300.03 PLN/MWh) resulted in a strong increase in PMOZE_A prices above the level of 70 PLN/MWh and established the current upward trend.

Limits and market prices of carbon dioxide emission allowances

As of the beginning of 2018, the package of MiFID II regulations entered into force, aimed at the strengthening of the financial instrument markets and the protection of capital market participants in Europe. Under the distribution of free allowances for 2018, EU Member States issued 681.49 million out of 756.58 million EUAs (90% of all EUAs). Also, according to the data published, Poland has transferred 89% of the allowances granted to it. Information about CO2 emission allowances in trading was published, along with information about the number of allowances that will be transferred to the MSR over the first 8 months from 1 January 2019, i.e. 264.7million EUAs out of 1,654.6million identified as a surplus.

The European Commission suggested the continuation of the obligation resulting from the greenhouse gas emissions by aviation until final decisions are made regarding the global market mechanism.

Prices of CO2 emission allowances are at the highest level since 2011, and long-term price forecasts anticipate further increases. The identified cause of this situation is launching, in 2019, the MSR whose task is to limit oversupply of allowances on the market by transferring them to a reserve. The impact of speculative actions on the EUA prices in the market is also being discussed more and more often.

FY 2018

Factors behind the change of ENEA Group's EBITDA (a decrease by PLN 335 million):

  • (+) higher revenues from sales of electricity by PLN 2,127 million result mainly from a higher sales volume (by 9,863 GWh) and a higher average sales price by 2.8%, with concurrentlower revenuesfrom Regulatory System Services
  • (+) higher revenues from sales of heat by PLN 12 million result from the higher sales volume by 482 TJ (mainly as a result of EEP acquisition), with a concurrent decrease in the average sales price by 4.3%
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of natural gas by PLN 39 million resulting mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from gas sales – distribution services(implementation of IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018)
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of distribution services by PLN 555 million resulting mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from transferred charges (implementation of IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018), with a concurrent increase in the sales volume of distribution servicesto end users
  • (-) lower revenuesfrom sales of certificates of origin by PLN 9 million result from a higher volume of intra-group transactions
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of CO2 emission allowances by PLN 50 million resulting mainly from a higher volume of intra-group transactions
  • (+) higher revenues from sales of goods and materials by PLN 5 million resulting from higher sales of scrap from the liquidation of galleries
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of other products and services by PLN 9 million resulting mainly from a change in presentation of sales revenuesfrom carriage fees(implementation of IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018)
  • (-) lower revenuesfrom sales of coal by PLN 215 million result from a higher volume of intra-group supplies
  • (-) an increase in the costs of employee benefits by PLN 241 million mainly due to EEP acquisition, rises paid in LWB, lower remunerations charged to expenditures in connection with the completion of Unit No. 11 investment and a change in the balance of actuarial provisions
  • (-) an increase in the costs of consumption of materials and raw materials and the value of goods sold by PLN 832 million results mainly from EEP acquisition in the end of Q1 2017, commissioning of the SCR installation in Połaniec Power Plant – consumption of ammonia water, launch of the operation of Unit No. 11 with a simultaneous increase in the costs of coal purchase and CO2 emission allowancesfor the whole Generation Area
  • (-) an increase in the costs of purchasing electricity and gas by PLN 1,103 million results mainly from the increase in average purchase prices:
    • (-) electricity: price: +12%; volume: +3,567 GWh
    • (-) natural gas: price: +14%; volume: -319 GWh
    • (-) higher purchase costs of property rights as a result of higher average prices by 48.8% and a change in the liability base from 15.4% to 17.5%

Q1-Q4 2018 EBITDA change drivers:

(-) EBITDA profitability: 26.7% in Q1-Q4 2018 vs. 39.8% in Q1-Q4 2017

(-) EBITDA profitability net of one-off events of 2017: 33.4% in Q1-Q4

(-) lower revenues from coal sales: lower sales volume -208,000 t (-2.3%), at a higher price and a higher adjustment for coal from preparation works

(+) higher revenues from sales of goods and materials – higher sales of scrap resulting from liquidated galleries

(-) a higher revenue adjustment due to the value of excavated coal - larger scope of preparatory works (+6.3 km) at a higher coal price

(-) higher extraction output by 915 thousand tonnes (+6.5%) – increase in production costs

(-) an increase in the nominal production cost (without depreciation):

  • higher costs of third-party services (a larger scope of works commissioned to third-parties: drilling and mining services, stone transportation and loading services, weekend and holiday services, and higher rates for the services),
  • higher remuneration costs (a pay rise paid together with an extra bonus as well as higher average employment by 157 employees[LWB S.A.])
  • higher costs of materials and energy
  • lower costs of taxes and levies (lower mining fee due to the lower output realised)

(+) in 2018, an increase in stocks of about PLN 13.9 million (a decrease in costs), as compared to the decrease in stocks (increase in costs) by PLN 11.5 million in 2017

(+) result on other operating activities – settlement of the arrangement entered into by and between the Company and the consortium of Mostostal Warszawa S.A. and Acciona Infraestructuras- a positive impact on EBITDA in the amount of PLN 28.7 million

Presentation differences concerning the financial reporting of ENEA Group and LW Bogdanka Group in the scope of depreciation.

The decrease in revenues from the sale of other products and services results primarily from the fact that, as a result of the adoption of the new IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" as of 1 January 2018, revenues from sales under this item were shown in the balance with the incurred costs (the amount of revenues was reduced by costs amounting to approximately PLN 10.7 million). In the previous year, revenues from transport were presented in an open order (change without impact on EBITDA).

LW Bogdanka divides its range of sales into energy-rich coal, which accounts for 99% and for pea and nut coal.

The main recipients are professional and industrial power industry.

Expected financial situation

In 2018, the Mining Area recorded lower results, mainly due to geological and hydrological events. When comparing year-on-year EBITDA of this segment, one cannot ignore the one-off event, i.e. the December 2017 release of the provision for employees' allowances in kind. In the following year, the sales volume of coal is expected to increase, with a gross extraction increase of about 2.2%. However, it should not be assumed that the unit cost of production will significantly decrease due to the observed consistent trend of increasing costs. In LW Bogdanka, work is underway to enable extraction from Ostrów Field, so we are expecting an increase in the investment outlays related to the preparation of underground infrastructure. LW Bogdanka's Management Board focuses on optimising processes and testing innovative solutions that could contribute to even higher profitability of coal extraction. More long-term activities are aimed at developing the mine and expanding the perspective of its operation, hence the subsequent applications for obtaining concessions to extract in new mining areas.

The Generation Area, which accounted for 37% of ENEA Group's EBITDA in 2018, recorded the largest year-on-year increase in the EBITDA result in all areas of ENEA Group's business activity. The volume of energy produced from both coal and renewable energy sources has increased significantly. However, hard coal-based production involves high exposure to the risk of increasing CO2 emission allowance prices, which in the period concerned reached an unprecedented level. In 2019, the Generation Area's revenue will be affected by a significantly decreasing number of free CO2 emission allowances in comparison to the previous years. The major repairs of generation units planned for 2019-2021, which will enforce relatively long periods of suspension of electricity production, are important factors for the revenue of the Generation area. Nevertheless, lower expected production of the existing generation assets is and will be compensated by Unit No. 11 in ENEA Wytwarzanie. Higher electricity production should be expected in the RES Segment. Following the commissioning of Unit 11 and due to the completion of preparatory work related to the adjustment of coal-fired units to the BAT conclusions in subsequent years, ENEA Group analyses larger investments in renewable energy sources. The Group's activities will focus on achieving appropriate indicators, a "mix" of energy sources, and a further reduction in emissions. It is also worth mentioning that the Capacity Market auctions closed in 2018 will significantly improve the area's flows from 2021 onwards and enable financing of all necessary investments, especially in the scope of the BAT conclusions.

Distribution is the area that stabilises financial flows, as it accounted for 47% of ENEA Group's EBITDA result obtained in 2018. In order to ensure the implementation of indicators determined by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, ENEA Group implements investments in the Distribution Area by enhancing security and stability of energy supplies. With a view to ensuring stable financial flows in the future, ENEA Group plans to maintain investment outlays related to the development of network at least at the unchanged level in the following years. In response to the encouragement of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, extensive investments in "smart grids" and AMI meters are being implemented in the Distribution Area. The implementation of adequate investments in this area will allow to obtain an awarded return on capital employed.

The Trading Area recorded significantly lower results in 2018, mainly due to increasing wholesale prices of electricity and the valuation of previously concluded contracts for the purchase of CO2 emission allowances. In 2019, the Trading Area remains affected by significant uncertainties on the implementation of the Act of 28 December 2018 amending the Excise Duty Act and certain other acts, as amended ("the Act"), limiting changes in electricity prices in 2019. Since we are currently awaiting the regulations implementing the aforementioned Act, it is impossible to estimate its impact on the results of ENEA Group. However, we cannot ignore that the Act provides for the possibility of

applying for the price difference coverage, and the legislator intends to balance the interests of end users of electricity and power companies responsible for its sales. As the Group is a closed value chain from coal mining to the sales of electricity to end users, it is possible to react flexibly to dynamic price increases and changing market and regulatory conditions, therefore, the financial standing of the Group remains safe.

In 2019, the Group will continue its activities related to the refinancing of debt due in subsequent periods and the financing of the investment process. It should be noted that the years 2020-2023 are the maturity period of a large part of the financing incurred in previous years by the energy industry entities. An additional difficulty is the decreasing number of entities willing to finance activities related to hard coal extraction or production of electricity from conventional coal-based sources. Encouragingly, the Group's flows will be supported by the Capacity Market auctions won and the related power supply contracts. The most important for the Generation Area is to obtain a 15-year contract for the supply of power from the mentioned Unit No. 11.

4) Data for 2018 take into account the changes resulting from the implementation of IFRS 9, while the balance sheet items for 2017 do not include new asset categories..

Change factors for fixed assets (a decrease of PLN 510 million):

  • an increase in investments in subsidiaries, affiliates and jointly controlled entities of PLN 849 million is mainly due to the acquisition of shares, among others, of Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. in the amount of PLN 90 million, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 220 million, ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. and ENEA Ciepło Serwis Sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 301 million and reversal of impairment losses on shares in the amount of PLN 201 million
  • a decrease in intra-group bonds of PLN 347 million (in 2018, bonds under the item debt financial assets in the amortized cost of PLN 6,424 million) is caused by a change in the balance of acquired bonds as a result of new issues, repayment of bond capital and reclassification of some bonds to current assets

Change factors for current assets (a decrease by PLN 19 million):

  • an increase in intra-group bonds of PLN 391 million (in 2018, bonds under the item debt financial assets at amortized cost of PLN 558 million) results from reclassification of fixed assets to the short-term part adjusted for received repayments of the bond capital
  • an increase in inventories of PLN 116 million relates to certificates of origin of electricity
  • an increase in trade and other receivables of PLN 125 million, costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract and assets due to contracts with customers, primarily relates to trade receivables (for a proper comparison with 2017, the deviation calculated taking into account PLN 37 million of loans in 2018)
  • a decrease in cash by PLN 600 million results mainly from the fact that ENEA S.A. operates as Pool Leader in the pool structure covering also other Group companies, which results in consolidation of the Group's cash on ENEA S.A.'s account; in the analysed period, the total balance of mutual settlements between ENEA S.A. and the other companies - participants of the pool cash structure decreased by approximately PLN 604 million
  • a decrease in current income tax assets of PLN 49 million

Financial instruments used

ENEA S.A. pursues the Interest Rate Risk Hedging Strategy, the main objective of which is to hedge cash flows resulting from concluded financing agreements. The adopted strategy assumes limiting the risk of impact on the financial result of changes in cash flows resulting from the risk of interest rate changes on the market within a specified time horizon. Based on the analysis of the interest rate market, taking into account the current valuations of IRS instruments and the estimated effectiveness of these instruments, as well as due to a slight increase in the level of debt based on variable interest rate - an increase by PLN 550,000 thousand due to the issue of bonds from the BGK Programme with a simultaneous decrease by PLN 170,000 thousand due to the conversion of the interest rate of the EIB Loan from variable to fixed, no interest rate risk hedging transactions were concluded in 2018.

Manging financial resources

ENEA Group manages financial resources in the short and long term. Financial resources are managed using the Cash Pooling mechanism. The Cash Pooling service allows for mutual balancing of accounts of the companies covered by the system due to differences in demand for cash. The day-to-day management of the liquidity of ENEA Group companies focuses on planning cash flows and monitoring the concentration of cash on bank accounts. The conducted activities are supported by quantitative analyses concerning the assessment of the liquidity situation in response to unfavourable conditions. Financial surpluses are managed from the central level. In order to unify the process of liquidity and liquidity risk management, ENEA Group companies have been covered by intra-group regulations, i.e. the policy and procedure for liquidity and liquidity risk management. The resulting shortages of cash of the Companies of ENEA Group are covered with the use of intraday limits. In case of lack of sufficient cash balance to cover shortages, ENEA Group has a possibility to use available sources of current financing. Management of financial resources in the long-term perspective focuses mainly on the identification of demand for cash and obtaining financing within the framework of emerging cash needs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activities of the Group are regulated by the current shape of the national legal system defining the framework for business activity in Poland, including in particular in the scope of the tax system, protection of competition and consumers, employee rights, or environment protection. It cannot be excluded that changes in these areas, both in specific legal acts as well as individual interpretationsrelating to significant areas of activity of the Group, can lead to possible liabilities of the Group's companies.

Internal energy market

In 2018, negotiations on the so-called trilogy on the final provisions of the Winter Package, which are of fundamental importance for the functioning of the energy sector, were completed. In particular, it should be noted that during the negotiations on the Regulation of the European Parliament on the internal energy market, the lack of support from national power markets for generating units not meeting the so-called standard of 550 gr CO2 / kWh emissions was established. However, as part of the compromise sought by the Polish delegation, it was agreed that units emitting more than 550g CO2 /kWh, which concluded power contracts as part of the main auctions finally resolved by 31 December 2019, may receive remuneration for the performance of the power obligation for the entire period for which support was obtained from the power market. This is a very important compromise in view of the fact that the power market is a state aid instrument which required the approval of the European Commission and must function in accordance with the regulations of the internal market of the European Union.

Moreover, in the course of trilogues, the EU RES Directive set the EU RES 2030 target of 32% in gross final energy consumption and the possibility of support for new biomass units with a capacity above 100 MW in the event of achieving electricity efficiency at the level of 36% and the Energy Efficiency Directive set the reduction of energy consumption in the EU by 32.5% by 2030.

The Energy Union Management Regulation (Governance) introduced the obligation to draw up a National Energy and Climate Plan as part of the implementation of the Energy Union, covering five dimensions: energy security, internal energy market, energy efficiency, decarbonisation, research, innovation and competitiveness.

The main objective of the Energy Union governance mechanism is to enable the achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union, in particular the objectives of the climate and energy policy framework by 2030 in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction, renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Demand for electricity

According to the forecasts included in the document entitled "Updated forecast of demand for fuels and energy until 2030", the demand for electricity in the forthcoming years will rise in all economy sectors. Pursuant to the abovementioned document, net electricity production will have risen to 193.3 TWh by 2030.

Moreover, pursuant to the document entitled "Conclusions from forecasting analyses for the energy sector"1) constituting an attachment to the Polish Energy Policy by 2040 project, the domestic electricity demand will reach nearly 200 TWh in 2030 and 230 TWh in 2040. At the same time the total increase in energy demand for electricity in 2020-2040 is 40.4%. The demand for peak power in this period will increase by 35.5%.

Key objectives and provisions of the Winter Package:

Decarbonisation:

  • Based on the WP regulations, in the long term, i.e. by 2050, the EU plans to transition to a zero-carbon economy – for this purpose, the so-called Energy Road Map for the EU by 2050 is being developed.

Intensive development of renewable energy sources (amendment of the RES Directive, i.e. RED II):

  • On 14 June 2018, a memorandum of understanding on long-negotiated provisions was agreed. With regard to the overall binding target for the share of RES in 2030, a 32% target was set with no binding national targets. In addition, a revision of the 2023 target was agreed.
  • In the context of state aid, the conditions for eligibility of biomass-fired power plants for financial support were specified. In the case of installations from 50 to 100 MW, the support was made dependent on the fulfilment of efficiency levels in accordance with the reference document BAT LCP (Best Available Techniques). For units with capacity above 100 MW, at least 36% electricity efficiency is required.
  • For the transport sector, the RES target for 2030 was set at 14% and by this year the elimination of the use of palm oil was agreed.

Increasing energy efficiency, with a binding EU target of 35% by 2030 – the draft Energy Efficiency Directive, related to support (transformation, modernisation) in the area of heating and cooling:

  • On 20 June 2018, negotiations on the final form of the legislation finished with an increase in the non-binding pan-European energy efficiency target of 32.5% compared to the 2007 energy consumption forecasts.
  • For the annual savings of energy sold to end users, the target of 0.80% was set.

Development of and support for electromobility in the EU, primarily in public transport (draft regulations constituting the so-called Clean Mobility Package, published by the European Commission in November 2017);

Draft design of a Single Electricity Market (SEM) – a new energy legal framework for the European Union introduced by the draft:

A detailed description can be found on Page 98, under the "Internal energy market" heading.

Energy Union Management System (EU Governance) – a regulation, the wording of which was agreed on 20 June 2018, regulates, among others:

  • Obligation for each Member State to notify, by the end of 2018, a draft of the first National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan ("NIECP") for the period 2021 to 2030 inter alia, the Member State's declared share of RES.
  • Obligation of Member States to evenly spread the growth of RES over 10 years (development trajectory reaching reference points 18% of the required growth will be achieved in 2022, 43% in 2025, and 65% in 2027).
  • Lack of clearly defined means of enforcing the objectivesfrom the Member Statesin the event of failure to meet the set objectives issuance of non-compulsory recommendations of the European Commission.

Mandatory development of grid infrastructure (cross-border interconnections); with the target of establishing the EU DSO Entity, new powers and competences of ACER and ENTSO-e at EU level.

Capacity Market

Last year, based on the rules stipulated in:

  • Act of 8 December 2017 on the power market,
  • Capacity market regulations approved by decision of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office of 30 March 2018,
  • Regulation of the Minister of Energy:
    • of 18 July 2018 on the execution of the capacity obligation, its settlement and demonstration, as well as the conclusion of transactions on the secondary market,
    • of 22 August 2018 on the parametersfor the main auctionsfor the delivery years 2021-2023,
    • of 3 September 2018 on financial collateral to be provided by powersuppliers and participantsin the preliminary auctions

Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. conducted the following capacity market processes:

  • general certification,
  • certification for the main auctionsfor the years 2021-2023,
  • main auction for 2021 on 15 November 2018
  • main auction for 2022 on 5 December 2018,

ENEA Połaniec S.A. participated in all the aforementioned processes and, as a result, concluded 2 capacity contracts for 5-year delivery periods 2021-2025, for Units No. 2 and No. 7. This results from the strategy of ENEA Group approved by decisions of the Management Board of ENEA S.A. before individual main auctions. The remaining units, with the exception of Unit No. 9, have been notified to participate in the secondary market. By decision of ENEA Group's Steering Committee on the Capacity Market, a contract will be concluded between ENEA Wytwarzanie and ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec on joint operation on the capacity market and mutual stand-by.

ENEA Wytwarzanie sp. o.o. also participated in all the aforementioned processes and, as a result, concluded:

    1. Nine capacity contracts for 5-year delivery periods 2021-2025, for Units Nos. 1-10 excluding Unit No. 3,
    1. One power contract for a 15-year delivery period of 2021-2035 for Unit No. 11,
    1. 1-year capacity contracts for delivery years 2021, 2022 and 2023, for three Capacity Market units from the RES Segment (Water) with the total capacity of 37.1 MW

These assumptions resulted from the strategy of ENEA Group approved by decisions of the Management Board of ENEA S.A. prior to individual main auctions. Unit No. 3 and coal units in Białystok Heat and Power Plant and MEC Piła have been notified to participate in the secondary market.

The European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS)

On 8 April 2018, Directive (EU) 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council introducing changes to the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading system came into force. The Directive establishes, inter alia, two financial mechanisms:

  • Modernisation Fund for the modernisation of energy systems in low income Member States. It is intended to be financed by proceeds from the auction of allowances in the years 2012 to 2030. The Fund is to be used primarily to support the development of energy efficiency and investments in renewable energy sources.
  • Innovation Fund to provide financial support for RES development, carbon capture and storage and innovative low-emission projects. It is to be supplied with funds from allowances, which otherwise would be allocated free of charge or sold through auctions.

In addition, the framework for Phase IV of the EU ETS as well as new rules for the Market Stabilisation Mechanism (MSM) have been established. Prusuant to them, since the beginning of 2019, the reduction rate of allowances in circulation has increased from 12% to 24%. Allowances are gradually transferred from the auctioning system to the market stability reserve. Starting from 2024, the rate of 12% will be restored. In Phase IV of the EU ETS, which will start at the beginning of 2021 and last until 2030, the linear reduction factor will also be increased from 1.74% to 2.2%. Both of these elements have an impact on the reduction of supply on the EU ETS market, and thus on the increase in prices of CO2 emission rights observed in 2018. At the peak of the increases, quotations of CO2 emission allowances increased more than three times as compared to the beginning of the year. The increased volatility on the CO2 emission allowances market also had a significant impact on the increased volatility on energy markets throughout Europe, also in Poland.

Financial markets(MiFID 2)

On 3 January 2018, came into force Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (MiFID 2), which is a legal act primarily concerning financial markets, but also affecting companies from the energy sector. Several key issues are relevant to the energy sector. Firstly, emission allowances and derivatives based on emission allowances have been unconditionally included in the list of financial instruments. Also, to the list were added commodity derivatives (including forward contracts for electricity and gas), which are equivalent to contracts concluded on organised markets, i.e. regulated markets, MTFs and OTFs. An exception will be the contracts traded on the OTF markets, settled by physical delivery, concerning the so-called wholesale energy products - i.e. transactions concerning electricity and gas falling within the scope of the REMIT regulation (the so-called REMIT carve-out). Classification of certain products as financial instruments will have an impact on the rules of trading in these instruments – conditions of trading, security and clearing. As a consequence, the existing Commodity Forward Instruments Market operated by TGE S.A. will ultimately be transformed into an OTF (organised trading platform). MiFID 2 also amended the rules for exemptions from the need to obtain permits from the financial supervision authority (KNF) to conduct brokerage activities with respect to financial instruments. As a result of this change, energy companies had to analyse their activities and adapt to the new requirements, or decide to obtain the status of an investment firm. MiFID 2 was implemented into the Polish legal system by the Act of 1 March 2018 amending the Act on trading in financial instruments and certain other acts, which entered into force on 21 April 2018.

Limits on Property Rights

GREEN

In the area of PMOZE_A (certificates of origin of energy generated from renewable sources), there has been a permanent surplus of rights on the market, which was reflected by the low price levels recorded in 2016 and in H1 2017. As at 27 April 2018, it is estimated that after the fulfilment of the obligation for 2017 around 25 TWh of active PMOZE_A will remain on registers. The Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 11 August 2017 determining the obligation level for the years 2018-2019 (17.5% and 18.5%, respectively) improved the perspective for the long-term handling of the surplus. In addition, the amendment to the RES Act (of 20 July 2017) and the interpretation of the Minister of Energy in the scope of the lack of possibility of settling the replacement fee as long as the unit replacement fee does not reach the maximum level (300.03 PLN/MWh), resulted in a strong increase in prices of PMOZE_A to the level of PLN 70/MWh and established a sustained upward trend.

LIGHT BLUE

In the area of PMOZE_BIO (certificates of origin of energy generated from agricultural biogas), the situation has completely changed when compared to the redemption obligation for 2016. In the first half of 2017, the prices reached a level of PLN 470/MWh. The valuation of the instrument came close to the level of the unit replacement fee (PLN 300.03/MWh) only after the publication of the first draft amendment to the RES Act in June 2017, conditionally unlocking the possibility of settling the replacement fee. Since this point in time, the prices of "light blue" property rights have remained above the replacement fee, but they are close to it (above PLN 317/MWh), with account taken of the purchaser's benefit resulting from the possibility of deducting the excise tax (PLN 20/MWh) for the fulfilment of the obligation through redemption of certificates of origin. The price trend is maintained due to the fact that the conditions for paying the replacement fee have been met since the beginning of 2018. This should continue as long as the average three-month PMOZE_BIO price is above the level of the unit replacement fee.

COGENERATION

The current system of property rights for cogeneration remained in effect until the end of 2018 and throughout 2018 legislative work was under way on a new support system operating on the basis of an auction system. The work was completed with the adoption of the Act of 14 December 2018 on the promotion of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration, which entered into force on 25 January 2019.

WHITE

In 2017, for the first time the moment of fulfilment of the obligation was set to the end of June, in connection with the new Act on Energy Efficiency of 20 May 2016. As a result, there are currently four indices for "white" property rights on the market, i.e.:

  • PMEF energy efficiency certificates issued on the basis of a system of tenders pursuant to the previous legal basis, subject to expiry as of 30 June 2019;
  • PMEF-2017 energy efficiency certificates issued for completed investments, for applications submitted in 2017 (outside the system of tenders), which, like "cogeneration" property rights, expired after 30 June 2018;
  • PMEF-2018 energy efficiency certificates issued for completed investments, for applications submitted in 2018 (outside the system of tenders), which, like "cogeneration" property rights, shall expire after 30 June 2019;
  • PMEF_F energy efficiency certificates issued for non-started investments pursuant to the Act of 20 May 2016, without expiry date.

On 20 July 2017, results of the last tender for investments in the field of energy efficiency, announced by the Energy Regulatory Office on 21 September 2016, were published. The projects selected in individual categories amounted in total to nearly 55% of the pool (806.743/toe in total). The growth in the number of PMEF on the market resulted in the fall of prices of the instrument in H2 2017. In the end, however, index prices returned to the average level of PLN 712/toe due to the appearance of information from the Ministry of Energy that if there is a risk that after the obligation for 2018, i.e. after 30 June 2019, unused PMEFs will remain on the registers, then measures may be taken to change the date of their redemption, i.e. extend their validity. The recent amendment to the Act on Energy Efficiency, although it facilitated the process of application for support for activities in favour of energy efficiency, in connection with the failure to initiate a tender procedure, it simultaneously reduced the PMEF_F supply though the limitation of support for a project to the amount of one average annual energy saving. This translated into the valuation of PMEF_F at a level of PLN 1,500/toe (similar to the unit replacement fee).

Termination of/withdrawal from property right purchase agreements by ENEA S.A.

On 28 October 2016, ENEA made a statement of termination of or withdrawal from all long-term property right purchase agreements resulting from the certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources (the socalled green certificates). These agreements became dissolved. he Company had to terminate/withdraw from the individual agreements as it has exhausted all possibilities of restoring contract balance and equivalence of the parties' performances due to the amendments to the law. The financial consequences of dissolving the abovementioned agreements will be the avoidance by the Company of the loss being the balance of the contractual prices and the market price of green certificates. At present, three cases are pending before the Regional Court in Poznań for declaring ineffectiveness of termination (withdrawal) by ENEA S.A. of (from) property right sale agreements. In addition, some proceedings are pending against ENEA S.A. for payment of the fee for property rights resulting from the deduction of payment for the damage caused to ENEA S.A. through the contracting party's non-fulfilment of its contractual obligation to participate, in good faith, in renegotiating the long-term property right sale agreements pursuant to the adaptation clause binding on the parties. The estimate total net value of ENEA's contractual liabilities was approx. PLN 1.187m net.

Variability and liquidity on the wholesale market

The doubled obligation to trade applicable as of the beginning of 2018 significantly contributed to the improvement of liquidity on all floors of the Polish Power Exchange. Therefore, in the framework of the annual frontal contract in the first quarter of 2018, transactions were made in a volume of 165.5%, larger than in relation to the analogical product in Q1 2017. High prices for the first quarter were also recorded on the RDN where the average price from Fixing 1 stood at a level of PLN 184.83/MWh, given a level of PLN 155.11/MWh in 2017. The increase of the spot price was largely influenced by changes in the generation structure of conventional plants, by higher prices of generation fuels, and higher environmental costs incurred. More expensive emission allowances resulted also in the change of moods in term contracting on the Polish Power Exchange, where transactions on the annual contract BASE Y-19 in the first quarter were made at an average price higher by PLN 25.75 than in the analogical period of the previous year in relation to BASE Y-18 product. On 11 October 2018, a bill amending the Energy Law Act of 10 April 1997 was submitted to the Sejm, which, among other things, imposes an obligation on power generators to sell their energy on commodity exchanges, on a market organised by an entity operating a regulated market on the territory of the Republic of Poland or on an organised trading platform operated by a company operating a commodity exchange within the meaning of the Act on Commodity Exchanges on the territory of the Republic of Poland. The aforementioned changes in the scope of the exchange obligation have been included in the Act of 9 November 2018 amending the Energy Law and certain other acts. The introduction of the proposed amendments resulted in including all generated electricity in the so-called exchange obligation as of the entry into force of the aforementioned Act, i.e. as of 1 January 2019.

REMIT

REMIT is the Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (Regulation on wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency). By virtue of the Regulation, the electricity market is subject to strict and restrictive rules of publication and public character of any information which may affect the prices of energy products on the wholesale energy market, including the absolute ban on market manipulation. REMIT provides for the obligation of registration of each market participant in the national register of market participants. Any market participant is obliged to report data on the transactions concluded on wholesale energy markets, including any orders placed. The duty of reporting to EW refers to the basic data on the capacity and use of generating infrastructure. Also, REMIT stipulates the obligation to make inside information public in the form of an announcement. REMIT prohibits market manipulation and attempts to manipulate the market and does not allow to use inside information. Under REMIT, regulatory authorities acquire the powersin the field of conducting investigations and enforcing the provisions of REMIT.

Act on electromobility and alternative fuels

On 28 December 2017, the Council of Ministers passed draft Act on electromobility and alternative fuels which was submitted by the Minister of Energy. Draft Act proposes the regulations whose aim is to stimulate electromobility development in Poland and the use of alternative fuels, including electricity, in transport. The Act set out the legal framework for expansion of the vehicle charging infrastructure, supporting the growth of the market and infrastructure of alternative fuels as well as innovative forms of transport. The Act was signed the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, on 5 February 2018 and came into effect come into effect 14 days after the day of its publication in the Journal of Laws.

Amendment to RES Act

On 29 June 2018, the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Act of 7 June 2018 amending the Act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts ("RES Act"). The purpose of the RES Act was to adapt the Polish regulations on state aid to the requirements that the European Commission set for the Republic of Poland in the notification procedure of the RES development support system. The RES Act regulates changes to the principles of the auction system. The effect of the implemented changes is also the abolition of the limit for participation in RES auctions for biomass combustion units with a total installed electrical capacity greater than 50 MW. In addition, in terms of biomass, the Act sets the share of agricultural biomassin the total biomass weight share at:

  • 85% for multi-fuel combustion installations and dedicated multi-fuel combustion installations with an installed electrical capacity greater than 5 MW
  • 10% for dedicated biomass combustion installations and hybrid systems with an installed electrical capacity greater than 20 MW.

These provisions are important, among others, from the point of view of Unit No. 9 of the Połaniec Power Plant because the unit will be able to participate in RES auctionsfor the first time.

In Q1 2019, work began on the draft of another act amending the Act on Renewable Energy Sources and some other acts. According to the justifications presented, the objective of the changes is to implement the tasks set out in the Polish energy policy until 2020, by reducing the burden on end users due to support systems for renewable energy sources and rising electricity prices. At the same time, the amendment will make it possible to conduct auctions for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources in 2019 by specifying in the transitional provisions the maximum quantities and values to be sold and setting reference prices, constituting the maximum value of the offer which may be submitted by the generator in the auction offer.

Impact of the Act amending the Excise Duty Act and certain other acts

On 28 December 2018, the Act amending the Excise Duty Act and certain other acts("the Act") was passed, effective from 1 January 2019. The Act, inter alia:

  • reduced excise duty for electricity sold to the final customer from 20 PLN/MWh to 5 PLN/MWh,
  • freezed the 2019 prices and rates of electricity charges to the final consumer to be applied by sellers at the level of the prices applied in 2018,
  • allowed sellers to apply to the Settlement Administrator (Zarządca Rozliczeń) defined in the Act for financing to cover the difference in revenues ("Price difference amount") from electricity trading for the benefit of final consumers.

The Act was amended with effect from 6 March 2019 ("Amended Act"). The text of the Act and its explanatory memorandum indicate that the legislator seeks to balance the interests of electricity users and energy companies. The text of the Act and its explanatory memorandum indicate that the legislator seeks to balance the interests of electricity users and energy companies. This leads to a conclusion that sellers should be compensated for their basically lost revenues. In some key areas, the Act makes references to the Regulation, which has not been published as on the day of this report.

Determination of the provision for onerous contracts as at 31 December 2018

As a result of the adoption of the Act, the Group analysed whether it is obliged, in terms of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, to create provisions for what is known as onerous contracts. According to reporting provisions, if a given contract or a group of contracts generate losses, the company should recognise an appropriate provision in the period in which the loss became unavoidable, unless it is not able to reliably determine the amount of the provision.

In view of the lack of implementing regulations to reliably determine the amount by which the Group will reduce revenues resulting from its contracts as a result of the obligation to change prices and rates in settlements with customers in 2019, for customers other than the tariff ones, The Group has estimated the financial effects of the Act to the extent possible and reliable. When estimating the value of the necessary provision, the following assumptions were made:

  • 1) existing legal status as at 31 December 2018,
  • 2) with respect to the determination of the costs of performance within the meaning of IAS 37, only direct costs (energy acquisition costs, property rights with the current rate of excise duty) were assumed, and indirect costs (own costs and profit) were disregarded. The question which of the costs should be taken into account when estimating the provision for onerous contracts was the subject of consideration by the IFRIC in 2017. The IFRIC stated that this issue was not clearly regulated, and the adoption of a solution is a matter of judgment of the preparer,
  • 3) for the purpose of determining the costs of energy purchase, market values have been assumed, without taking into account the fact that the cost of energy production within the Capital Group may be different than the market value. Sales volumes of electricity were adopted on the basis of amounts estimated for 2019 for the G segment in amounts similar to 2018. In 2018, households (including those mostly applying the G tariff) accounted for 22% of the total sales volume of the Company, while business customers accounted for the remaining 78% of the total sales volume.

As a result of the above assumptions, the following was established:

  • a) assuming prices binding in 2018 for customers from G tariff groups in the tariff regulated by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, the Company estimated the excess of minimum unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation over benefits from the contract at PLN 79 million. The loss results from the adoption of model costs of purchase of electricity in 2019 (costs of electricity and property rights and the excise tax rate at the level resulting from the Act) and the simultaneous application of sales prices from 2018. The sales volume results from the level of sales to customers in Tariff G planned for 2019. The Group established a provision for the above amount in the books of 2018.
  • b) based on the literal provisions of the Act and assuming the price list prices (excluding discounts and rebates) in force as at 30 June 2018 for other customers (i.e. business customers and other customers applying tariffs other than G), the estimated benefits from the performance of contracts were determined and compared with the minimum unavoidable costs of performance of these contracts. The analysis did not show any excess of such costs over benefits and therefore no provisions were created. The amended Act issued after 31 December 2018 specifies that the sales price applicable in their contract as at 30 June 2018 should be adopted for these customers, which will result in a decrease in revenues from the sale of electricity, resulting in a surplus of costs over revenues from already concluded contracts.
  • c) due to uncertainty as to the manner of determining the Amount of the price difference, recognition of any compensation assets as at 31 December 2018 has been waived.

Impact on subsequent reporting periods

As a result of the introduction of the Act in question, with effect from 1 January 2019, the Group applies prices and rates of electricity charges at the level of 2018 specified in the tariff approved by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for customers from the G tariff groups in settlements with end users. The provision, estimated and recognised as at 31 December 2018, is the best estimate of minimum losses, but it does not include the right to compensation, which may have a positive impact on the sales results for this tariff group.

With respect to other customers (mainly business ones), the Group applies contractual prices for 2019, in the absence of an approved regulation of the Minister responsible for energy. The adjustment to the provisions of the Act and the amended Act is assumed by the Group within the deadlines resulting from these provisions. The Group estimates that for this group of customers, the individual decrease in revenues will be determined by the difference in unit prices of electricity, which is reflected in the difference in average quotations of BASE 2018 and BASE 2019 on the wholesale electricity market and changes in market prices and percentage levels with respect to the obligation to obtain the required certificates of origin for redemption ("Obligations"). Revenues from electricity sales in 2018 for business customers amounted to PLN 3,568 million for the sales volume in this segment at the level of 15,974 GWh, which gives an average unit sales price of 223.36 PLN/MWh.

Electricity costs for the product with the highest liquidity, i.e. BASE Y listed on the Polish Power Exchange for 2019 (BASE Y-19) in the product quotation period amount to 237.11 PLN/MWh. The analogous price for the contract for 2018, i.e. BASE Y-18, amounted to 167 PLN/MWh. Differences in market valuation of Obligations which, in addition to the cost of purchasing electricity, are a component of the sale price to end users, despite a significant change in their structure, are very close to one year on year. As a result, the total cost in 2018 was 189.21 PLN/MWh, and for 2019 it is estimated at 258.49 PLN/MWh.

The Group does not identify premises for significant diversification of own costs and margins for the same structure of customers between 2018 and 2019. On the basis of the aforementioned available information, it is possible to adopt approximate values of the input parameters referred to in the Amended Act. However, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether they will be set at an analogous or similar level in the implementing regulations. Under the Act and the Amended Act, the Group is entitled to receive compensation resulting from the price cap taking into account both direct and indirect costs and margins; this applies to both the amounts included in the amount of the provision for losses in 2018 and potential losses that may arise in 2019. However, given the lack of implementing provisions, the Group is not in a position to determine the amount of compensation as at the date of this report and to determine how much compensation will compensate for potential losses.

The Group discloses known or determinable amounts, which are only a component of the result on sale of energy in order to indicate the potential scale of the difference between costs and revenues from sale. The difference calculated on the basis of such amounts may differ materially from the actual amounts that will be recognised after the issue of the implementing legislation.

The Group analyses the regulations on an ongoing basis and, at the time of publication of the implementing regulations and assumptions allowing to remove uncertainties and make reliable estimates, will identify the results of the analyses in terms of confidential information within the meaning of the MAR Regulation.

Situation in the domestic bituminous coal mining sector

The electricity price curve will be strongly dependent on the cost of production fuel sourcing. The need for restructuring of the mining sector in the mid-term shall translate into a change of prices of supplied energy resources. The direction of changes is not clear, however as the main element of the domestic electric generation cost it leads to the emergence of new risks connected with the term contracting process. In 2018, the output of the domestic sector wasslightly lower than in 2017, at a price increase of low-double-digit per cent. It is expected that the current level of domestic extraction in the country will be maintained.

Expansion of generation portfolio

Irrespective of the fact that the 1,075 MW unit was commissioned at Kozienice Power Plant, ENEA plans to engage in the construction of new sources or acquisition of existing ones. It will carry out some of these activities through partnerships with other energy groups. The implementation of this strategy will mean a significant increase in the significance of ENEA in the generation of electricity for the needs of the National Power System.

Operating Capacity Reserve (OCR)

  • OCR mechanism is conducted by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne Transmission System Operator(TSO) within the system services catalogue
  • For producers of energy it is an economic incentive to offer generating capacities to the TSO in the peak hours of demand for power
  • OCR includes the available generating capacity, being the surplus of the power available to the TSO over the contracts concluded to satisfy demand for elect
  • The unit price for OCR depends on the volume of generating capacity available to the TSO over the demand for electricity covered:
    • within energy sale agreements
    • on the Balancing Market as part of the free exchange

The unit price for OCR depends on the volume of generating capacity available to the TSO over the demand and may not be higher than the reference price which was 41.20 PLN/MWh for 2016, 41.79 PLN/MWh for 2017, 42.58 PLN/MWh for 2018 and 43.73 PLN/MWh for 2019.

The graph below presents the unit price for OCR depending on the volume of generation capacity available to the TSO:

In 2016, the rules were changed for settling OCR, which in previous periods resulted in the fact that in the hours during which the OCR unit price reached the maximum level the TSO did not fully use the budget designated for that service. Since 2016, new adjustment settlements were introduced (monthly and annual), which re-verify settlements and any unused funds for OCR are distributed among the units participating in the reserve. Since 2017, consumption units with the possibility of reducing the demand (DSR) are included within OCR. As of 2018, the OCR budget was increased.

2018 Tariff for electricity distribution servicesin the context of quality regulation and the so-called "anti-smog tariff"

The new model of quality regulation came into effect on 1 January 2016. According to its assumptions, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office made part of Operator's of the Distribution System (ODS) regulated revenue dependent on the quality of services provided by these entities. The service quality assessment takes place in the form of measurement of various indicators, including, without limitation, power supply reliability and the time of connection to the power grid. From the perspective of the approved 2018 Tariff for electricity distribution services, the quality regulation impact on the revenue achievable by the Company is negligible for 2018. Moreover, in connection with the Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 29 December 2017 on the detailed rules for determining and calculating rate structures and settlements in electricity trading, a new power tariff group G12as was established within the Tariff for electricity distribution services. It is to promote energy consumption during the so-called night consumption fall by setting preferential rates of the grid rate variable component. The conducted analysesindicate that itsimpact on ODS'srevenues is currently neutral.

Increased number of customerstaking advantage of the possibility of changing suppliersin 2018

The large number of active electricity sellers resulted in aggressive pricing policies of trading companies and pressure on the margin achieved from the sale of electricity to retail customers. In addition, it should be noted that more and more customers decide to change their energy supplier, although the dynamics of these changes was lower than in 2017. The number of TPA (Third Party Access) customers among enterprises (tariff groups A, B, C) at the end of December 2018 amounted to 201,005, i.e. increased by 6.8% (on 8.3% in 2017). On the other hand, among households (tariff group G), 604,612 customers benefited from the TPA rule as at 2018, i.e. an increase of 10.6% (on 18.2% in 2017) as compared to the end of December 2017. 1)

Exemption from the duty to submit the rate structures applicable to households

Pursuant to Article 49 of the Energy Law, the President of ERO may exempt a power enterprise from the duty to submit rate structures for approval, if the President finds that the enterprise operates on a competitive market. The release from such duty may have a positive impact on the margin on energy sales.

Significant trends in the Distribution area

New technologies emerging, Customers' rising expectations, and a dynamically changing economic environment in Poland and worldwide anticipate changes to the way of operation of the Distribution System Operator (DSO); in particular, they emphasise the need to implement innovative solutions in the area of distribution which lead to upgrade and extension of the distribution network enabling to absorb the leading trends in the power industry. Key trends are related to:

  • the development and implementation of smart grids,
  • the development and implementation of high-end IT systems supporting network management,
  • the occurrence of new institutional and technical solutions, such as clusters, power cooperatives, prosumer market, power warehouses, and electromobility,
  • implementation of R&D projects.

New technologies

Emerging new technologies, growing customer expectations and dynamically changing economic environment in Poland and around the world result in changes in the way DSO operates. They result in the necessity to implement a number of innovative solutions in the area of distribution, leading to the modernisation and expansion of the distribution network, taking into account the leading trends in the energy sector. The key trends are related to:

  • development and implementation of smart grids,
  • development and implementation of modern IT systems supporting network management,
  • the emergence of new institutional and technical solutions such as clusters, energy cooperatives, prosumer market, energy storage, electromobility,
  • conducting research and development (R&D) projects.

Quality regulation model

In 2018, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office carried out an evaluation of the quality regulation model for 2016-2020, developed in 2015. As a result of this evaluation, the President of ERO published a document entitled "Qualitative Regulation in the years 2018-2025 for Distribution System Operators (who unbundled their activities as of July 1, 2007)". The most important changes that have been introduced to the model of quality regulation, which will be in force from 2018, are as follows:

  • introduction of the so-called area indicators instead of 2 reliability indicators (SAIDI, SAIFI), area indicators were introduced with a division into 4 areas: large cities, towns with county rights, towns, and villages,
  • determination of a method for setting new long-term objectives (by 2025),
  • elimination from the calculation of reliability indicators of weather events of a catastrophic nature,
  • granting bonuses for achievement of final objectives of the quality regulation,
  • establishing a link between the penalty for failure to meet annual targets to the return on capital forming part of regulated revenue.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

GDPR is an EU legal act which entered into force on 25 May 2018 in all member states. It introduces new rules for the processing of personal data and imposes new obligations on data controllers. In its activities, ENEA Group takes into account the requirements of the new regulations, including ensuring an appropriate level of security for the processed personal data, primarily with a view to protecting the rights and freedoms of persons whose data are processed.

Court and administrative proceedings

As at the day of submitting this report, there are no pending proceedings regarding the liabilities or debt claims, to which ENEA S.A. or its subsidiary is a party. A detailed description of the proceedings is included in note 50 to the condensed consolidated mid-year financialstatements of ENEA Group for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2018.

Collective disputes

There are no pending collective disputes in any of the key companies being members of ENEA Group. In order to eliminate the risk and occurrence of a potential collective dispute, the management boards of the companiesremain in constant dialogue with the social partners.

Social Contract

ENEA Group conducts talks with the Social Party in order to conclude a new social contract.

Rating

On 1 October, Fitch Ratings affirmed ENEA S.A.'s long-term local- and foreign-currency Issuer Default Ratings at 'BBB' with stable outlooks. The affirmation reflects the Company's changed business profile with a higher contribution to EBITDA from riskier – according to Fitch – segments, i.e. electricity generation and coal mining. Still, the more predictable distribution of electricity remains an important part of the Company's operations.

ENVIRONMENT

Reduction of pollutant emissions

In accordance with EU regulations, and in particular Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (IED), as of 1 January 2016 new, more strict environment protection standards are applicable. Therefore all electricity producers in Poland who use first of all carbon-intensive technologies are obliged to adjust their power units to the new environmental requirements. To address the problems of entrepreneurs, EU law envisages a possibility of using derogation mechanisms. The alleviation of the IED requirements in the form of a derogation makes it possible to obtain additional time for adjusting generation units to the stricter air pollutant emission standards. On 17 August 2017, the so-called BAT conclusions (kBAT) for large combustion plants (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 of 31 July 2017 laying down BAT conclusions for large combustion plants in accordance with Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council) were published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Published kBATs introduce, among other things, stricter requirements (than in the IED) for pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust. The emission limit values (BATs) also cover the additional substances mercury, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia. In accordance with the requirements of the CNS, a 4-year adjustment period started on 17 August 2017.

Compliance with formal and legal requirements

ENEA Wytwarzanie

ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. takes advantage of a derogation resulting from the IED, namely the Transitional National Plan (TNP):

  • in relation to sulphur dioxide and dust emissions: Kozienice Power Plant (Units Nos. 1-10) together with Białystok Heat and Power Plant,
  • in relation to NOx emissions: Białystok Heat and Power Plant individually.

In the period of validity of TNP, i.e. from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2020, annual emission caps are applicable (the caps decrease year over year). The emission cap in the last year of applicability of TNP is defined at a level corresponding to the emission standard for a given pollutant, resulting from IED (in the case of Kozienice Power Plant 200 mg/m3 usr for SO2 and 20 mg/m3 usr for dust).

The emission of pollutants under TNP for Q1-Q4 2018 and the utilisation of the annual emission limits are presented in the table below.

Pursuant to the regulation of the Minister of Environment of 1 March 2018 on emission standards for certain installation types, fuel combustion sources and waste combustion or co-combustion installations (Polish Journal of Laws of 2018, item 680), in relation to Unit No. 11 for emission of all pollutants and in relation to Units Nos. 1-10 for NOx emissions, the following conditions for the compliance with the emissions standards apply:

  • a) none of the approved average monthly concentrations of substances exceeds 100% of the emission standard,
  • b) none of the approved average daily concentrations of substances exceeds 110% of the emission standard,
  • c) 95% of all approved average hourly concentrations of substances during the calendar year does not exceed 200% of the emission standard.

If even one of the conditionsspecified in items a), b), c) is not met, there is a risk that a penalty will be imposed for each hourly exceedance counted from the beginning of the year.

In 2018, there were no violations of formal and legal requirements.

Kozienice Power Plant meets the objectives set by the national and community law (IED directive, BAT conclusion). The power plant operates five flue gas desulphurisation (FDG) installations, which guarantee the required reduction of SO2 emissions from flue gases of all units. All units of the power plant are equipped with highly efficient electrostatic precipitators, which are upgraded on an ongoing basis in order to maintain high dust removal efficiency. All units (excluding Unit No. 3) are also equipped with selective catalytic NOx reduction (SCR) installations. The last SCR installation is currently under construction - for the 500 MW Unit No. 9 (including replacement of the electrostatic precipitator). During the last years, the domestic and rain-industrial sewage treatment plants for Units Nos. 9-11 have been upgraded.

Issues regarding Mining Area – LW Bogdanka:

Land reclamation

  • in 2018, reclamation works were commenced in the areas affected by mining damage in Nadrybie Wieś. The works consist in making a fish pond and elevating the area using mining waste, covering it with earth masses and afforestation. Completion date: Autumn 2019
  • maintenance of organized greenery, a waste disposal facility and post-industrial areas in the area of Pole Bogdanka, Nadrybie and Stefanów reclaimed in previous years, as well as railway facilities in Zawadowo is carried out on an ongoing basis

Surface protection

  • the impact of mining operation conducted in 2018 on the surface was manifested, just as in the previous years, mainly through the expansion of the surface area of the impact exerted so far
  • the maximum subsidence in the Puchaczów V mining area remains in the area of Bogdanka and Nadrybie Wieś villages and amounts to ca. 5.0 m in the central part of the subsidence trough in this region
  • just as it the previous years, the damage to buildings in 2018 was caused mainly in rural buildings, whereby the reported damage to buildings did not cause any hazard to users and was repaired on an ongoing basis
  • in 2018, the aggregate cost of redressing the damage caused by mining operation amounted to approx. PLN 5.37 m

Sanctions and fees which may be imposed on the Company for environmental protection purposes

  • mining activity involves the payment of operation fee, the fee for using the natural environment, and various other costs related to:
    • mining waste management,
    • reclamation of industrial waste land,
    • environmental monitoring,
    • preparing the land surveys and documentation necessary for the proper operation of the facility,
  • the operation fees are paid every 6 months to the bank accounts of the municipalities where the operation is carried out (60%) and to the National Environmental Protection and Water Management Fund (NFOŚiGW) (40%)
  • LW Bogdanka S.A. meets the standards in the field of environmental protection and was not required to pay any penalties for violating the conditions of using the environment set out in applicable legal regulations in 2018

Air protection

LW Bogdanka S.A. does not have any arranged emitter emitting dust and gases to the air

  • a non-arranged emitter is the extraction waste neutralisation plant at Bogdanka which may be the source of dusting on dry and windy days
  • Fugitive air emissions come from combustion of fuels in combustion engines used in the company and from combustion processes

Water and waste water management

Refers mainly to mine water, including:

  • rock mass drainage in the area of mine workings
  • re-use of water for fire protection and process purposes
  • pumping water to the Surface
  • mine water retention in a surface reservoir and sedimentation tank for the purpose of suspended solids reduction
  • water discharge from the reservoir through a system of drainage ditches and Rów Żelazny watercourse to Świnka river in the amount of approx. 14,957 m3 /24 hours
  • mine waters are characterised by the total contents of chlorides and sulphates in the amount of 990 mg/dm3
  • surface re-use of mine water (Zakład Przeróbki Mechanicznej Węgla, Łęczyńska Energetyka Sp. z o.o. under Water Treatment Station)

Waste management:

  • in 2018, the total increase in mining waste was 6,646.2 thousand tonnes
  • approx. 47% of waste was subject to recycling and management. The amount of recycled waste, i.e., waste used for industrial waste land reclamation, road and yard hardening, cement production at "Ożarów" Cement Production Plant, and for other purposes, was 3,093.1 thousand tonnes
  • 97% of waste is used to perform reclamation of industrial waste land. Reclamation consists in restoring the original relief of such land through filling sand pits with mining waste, covering them with a layer of soil and its agricultural or forest development
  • other extraction waste (3,553.0 thousand tonnes) is stored in the extraction waste neutralisation facility in Bogdanka
  • LW Bogdanka S.A. manages other industrial waste: it releases to the licenced entities any waste which is capable of reuse (timber, used oils, scrap metal, scrap conveyor belts) or intended for neutralisation (used light sources, glue and paint packaging, etc.)

7. Corporate governance

DECLARATION ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE APPLICATION

Description of the key features of the issuer's internal control and risk management systems in relations to the process of preparing consolidated financial statements

Principles and procedures of preparing financial statements are in particular regulated by the International Financial Reporting Standards, Act on accounting and internal procedures functioning in ENEA S.A.

Establishment of systems of internal control and risk management as regards the process of preparation of consolidated financial statements aims particularly at guaranteeing the completeness and correctness of financial information included in financial statements and interim reports. The Management Board of ENEA S.A. is responsible for the internal control system in ENEA Group and its effectiveness in the process of drawing up financial statements and periodic reports. The task of an effective internal control system in financial reporting is to ensure that the financial information set out in financial statements and periodic reports is complete and correct. Financial statements and periodic reports and monthly management and operating reporting applied by ENEA S.A. are based on data derived from the financial and bookkeeping system of the Company. After all the predetermined processes of closing the accounts books at the end of each month have been carried out, detailed management reports on financial and operational matters are drawn up. Those reports are drawn up by the Group's Controlling Department, with the participation of middle and senior managers from individual organisational units. In relations to the completed reporting periods, not only financial results of the Company are subject to a detailed analysis, but also particular business areas.

The Company also carries out annual reviews of business and financial strategies and plans. Middle and senior management personnel are particularly engaged in the process of detailed planning and budgeting, which covers all the areas of ENEA Group's operations. The Company's Management Board adopts the material and financial plan prepared by the Group's Controlling Department, and the Supervisory Board approves that plan. During the year, the Company's Management Board supervises the realisation of goals specified in the approved material and financial plan. The management cockpit developed by the Group's Controlling Department in cooperation with other Departments constitutes a valuable source of information for the Supervisory Board on the current financial situation, environment and the level of realisation of goals in the critical areas.

The Company applies coherent accounting principles and presents financial data in financial statements, periodic financial reports and other reports disclosed to the shareholders.

ENEA Group regularly assesses the quality of its internal control and risk management systems with regard to the process of drawing up financial statements. On the basis of an assessment, the Management Board of ENEA S.A. confirms that as at 31 December 2018 there were no irregularities that could significantly affect the effectiveness of internal control as it relates to financial reporting.

As part of the risk management process related to the procedure of preparing financial statements, one of the basic elements of the external control is verification of the financial statements by an independent auditor. The tasks of the auditor include in particular: a review of the mid‐year financial statements and an audit of the non‐consolidated and consolidated annual financial statements. The independent auditor is selected by the Supervisory Board. Once the auditor has completed auditing the financial statements, they are sent to the members of the Company's Supervisory Board, which assesses the non-consolidated and consolidated financial statements with regard to their compliance with the accounts book, documents and the factual status. Under the provisions of the Accountancy Act, the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board are obliged to ensure that the financial statements and the report on operations fulfil the requirements set out in that act.

The internal audit function, performed by the Audit Management Division is an important element of the internal control system. The internal audit in ENEA Group is independent, and accountable to the Audit Committee acting as part of the Supervisory Board. The basic tasks of the internal audit include e.g. supporting the effectiveness of internal control system, risk management and Compliance system, through: independent evaluation of the above mentioned systems, examination and evaluation of control mechanisms in the processes implemented by ENEA Group companies, recommending improvements, inter alia, in the area of corporate governance, and monitoring the effectiveness of implementation of the issued recommendations.

Cooperation with the audit company

Main assumptions of the Policy for the selection of an audit firm to conduct an audit in ENEA S.A.

The audit firm selection polity applicable in ENEA S.A. mainly assumes the avoidance of any conflicts of interests in such a way that, prior to the acceptance or continuation of audit engagement, the audit firm declares whether the independence requirements are fulfilled (both with regard to the audit firm and statutory auditor), and in particular whether any threats to independence arise in relation to ENEA S.A. The audit firm confirms annually to the audit committee its independence and discusses any threat to its independence as well as the safeguards applied to mitigate those threats. In addition, when selecting an audit firm, the audit team's experience in auditing, its competence, financial criteria and human resources are taken into account. The selection of an audit firm shall respect the principle of impartiality and independence of the audit firm, in accordance with the legal provisions on mandatory rotation of audit firms and key statutory auditors, mandatory grace periods and results of audit firm inspections contained in the annual report published by the Audit Supervision Authority. The audit firm selection policy shall also ensure the rotation of audit firms and statutory auditors in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 11 May 2017 on Statutory Auditors, Audit Firms and Public Oversight (Dz.U. of 2017, item 1089, as amended) ("Act on Statutory Auditors").

Main assumptions of the Policy on the provision of acceptable services other than audits by an audit firm

ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries may use acceptable services (defined in Article 136 of the Act on Statutory Auditors) provided by an audit firm conducting an audit of ENEA S.A.

The policy of providing acceptable services other than audits by an audit firm includes a closed catalogue of acceptable services, the provision of which shall be possible only in the scope not related to the tax policy of the companies belonging to ENEA Group. The acceptable service other than audit may be provided by an audit firm conducting an audit of ENEA S.A. provided that it has been previously approved by the audit committee following an assessment of threats to and safeguards for the audit firm, the key statutory auditor and other audit team members. Additionally, should the audit firm conducting an audit of ENEA S.A. provide acceptable services other than audits for at least three consecutive financial years, then the remuneration for the provision of such services is limited to 70% of the average remuneration over the last three consecutive financial years paid for the statutory audit of ENEA S.A. and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries and consolidated financial statements of this group of companies. In case of prohibited services, i.e. services other than acceptable services, they cannot be provided directly or indirectly in ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries by the audit firm conducting an audit of ENEA S.A. from the beginning of the audited period until the issuance of a report from the audit.

In 2018, the Company received acceptable services other than audits provided by the audit firm examining the financial statements, and the approval by the audit committee of the Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. of acceptable services other than audits followed the assessment of threats to and safeguards for the independence. The recommendation of the audit committee of the Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. on the selection of the audit firm to conduct an audit satisfied the applicable conditions and was drawn up following the Company's selection procedure meeting the applicable conditions.

3. INFORMATION CONCERNING EXPECTED EVENTS AND ISSUES BEING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS

Internal energy market

In 2018, negotiations on the so-called trilogy on the final provisions of the Winter Package, which are of fundamental importance for the functioning of the energy sector, were completed. In particular, it should be noted that during the negotiations on the Regulation of the European Parliament on the internal energy market, the lack of support from national power markets for generating units not meeting the so-called standard of 550 gr CO2 / kWh emissions was established. However, as part of the compromise sought by the Polish delegation, it was agreed that units emitting more than 550g CO2 /kWh, which concluded power contracts as part of the main auctions finally resolved by 31 December 2019, may receive remuneration for the performance of the power obligation for the entire period for which support was obtained from the power market. This is a very important compromise in view of the fact that the power market is a state aid instrument which required the approval of the European Commission and must function in accordance with the regulations of the internal market of the European Union.

Moreover, in the course of trilogues, the EU RES Directive set the EU RES 2030 target of 32% in gross final energy consumption and the possibility of support for new biomass units with a capacity above 100 MW in the event of achieving electricity efficiency at the level of 36% and the Energy Efficiency Directive set the reduction of energy consumption in the EU by 32.5% by 2030.

The Energy Union Management Regulation (Governance) introduced the obligation to draw up a National Energy and Climate Plan as part of the implementation of the Energy Union, covering five dimensions: energy security, internal energy market, energy efficiency, decarbonisation, research, innovation and competitiveness.

The main objective of the Energy Union governance mechanism is to enable the achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union, in particular the objectives of the climate and energy policy framework by 2030 in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction, renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Electricity demand

According to the documents: "Updated Forecast of Fuel and Energy Demand until 2030" and "Conclusions from Prospective Analyses Made for Energy Policy of Poland until 2050" in the coming years demand for electricity will increase in all sectors of the economy. Thus, until 2030, net electricity generation is expected to increase to the level of 193.3 TWh and until 2050 electricity generation will increase by about 40% – from 158 TWh in 2010 to 223 TWh in 2050 1) . Notwithstanding the above, the Ministry of Energy is currently working on a new energy policy for Poland, which will set out the government's long-term vision for the energy sector.

European system EU ETS

On 8 April 2018, Directive (EU) 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council introducing changes to the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading system came into force.

The Directive establishes, inter alia, two financial mechanisms:

  • Modernisation Fund for the modernisation of energy systems in low income Member States. It is intended to be financed by proceeds from the auction of allowances in the years 2012 to 2030. The Fund is to be used primarily to support the development of energy efficiency and investments in renewable energy sources.
  • Innovation Fund to provide financial support for RES development, carbon capture and storage and innovative low-emission projects. It is to be supplied with funds from allowances, which otherwise would be allocated free of charge or sold through auctions.

In addition, the framework for Phase IV of the EU ETS as well as new rules for the Market Stabilisation Mechanism (MSM) have been established. Prusuant to them, since the beginning of 2019, the reduction rate of allowances in circulation has increased from 12% to 24%. Allowances are gradually transferred from the auctioning system to the market stability reserve. Starting from 2024, the rate of 12% will be restored. In Phase IV of the EU ETS, which will start at the beginning of 2021 and last until 2030, the linear reduction factor will also be increased from 1.74% to 2.2%. Both of these elements have an impact on the reduction of supply on the EU ETS market, and thus on the increase in prices of CO2 emission rights observed in 2018. At the peak of the increases, quotations of CO2 emission allowances increased more than three times as compared to the beginning of the year. The increased volatility on the CO2 emission allowances market also had a significant impact on the increased volatility on energy markets throughout Europe, also in Poland.

Property Rights Limits

GREEN

In the area of PMOZE_A (certificates of origin of energy generated from renewable sources), there has been a surplus of rights on the market, which resulted in low price levels recorded in 2016 and in H1 2017. As at 27 April, it is estimated that after the fulfilment of the obligation for 2017 around 25 TWh of active PMOZE_A will remain on registers The Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 11 August 2017 determining the obligation level for the years 2018-2019 (17.5% and 18.5%, respectively) improved the perspective for the long-term handling of the surplus.

3. INFORMATION CONCERNING EXPECTED EVENTS AND ISSUES BEING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS

In addition, the amendment to the RES Act (of 20 July 2017) and the interpretation of the Minister of Energy concerning the lack of possibility of paying a replacement fee as long as the unit substitution fee has not reached the maximum level (PLN 300.03/MWh) resulted in a strong increase in prices of PMOZE_A above the level of PLN 70/MWh and established the ongoing sustained upward trend.

LIGHT BLUE

In the area of PMOZE_BIO (certificates of origin of energy generated from agricultural biogas), the situation has completely changed when compared to the redemption obligation for 2016. In the first half of 2017, the prices reached a level as high as PLN 470/MWh. The valuation of the instrument came close to the level of the unit replacement fee (PLN 300.03/MWh) only after the publication of the first draft amendment to the RES Act in June 2017, conditionally unlocking the possibility of settling the replacement fee on a conditional basis. Since this point in time, the prices of "light blue" property rights has remained above the replacement fee, but they are closer to it (above PLN 317/MWh), with account taken of the buyer's benefit resulting from the possibility of deducting the excise tax (PLN 20/MWh) for the fulfilment of the obligation through redemption of certificates of origin. The price trend is maintained due to the fact that the conditions for paying the replacement fee have been met since the beginning of 2018. This should continue as long as the average three-month PMOZE_BIO price is above the level of the unit replacement fee.

COGENERATION

The current system of property rights for cogeneration will remain in effect until the end of 2018 and legislative work is under way on a new support system operating on the basis of an auction system. The work was completed with the adoption of the Act of 14 December 2018 on the promotion of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration, which will enter into force on 25 January 2019.

WHITE

In the previous year, for the first time, the moment of fulfilment of the obligation was set to the end of June, in connection with the new Act on Energy Efficiency of 20 May 2016. As a result, there are currently four indices for "white" property rights on the market, i.e.:

• PMEF – energy efficiency certificates issued on the basis of a system of tenders pursuant to the previous legal basis, subject to expiry as of 30 June 2019;

  • PMEF energy efficiency certificates issued for completed investments, for applications submitted in 2017 (outside the system of tenders), which, like "cogeneration" property rights, shall expire after 30 June 2018;
  • PMEF-2018 energy efficiency certificates issued for completed investments, for applications submitted in 2018 (outside the system of tenders), which, like "cogeneration" property rights, shall expire after 30 June 2019;
  • PMEF_F energy efficiency certificates issued for non-started investments pursuant to the Act of 20 May 2016.

On 20 July 2017, results of the last tender for investments in the field of energy efficiency, announced by the Energy Regulatory Office on 21 September 2016, were published. The projects selected in individual categories amounted in total to nearly 55% of the pool (806.743/toe in total). The growth in the number of PMEF on the market resulted in the fall of prices of the instrument in H2 2017. In the end, however, index prices returned to the average level of PLN 712/toe due to the appearance of information from the Ministry of Energy that if there is a risk that after the obligation for 2018, i.e. after 30 June 2019, unused PMEFs will remain on the registers, then measures may be taken to change the date of their redemption, i.e. extend their validity. The recent amendment to the Act on Energy Efficiency, although it facilitated the process of application for support for activities in favour of energy efficiency, in connection with the failure to initiate a tender procedure, it simultaneously reduced the PMEF_F supply though the limitation of support for a project to the amount of one average annual energy saving. This translated into the valuation of PMEF_F at a level of PLN 1,500/toe (similar to the unit replacement fee).

The Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels

On 28 December 2017, the Council of Ministers passed draft Act on electromobility and alternative fuels which was submitted by the Minister of Energy. Draft Act proposes the regulations whose aim is to stimulate electromobility development in Poland and the use of alternative fuels, including electricity, in transport. The Act is to set out the legal framework for expansion of the vehicle charging infrastructure, supporting the growth of the market and infrastructure of alternative fuels as well as innovative forms of transport. The Act was signed the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, on 5 February 2018 and will come into effect come into effect 14 days after the day of its publication in the Journal of Laws.

3. INFORMATION CONCERNING EXPECTED EVENTS AND ISSUES BEING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS

Amendment to the RES Act

On 29 June 2018, the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Act of 7 June 2018 amending the Act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts ("RES Act"). The purpose of the RES Act was to adapt the Polish regulations on state aid to the requirements that the European Commission set for the Republic of Poland in the notification procedure of the RES development support system. The RES Act regulates changes to the principles of the auction system. The effect of the implemented changes is also the abolition of the limit for participation in RES auctions for biomass combustion units with a total installed electrical capacity greater than 50 MW. In addition, in terms of biomass, the Act sets the share of agricultural biomass in the total biomass weight share at:

  • 85% for multi-fuel combustion installations and dedicated multi-fuel combustion installations with an installed electrical capacity greater than 5 MW
  • 10% for dedicated biomass combustion installations and hybrid systems with an installed electrical capacity greater than 20 MW.

These provisions are important, among others, from the point of view of Unit No. 9 of the Połaniec Power Plant because the unit will be able to participate in RES auctionsfor the first time.

In Q1 2019, work began on the draft of another act amending the Act on Renewable Energy Sources and some other acts. According to the justifications presented, the objective of the changes is to implement the tasks set out in the Polish energy policy until 2020, by reducing the burden on end users due to support systems for renewable energy sources and rising electricity prices. At the same time, the amendment will make it possible to conduct auctions for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources in 2019 by specifying in the transitional provisions the maximum quantities and values to be sold and setting reference prices, constituting the maximum value of the offer which may be submitted by the generatorin the auction offer.

2018 Tariff for electricity distribution services in the context of quality regulation and the socalled "anti-smog tariff"

The new model of quality regulation came into effect on 1 January 2016. According to its assumptions, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office made part of Distribution System Operator's (DSO) regulated revenue dependent on the quality of services provided by these entities. The service quality assessment takes place through measurement of several indicators, including power supply reliability and the time of connection to the power grid. Moreover, in connection with the Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 29 December 2017 on the detailed rules for determining and calculating rate structures and settlements in electricity trading, a new power tariff group G12as was established within the Tariff for electricity distribution services. It is to promote energy consumption during the so-called night consumption fall by setting preferential rates of the grid rate variable component. Performed analyses indicate that the impact of the above mentioned regulation on the revenue which ENEA S.A. could reasonably generate is negligible.

Significant trends in the Distribution area

New technologies emerging, Customers' rising expectations, and a dynamically changing economic environment in Poland and worldwide anticipate changes to the way of operation of the DSO; in particular, they emphasise the need to implement innovative solutions in the area of distribution which lead to upgrade and extension of the distribution network enabling to absorb the leading trendsin the power industry.

Key trends are related to:

  • the development and implementation of smart grids
  • the development and implementation of high-end IT systems supporting network management
  • the occurrence of new institutional and technical solutions, such as clusters, power cooperatives, prosumer market, power warehouses, electromobility
  • implementation of R&D projects

Model of quality regulation

In 2018, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office carried out an evaluation of the quality regulation model for 2016-2020, developed in 2015. As a result of this evaluation, the President of ERO published a document entitled "Qualitative Regulation in the years 2018- 2025 for Distribution System Operators (who unbundled their activities as of July 1, 2007)". The most important changes that have been introduced to the model of quality regulation, which will be in force from 2018, are as follows: introduction of the so-called area indicators instead of 2 reliability indicators (SAIDI, SAIFI), area indicators were introduced with a division into 4 areas: large cities, towns with county rights, towns, and villages; determination of a method for setting new long-term objectives (by 2025); elimination from the calculation of reliability indicators of weather events of a catastrophic nature; granting bonuses for achievement of final objectives of the quality regulation; establishing a link between the penalty for failure to meet annual targets to the return on capital forming part of regulated revenue.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

GDPR is an EU legal act which entered into force on 25 May 2018 in all EU member states. It introduces new rules for the processing of personal data and imposes new obligations on data controllers. In its business activity ENEA Group complies with the requirements of the new provisions, ensuring the adequate level of security of the personal data processed, as well as the protection of rights and freedoms of persons whose data is processed by the Group.

1) Not taking into account Elektrownia Połaniec S.A., taken over by ENEA in March 2017.

2) In 2017, as a result of launching a new power unit at ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. in Kozienice and the takeover of Elektrownia Połaniec, ENEA Group significantly enhanced its generation capacities.

3) SAIFI and SAIDI indices relate to planned and unplanned interruptions (including catastrophic interruptions) in the supply of electricity. In 2017, SAIDI and SAIFI indices were significantly affected by the extensive destruction of the network caused by cyclones Xaver and Gregory.

5) Values of SAIDI and SAIFI reliability indices are values of uncleaned indices. According to the new Quality Regulation in 2018-2025 for Distribution System Operators, these indices are subject to purification. The presented ratios for 2018 have not yet been finally recalculated (as at 23 January 2019). This means that the final indicators for 2018 may still slightly change.

4) In 2018, the indicator was revised by 0.01 minutes.

ENEA Group manages its business-related risks in a systematic manner. The concept of enterprise risk management (ERM) within ENEA Group is based on a coordinated model. The process of enterprise risk management (ERM) aims at maximum protection of the Group against the effects of materialisation of the identified risks.

In the adopted model, ENEA S.A. coordinates the process of enterprise risk management through dedicated organisational units. Implementation of the adopted assumptions is possible thanks to the structure of ENEA S.A. which includes the Risk Management Department, consisting of two offices responsible, respectively, for financial risk management and enterprise risk management, business continuity management and insurance management. At the same time, the structure of companies belonging to the Group includes units responsible for the area of risk management, which cooperate with the Risk Management Department of ENEA S.A. There is an organisational division within the Companies into Front-, Middle- and Back Office.

The efficiency of the enterprise risk management process is ensured by:

  • a system of business continuity management which aims at the identification of processes critical to the business activity of the companies belonging to ENEA Group and the implementation of such mechanisms and procedures which will ensure their continuity in an emergency situation,
  • identification of non-financial risks at the level of individual companies belonging to ENEA Group, resulting from the specific nature of business activity exercised,
  • division of the process into specific segments for which documentation has been prepared in the form of policies, procedures and methodologies,
  • division of the process into stages covering the identification and assessment of new risks, monitoring of existing risks and their reporting,
  • operational management of risk by the companies belonging to ENEA Group within the limits granted and in accordance with principles approved by the ENEA Group Risk Committee.

Policies, Procedures and Methodologies regulating issues relating to risk management in ENEA Group:

  • Enterprise Risk Management Policy of ENEA Group (ERM Policy)
  • Enterprise Risk Management Methodology of ENEA Group
  • Liquidity Management and Liquidity Risk Management Policy of ENEA Group
  • Liquidity Management and Liquidity Risk Management Procedure of ENEA Group
  • Foreign Exchange Risk Management and Interest Rate Risk Management Policy of ENEA Group
  • Foreign Exchange Risk Management and Interest Rate Risk Management Procedure of ENEA Group
  • Credit Risk Management Policy of ENEA Group,
  • Credit Risk Management Procedure of ENEA Group,
  • Commodity Risk Management Policy of ENEA Group,
  • Commodity Risk Management Procedure of ENEA Group,
  • Business Continuity Management Policy of ENEA Group,
  • Business Continuity Management Methodology of ENEA Group,
  • Insurance Policy of ENEA Group,
  • The Policy of ENEA Group for ensuring integrity and transparency in the electricity and natural gas wholesale market,
  • The Policy of ENEA Group for Preventing Abuse in Financial Instruments Markets in the Area of Commodity Derivatives, Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowances and Bundled Products.

The risk management model is additionally described on Pages 53-56 of "Report of the Management Board on the operations of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2018".

1) Since 25 May 2018, all Member States of the European Union are bound by the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC – also known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

ENEA Group is aware of its operations' environmental impact and makes every effort to minimise any possible negative effects of its activity. The approach to using natural resources is regulated by the Code of Ethics of ENEA Group, which sets out the "Rules of conduct of ENEA Group", which point to the concern for the natural environment. In line with this, ENEA Group:

  • − cares for the natural environment and takes all actions necessary to protect it, regardless of the place and type of performed operations,
  • − uses the natural resources and energy in a reasonable way,
  • − strives for ensuring proper natural environment protection, observing the provisions of the generally applicable law, as well as the internal regulations,
  • − joins actions and actively participates in educational campaigns for environmental protection and development of environmental awareness,
  • − takes actions to prevent any breakdowns dangerous for the natural environment.

Compliance Policy of ENEA Group is a significant document on environmental protection. The content of the document indicates attention to sustainable development and the natural environment, which is, inter alia, reflected by:

  • − actions to minimise pollution emissions and to ensure reasonable natural resources management,
  • − initiatives for retaining the balance between the Group's operations and the natural environment,
  • − carrying out investments using eco-friendly technologies,
  • − supporting RES,
  • − cooperation with environmental organisations.

In 2018, ENEA Group companies recorded no significant non-financial fines or sanctions for non-compliance with laws or regulations pertaining to environmental protection.

ENEA Group's priority is to generate and deliver electricity in a reliable, safe and eco-friendly way by using the best available solutions and technologies minimising the Group's operations' negative impact on the environment. For ENEA Group, it is also important to retain the animate and inanimate nature near the companies in an unchanged or optimal condition. For this purpose, the Group's companies carry out operations allowing to maintain the biodiversity, as well as stability of ecosystems and ecological processes.

Due to the need to introduce separate principles of exploitation of the natural environment in particular sectors, the Group's companies implement the basic processes in accordance with the adopted policies, instructions and rules which oblige them to minimise the negative environmental impact through limiting the air pollutant emissions and safe waste management, including its appropriate segregation. recycling or utilisation in line with the provisions on environmental protection. Furthermore, the Group's companies apply procedures indicating the methodology of monitoring and measuring the environmental impact related to the identified environmental aspects, as well as the rules of analysis and documentation of results and effects of environmental activities.

ENEA Group's area of particular interest is water and sewage management. Due to the fact that the Group's operations entail consumption of significant amounts of water, the companies observe the internal instructions regulating the above mentioned area.

Waste management is also very important. The companies apply procedures whose purpose is to identify the waste generated in the process of business activity and to determine the method of handling the waste generated. The above principles often bind also the external entities performing work on the premises of and for the companies.

The major due diligence policies, standards and procedures implemented in the area of environmental management in ENEA Group companies include:

1) Environmental issues related to the area of Mining – Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" S.A. was also described on Page 114 of "Report of the Management Board on the operations of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2018".

One of the main priorities of ENEA Group related to the environmental area is conscious and rational management of the existing resources and operating in a safe, environmentally friendly way and in line with all legal requirements. Significant actions undertaken by the Group's companies in the environmental area involve the initiatives contributing to electricity savings and elimination of environmentally hazardous materials from its operations. Spreading environmental awareness and increasing the Employees' knowledge of rational exploitation of the environment are inseparable elements of this activity.

In 2018, ENEA Group held numerous operations contributing to the reduction of negative impact on the environment. Activities in this area involve large-scale investments and minor changes in the methods of using the environment in daily work.

In 2018, ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. made a number of investments, with a positive impact on the natural environment due to lowering the emission level of nitrogen oxides and particles. 1) The most important include:

  • development of the catalytic flue gas denitrification installation (SCR) for boilers AP-1650 of the 500 MW Units No. 9 and No. 10,
  • development of additional trip valves on the heavy fuel oil installation,
  • modernisation of flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) installations Nos. I, II and IV,
  • modernisation of electrostatic precipitators for 200 MW Units Nos. 1-8,
  • Installation of continuous measurement system on the emitters, resulting from the BAT conclusions,
  • construction of installation for heavy metals reduction in the FGD wastewater,
  • turbine set upgrade in the Units No. 9 and No. 10 in order to decrease the unit consumption of heat.

Actions aimed to exploit alternative energy sources were also implemented within the Group. Thus, the Group completed the investment in a photovoltaic power plant in Poznań with the maximum capacity of 19.2 kW in 2018. The installation consists of 64 photovoltaic panels. The generated electricity is synchronised with the energy network. It is a pro-environmental renewable energy source.

In 2018, ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. completed the modernisation of the FGD sewage treatment plant and development of Unit No. 4 of the SCR catalytic converter, which resulted in the nitrogen oxides emission reduction from approx. 500mg/Nm³ to below 200 mg/Nm³. The company also modernised the electrostatic dust precipitators of Units Nos. 2-7, thus reducing emissions of particles.

In 2018, the Group completed the modernisation of the lighting infrastructure in some of the cities and communes. The actions involved substituting the old, overexploited fittings with new, energy-efficient fittings with better performance. The solution contributed to the reduction of electricity consumption and costs, at the same time increasing the citizens' security.

ENEA Centrum Sp. z o.o. made investments for ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. related to the modernisation and monitoring of the installations connected with launching Unit No. 11 and increasing the monitoring efficiency of other installations. The udertaken operations included:

  • development of the STARLIMS system in the Department of Chemical Laboratories in ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o.,
  • connecting the MIKROS system in Unit No. 11 with the existing MIKROS system of Units Nos. 1-10,
  • modification of the Wisła Programme.

Furthermore, the following measures were introduced: monitoring of the unloading installation for cars with limestone powder and hydrated lime, monitoring of the gypsum loading area, monitoring of storage reservoirs, monitoring of the slag and ash storing site with the possibility of accessing the archive records. The investments made it possible to increase the security level and the level of monitoring efficiency in relation to the quality and quantity of the supplied raw material and pollution emissions.

Also, actions were undertaken to decrease the environmental impact in daily work. Template clearing documents were modified in the Customer Service Centres, which led to the reduction of the amount of paper and generated savings in terms of the paper needed to print out invoices. Also, the project "Printing and mailing cost optimisation" was implemented, which contributed to the minimisation of the printed documents' volume. To achieve this, the entities in the region of Zielona Góra stopped sending payment sheets by mail. Moreover, solutions are implemented across the whole Group that allow sending electronic invoices and responding to complaints in the electronic form.

Total electricity consumption in ENEA Group [MWh]

2018
Total
electricity consumption by ENEA Group companies
3,288,483.85

1) The total energy consumption does not include data for administrative buildings/office buildings used by the companies which make lump-sum payments for energy under a contract with administrators of such buildings and for which there is no detailed data on energy consumption in such buildings. 2) Including ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.: energy consumption for its own needs 39,173 MWh (total energy consumption 1,271,048 MWh – network losses 1,231,875 MWh).

The Group's main priority relating to energy efficiency are measures implemented for the purpose of reducing electricity losses generated in the process of its distribution. ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. fulfils the assumptions of the adopted "Strategy of Distribution Area of the Capital Group – initiative: Implementation of comprehensive actions contributing to the reduction of balance difference" and implements the "Balance difference reduction programme at ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.". As a result of these actions, the level of the company's electricity consumption in 2018 was lower than in 2017. This has also been influenced by the new investment expenditures, as well as an upgrade of networks, connection of new electricity sources and exploitation and operation activities.

Amount of mining waste in 2018 stood at 6,646,153.20 Mg. This increase occurred inter alia due to geological and mining conditions, intensified preparatory work, including reconstruction of the galleries.

In the years 2016-2018, CO2 emission per 1 MWh of generated energy in ENEA Group was reduced by over 7%. Detailed information on the CO2 emission ratio [kg/MWh] is presented in the "Environment" section on Pages 111-112 of "Report of the Management Board on the operations of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2018".

7.1. EMPLOYMENT, INCENTIVE, TRAINING 1)

One of the rules of conduct in ENEA Group is creating a friendly place to work. It means that ENEA Group implements solutions fostering atmosphere that facilitates cooperation in general. The above is reflected by the attention to education, development of the Employees' competencies and raising their professional skills. At the same time, the Group applies the principles of equal treatment and the objective criteria of employee assessment reflected by the terms and conditions of employment, promotion, remuneration and career paths. The key condition of applying the adopted principle and implementation of the adopted assumptions is compliance with labour provisions. Therefore, ENEA Group companies apply the rules set out by:

  • ENEA Group's Code of Ethics a document determining the main principles and regulations regarding ethics and values of ENEA Group. The Rules of the Code define the possible ways of reporting doubts concerning ethics, violations and irregularities,
  • Rules of the Ethics Commission of ENEA Group a document regulating the rules of the Ethics Commission's functioning and the procedure of reporting, accepting and verification of reports on doubts concerning ethics or violations of the Code of Ethics,
  • Compliance Policy of ENEA Group the primary document regulating Compliance issues in ENEA Group, which describes in particular the standards concerning compliance with the law, Employees' proper conduct and key standards of ethics, which take into account the interest of ENEA Group and constitute a significant element of the corporate culture. The Policy also defines the possible ways of reporting the identified violations and irregularities,
  • Implementation of human capital development operations procedure in ENEA Group a document consolidating and determining the forms of conduct relating to improvement of the Employees' qualification,
  • Estimate Budget of Common Social Activity in 2018 in ENEA Group a document regulating the issues of subsidies for the Employees' social benefits in 2018.

Apart from the guidelines introduced at the Group level, due to the highly diverse character and scope of activity of individual companies and in order to regulate the cooperation principles with the Employees, as well as develop clear rule-based relations, these individual companies apply also certain procedures and policies. Within ENEA Group there are inter alia documents setting out the Employee recruitment procedures, rules of bonuses, instructions concerning timesheets, instructions concerning employee assessment, rules of recording and settling business trips, rules of parting with the Employees and rules of the Employees' adaptation. The aim of the documents adopted in the area of labour issues management is to ensure compliance of the internal regulations with the provisions of the Labour Code, provisions of corporate governance and other provisions relating to labour rights and obligations.

7.2. GENERATION GAP MANAGEMENT

As a responsible business partner, ENEA Group has, for years, been pursuing a policy aimed at ensuring the continuity of electricity supply and providing products and services of expected quality. At the same time, the Group is aware of the challenges it faces in terms of both technology and owned resources. Employees are a key element in this area. In order to ensure adequate staff and counteract the generation gap, the Group undertakes the following initiatives:

  • cooperation between the companies belonging to the Group and local vocational and technical schools, including schools preparing for work in power industry (endorsed schools programme),
  • dual vocational education system as part of the cooperation with universities,
  • promotion of ENEA Group as a potential, trustworthy employer at universities and job fairs,
  • organisation of the "Install yourself at ENEA" Work Placement and Traineeship Programme,
  • supporting students in the learning process by organising meetings and educational trips.

In 2018, ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. signed nine patronage agreements with vocational education schools. The scope of the signed agreements provides for the co-financing of teaching laboratories, assistance for organising trips, competitions, scholarships for the most talented students, as well as support for gaining specialist professional qualifications. Learners of these schools participate in obligatory student internships in the company. At the same time, actions are taken in the field of early employment of a new Employee in place of an Employee declaring termination of employment contract in connection with retirement, in order to train him/her on-the-job and obtain the necessary specialist qualifications. Additionally, as part of the "Install yourself at ENEA" project, ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. accepts students for paid work placements and unpaid or paid internships of the duration from 3 to 12 months and takes part in the Dual Education project which enables students to gain professional experience, professional knowledge and practical skills under the supervision of specialists from ENEA Group.

In 2018, ENEA S.A. established cooperation with Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. In the course of the cooperation, it participated in the Development Academy and promoted job offers among students. Moreover, ENEA S.A. organised an educational trip for learners of the technical school in Poznań to the energy training ground in Łagów. ENEA S.A. also carried out activities aimed at shaping the image of a potential employer among students during fair events e.g.:

  • Absolvent Talent Days in Poznań,
  • Career Days in Poznań,
  • Job Fairs in Szczecin,
  • Offerty Job Fairs in Bydgoszcz.

In cooperation with the University of Economics in Poznań, ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. organised the third edition of the "Energy Market Modelling" competition.

7.3. COMMUNICATION AND FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION

As part of a transparent information policy, ENEA Group undertakes actions to ensure that its Employees have equal access to reports on activities taken and events taking place in the Group. Supporting dialogue with Stakeholders, including Employees, is an important element of building positive relations within the organisation. In order to ensure an efficient flow of information within the Group, we apply different forms of communication, out of which the most frequent ones include:

  • Corporate Intranet where news concerning ENEA Group is published,
  • Employee Zone where news, information and documents concerning labour matters of Employees of ENEA Group are published,
  • Newsletter ("ENEA News") where news and announcements concerning ENEA Group are published,
  • Mailing via e-mails sent to Employees, important messages concerning selected groups or all Employees are sent.
  • Idea Box it is an e-mail box to which Employees of ENEA Group send their initiatives, ideas on improvement of procedures and processes as well as performed tasks that may improve work,
  • HR-write-to-us it is an e-mail box to which Employees of ENEA Group send questions concerning labour matters published in the Employee Zone on the Intranet.

During the year covered by the reporting, conducting the Employees' satisfaction survey was one of the forms of communication among the companies of ENEA Group. The survey covered eleven areas defined as key to Employees' satisfaction. The following areas were subject to the same survey:

  • My workplace a survey indicating the level of Employees' satisfaction with the availability and quality of tools, applied OHS rules, IT systems and solutions as well as the surrounding work environment, e.g. staff facilities,
  • A friendly workplace a survey taking into account social factors, such as respect, equal treatment, objective evaluation and a sense of job stability.
  • My team a survey taking into account the closest social environment of members of the team which a given survey participant works in,
  • Communication hat takes into account the aspect of individual communication, e.g. the possibility to express one's own and company-wide opinion related to e.g. communication of changes,
  • Cooperation with the superior a wide range of possibilities to assess managerial skills of the superior as one of the key factors of Employee satisfaction and – in many cases – a link between Employees and the organisation,
  • Feedback that takes into account the factors of organisational culture based on providing information and enabling Employees to improve and develop on the basis of the feedback on the quality of work received from the superior,
  • Development opportunities and trainings availability that indicate the level of satisfaction related to the realisation of professional ambitions both in terms of promotions and the acquisition of new qualifications and competences,
  • Work organisation and cooperation between organisational units – that concern both the aspects of the organisation of work on the site and the impact on the cooperation between different parts of the organisational structure,
  • Assessment of pay conditions and employee benefits a particularly important and sensitive aspect of management, based on financial and related motivation (benefit programmes, company-wide benefits, bonus systems or pay rise schemes),
  • Perception of the company's image and organisational culture that provide the opportunity to evaluate, from Employees' perspective, the expenditures incurred by the company on shaping its image and building its organisational culture,
  • Me in the company an area that shows the subjective sense of Employees' involvement in both the tasks performed in the position and in the company's matters in a wider sense.

The companies of the Group also undertake activities aimed at increasing the involvement of Employees in improving the current method of communication and increasing job satisfaction. ENEA Centrum Sp. z o.o. introduced an initiative called "Employee with Energy Competition", whose aim is to appreciate Employees distinguished by their attitude and commitment, and to support communication. On the other hand, ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. organised a competition for Employees in the area of innovation.

7.3. COMMUNICATION AND FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION

Apart from the solutions adopted at the Group level, individual companies apply various forms of information exchange among their Employees. The most commonly applied forms include regular operational meetings, strategic sessions and videoconferencing, with the participation of the Management Boards of the companies and managers of organisational units. Moreover, managers of organisational units support dialogue by organising meetings with junior managers while discussing current operational matters. Daily communication with blue-collar Employees is also ensured by the presence of superiors in the areas which they are responsible for. In addition to regular meetings, annual or quarterly discussions are held in the companies to summarise the past period and discuss mutual expectations.

ENEA Group respects the right of its Employees to form, join trade unions and be active members of them. The management boards of the companies hold regular meetings with representatives of trade unions.

7.4. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

ENEA Group monitors changes and technical solutions appearing on the market, which affect the level of security. Every year, a designated OHS Employee participates in the Work Safety Expo, during which he reviews the newest technological solutions in the area of OHS. During the fair, the OHS service representative takes part in seminars and lectures organised by institutions working in the OHS and fire safety sector and updates the knowledge, on the basis of which he introduces improved solutions in companies.

The accident procedure in the Group companies is carried out according to a precisely defined mode of action. If an accident occurs, as soon as the information on the event is received, an accident investigation team is appointed in order to explain the circumstances and causes of the event. Following the investigation of the accident, the team prepares a report and determines corrective actions. Accident documentation is kept in an appropriate register in each company.

ENEA Group ensures ergonomic working conditions, introducing improvements in this regard (i.e. changes in the work stations by additionally equipping them with footrests, wrist rest pads and by replacing office chairs with chairs with adjustable armrests). The first aid training programme, carried out for the Employees of ENEA Centrum Sp. z o.o. and ENEA S.A., continued in 2018. The programme also covered elements of first aid for infants and children. The programme on safe driving "Skoda Auto Lab" was also continued, especially for Employees working in the area of sales. At the same time, the Group companies enriched the introductory and general trainings with practical demonstrations with the use of dummies and training defibrillators.

In 2018, ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. performed an analysis of the Employees' health condition, as regards their exposure to harmful levels of noise, and - in the case of Employees performing welding works - also as regards their exposure to exceeded hygiene standards related to the concentration of manganese and/or optical radiation. Based on the results of these training sessions, a programme of optical actions and a programme of organisational and technical measures aimed at reducing exposure to noise, in the form of hearing protectors, were introduced.

At ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. OHS issues play a key role, hence the "Our choice - Safe Work" OHS campaign is being carried out in order to eradicate potential hazards in this area. As part of the action, educational meetings on safe work take place, which last year covered the topic of chainsaw operation and the methods and rules of emergency evacuation from heights.

The main initiatives in the OHS area at ENEA Oświetlenie Sp. z o.o. and ENEA Serwis Sp. z o.o. include regular inspections of OHS equipment and fall protection equipment for working at heights. Moreover, in 2018 ENEA Oświetlenie Sp. z o.o. replaced the fall protection equipment for working at heights and the shock protection equipment.

The programme of work safety improvement, carried out at Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" S.A. since 2017 is particularly noteworthy. since 2017. During the reporting year a test knowledge checking programme was introduced, in the framework of which a knowledge test was performed among 1300 Employees of the company. Moreover, screens localised in the spots where teams gather before descending into the mine show accident reconstruction videos and instructions on how to proceed properly. At the same time new solutions for protection against chemical substances, such as filters, overalls, gloves, were introduced.

8. SOCIAL ISSUES – DESCRIPTION OF DUE DILIGENCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AS WELL AS THEIR RESULTS 8.2. ENERGY SECURITY

"Development Strategy of ENEA Group until 2030" is the Group's basic strategic document. In the framework of its objectives, the Group focuses on initiatives contributing to ensure the country's energy security. Therefore, in the social context it takes steps to ensure uninterrupted supplies of electricity and reliable operation of the distribution network and it carries out plans which contribute to minimise potential threats in this area.

During the reporting year, the Group performed investment tasks in order to improve distribution infrastructure quality, increase the quality standards of the energy supplied, reduce energy losses and automatise network operation. A good example of how the Group pays attention to these standards is the Reliability Improvement Programme at ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o., whose execution directly translates into improvements in energy supplies. The Group monitors the efficiency of conducted works using indices, such as SAIDI and SAIFI (defined on Page 135 of the Statement).

In 2018, the Reliability Improvement Programme carried out tasks such as:

The construction of the Ostrołęka C Power Plant is an important investment area affecting the country's energy security. A contract for the construction of the 1,000 MWe power plant was signed in Ostrołęka on 12 July 2018. A modern, carbon efficient power unit will have a significant impact on Poland's energy security. The investment will encourage the development of Ostrołęka and north-eastern Poland. The new unit will follow a series of other stable, high efficient and low-emission energy sources with a capacity of about 1 GW, forming the strategic basis of the National Power System. The investment is expected to be based on the newest technologies and meet the highest environmental standards. It is estimated that the first synchronisation of the new unit will take place in 2023. The power plant was designed so as to guarantee maximum flexibility in operation, short start-up time, load increasing and decreasing speed and minimum load. For effective integration with the power system, in which the share of RES will increase, the new unit is to reach a maximum load capacity in less than 30 minutes and change load from 35% to 100%. Ostrołęka C Power Plant project is carried out jointly by the Groups: Energa and ENEA which strive to use the knowledge and experience gained by ENEA during the construction of the new unit at Kozienice Power Plant. The supercritical power unit with a gross capacity of 1,000 MWe will be fired with hard coal, using the most modern technologies enabling the unit to operate with high availability and efficiency. The technologies used will also allow full management of combustion side products thanks to the construction of modern and efficient auxiliary installations for servicing all economies that will operate on the site of the power plant. This investment is key to Polish energy security.
