The EBITDA result generated by the ENEA Group in Q1-Q3 2020 was drivenlargely by the following factors (compared to Q1-Q3 2019):
In the Mining Area, the segment's lower result is attributable mainly toa decrease in revenue from sales of coal (lower sales volume at a higherprice) in connection with the unfavorable oversupply of coal in themarket.
In the Generation Area, the segment's result was favorably affected bythe increase in revenue from sales of electricity (higher energy prices)and property rights, despite the negative deviation of the costs of coalwith transport and CO2 emission allowances.
In the Distribution Area, the higher result was driven by higher marginson licensed activities (affected by, among others, a higher rate of thefixed grid charge in the approved 2020 tariff) and a higher result onother operating activities (driven mainly by changes in the provisionsfor grid assets and higher revenue from contractual penalties andindemnities).
In the Trading Area, the segment's result was favorably affected by theincrease in the average sales price of energy and the updated CO2valuation. At the same time, the energy purchase prices increased(mainly due to the increase in the price of CO2 emission allowances) andso did the costs of environmental obligations.
