WE DEVELOP SUSTAINABLY AND REGULARLY ACHIEVE SET OBJECTIVES

Dear Sirs and Madams,

we are a stable and strong energy and commodity group which develops in a sustainable way. Our conscientious approach to the role played in the growth of the Polish economy, as a supplier of products and services of first need, and the awareness of the impact of our operations on the environment make our Group a modern and responsible company. A test for us was fighting the effects of catastrophic wind storms which in the night from 11 to 12 August went over a part of Enea Operator's distribution area, depriving a total of ca. 250 thou. our Recipients of power and damaging ca. 400 km of the power grid. Over 1,000 of our Employees, 220 brigades, were engaged in the damage removal and reconstruction of totally destroyed lines. Due to a skilful action, hard work and commitment

a of our Employees we restored the power supply to our Recipients and passed this demanding test.

After the implementation in the recent months of investments building our Group's value and stabilisation of generated financial results, we are currently focusing on the maximum use of the effects of synergy occurring within the assets we hold. After the acquisition of Połaniec Power Plant we became the vice-leader as regards the generation of electricity in Poland.

LW Bogdanka belonging to the Group is one of the best Polish mines of hard coal. Currently, we are intensively working over the optimisation of our Kozienice-Bogdanka-Połaniec mining and generation area in order to strengthen the market position. We are one of the guarantors of the Polish energy security and at the same time a listed company which sees operations in business terms.

Management in business requires far-sightedness

Mining is a sector which requires planning many years in advance. The stability of market and operation within one Group is very importantfor us, guarantees security and bases for planning investments in new deposits.

According to the declarations of the government, the Polish hard coal and brown coal are to constitute 60% of the energy mix of Poland until 2030, with the perspective to 2050. This is very good information for the producers of the commodity. As seen by LW Bogdanka it means that the demand for coal dusts will remain on a stable level. Similar assumptions were adopted in the strategy for the the area of mining in Enea Group published in February 2017, which is a confirmation for us that we are heading the correct direction.

In July LW Bogdanka submitted a motion to the Minister of Environment for granting licence for coal mining from "Ostrów" deposit. It is a significant step towards the realisation of the Company's strategic goal, which is doubling its operating resources. Obtaining the access to the deposit will increase the mine's base of commodities by ca. 186 mln tonnes. Additionally, it is planned to extend the resources of "Bogdanka" field by ca. 33 mln tonnes. Overall, LW Bogdanka will thus increase the level of resources from ca. 227 mln tonnes currently to ca. 446 mln tonnes. It means that with coal extraction on the level of ca. 9 mln tonnes annually, the mine's lifetime will be extended to ca. 50 years (currently it is ca. 25 years), i.e. until c.a. 2067.

"Ostrów" deposit utilisation may be commenced based on the current infrastructure and without a capital-intensive construction of new shafts. In the perspective after 2025 in "Ludwin" field a vertical access is planned and construction of necessary objects and technical infrastructure. The total pre-estimated expenditures in real values connected with the construction of such the infrastructure amount to PLN 1.2-1.3 bln.

We are consistently increasing the value of our generation assets and we care for the environment

Environmental protection is one of the basic elements of the working ethics in Enea Group. It also a question of constantly rising national and EU's requirements. During recent years we have implemented a number of investments limiting the pollutants emissions. These are e.g. flue gas desulphurisation plants (IOS) and installation of the catalytic denitrogenation of flue gases (SCR). Electrostatic precipitators have been also replaced and rain and industrial water treatment plant has been modernised. We are also implementing projects of modernising turbines as a result of which the unit consumption of heat reduces, the capacity of turbine sets increases with a concurrent reduction of coal consumption, and thus of gas emissions, including mainly carbon dioxide.

The BAT conclusions voted upon in April 2017 were not surprising for us. In our analyses we have foreseen the expenditures for adjustment of our generation assets to the said requirements. We have wisely approached the selection of technologies applied in our power units so that their adjustment to the environmental requirements is the least expensive. As regards Kozienice Power Plant it is connected with the expenditures on the level of ca. PLN 150 mln, and as regards Połaniec Power Plant of ca. PLN 350 mln. We are well prepared - our generating units will satisfy the standards within the deadline required in the conclusions.

The construction of our key investment - the supercritical 1,075 MW Kozienice Power Plant, equipped with the most modern ecological solutions with the possibility of extension in the future with a CCS installation for capturing CO2 (CCS ready status) is in the final stage of implementation. On 1 September Enea Wytwarzanie successfully conducted the first synchronisation of the unit with the Public Power System was conducted. The synchronisation was performed in accordance with the schedule - it was the second, after the successful pressure test of the boiler, major test of our generating unit.

We take care for the development of the power grid in the north-western Poland

Enea Operator was established 10 years ago, pursuant to the European Union directive on the separation of electricity sellers from distributors. Today, the Company manages over 121.3 thou. km of power lines with connections on the area of over 58 thou. km2 supplying electricity to 2.5 mln Customers.

For 10 years Enea Operator has invested over PLN 7 bln in the grid infrastructure, modernising and constructing new transformer/switching stations, high, medium and low-voltage lines, and also transformer stations or management systems for grid assets and traffic in the distribution network. In that period the duration of interruptions in electricity supplies shortened by 50%.

During the last decade Enea Operator modernised or constructed from scratch several dozen transformer/switching stations, i.e. large stations transforming high to medium voltage. Thus, Enea Operator has directly contributed to the development of the north-western Poland through increasing the capacity of connecting new Customers and development of special economic zones.

In March 2017 the Company started the newest and most modern in Poland Power Dispatch Centre which manages Enea Operator's high-voltage grid in north-western Poland. Such an organisation of traffic enables a flexible, quick and comprehensive response to the events occurring in the 110 kV grid belonging to the Company. The investment contributed to guaranteeing the continuity of electricity supplies to Customers.

And in June, Enea Operator signed an agreement for delivery and implementation of the Central Application for the Measurement Information Acquisition System. The application will ultimately be the sole IT system at Enea Operator, which will acquire, process and store all data related to widely understood measurement information. At present, Enea Operator processes about 4 mln pieces of measurement data monthly, ultimately thanks to the purchased system it will be able to process up to 7 bln pieces of information within one month.

Implementing the planned investments the Company has actively used the Community funds. In H1 2017 it concluded agreements for co-financing in the total amount of anticipated subsidy totalling PLN 60.3 mln, which constitutes over 60% of the value of investments covered with the co-financing applications.

We are focusing on a better knowledge of Customer needs

Enea has been constantly improving the Customer service, introducing new tools of communication. In March 2016 the company launched the electronic Customer Service Centre on the whole area of its operations. In July 2017 it enabled Customer contacts via the on-line chat. During the chat one may quickly, staying at home, ask a question to a consultant, check the status of an invoice and payment history, submit meter readings or contact Enea on other issues related to the Customer service.

Positive changes, both in the service and operation of IT systems enabled improvement of Customer service and facilitated reporting. Thanks to that the efficiency of work of our consultants improved significantly. We have also gained a possibility of a better acquaintance with Customer needs and matching a relevant offer to their preferences.

Innovations integrated into the Group's culture

Innovations and new technologies are and will be the key elements in the development of our Group. The power sector, including our Group, already today is the major recipient of innovative solutions which are implemented e.g. in distribution networks or by electricity generation. Over 50% of the initiatives in Enea Group's development strategy are innovative in nature. Due to their implementation we become a flexible and modern group, developing durable competitive advantages.

The entity established in order to build market position and coordinate the Group's innovation area is Enea Innovation. The Company is a centre of identification and implementation of modern products, services and business lines in all the links of the value chain. Its incorporation will enable durable integration of the philosophy of innovative operations into the Group's culture. Enea Innovation will participate in the innovation ecosystem via establishing cooperation with governmental organisations and best universities, research and development centres, technology brokers, accelerators, incubators, associations, foundations and think tanks. The Company is also open to collaboration with starups.

Innovativeness is not only one of the key development conditions for us. We wish to introduce innovativeness into the DNA of our Group. We focus on searching for new solutions and ideas. We search for them on the market and inside the organisation. We wish to utilise them to realise the vision of an innovative company which anticipates and satisfies Customer expectations and is able to face challenges the future brings.

We see huge potential in the realisation with the scientific centres and local governments of research and development project and infrastructure projects in the area of electrical buses and the infrastructure of their charging. Therefore, in April 2017, Enea became a member of the cluster entitled "Polish Electric Bus - electromobility supply chain". The cluster was established on the initiative of Solaris and universities, scientific centres and enterprises commenced collaboration. The goal of the cluster is cooperation for electromobility development, in particular e-buses and components used for their construction, which will be based on technical solutions elaborated in Poland.

In June Enea Innovation and Enea Operator became partners of the Energy Cluster in Zielona Góra. It is a joint initiative of the city of Zielona Góra, University of Zielona Góra and local companies operating mainly within the Lubuski Technological and Industrial Park.

Another example of applying an innovative approach in Enea Group is starting a cooperation with Polska Grupa Górnicza within the exchange of experience and know-how in order to prepare a new fuel mixture using coal sludge which would be possible to use for the commercial exploitation in the energy sector. The innovative product will allow for limiting the sales of the so-called sludge range to individual Customers, which will help improve the quality of the air.

We share profits with Shareholders

Enea puts financial security on the first place in its operations. It realises investments enhancing its value planned in the strategy, strictly controlling the costs. It wishes to be a dividend distributing company, however the level of payment must be adjusted to the size of the generated profit, the Company's financial possibilities and planned development. In Enea's assessment it is important to ensure a long-term building of the equity portfolio, so that in the future it is possible to implementthe scheduled investments.

On 26 June the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Enea decided to pay the dividend for Shareholders in the amount of PLN 0.25 per share. The amount was in line with the recommendation of the Board and was positively assessed by the Company's Supervisory Board.

Sustainable development builds a strong energy and commodity group

We are a stable and strong commodity and energy group. We engage into numerous projects within the corporate social responsibility since we believe that such companies as Enea should create a business responsibility climate in Poland.

In June we became a partner of Large Family Card programme. Enea's new offer, ENERGY+ Family, will be addressed to people entitled to use the Large Family Card. Thanks to that families with at least three children will be able to use a discountfor electricity.

We engage also into initiatives supporting the development of young Poles, the example of which may be e.g. letters of intent signed with schools with mining profile classes: the Complex of Mining Schools in Łęczna and the Complex of Schools in Ostrów Lubleski. The documents signed relate to the possibilities of employment in the future by the Lublin mine of outstanding students of the above mentioned schools and also to a scholarship fund the task of which will be motivating students to work hard and learn the mining profession effectively.

On the other hand, the first edition of the paid internships and trainings called "Install yourself in Enea" was completed at the end of June in Enea. As many as 70% of trainees received a proposal of working in the Group. The goal of the programme is obtaining and educating future staff of Enea Group. In July, the second edition of the programme commenced. The training will be started by several dozen students. They will face a year of a valuable experience in the profession, and the teachers will be able to check the potential of prospective Employees and gain the manager's experience.

It is Employees of Enea Group and their knowledge that determine its strength and position. We want the people working for us to develop with the benefitto themselves and the whole Group.

Yours faithfully,

Mirosław Kowalik

President of the Management Board of Enea SA

Enea the owner of Połaniec Power Plant - transaction with ENGIE successfully completed

On 14 March, the transaction of purchasing 100 per cent of shares in ENGIE Energia Polska, the owner of Połaniec Power Plant, by Enea Group from ENGIE International Holdings B.V. was successfully closed. Enea obtained, for ca. PLN 1.26 bln, a major system power plant, which during the recent years has undergone a ca. 1.5 bln worth of an intensive modernisation programme. The acquired company is fully debt-free and has strengthened Enea on the marketfrom the very first days.

When financing the transaction Enea used mainly own funds, including also the funds obtained as part of the first public issue and the issue available within the programme guaranteed by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego.

On 10 April ENGIE Energia Polska changed its name to Enea Elektrownia Połaniec. As of 1 July the Company's Management Board was operating in the following composition: President of the Board – Lech Żak, Vice-President of the Board for Technical Issues – Marek Ryński and Vice-President of the Board for Financial Affairs – Jacek Kutz.

During the next weeks Enea Elektrownia Połaniec will formally join Enea Group. The procedures and rules in force in Enea will be implemented in Połaniec Power Plant.

Połaniec Power Plant comprises eight units of the total capacity of 1.9 GW. It is one of the younger system power plants in Poland and the biggest object of this type in south-east Poland. The power plant belonged to a French concern, ENGIE, and Enea submitted a purchase offer in September 2016.

The acquisition of Połaniec Power Plant is in line with Enea Group's priorities as they result from the development strategy. Enea gains a range of benefits with just one transaction. The Group is abruptly increasing the electricity generation capacities from 3.3 GW to 5.2 GW, of which over 200 MW is one of the largest "green units" in the world utilising biomass. Incorporating Połaniec under the Group, Enea increases energy generation from ca. 14 TWh to ca. 24 TWh and becomes a strong vice-leader on the Polish market of energy generation. At the same time, electricity generation and sales will be balanced in the Group. The transaction also guarantees sales of large volumes of coal mined in Enea Group - Połaniec Power Plant utilises ca. 3.9 Mt of the commodity, of which over 50% comes from LW Bogdanka. Thus, the Group develops a cost- and operation-efficient Kozienice-Bogdanka-Połaniec mining and generation area based on its own raw material.

Acquisition of shares in Polimex – Mostostal SA

On 6 December 2016 targeted talks commenced between Enea SA and the following companies: Energa SA, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna SA, PGNiG SA (Investors) and between Investors and Polimex-Mostostal SA (Polimex). The objective of these talks was drafting the structure of a potential equity interest of Investors in Polimex (Investment) and development of a potential model of cooperation between Investors on the Investment implementation.

On 27 December 2016 Enea SA, the Investors and Polimex signed a letter of intent in which the Investors expressed their intention to consider a potential investment in Polimex and based on which they commenced talks with Polimex with the purpose of specifying detailed parameters of the transaction. At the same time, on the same day, the Company and the Investors, lodged a motion with the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) for issuing the approval by the President of UOKiK to perform the concentration being the takeover by the Investors of a joint control over Polimex. The consent was issued on 18 January 2017.

At at the same time, also on 18 January 2017, the Company, the Investors and Polimex concluded an investment agreement pursuant to which the Investors undertook to make an investment in Polimex.

The investment consisted in the subscription by the Investors for a total of 150 mln shares issued by Polimex. The Company undertook to take up 37.5 mln new issue shares for the total issue price of PLN 75 mln. The agreement was concluded under conditions precedent, described in detail in the current report No. 2/2017. Along with the aforementioned agreement other agreements were concluded which made the terms of cooperation more precise together with the mutual rights and obligations of the Investors on the implementation of the above-mentioned investment, which were concluded with creditors and then existing shareholders of Polimex.

On 20 January 2017 in relation to the satisfaction of conditions precedent reserved in the investment agreement mentioned above, the Company accepted the offer made by the Management Board of Polimex to subscribe, within the private subscription, for 37.5 mln shares, at the issue price of PLN 2 per share, i.e. for the total issue price of PLN 75 mln. Additionally, as the result of the performance of one of the above mentioned additional agreements on 20 January 2017 the Company purchased 1.5 mln shares in Polimex from its previous shareholder. The purchase price for all the shares was PLN 80.6 mln. Enea SA took up a share of 16.48%.

In relation to the tender offer each of the Investors (including Enea) intended to acquire not more than, approximately 0.018% of the total number of votes at a general meeting of Polimex. The tender offer was settled on 28 April 2017 and as a consequence each of the Investors acquired 24 shares in Polimex.

Legal frames of energy market functioning

Regulatory environment

The legal basis for energy market functioning in Poland is the act of 10 April 1997 Energy Law and related secondary legislation (regulations).

At the same time, along with Poland accessing the European Union, the Polish legal regulations relating to the energy market were reconciled with the European laws, including in particular EU Directives regarding the principles of the common electricity market.

The central public administration body nominated pursuant to the Energy Law to realise the duties relating to the fuel and energy management and promote the competition is the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. The objective of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office is regulation of the operations of generators, distributors and companies trading in energy compliant with the Energy Law and Polish energy policy strategies with a concurrent pursuing of balancing the interests of particular participants of the energy market.

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.

Amendments within regulatory surrounding

Act of 20 February 2015 on renewable energy sources

In H1 2015, the President of the Republic of Poland signed an act on renewable energy sources. The goal of the act is increasing the energy security and environment protection, e.g. as a result of an efficient use of renewable energy sources. The act provides for, e.g. achievement of at least 15% share of energy from renewable sources in the final gross consumption of energy in 2020. Enea SA will be the so called obliged vendor, i.e. an entity obliged to purchase electricity generated in RES installations connected to the network of Enea Operator sp. z o.o.

On 29 December 2015 the Sejm adopted, after consideration of the Senate's amendments, the content of the act amending the act on renewable energy sources and the Energy Law (J. L. of 2015 No. 2365),

The goal of the amendment which came into force on 31 December 2015 is adjournment by 6 months of entry into force of the provisions of chapter 4 of the Act of 20 February on renewable energy sources (J. L. of 2015, item 478; further on as: RES act), and in particular the issues relating to the lunching of the auction system for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources installations and mechanism supporting the generation of electricity in microinstallations of the total installed electrical capacity not greater than 10 kW. Changes were proposed to be made to the provisions of the RES act, enabling the application of the existing provisions until 30 June 2016, and new regulations - from 1 July 2016.

The act amendmentfinally settles two issues:

  • certificates of origin do not apply to energy generated from 1 January 2016 in installations with the capacity greater than 5 MW using hydropower to generate this energy
  • certificates of origin adjusted with 0.5 coefficient apply to electricity generated from 1 January 2016 in multi-fuel firing installations excluding electricity generated in the dedicated multi-fuel firing installation

On 1 July 2016 the act of 22 June 2016 entered into force amending the act on renewable energy sources and some other acts (J. L of 2016, item 925). The goal of the act is removal of interpretative doubts of legal and editorial regulations which entered into force in the act of 20 February 2015 on renewable energy sources (J. L. of 2015 item 478 and 2365), in particular Article 41 of the RES act.

Additionally, auctions will be performed in each group for the below mentioned buckets:

  1. with the level of utilisation of installed electrical power, total, notwithstanding the origin source, greater than 3,504 MWh/MW/year

    1. using for electricity generation some biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste of plant or animal origin, including waste from waste processing installations and waste from water and sewage treatment, in particular sewage sludge, pursuant to the regulations on waste within the qualification of fractions of energy recovered from thermal recycling of waste

On 16 July 2016, the act of 20 May 2016 on investments in wind power plants entered into force (J. L. of 2016 item 961). Among the key regulations implemented based on the above mentioned act the following must be distinguished:

    1. Locating of a wind power plant is exclusively based on the local zoning plan mentioned in Article 4 of the act of 27 March 2003 on spatial planning and development(J. L. of 2016 item 778 and 904)
    1. Establishment of the location requirement (Article 4 item 1 and 2 of the above mentioned act) being the prohibition to construct a wind power plant in the distance smaller than 10x its height measured from the ground level to the object's highest point, including technical elements, in particular rotor with blades (the total height of the wind power plant) from the following elements of the surroundings:
  • residential building or any building with a residential function, which includes residential function,
  • forms of nature conservation mentioned in Article 6 item 1(1-3) and 5 in the act of 16 April 2004 on environmental protection (J. L. of 2015, item 1651, 1688 and 1936),
  • forest promotional complexes mentioned in Art. 13b item 1 of the act of 28 September 1991 on forests (J. L. of 2015 item 2100),

however, the establishment of these forms of nature conservation and forest promotional complexes does not require observation of the distance mentioned above.

  1. Amending the qualification of all the elements of a wind power plant as a building taxed with a fixed tax on buildings

The above regulations forced the Company to make a decision on performing in 2016 write-downs of the book value of assets from the area dealing with energy generation from renewable sources (area of Generation, segment of Renewable Energy Sources - area of Wind) in the amount of PLN 98.2 mln.

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 on 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 capacity market is to establish an incentive effect to make investment and modernisation decisions in the power industry. The draft act on capacity market relates to the implementation of the capacity market. 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

In H1 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 of the aforementioned act an Operator of the Distribution System will be obliged to prepare the programme relating to the open-access charging points on the areas specified in 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 new act will impose the obligation on ODSs to prepare, in municipalities located on the area of its operations, a programme of developing open-access charging points and related undertakings necessary to connect such points to the grid. The draft act foresees at the same time numerous discounts and incentives for the owners of the charging infrastructure.

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 item 2 and Article 8 item 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.

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

On 28 November 2015 the 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 (MCP Directive) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

MCP Directive applies to combustion plants with the nominal heating capacity not lower than 1 MW and lower than 50 MW (the so-called "medium combustion plants"), notwithstanding the type of fuel they use (Article 2 item 1). Additionally, MCP directive applies to the connections of new medium energy combustion plants, specified in Article 4, including connections for which the total nominal heating power amounts to not less than 50 MW, unless the connection is the object of energy combustion plant included in the application scope of chapter III of directive 2010/75/EU. Article 4 of MCP directive provides that the connection of at least two new medium combustion plants is deemed one medium combustion plant, and their nominal heating power is summed in order to calculate the total nominal heating power of the plant, if vent gases of such medium combustion plants are removed via a common chimney, or in the assessment of the relevant authority, taking into account technical and economic factors, vent gases of such medium combustion plants could be removed via a common chimney.

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 item 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 Białystok (MPEC Białystok).

Allowances for emissions of CO2

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 H1 2017 Poland sold 34.88 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 H1 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 28 April 2017 a voting took place in Brussels regarding the BAT conclusions (BATc) for large combustion plants (LCP). BATc adopted by the European Commission during the voting 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. The anticipated date of BATc publication in the Official Journal is Q3 2017. As of the date of BAT announcement LCP installations will have 4 years for adjustmentto its requirements.

Enea Elektrownia Połaniec SA benefits from the derogation resulting from IED Directive - natural derogation 17,500 hours which covers boiler 1. Until the end of June 2017 3,036 hours were used from the limit, including in H1 2017 alone 847 hours (183 hours in Q2 2017). In H1 2017 emission standards specified in the integrated permit were not exceeded.

Significant trends 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 ODS operates, 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

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:

Parameters of the OCR settlement model for 2016-2017:

Parameter 2016 2017
Hourly budget [PLN] 128 758.72 144 070.61

Number of demand peak hours 3 780 3 765
OCR annual budget [PLN mln] 486.7 542.4

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).

Intersystemic exchange

In H1 2017 a negative balance of intersystemic exchange was generated as a result of a surplus of energy imported from abroad over the energy exported in the amount of (-) 513 GWh. For comparison, in H1 2016 the balance of intersystemic exchange of electricity amounted to (-) 1,927 GWh. January and February 2017 were the only months in which the balance of electrify exchange with aboard was positive. During the other months of H1 2017 the balance of electricity exchange with abroad was negative.

Coal market prices

Q1 2017 characterised with a drop of prices which derived from the decision of Chinese authorities of Q4 2016 based on which the capacities of the Chinese mines were reduced. The drop in prices was however stopped by Debbie hurricane which at the end of March went through the eastern Australia, damaging the railway infrastructure which transported coal from mines to Australian ports. The results of this situation were felt in the whole global market, however the dynamics of these changes in particular coal terminals was different.

The greatest was obviously reported by the prices in Australian ports. Their preliminary growth by 3% at the turn of the quarters resulting from problems with the coal supply and a drop in the next month by 12% is restring the market balance. A growth in June to the level exceeding 80 USD/t is the result of intensive coal supplies to Chinese customers, in relation to the planned ban on import of coal by some Chinese ports since 1 July 2017.

Coal prices on the European market on the turn of Q1 and Q2 grew by 2% and stayed low since mid-May. Next, they started growing regularly to 78.64 USD/t at the end of June. The tendency was affected by the weather conditions, improving situation of European economies, and also standard quality coal shortages.

Almost in the whole period of H1 2017 coal prices dropped in Richards Bay port. Their lowest value reported in May 2017 amounted to 73.53 USD/t and in relation to the beginning of May 2017 it was lower by 16%. The cause of such a state of affairs was disturbance in the stable reception by major customers resulting from restrictions in the railway infrastructure and energy transmission. A 9% growth in prices reported in this region in June was also the consequence of bad weather and miners' strike.

In H1 2017 PSCMI1 index was in a growing trend reaching the value of 55.59 USD/t in June. It means a 15% growth in relation to the beginning of that year. It is at the same time the highest value since December 2015. The tendency was affected by a visibly greater volume of energy generated from bituminous coal. It stemmed from weather conditions and also higher GDP and industrial production. A decreasing rate of the US dollar in relation to the domestic currency and coal shortages on the domestic market took an additional part in the trend.

Wholesale electricity prices

The average price on SPOT market in H1 2017 was lower by 7.2% 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 PPE forward market a very low liquidity is observed - when comparing turnover in H1s of 2016 and 2017 between BASE-Y-17 and BASE Y-18 (it amounts to ca. 20%). The main reason for this situation may be extinguishing of the so-called 100% exchange obligation related to Long-term Agreements.

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 June 2017 to 208.50 PLN/MWh.

In H1 2017, the forward market reported 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 - 1.79 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 are still:

  • 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.

  • for energy generated in renewable sources, the so called "green" certificates the obligation on the level of 15.0% of sales to end users realised in H1 2016 and 14.35% in H2
  • 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 0.65% of sales to end users realised in H2
  • for energy generated in methane-fired cogeneration, the so called "violet" certificates the obligation on the level of 1.5% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated in gaseous cogeneration units or units with the total installed capacity up to 1 MW, the so called "yellow" certificates - the obligation on the level of 6.0%
  • 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%

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 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 Great Britain and Malta as the only state has already issued all. According to the April publication of the European Commission, assessing the value of verified emissions for 2016, there was a drop by 2.7% as compared to 2015. On 2 May 2017 the European Commission published the data on the number of redeemed allowances. Almost all installations in the EU ETS system kept the dates of emission allowances redemption for 2016.

The area of Generation presents financial data of Enea Wytwarzanie sp. z o.o. with its subsidiaries and Enea Elektrownia Połaniec.

Enea Wytwarzanie holds e.g. 10 highly-efficient and modernised power units in Kozienice Power Plant.

As a consequence of the acquisition EEP strengthened the area of Generation with additional 7 coal-fired units with the total gross capacity of 1,657 MW and the largest in the world unit firing exclusively biomass with the installed gross capacity of 225 MW.

The annual production capacities in that area amount to ca. 27 TWh electricity, and as a result Enea CG became a vice-leader in electricity generation in Poland.

Structure of non-current liabilities

Growth in non-current liabilities (PLN 384 mln) stems mainly from the disbursement of another tranche of a loan in EIB for the financing of a multiannual investment plan in order to modernise and extend the power grids of Enea Operator, issue of new bonds within the "Programme Agreement up to the amount of PLN 700 mln" and redemption of bonds by LW Bogdanka. Additionally, the growth stems also from increasing employee benefit liabilities (actuarial valuation) and higher balance of provisions for other liabilities.

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 H1 2017 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 H1 2017 LW Bogdanka CG generated very good financial results as compared to the sector - there was a growth in the volumes of coal by over 6.5%. Continually, the fundamental priority for the area is maintaining the unit cost of mining on the level which is already excellent, caring at the same time for the rationality of capital expenditures. The stability of the results of the area of Mining are positively affected by the inclusion of Połaniec Power Plant into the structure of Enea CG and application of good practices as regards the cooperation of the area of Generation and Mining within use of coal from LW Bogdanka.

The area of Generation which in H1 2017 accounted for 31% EBITDA of Enea CG, is unalterably under the influence of the demanding situation on the energy market. 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. A decreased production of the existing generation assets will be compensated with Unit 11 which will be commissioned in December 2017 and through an optimum use of generation capacity of two sets of generation sources which are still Kozienice Power Plant and Połaniec Power Plant incorporated under Enea CG at the end of Q1 2017. A stepwise growth in the volume of generated energy connected with the acquisition of Połaniec Power Plant contributes to the growth in the share of the area of Generation in Enea CG's EBITDA.

A significant share of the regulated area of Distribution in Enea CG's EBITDA (in H1 2017 Distribution accounted for 38% of the Group's EBITDA) affects the predictability of cash flows and stabilises them over time. Unalterably, in 2017 the basic elements affecting the results of this area are still two elements: a drop in the average weighted cost of capital adopted by the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) for tariff calculation (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. The introduced mechanism of clearing accounts with distributors of electricity based on SAIDI and SAIFI indices realised in a given year, may significantly affect reduction of EBITDA in the area of Distribution. Reaching the indicators set by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office depends to a large extent on weather conditions during a given year, which constitutes some risk for the stability of generated revenue in future years.

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. Improved yoy results of the area of Trade are considerably affected by termination of long-term contracts for the purchase of green proprietary interests, a potential risk related to the impact of disputes pending with the generators of green energy on the results of subsequent periods is mitigated with the establishment of 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 segments, Enea CG generates financial results on the anticipated level and the liquidity situation of the Group raises no threats, The Management Board continuously undertakes activities aiming at the consistent development of the Group in all the links of the value chain.

Unalterably, the Group's financial standing is safe, supported with a stable volume of cash, which as at the end of June 2017, including current financial assets kept to maturity and financial assets evaluated at fair value through result, amounted to ca. PLN 1.586 billion. The amount included cash and cash equivalents on the Companies' accounts, including cash on accounts of Połaniec Power Plant as at the acquisition date, and also bank deposits. Due to the consistently maintained cost discipline and optimum allocation of held resources the Group is guaranteed a favourable and stable financing of the investments.

Due to splendid results, good cash position and availability of financing Enea Group consistently implements a vast CAPEX programme (capital expenditures) covering mainly the area of Generation and the distribution network, not resigning from equity investments constituting market opportunities (as the acquisition of LW Bogdanka or the acquisition of Połaniec Power Plant finalised in March 2017).

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.

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 June 2017 amounted to 183,862, thus grew from the end of December 2016 by 10,004 (5.8%). And among households (tariff group set G) the TPA principle was used, as at the end of June 2017, by 511,035 customers, which means a growth by 48,405 (10.5%) 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 H1 2017 PGE EJ 1 continued works in the programme of preparation to the construction of the atomic power plant in 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 to 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.

On 11 January 2017 EuroRating agency affirmed Enea's credit rating on the level of BBB. What was changed was the outlook of the rating - it changed from stable to negative.

EuroRating agency awards ratings to companies listed on WIG20 on its own initiative, in reply to the information needs of market participants, and the credit risk assessment process is based on the publicly available information.

Due to Enea SA's leaving WIG20 index EuroRating stopped, as of 17 March 2017, assessing the Company's credit risk, withdrawing at the same time the rating it awarded to the company.

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 is 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.

The detailed description of the proceedings is to be found in note 23 of the consolidated financial statements of Enea CG for H1 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 exceptionally 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 - electricity trading volumes on PPE were lower in June than in the previous year by 30.7% on the spot market with the volume totalling ca. 7 TWh. A drop in RDN market (spot) was insignificant, 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 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 investment tasks, 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 affect the 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

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. A factor that may remedy the situation is enabling the existing installations to shift to the auction system, however the announced auction volumes for the existing installations are small and have no significant effect on the improvement of the situation in the sector.

In the area of PMOZE_BIO (certificates of origin for energy generated from agricultural biogas) a strong shortage is observable of allowances whose prices may be much higher than the compensatory payment in relation to the shortage of allowances on the market and enabling installations to convert to the auction system under favourable conditions. Due to the constructions of legal provisions these Proprietary Interests may be evaluated at even 130% of the value of unit compensatory payments.

For PMEF (energy efficiency) until the end of 2016 there was a shortage of PMEF on the market - on the last day of quotations the transaction prices were higher than the level of the unit compensatory payment.

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 will be deregulated. The obligation to submit tariffs to the Present of ERO for approval will apply only to the segment of households.

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.

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 non-performance 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.

Legislative changes

  • Signing on 14 August 2017 by the President of the Republic of Poland of an amendment to the act on renewable energy sources (RES Act). The amendment foresees changing the method of calculating the compensatory payment in such a way that the unit compensatory fee will amount to 125% of the annual weighted average price of proprietary interests resulting from certificates of origin.
  • Signing on 2 August 2017 by the President of the Republic of Poland of the water resources law (Water Resources Law). The Water Resources Law introduces additional charges for using water and waste disposal in the form of fixed costs, payable quarterly, to Przedsiębiorstwo Państwowe Wody Polskie. The Water Resources Law foresees upper maximum rates of charges that may be reduced by way of a regulation.

Currently, it is not possible to assess the effects of the legislative amendments on the financial result and valuation of the assets of the Group e.g. due to the unfinished legislative process and possible arrangements with the European Commission. In the close future the Group will perform analyses relating to the impact of the said changes on the financial statements.

Enea Group's Corporate social responsibility in H1 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the following actions:
