WE ARE IMPLEMENTING OUR STRATEGIC PLANS BASED ON A STABLE FINANCIAL AND OPERATING SITUATION OF THE GROUP

Dear Sirs and Madams,

Enea is developing in a balanced way, according to the Development Strategy until 2030 published last year. We have built solid foundations and now, by implementing synergies and optimising each link in our value chain, we consistently increase the Group's financial potential for further development and market strength. We are constantly analysing our strategy in the context of the current market situation and the signals coming from the Company's close and farther environment. The key issues for our business are related to the power market, shape of the European energy market in the context of the so-called winter package or detailed solutions for the European carbon dioxide trading system. We act flexibly and we do not exclude that if at some stage we find that new regulations can

significantly influence the implementation of our strategic plans, we will proceed with their possible modifications. At present, however, we do not see such a need, and our operating and financial results confirm our belief that we are moving in the right direction, ensuring the value of our Group for Shareholders.

We are enhancing the attractiveness of the offering and increasing sales

A vice-leader in the electricity generation market is obliged to maintain and increase the efficiency in the energy trading segment. Our strategic goal is further enhancement of operational efficiency on selling activity and proper balancing within the Group, which is to increase the sales of electricity to 2025 to end customers, with own generation oscillating around 24 TWh. We aim to achieve this goal by focusing on providing Customers with tailored and diverse offers. We build relationships with our Customers - both individuals and businesses - based on a wide range of additional benefits, services and options that allow us to increase sales. Last year we sold 16.7 TWh of electricity. This year, if we keep the trend from the first 9 months of 2017, we have a good chance of significantly exceeding this level.

Enea Group's strategic investment – a step towards comissioning

On 1 September the first synchronisation of Unit 11 with the National Power System was performed, and in less than a month, i.e. on 19 December, we plan to commission a new 1,075 MW generating unit at Kozienice Power Plant for operation. The new unit will become an important pillar of our country's energy security and will at the same time be one of the most efficient of the kind in the world. Unit No. 11 is a key investment for Enea Group as well as for the entire Polish power industry. The project is characterised with the use of state-of-the-art technical solutions in the area of boilers, turbines and environmental protection. With a high efficiency of 45.6% of electricity generation and a high availability of over 92%, it will be the largest and most efficient coal-fired power plant in the Polish history.

Our Customers can count on us in crisis situations

Having handled the effects of the August storms that came over the part of Enea Operator's distribution area on the night of 11/12 August, our services faced another demanding test. On 5 October, as a result of Xavier hurricane, over 600 thou. of our Customers were deprived of power supply in almost 4 thou. locations. Failures caused by the hurricane were removed by over 320 brigades of Enea Operator, Enea Serwis and cooperating companies. Nearly 900 specialists fought to restore power supplies to all Recipients as quickly as possible. Power engineers worked continuously day and night, facing heavy weather conditions, which also caused a very difficult access to the damaged infrastructure. With the proper organisational preparation, logistics and titanic work of our Employees, we have restored electricity supplies to all our Customers. Damages in our infrastructure were also caused by Gregory hurricane which came over the Polish territory on the weekend of 28-29 October. This year is special in terms of the frequency and scale of weather events affecting the work of the power grids not only in our area. We have proven that we are able to work professionally in all conditions, primarily through the involvement of our Employees, who must be acknowledged and thanked.

We invest caring for a stable financial situation

We develop the Group's development potential through a balanced growth in all business segments, which is reflected in the financial and operational performance ratios resulting from the operations in the three quarters of 2017.

In the three quarters of 2017, the Group recorded an increase in EBITDA of 6.5% compared to the same period of the previous year (PLN 1,947 mln). The increase in the result was attributable to good equity investments, an increase in the volume of sales of electricity, heat and distribution services. Looking for optimal solutions to ensure financial resources for the implementation of investment plans, we successfully use available programmes guaranteeing the co-financing of investments, e.g. in the distribution area (total co-financing obtained by Enea Operator - PLN 81.5 mln).

Safe cash position allows us to undertake development work, both in terms of innovation and carrying out analyses of the possibilities of building a power unit based on coal gasification technology in the area of the Bogdanka mine. LW Bogdanka's acquisition of the mining license of the Ostrów field ensures that the decision to build the above mentioned unit is supported by the provision of adequate operational resources on the fuel side.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a part of the entire Enea Group and is an important part of its business

Enea Group is an active participant in the life of local communities. We help the needy, promote physical activity, and support numerous scientific and cultural initiatives. August storms caused damages not only to the power grid. Seeing the scale of damage in the communes from our distribution area, we decided to donate PLN 1 mln to the communes affected by the storms through Enea Foundation. This action is part of our concept of corporate socialresponsibility.

With the new school year, a collection of applications for Enea Talent Academy began, which is a program to support the development of young talents. Our activities are directed at children and young people and schools that want to develop the talents and passions of their students. We believe that such a support for the youngest members of our society and for projects and initiatives beyond the standard framework will translate into the development of their passion and will contribute to the responsible education of the next generations. We want to express our sense of responsibility to the environment from which we come and on which we depend.

Yours faithfully,

Mirosław Kowalik, President of the Management Board of Enea SA

Sales of electricity and gas to retail customers realised by Enea SA

In Q1-Q3 2017, as compared to the same period of 2016, there was a significant growth in the total volumes sold by 743 GWh, i.e. by over 5%. The growth in the volumes of sales was observable in the business segment (by 776 GWh, i.e. by ca. 8%). This is the result of greater electricity sale volumes by 975 GWh, i.e. by almost 11% and reduced gas sale volume by 199 GWh, i.e. by 21%. The volume growth in sales of electricity in the business segment translated into greater comprehensive revenue from sales of electricity by PLN 81 mln, i.e. by around 3%, in relation to the same period of 2016. Yet, a drop in revenue from sales of gas by PLN 37 mln stemmed from both the volume and the average selling price. As a consequence,the total revenue from sales of electricity and gas in Q1-Q3 2017 was by PLN 44 mln higher than in the same period of the previous year.

Coal market prices in Q3 2017

In the third quarter of 2017, prices of coal in all coal terminals in the world remained in an upward trend. Higher demand in the Asia-Pacific region (China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea), a significant reduction in the supply on the Atlantic market and the strengthening of the Euro and the currencies of leading exporters against the US dollar, supported coal prices in the world. Spot prices for coal in European ports of ARA, South Africa Richards Bay and Australian Newcastle totalled 81-100 USD/t in that period.

The highest average quarterly rise in coal prices on the level of ca. 7.6% was observed at the ports of Newcastle (+5.1% ARA, + 5.5% RB) due to the high demand for coal imported by Asian customers.

The rise in coal prices in Richards Bay was caused by a wave of mining strikes and the redirection of supplies to the demand-driven Asia-Pacific region. In the third quarter of 2017, the average cost of 1 tonne of coal was USD 87.61 (+15 q/q; + 33% y/y). The increase in coal demand in India due to low inventories at local power plants, strengthened on the other hand US coal prices. Average cost of 1 tonne of the commodity in Q3 2017 amounted to USD 79.97 (+10% q/q; + 33% y/y).

In ARA ports, price increases derived from limited supply from Colombia and the strengthening of the Euro against the US dollar. On average, in the third quarter of 2017, USD 86.11 (+ 14% q/q; +44 y/y) was charged per 1 tonne of coal.

In the period of Q1-Q3 2017, the PSCMI1 index for the power industry reached the average value of PLN 203.20 (+ 4.2% yoy), which in USD was 56.76 USD/t. September 2017 brought about the reversal of price phenomena observed in the period from June to August. This time, the index for the commercial power industry increased and the index for the heating plant decreased.

According to PSMCI1 index, monthly prices of coal rose in September by 2.7% to 206.17 PLN/t. In comparison to the previous year's price, 1 tonne of coal for electricity generation in Poland is currently higher by PLN 9.08 per tonne of coal (+ 4.6%). In Q3 the average PSCMI1 value was 204.97 PLN/t (-0.6% q/q, + 5.6% y/y).

In Q4 2017, it is expected that the increase in coal spot prices on the domestic market will continue due to supply constraints as a result of the suspension or correction of down production levels in Polish mines, a difficult situation on the rail transport market, which results in problems with PKP Cargo delivery, which in turn symmetrically translates negatively into the mining and energy sectors.

Wholesale electricity prices

The average price on SPOT market in Q1-Q3 2017 was lower by 2.0% in comparison to the same period of 2016. The prices dropped especially in the period from April to June. The prices were affected by the following factors:

  • high capacity in PPE system
  • great utilisation of wind generation
  • relatively mild atmospheric conditions
  • greater export

On TGE forward market a very low liquidity is observed - when comparing turnover in Q1-Q3 of 2016 and 2017 between BASE-Y-17 and BASE Y-18 (it amounts to ca. 12%). The main reason for this situation may be extinguishing of the so-called 100% exchange obligation related to Long-term Agreements.

Source: own paper based on data from PPE.

The prices of BASE Y-18 changed similarly to PEAK Y-18 prices. At the beginning of January the market valuation for this product amounted to 214.00 PLN/MWh, and at the end of September 2017 to 213.50 PLN/MWh.

In Q1-Q3 2017, the forward market reported a slow growth in electricity prices. It was related to e.g. a great volatility in prices of allowances for emissions of CO2 (a range between the maximum and minimum - 2.93 EUR/t). What had a great importance for the shaping of the market situation was also a significantly decreased, as compared to the volume of trade in BASE Y-17 in the same period of the previous year, volume of trade in BASE Y-18 on PPE.

Some factors of uncertainty still include:

  • the question of the Great Britain's exit from the European Union, which may cause potential changes in the Community Emission Trading Scheme and fluctuations of prices of allowances for emissions of CO2 (EUA) in a longer term
  • direction of changes in the system and introduction of new solutions (e.g. capacity market) within guaranteeing relevant levels of power in PPS

Hence, potential moderate growths in prices cannot be ruled out.

In Q1-Q3 2017, transactions were also concluded for BASE Y-19, however due to a distant delivery horizon, the trading volumes were significantly lower than for BASE Y-18.

Obligations with respect to obtaining energy certificates of origin

In accordance with the regulations being in force energy companies selling electricity to end users in 2017 are obliged to obtain and redeem the following types of certificates of origin:

  • for energy generated in renewable sources, the so called "green" certificates the obligation on the level of 15.4% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated from agricultural biogas, new certificates under the amendment to the Act on renewable energy sources dated 20 February 2015 - an obligation on the level of 0.60% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated in methane-fired cogeneration, the so called "violet" certificates – the obligation on the level of 1.8% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated in gas cogeneration units or units with the total installed capacity up to 1 MW, the so called "yellow" certificates - the obligation on the level of 7.0%
  • for energy generated in other cogeneration sources, the so called "red" certificates – the obligation on the level of 23.2%
  • energy efficiency certificates, the so-called "white" certificates the obligation on the level of 1.5%

The contracting price structure on the PPE's session market for particular proprietary interests in the period from January to September 2017 is presented on the next page. The analysis excludes PMOZE "green" PIs due to lack of trading volumes and their entire replacement with PMOZE_A.

Limits of CO2 emission allowances and their market prices

The end of 2016 characterised with a significant growth in EUA prices. The reason for these growths could be growing prices of coal and energy, high prices obtained at auctions and information on the intention of the Great Britain to remain in the EU ETS system after Brexit. An important growth factor was also the agreement relating to the changes in EU ETS system after 2020 taking into account e.g. withdrawal of 24% instead of 12% of allowances from the market during at least 4 years of MSR operation, redemption of 800 mln allowances withdrawn from the market as part of backloading and increasing the linear reduction coefficient to 2.4% (from 1.74%). After a sudden growth in prices in the second half of December 2016 there was a correction. Lower prices of emissions of CO2 at the beginning of January 2017 were affected by: a growth in the volume at auctions (blackloading expired, growth of the volume from 3.7 mln to 4.3 mln EUAs) and lower prices of German energy.

The European Commission proposed the continuation of the obligation resulting from greenhouse gas emissions by the air transport until making final decisions as regards the shape of the global market mechanism. On 15 February 2017 during the plenary session in the European Parliament a package of amendments to the draft EU ETS directive was approved which at the end of February were adopted by the Environmental Council. EU member states commenced distribution of free allowances for 2017.

As results from the most recent data on the number of allowances issued for 2017, published by the European Commission, there are the most not issued allowances in Italy, Romania and the Great Britain and Malta as the only state has already issued all. Pursuant to the April publication of the European Commission the value of verified emissions for 2016 dropped by 2.7% in relation to 2015.

The EC also published data on the number of surrendered allowances. Almost all installations located in the EU ETS system met the deadline for surrendering emission allowances for 2016. In addition, the EC published an update of data on the transfer of free allocations from NER (New Entrant Reserve). Since the beginning of Stage III, i.e. 2013, a total of 139.9 mln CO2 emission allowances have been sent to date, of which up to 25.8 mln have been transferred since January 2017. A further update will be published in January 2018. On 17 August, new, more stringent BAT conclusions were published in the Official Journal of EU, which set higher standards for the emission of nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, mercury and suspended particulates than the current standards in large coal power plants (4 years for adaptation).

Principles of preparation of financial statements

Condensed financial statements of Enea SA and Enea Group, respectively, included in the extended consolidated report of Enea SA for the reporting period were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) approved by the European Union. Condensed financial statements were prepared with an assumption of going concern in the foreseeable future. The Company's Management Board states, as at the execution date of the condensed financial statements, no facts or circumstances that could indicate any threats to the possibility of continuing the activity during the period of 12 months after the balance sheet date as a result of a wilful or mandatory negligence or substantial limitation of the so far activities. Financial data presented in the statements, if not stated otherwise, was presented in thousands of PLN.

Anticipated financial position

In the first three quarters of 2017, LW Bogdanka CG generated excellent financial results as compared to the same period of the previous year. There are two main priorities for this area: maintaining the unit cost of extraction at the current level and maintaining the investment processes at the level ensuring the realisation of the anticipated sales plans. The stability of the results of the area of Mining is positively affected by the incorporation of Połaniec Power Plant under Enea CG and the acquisition of a mining license on the new "Ostrów" field, which has increased the recoverable reserve of LW Bogdanka and allows us to think about the development of this area in the perspective of not 25 but 50 years.

The area of Generation, which during the three quarters of 2017 accounted for 31% EBITDA of Enea CG, remains unchangeably under the influence of the demanding energy market situation. The production concentrated on bituminous coal involves the exposure to risk related to carbon dioxide emission costs. Extensive repairs of generating units planned in 2017-2018 are still important for the results generated by the area of Generation, and they will force relatively long periods of electricity generation suspension. Less production of current generation assets will be compensated by Unit 11, which will be put into operation in December 2017, and by an optimum use of the production capacity of two power generation sources, which remain Kozienice Power Plant and Połaniec Power Plant.

The area of Distribution, which accounted for 41% of Enea CG's EBITDA in January-September 2017, remains unchangeably the area stabilising the cash flows. The basic elements affecting the results of this area are still: a drop in the average weighted cost of capital (WACC) - 7.197% in 2015, 5.675% in 2016, 5.633% in 2017 and introduction by ERO as of 2016 of the so-called quality tariff. Q3 2017 proved to be a real challenge for distribution network operators in Poland. Incredibly strong weather events have had a tremendous impact on the SAIDI and SAIFI ratios, which may significantly reduce the level of EBITDA in the Distribution area in 2019. In order to ensure the value of the benchmarks set by the Energy Regulatory Office, Enea CG is consistently investing in the grid improving safety and stability of power supply.

In the area of Trade the operations focus on increasing sales of electricity and gas - due to an attractive product range new Customers are obtained, and the volume of sold energy and gas increases. An increasing competition on the market putting pressure on the realised selling prices has a negative impact on the Trade area's financial results. The better yoy results of the area of Trade (as in the preceding period of 2017) are mostly affected by the effects of the termination of long-term contracts for the purchase of green property interests. Possible risks related to the impact of ongoing disputes with green energy generators on the performance of subsequent periods are mitigated by establishing a provision for latent claims.

Despite difficult market and regulatory conditions, due to the consistent growth in the Group's value, searching for synergies among its business areas, Enea CG generates financial results on the anticipated level and the Group's liquidity position is safe.

The Group's financial standing remains safe, e.g. due to a considerably great volume of cash, which as at the end of September 2017, including current financial assets kept to maturity and financial assets evaluated at fair value through result, amounted to ca. PLN 1.679 bln. Due to cost discipline, constant search for cost optimisation and proper use of resources, the Group beneficially provides the investment financing from its own resources as well as from funding institutions.

With improved performance, secure cash position and availability of financing, Enea Group is consistently implementing a vast CAPEX (capital expenditures) programme, covering primarily the area of Generation and the distribution network.

6. Other information significant for the assessment of the Issuer's situation

Demand for energy

According to the forecast included in "Update of the projection of demand for fuels and energy until 2030" the demand for electricity during the coming years will grow in all the sectors of the economy. According to the above document the net electricity production will grow to 193.3 TWh in 2030. At the same time, pursuant to the document titled "Conclusions from forecast analyses for the needs of the Energy Policy of Poland until 2050" until 2050 the production of electricity will increase by ca. 40% - from 158 TWh in 2010 to 223 TWh in 2050. 1)

Exemption form the obligation to tariff households

Pursuant to Article 49 of the Energy law, the President of ERO may exempt an energy company from the obligation of submitting tariffs for approval, if he states that it operates competitively. A potential exemption from tariffing may positively affect the margin on sales of energy.

Significanttrends in the area of Distribution

New technologies appearing, growing Customer expectations and a dynamically changing economic environment in Poland and in the world anticipate changes in the way ODSs operate, they in particular draw attention to the necessity of implementing solutions which are innovative in the area of distribution, leading to the modernisation and extension of the distribution network allowing for absorption of leading trends in the power engineering sector.

The key trends are related to:

  • development and implementation of smart grids
  • development and implementation of modern IT systems supporting the network management
  • occurring new institutional and technical solutions such as clusters, energy cooperatives, prosumer market, energy warehouses, electromobility

Quality tariff

The new model of the quality regulation came into force on 1 January 2016, yet it will have impact on the finances of Enea Operator (and other ODSs) as late as in 2018. The President of the Energy Regulatory Office made some portion of the regulated income dependant on the quality of services rendered by these entities. Service quality assessment will be performed by measuring numerous ratios, in particular of uninterrupted power supply and time of connecting to the power grid.

Growth in the number of energy sellers

The number of electricity sellers grows regularly. Appearing of a seller conducting an aggressive price policy may result in the pressure on the margin on sales of energy to retail consumers.

Additionally, it must be noted that more and more customers decide to change their energy seller. The number of TPA recipients (Third Party Access) among enterprises (tariff group sets A, B, C) as at the end of September 2017 amounted to 186,118, thus grew from the end of December 2016 by 12,260 (7.1%). And among households (tariff group set G) the TPA principle was used, as at the end of September 2017, by 529,023 customers, which means a growth by 66,393 (14.4%) in relation to the end of December 2016. 2)

Continuation of the cooperation on the construction of the first atomic power plant in Poland

On 3 September 2014, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, Tauron Polska Energia, Enea and KGHM Polska Miedź (Business Partners) concluded a Shareholder Agreement. On 15 April 2015, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, an agreement on sale of shares in PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. was concluded, as a result of which each of the Business Partners acquired 10% of shares in PGE EJ 1. As a consequence of disposal by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna to the Business Partners of shares in PGE EJ 1, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna holds 70% in the share capital of PGE EJ 1, and the other Business Partners (Tauron Polska Energia, Enea and KGHM Polska Miedź) 30%, i.e. 10% each.

As anticipated, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna is the leader of the construction project and exploitation of the first Polish atomic power plant, and PGE EJ 1 is to be a future operator of the power plant.

Pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, the Parties jointly undertake, in the proportion to number of shares held, to finance the operations as part of the preliminary stage of the Project (Development Stage). Enea's financial engagement at the Development stage will not exceed the amount of ca. PLN 107 mln. In Q3 2017 PGE EJ 1 continued works in the programme of preparation to the construction of the atomic power plantin Poland.

The Parties to the Shareholder Agreement foresee that the decision relating to the declaration of further participation of particular Parties in the next stage of the Project will be made after the completion of the Development stage.

Continuation of the construction of the power unit

In 2012 Enea Wytwarzanie and Hitachi Power Europe GmbH (presently Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH) and Polimex-Mostostal SA consortium signed an agreement totalling PLN 5.1 bln net on the construction of 1,075 MWe gross supercritical bituminous coal fired power unit of the efficiency of 45.6% net.

On 23 December 2016 Enea Wytwarzanie sp. z o.o. and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe and Polimeks-Mostostal consortium signed a deadline amending annex amending the date of handing over the unit for operation to 19 December 2017. Shifting the deadline stems from objective reasons, beyond the control of the contractual parties. The value of the contract (PLN 5.1 bln net) remained unchanged.

The investment in the construction of the new power unit is one of the key undertakings in order to increase generating capacities of Enea Group for a long-term satisfaction of the demand for electricity of all the Group's customers. The new power unit in Kozienice Power Plant will be the most modern unit fired with bituminous coal in Poland and Europe. The completion of the investment will allow for increasing generating capacities of the power plant in Kozienice by ca. 30%.

Structure of generating portfolio

Irrespective of launching a unit with 1,075 MW capacity in Kozienice Power Plant, Enea plans its engagement in the construction of new sources or acquisitions of the ones already existing. Some of these activities will be implemented by partnerships with other energy groups. The implementation of the strategy will mean a significant growth in Enea's importance in electricity generation for the needs of the Public Power System. The total installed capacity of conventional sources is to increase to 5.8-6.3 GW in 2025. It will allow the Group to generate 20.7-22.8 TWh electricity from own sources, which will mean electricity generation and sales balance.

Rating

Maintaining on 30 June 2017 by Fitch Ratings agency of a long-term rating of Enea SA in national and foreign currency on the level of "BBB" is of a key importance as to the realisation of the investment intentions of the Group. The agency affirmed and concurrently withdrew, for contractual reasons, the national long-term rating on the level of "A+(pol)" with a stable outlook. Fitch Ratings has performed the Company's creditrating since 2011.

Collective disputes

There are no collective labour disputes in any of the key companies comprising Enea CG. In order to eliminate the risk and occurrence of a potential collective dispute the boards of the companies have a regular dialogue with the society.

Trade unions of Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka protest against introduction of the Corporate Governance of Enea Group. It may not however be a reason for initiating a collective dispute since the catalogue of the Act on solution of collective disputes precisely enlists cases which may be causes for a dispute.

Court and administrative proceedings

As at the date of publication of this report, no proceedings are underway regarding liabilities or claims, the party to which would be Enea SA or its subsidiary, whose single or total value would amount to 10% or more of Enea SA's equity.

A detailed description of proceedings is presented in note 23 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Enea Capital Group for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2017.

Long-term development of energy market

On 16 February 2016 the Government of Poland adopted "Plan for Responsible Development of Poland" 1) . The document specifies the key directions of the state functioning and new impulses which will ensure its stable developmentin the future.

The plan foresees that the development of the Polish economy will be based on five pillars: reindustrialisation, innovations, capital, foreign expansion and social and regional development.

Pursuant to the provisions of the document relating to the energy market, in order to increase energy efficiency and unlock the investment after 2020 (including avoidance of blackout and becoming independent from energy imports) the state intends to e.g. support the development of energy infrastructure (energy bridges, power storing technologies), liberalise market areas and introduce capacity market mechanism which would be an impulse for investments in the segment of conventional power engineering.

The process was commenced of implementing a dual-commodity market on which, apart from electricity, also capacity will be traded. The Ministry of Energy, in the document titled "Functional solutions of the capacity market" published on 30 September 2016 justifies the necessity of introducing a new market. At the beginning of December 2016 the Ministry of Energy presented a draft act on the capacity market. As mentioned in the justification, the introduction of the mechanism is to prevent shortages of generation capacity, create economic incentives for construction, maintenance and modernisation of generating units and managing the energy consumption at customers.

New projections for energy price paths

Long-term financial projections of Enea Group based on the forecast electricity price paths, expectations as regards the changes of market prices of certificates of origin for energy, allowances for emissions of CO2 and coal prices demonstrate a more and more demanding situation of the area of Generation. Due to the maintaining of energy prices on low levels, resulting in the imbalance between generated revenue and costs of energy generation, the Group foresees the necessity of a quick entry into force of the announced support mechanisms for system power engineering (e.g. through the implementation of the capacity market mentioned above). Difficulties in generating good financial results by generating sources will exclude a possibility of incurring expenditures on development investments which during the coming years seem inevitable.

Variability and liquidity on the wholesale market

Since the very beginning of 2016 we faced a decreased liquidity in electricity trade on the Electricity Futures Market managed by the Polish Power Exchange. The situation did not improve in 2017 - the volume of electricity trading on the forward market of PPE in three quarters was by 36% lower than in the previous year. A drop in RDN market (spot) was smaller and amounted to 9%, however such the turn of events forces to look in the future with some anxiety related to the possibilities of hedging the trading positions. A positive fact here is a growing trade on the natural gas futures market, which allows for the diversification in the trading operations.

Limits of Proprietary Interests

In the area of PMOZE_A (certificates of origin for energy generated in renewable energy sources) characterises with a permanent surplus of rights on the market, translating into low prices. The Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 11 August 2017 defining the level of duty for the years 2018-2019 (17.5% and 18.5%, respectively) has improved the prospects of long-term reduction of the surplus of 25 TWh, which translated into a fairly strong price increase to the level of 61 PLN/MWh, and subsequently a decrease to about 40 PLN/MWh.

In the area of PMOZE_BIO (certificates of origin for energy from agricultural biogas) the situation changed diametrically in relation to the obligatory surrender duty for 2016 and at present the prices of these allowances (over 312 PLN/MWh) are above the compensatory payment, taking into account the excise deduction premium (20 PLN/MWh) to fulfil the obligation by the redemption of certificates of origin.

For PMEF (energy efficiency), after the decision of 20 July 2017 in the fifth tender for the selection of projects aimed at improving energy efficiency, it is expected that there will be an oversupply of PMEF on the market - which is reflected in the large discount of stock market quotations (about 500 PLN/toe in relation to compensatory payment 1,500 PLN/toe).

The proprietary interest system presently in force for cogeneration is valid until the end of 2018.

Gas portfolio

Pursuant to the provisions of the Energy Law, the gas market is subject to a successive liberalisation. As of 1 October 2017 the prices for the other business consumers were deregulated. The obligation to submit tariffs to the Present of ERO for approval will apply only to the segment of households.

Pursuant to the amendment to the Petroleum Act, as well as to the rules of conduct in situations of threat to the State's fuel safety and distortions in the oil market, energy companies engaged in natural gas trading activities abroad have been obliged to maintain compulsory gas reserves in a quantity corresponding to at least 30 days average daily import of the gas.

Termination/withdrawal from proprietary interests purchase agreements by Enea SA

On 28 October 2016 Enea submitted notices on termination or withdrawal from long-term contracts for the purchase of proprietary interests resulting from certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources (the so-called green certificates). The agreements were terminated.

The reason for termination/withdraw from individual contracts by the Company was exhaustion of possibilities of restoring the contractual balance and equivalence of performance by the parties as a result of law amendments. The financial result stemming from the termination of the Agreements will be avoidance by the Company of a loss being the difference between contractual prices and the market price of green certificates.

Currently, before the Regional Court in Poznań two cases are pending for determination of inefficacy of Enea SA's termination of agreements on sale of proprietary interests. Additionally, proceedings is pending against Enea SA for payment as remuneration for proprietary interests which resulted from the deduction from payments for damages suffered by Enea SA as the result of nonperformance by contractors of the contractual obligation to commence, in good faith, renegotiations of long-term contracts for sale of proprietary interests according to the adaptation clause binding upon the parties.

The estimated total value of Enea's contractual liabilities amounted to ca. PLN 1,187 mln net.

Situation in the national bituminous coal mining sector

The price path for electricity will be strongly dependant upon the costs of obtaining the production fuel. The necessity of restructuring the mining sector in mid-term will undoubtedly translate into the change in prices of supplied energetic materials. The direction of changes is not unambiguous, however as an essential element of the costs of generating domestic electricity it brings additionalrisks related to the process of futures contractation.

Incorporation of ElectroMobility Poland SA

PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, Energa, Enea and Tauron Polska Energia incorporated ElectroMobility Poland on 19 October 2016. The operations of the new company are to contribute to the creation of the electromobility system in Poland.

The new company's share capital is PLN 10 mln. Each of the companies incorporating ElectroMobility Poland holds 25% in the share capital with 25% of votes at a general meeting.

Regulatory environment

Enea SA's operations are conducted in the environment subject to detailed legal regulations, both in Poland and in the European Union. Legal regulations relating to the energy sector are often derivatives of political decisions, therefore there is a risk of frequent changes within this area which the Company is not able to foresee, and which may, as a consequence, result in a lack of unity and uniformity of regulations, based on which Enea SA conducts its operations. Regardless of the above, the Group's operations are governed by the current shape of the national legal system defining the framework for conducting a business activity in Poland, including in particular the tax system, competition and consumer protection, labour law and environmental protection. It can not be ruled out that changes in the above areas in terms of specific legal acts as well as individual interpretations related to significant areas of the Group's activity may become a source of potential liabilities of the Group companies.

Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council No. 2015/2193 of 25 November 2015 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from medium combustion plants

The key scope of the MCP Directive regulation is specification of: the emission norms for three types of air pollutants - sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitric oxides (NOx) and dusts for medium combustion plants, and also dates until which it is necessary to satisfy the duty of observing relevant volumes of air pollution in the existing and new medium combustion plants. As per Article 17(1) sentence 1 of the MCP Directive, member states are obliged to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the Directive by 19 December 2017.

The provisions of the MCP Directive are significant as regards the companies in which Enea Wytwarzanie sp. z o.o. holds shares and in which the so-called medium combustion plants directly defined in the MCP directive are located. These companies include: Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej sp. z o.o. in Oborniki (PEC Oborniki), Miejska Energetyka Cieplna Piła sp. z o.o. in Piła (MEC Piła) and Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej sp. z o.o. in Białymstok (MPEC Białystok). 1)

REMIT

Since 7 October 2015 there has been a duty to report basic transactions and data (for standard contracts for electricity and gas supplies) to the European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (Agency or ACER). Pursuant to the REMIT regulation, i.e. the regulation of the European Parliament and the Council (EU) No. 1227/2011 dated 25 October 2011 on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (REMIT), until the above mentioned date the participants of the wholesale energy and natural gas market mentioned in Article 9 item 1 of REMIT are obliged to register with the nationalregulatory authority.

With the Act of 11 September 2015 on amendment of the Energy Law and some other acts (J. L. of 2015, item 1618), which entered into force on 30 October 2015, the principles were introduced guaranteeing REMIT application, including the penal provisions (Chapter 7A) for breaching the duties resulting from REMIT.

On 7 April 2016, as per Article 12(2) sentence 3 and 4 of the Commission's (EU) implementing regulation No. 1348/2014 of 17 December 2014 on data reporting implementing Article 8(2) and Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency, an obligation entered into force of reporting to ACER the other transactions in wholesale trade (standard and non-standard contracts for supply of electricity or natural gas concluded on OTC market, transmission contracts) and data on the operation of systems published by operators of transmission systems, LNG operators and operators of warehousing systems.

Amendment to RES Act

On 14 August 2017 the President of the Republic of Poland signed the amendment to the act of 20 February 2015 o RES. As indicated in the justification to the draft act its objective is the introduction of a solution facilitating a balanced development in the area of renewable energy sources via changing the amount of the unit fee being the element allowing fro making the market of green certificates more flexible, and - on a long-term basis - decreasing the oversupply of certificates in this market. The above objective is to be achieved in particular via "market facilitation" of the level of the so-called compensatory payment.

Pursuant to the amendment the fixed value of the compensatory payment was resigned from and in turn its height was related to the market prices of proprietary interests resulting from a certificate of origin. Additionally, a fee was changed (the method of its calculation)for an entry in the register of certificates of origin.

Act of 20 July 2017 - Water Resources Law

On 2 August 2017 the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Water Resources Law. The act replaces the existing act of 2001 which regulates water resources management, including shaping and protection of water resources, use of water and water resources management, issues of titles to water reservoirs and lands covered with water, and also principles of managing these elements as relates to the State Treasury property. The act amendment is connected with the implementation of requirements of the Directive of the European Parliament establishing the framework of the Community operations as regards the water management policy. The act liquidates exemptions from fees for the commercial use of water for energy purposes, and also introduces additional fees on this account commencing from 2018.

Draft act on capacity market

In July 2017 a draft act on the capacity market was submitted to the Polish Sejm. The main objective of the regulations is guaranteeing the reliability and stability of electricity supply for the industry and households. The intention is to establish incentives for the investment and modernisation activities in the power industry. The market will relate to the so-called net available capacity, which may be offered by generators and controlled energy reception. According to the draft act the goal of the capacity market is guaranteeing energy supply security in the long-term and short-term perspective - the so-called generation capacity adequacy. Auctions which will be organised by the power transmission system operators are to be the key element of the capacity market. Pursuant to the draft the expenses of the capacity market are to be borne by electricity end users in the form of an additional fee.

Draft act on electromobility and alternative fuels

Other information

In April 2017 the Ministry of Energy published a draft act on electromobility and alternative fuels. Pursuant to the proposed provisions Operators of the distribution systems (ODS) are to assume a great role in the charging infrastructure needed for the electromobility development. According to the draft act, the ODS will be required to prepare a programme for the construction of public charging points and related projects necessary to connect these points to the grid in municipalities located in the area of its activity covered by the Act. In the case the competitions foreseen in the act for operators of the infrastructure are undecided ODS will be obliged to build and manage the open-access charging point. The ODS, as an infrastructure operator, will at the same time be obliged to provide all suppliers with access to a charging service on an equal footing. The draft act foresees at the same time numerous discounts and incentives for the owners of the charging infrastructure.

Allowances for emissions of CO2

A material element within costs, conditioning the profitability of electricity generation is the allocation of free allowances for emissions of CO2 and other gases and substances in a given settlement period. Obtaining a free allocation of CO2 emission is conditional on the implementation of dedicated investments in Enea Group notified in the National Investment Plan (NIP). The value of actual outlays is the base for obtaining allowances. In 2017 works are performed relating to the possibilities of using unallocated allowances due to lower than planned costs of implemented investments. The Ministry of Environment is conducting talks with EC regarding extension of the list of investmenttasks, closed in 2012, with new projects from the area of RES, low-emission investments, investments relating to the energy efficiency, investments in transmission or heating networks. Additionally, activities will be carried out with the objective to determine the principles of the 4th stage of EU ETS functioning starting from 2021. The major changes which may diametrically affectthe market situation, include e.g.:

  • increasing the linear ratio to 2.2%
  • lack of free allowances for the sectors which are not exposed to the carbon leakage risk
  • doubling, during the first 4 years of MSR functioning, the number of allowances taken from the auction pool to the reserve to the level of 24% of the allowance surplus
  • permanentremoval of 800 mln MSR allowances from the market

According to the schedule, Poland has been realising the assumptions of selling 85.88 mln allowances for CO2 emissions in 2017. 14.99 mln come from allowances not sold in 2016, and 70.89 mln constitutes the volume originally scheduled for sale in 2017. The point of sale of Polish EUAs is the EEX stock exchange auction platform with which Poland has re-concluded the contract for sale of emission allowances. Auctions are held every second Wednesday and 4.857 mln EUAs are sold on each of them, exceptthe first and the last ones conducted in August. In the period from January to September 2017 Poland sold 61.59 mln allowances for emissions of CO2.

The works connected with the 4th stage of EU ETS system are currently in progress in the European Community institutions. The requirements presented in the period of three quarters of 2017 are subject to consultation by the European Commission, European Council ad European Parliament (the so-called trilogue). The market expects that during the presidency of Estonia in the EU Council the final version of the agreement will be determined, which will be foundations for the legal framework of the EU ETS system during 2021-2030.

Reduction of emission of pollutants

Pursuant to the EU regulations, in particular the Directive of the European Parliament and the Council No. 2010/75/EU dated 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions - IED (integrated pollution prevention and control), new, stricter standards of environmental protection have been in force since 1 January 2016. In relation to the above, all producers of electricity in Poland who use mainly high-emission coal technologies, are obliged to adjust the units to new environment requirements. The law, meeting the problems of entrepreneurs, provides for a possibility of using derogatory mechanisms. Mitigation of the requirements of the IED directive in the form of derogations, allows to achieve additionaltime for adaptation of generating units to stricter standards of pollutant emissions into the air.

On 17 August 2017, the so-called BAT conclusions (BATc) for large combustion plants (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 of 31 July 2017 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council for large combustion plants according to the directive of the European Parliament and the Council 2010/75/EU). The published BATc introduce e.g. more stringent (than in the IED Directive) requirements for such pollutants as: sulphur dioxide, nitric oxides and dust. The admissible emission levels (BAT - AELs) covered also additional substances: mercury, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia. Pursuantto the requirements laid down in BATc, starting from 17 August 2017, a 4-year adjustment period commenced.

Enea Połaniec Power Plant

Enea Połaniec SA benefits from the derogation resulting from IED Directive - natural derogation 17,500 hours which covers boiler No. 1. Until the end of September 2017 3,653 hours were used from the limit of 17,500 hours, including in 2017 alone 1,464 hours were used (617 hours in Q3 2017). In Q1-Q3 2017 emission standards specified in the integrated permit were not exceeded.

2017 Tariff - distribution of electricity:

Detailed rules of tariff calculation are governed by the Energy Law and relevant regulations relating to tariffs. Pursuantto the Energy Law, tariffs for a incensed energy company are approved by the President of ERO.

The tariff for Enea Operator for 2017 was approved by the President of ERO on 15 December 2016. It was prepared in accordance with the strategy developed and published by the President of ERO in the document titled "ODS Tariffs for 2017". The rates of fees for the distribution services approved for 2017 resulted in changes in average payments for Customers in particular tariff groups in relation to 2016:

  • A tariff group set growth by 0.96%
  • B tariff group set growth by 5.73%
  • C tariff group set growth by 4.91%
  • G tariff group set growth by 5.61%

Operating Capacity Reserve (OCR)

  • OCR mechanism is conducted by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne Operator of the Transmission System (OTS) within the system services catalogue.
  • For producers of energy it is an economic incentive to offer generating capacities to OTSs in the peak hours of demand for power.
  • OCR includes the available generating capacity, being the surplus of the power available to OTSs over the contracts concluded to satisfy demand for electricity
  • A unit price for OCR depends on the volume of generating capacity available to OTSs over the demand for electricity covered:
  • within energy sale agreements
  • on the Balancing Market as part of the free exchange
  • A unit price for OCR depends on the volume of generating capacity available to OTSs over the demand and may not be higher than the reference price which for 2015 amounts to PLN 37.28 PLN/MWh, for 2016 41.20 PLN/MWh and for 2017 the level is PLN 41.79 PLN/MWh.

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

2016 2017

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 OTS 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 from 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 (POR).

Enea Group's Corporate social responsibility in Q3 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the following actions:

Corporate volunteering and charity campaigns

At the beginning of Q3 2017 Enea Group published the sixth "Corporate Social Responsibility Report of Enea Group for 2016" covering the period from 1 January to 31 December 2016. As in previous years, reporting of non-financial data was prepared compliant with the guidelines of the international standard - Global Reporting Initiative G4, on the level of Core application. This is the fifth report of Enea disclosing non-financial data on-line, only the first one was issued traditionally. The document is available on a dedicated, interactive website published in Polish and English.

The report presents the most important issues from Enea Group's responsible business and sustainable development perspective, i.e. the so-called significant aspects of reporting sustainable development. They describe the scale and nature of the Group's impact on the social environment and implemented and planned investments for the environmental protection. Employees from all the reporting companies: both CSR coordinators in the Group companies and Employees responsible for crucial areas take part in works over the development of data for the CSR report. The reporting process is coordinated by a dedicated organisational unit responsible for CSR in Enea SA.

Release your energy and give yourself to others – this is a slogan which in 2017 motivates Enea Group's Volunteers. Due to the engagement of Enea Foundation each activity related to the Corporate volunteering may obtain PLN 2,000 co-financing.

  • Volunteers from the Group supported educational activities during the Picnic entitled "Little Pole" ("Polak Mały") on the occasion of the Children's Day, which is organised annually by the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. Volunteer Rescuers conducted e.g. first aid training.
  • Enea's crew took part in the second edition of the Charity Sailing Regatta PHN-GDYNIA RACING 2017. The event was held on the waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk. Regattas have traditionally been linked to charity campaigns. All the crews taking part donated to the Children's Hospice "Bursztynowa Komnata" in Gdynia run by the St. Lawrence Hospice Association. Together, PLN 168 thou. was collected for the care of the hospice patients.
  • Revitalisation of the garden at the Centre for Family Support in Poznań (Former Children's Home No. 1 at Swoboda street). There were 40 participants from various companies and institutions (among others volunteers from Enea Foundation and volunteers from Bank BZ WBK).
  • 50 Employees (10 teams) from Enea Group ran in the annual Poznań Business Run charity relay race. This year's sixth edition of this sport-charity event allowed for collection of PLN 1.5 mln from the entry fees alone in the whole Poland. As each year these funds will be used to support people with disabilities - charges of the Poland Business Run Foundation.
  • Private lessons for the charges of the "Panda" socialisation centre in Kozienice - 10 volunteers of Enea Wytwarzanie from the beginning of September have given private lessons and language classes to a group of 25 school children.
  • Competency volunteering Continuing the development of competence volunteering through the implementation of programs: "Power-not so scary" and "First aid - pre-medicalrescue".

Enea Group's Corporate social responsibility in Q3 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the following actions:

Grant programme

Action for the needy

Enea Talent Academy commenced on 1 September 2017 The programme is directed to primary school pupils (for grade V and higher) who have documented achievements and develop their talents in science, art or sport. Public primary and lower secondary schools may also apply, which intend to implement projects that support the development of their students' interests. The program is directed to pupils and institutions from these areas of Poland, where Enea Group is particularly active in business terms. It is primarily the north-western region, and also the areas of Kozienice, Połaniec, Białystok and Łęczna in the Lublin region.

Scholarships worth of PLN 3,000 will be available to students, and grants will be awarded to winners in the amount of PLN 10,000.

Applications to the Academy of Talents were accepted until 15 October, and the winners will be announced on 10 January 2018.

The first edition of the Power of Helping is after us. So far, two of the three winning projects have been completed:

  • in July, there was a festival for patients of the Children's Oncology Clinic from Karol Jonsher Clinical Hospital in Poznań. The project was implemented by the Foundation for the Assistance to Children with Cancerous Diseases in Poznań together with volunteers from Enea.
  • in September the association maliniewidzialni.leszno.pl from Leszno together with Volunteers from the Enea Group made a picnic - "Pirate Adventures" dedicated to the members of the association and their families.

The project"My group is touring the country" will be completed in November this year.

Once again, the Group's employees participated in a cyclical volunteer action - A Backpack full of Smiles. They collected over 12 cartons full of backpacks, notebooks, crayons, paints, coloured papers, sharpeners and other items without which a real student bag cannotfunction.

Employees brought gifts personally and sent them by mail. Cartons and parcels were coming from Szczecin, Bydgoszcz and from the location at Strzeszyńska in Poznań. Gifts were given to children from needy families from Wielkopolska and the charges of the "Panda" socialisation centre in Kozienice. Caritas of the Archdiocese of Poznań became the partner of the action.

LW Bogdanka's corporate social responsibility in Q3 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the below actions:

The corporate volunteering of LW Bogdanka was realised i Q3 2017 through the following campaigns:

  • "Positively stoked" collection of caps for children and young people of Lublin Hospice under the name of Small Prince
  • "Gold Rush" collection of low-denomination coins of 1, 2, 5 grosz, which were given at the end of June to the Lublin PCK [Polish Red Cross] branch reaching a record-breaking 500 kg in the region
  • of collected blood and registration in the database of marrow donors, organised in the Company

and of bottom-up charity employee campaigns for groups of people in a difficult life situation, e.g. victims of accidents and sick people.

Mine close to the nature

As the founder and co-organiser (with OTOP – Polish Society for the Protection of Birds) of Nadrybie Educational Path, LW Bogdanka continues to expand its infrastructure, and also intensifies the educational activities carried out on its area. In Q3 2017, on the area of the path the stocktaking of flora and fauna was performed, ecological workshops were prepared, and in addition,the works updating the Guide were carried outfollowing on the ecological path "Nadrybie".

Education in C-Zone - multimedia exhibition presenting the history of Bogdanka and Lublin Coal Basin

LW Bogdanka willingly shares its history, tradition and achievements with children and young people, via organisation of meetings with Employees, who in specially designed multimedia rooms, familiarise them with the mining issues.

In July 2017 LW Bogdanka published another corporate responsibility report. Integrated report for 2016 joins both financial results and non-financial data. The report was developed based on GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) G4 guidelines using the International Integrated Reporting Framework.
