Dear Sirs and Madams,

In Q1 2017 Enea Group consistently implemented the goals set in the Development Strategy until 2030, strengthening its market position and at the same time becoming a part of the Polish economic policy and enhancing its energy security.

One of the major elements of the Group's development is increasing sales of electricity to end Customers to the level of 20.1 TWh in 2025. Pursuant to the Strategy, the growth will be achieved by increasing own conventional generation capacity, engagement in the construction of new sources or acquisition of the already existing ones. A milestone on the way to implement that objective was a successful transaction of

development purchasing Połaniec Power Plant from ENGIE, which already as Enea Połaniec became a part of our Group.

We are strengthening the market position - we obtained valuable assets at favourable financial conditions

We have fully utilised the opportunity which occurred on the market. At an optimum price, we obtained one of the most efficient system power plants in Poland which during the recent years has undergone a ca. PLN 1.5 bln worth of an intensive modernisation programme. We gained a range of benefits with just one transaction. We have abruptly increased 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. Incorporation of Połaniec under the Group resulted in the fact that the annual electricity generation grew from ca. 14 TWh to ca. 24 TWh, due to which Enea became a strong vice-leader on the Polish market of electricity generation. At the same time, electricity generation and sales remained balanced in the Group. The transaction also guaranteed sales of large volumes of coal mined in Enea Group - Połaniec Power Plant utilises ca. 3.9 mln tonnes 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.

When financing the ca. PLN 1.26 bln worth of a 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.

LW Bogdanka intends to remain the leader of efficiency and innovative solutions in the mining sector

One of Enea Group's priorities for the coming years is building a proper synergy of generation and mining assets based on LW Bogdanka operating in the Group's mining area and modern generation capacity of the concern. The Group also wishes to continue to set trends as regards innovation, both in the energy sector and through LW Bogdanka - in the sector of bituminous coal mining.

In Q1 2017 LW Bogdanka presented the development strategy for the Area of Mining in Enea Group until 2025, with the outlook to 2030. The announced strategy is in line with Enea Group's Strategy and complies with the Sustainable Development Plan and the project of the Programme for bituminous coal mining in Poland.

The fact that the two largest customers of Bogdanka became a part of a group of companies allows for the implementation of a scenario, described in the Strategy of the mining company, relating to the flexible growth with the average production in 2017-2025 on the level of 9.2 mln tonnes annually.

Apart from the close cooperation and synergy accomplishment within Kozienice-Bogdanka-Połaniec area of mining and generation, also doubling the base of operating resources and implementation of a range of innovative strategic projects are deemed crucial initiatives by LW Bogdanka as regards its Strategy. The major of them include: conducting, together with Enea Group, the feasibility study of the project of the technology of coal gasification for electricity generation (IGCC), utilisation of the modern highly efficient face machine complex, continuation of the programme entitled "The Mine of Smart Solutions", efficient gangue management and development of LW Bogdanka's operating services, offered based on high technical and managerial standards of the Company. Unalterably, the Strategy's priority element remains maintaining the highest level of occupational safety and conducting operations according to corporate social responsibility (CRS) principles which are important for the whole Enea Group.

We are consistently building the ecosystem of innovations

The Group's priority is innovativeness in all the links of the value chain. A confirmation of such an approach is Enea's engagement in the development of electromobility. In April 2017 the Company became a member of the cluster entitled "Polish Electric Bus - electromobility supply chain". The cluster was established on the initiative of Solaris in November 2016 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 developed in Poland. The draft electromobility act, which is planned to enter into force in January 2018, foresees that as of 2028 30% of the urban bus fleet will be composed of electrical vehicles. As seen from the electroenergetic sector the anticipated development of e-mobility will affect the growth in demand for electricity and future operation of the power system.

Appearing new technologies, growing expectations of Customers and volatile economic environment in Poland and the world, affect the changes in the method of operation of Operators of the Distribution Systems. Enea Operator dealing with the area of distribution in the Group successfully implements innovative solutions, focusing on the modernisation and extension of the distribution network in accordance with the leading trends in the energy sector which include e.g. development of smart grids and modern IT systems, supporting the grid management, or new institutional and technical solutions such as clusters, energy co-operatives, prosumer market, energy warehouses, or mentioned earlier electromobility.

A sample investment in line with the trends is a modern Power Dispatch Centre launched in March 2017 which allows for managing the high-voltage grid owned by Enea Operator in the north-western Poland from one place. PDC will enable flexible, fast and comprehensive response to events occurring on 110 kV grid. The investment contributes to guaranteeing the continuity of electricity supplies to Customers.

Equity investments – diversification of the commodity base

One of the elements of Enea Capital Group's Development Strategy is guaranteeing the commodity base of the conventional power engineering. Hence the decision on the Company's equity interest in Polska Grupa Górnicza. The investment will provide Enea Group with appropriate diversification of coal supply to power plants belonging to the Group.

Greater care for our Customers

The Customer is always in the centre of our attention, therefore we focus on the possibly best matching of our offer with their needs. We think in advance so that the Customer is provided with what they need on time - such is the role of an innovative energy group.

We are undertaking actions each day to strengthen the relations with the existing Customers and encourage prospective Customers to benefit from our offer. One of the activities which serves this purpose is development of a loyalty programme entitled "Purchase Zone". Customers joining it have a possibility of ordering products of reputable brands at attractive prices.

However, in April a new campaign was launched entitled "You win in Eena" whose purpose is encouraging our Customers to a regular contact and check latest offers and proposals. Next, from the beginning of May, a new Customer Service Standard has come into force in our Customer Service Centres. It is a fresh look at Customer care principles in our locations. We have also strengthened the examination of Customer needs at the initial stage of a dialogue with them.

We are enhancing the efficiency and value for Shareholders

We are building an optimum model of the Group's operation which strengthens its market power. We are conducting an ambitious investment programme taking at the same time care for the Group's financial security and stability. We are generating financial results on an anticipated level, taking care for the efficiency which translates into the possibility of distributing dividend to our Shareholders. Therefore, on 30 March 2017 Enea's Management Board decided to recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders to distribute the dividend from profit for 2016 in the amount of PLN 0.25 per share. The Management Board's motion was approved by the Supervisory Board.

The Group's responsible development

Enea Group has conducted numerous projects for years and supported various initiatives within corporate social responsibility. Recently, the Company has joined the Responsible Business Forum Partnership Programme. It is a long-term and comprehensive programme of cooperation with companies - leaders of the responsible business which through their engagement and activities contribute to the promotion of the idea of responsible business in Poland and creating a good climate among various groups of stakeholders. Strategic partners are companies which hold experience in social responsibility and sustainable development.

As one of the elements of corporate social responsibility, particularly in our sector, we understand the importance of supporting vocational education. An example of such activity of the Group within this scope in Q1 2017 is an agreement signed in March by Enea Operator on cooperation with Centrum Kształcenia Zawodowego i Ustawicznego (Professional Development Centre) in Złotów. The cooperation is to contribute to enhance the attractiveness of school graduates on the labour market and to facilitate Enea Operator in searching for specialised technical Employees.

Unalterably, Enea's priority is development of the human potential. Skills, knowledge and experience of ca. 15.7 thou. Employees employed by the Group in many regions of Poland, is our strength and most valuable capital. It is also a commitment - as a responsible employer through corporate development, caring for its financial condition we are building a stable working environment for our Employees.

Yours faithfully,

Mirosław Kowalik

President of the Management Board of Enea SA

Enea Group enhances the Polish energy security and reliability of energy supplies to its Customers - engagement in key investment projects.

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

On 14 March, the transaction of purchasing 100% 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. PLN 1.5 bln worth of an intensive modernisation programme. The acquired company is fully debt-free and has strengthened Enea on the market from 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. During the next weeks Enea 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.

Trade

Sales of electricity and gas to retail consumers are performed mainly by Enea SA. In Q1 2017, as compared to the same period of 2016, there was a growth in the total volumes sold by 120 GWh, i.e. by over 2%. Greater volumes of sales related to electricity and it was observable in the business segment (by 308 GWh, i.e. by ca. 10%). On the other hand, in the case of gas a drop in sales was reported (by 111 GWh, i.e. by over 26%) which mainly stemmed from the change in the customer portfolio. The total volume growth in sales of electricity in the business segment translated into greater revenue from sales of electricity by PLN 32 mln, i.e. by over 4%, in relation to the same period of 2016. Yet, a drop in revenue from sales of gas stemmed from both the volume and the average selling price. In consequence, the total revenue from sales in Q1 2017 was kept on the same level as in the same period of the previous year.

Macroeconomic situation

Enea Group's operations are focused basically on the territory of Poland. The same core macroeconomic factor affecting both achieved results and financial situation is the development pace and the general condition of the Polish economy.

According to the preliminary/estimated data of the Development Strategy Department of the Ministry of Development (MD) in Q1 2017 the pace of economic growth amounted to 3.6%, i.e. 1.1 p.p. more than in Q4 2016. The quarterly pace of economic growth was therefore the highest in the recent four quarters.

In Q1 2017 the total consumption grew by 4.5% and gross expenditures on fixed assets grew by 4.4%. The sold production of the industry increased in Q1 2017 by 7.3% and the construction and assembly production grew by 3.9%. In the reporting period the inflation was 2% yoy.

Pursuant to the forecasts of MD the rate of growth of the gross domestic product in 2017 will amount to 3.6%, which means it will be definitely higher than in the preceding year (the estimated pace of growth in GDP in 2016 amounted to 2.7%).

In 2017 the total consumption will grow by 3.9% in relation to a slightly lower level (3.6%) in the whole 2016. On the other hand, the gross expenditures on fixed assets will grow by 7.2% as compared to the gross expenditures on fixed assets incurred in 2016 on the level of (-) 7.9%.

According to MD's forecasts in 2017 the inflation will amount to 1.8% as compared to the deflation on the level of (-) 0.6% in 2016.

The summary of the key macroeconomic ratios characteristic for the Polish economy in 2015-2017 is presented below.

Description unit 2015 2016 2017
GDP change % 3.9 2.7 3.6

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 amendment finally 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 Art. 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
    1. in which CO2 emission is lower than 100 kg/MWh, with the rate of utilisation of installed electrical power not greater than 3,504 MWh/MW/year
    1. by members of energy cluster
    1. by members of energy cooperative
    1. utilising exclusively agricultural gas for electricity generation
    1. other than that mentioned in item 1 -6

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 Art. 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 (art. 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 Art. 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.

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 item 2 sentence 3 and 4 of the Commission (EU) implementing regulation No. 1348/2014 of 17 December 2014 on data reporting implementing Article 8 ietm 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

In 2017 Poland plans to sell 85.88 mln allowances for emissions of CO2 . 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 will be 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 will be sold on each of them, exceptthe first and the last ones conducted in August. The first auction was conducted in 29 March 2017 at 4.71 EUR/t.

The works connected with the 4th stage of EU ETS system are currently in progress in the European Community institutions. The requirements presented in Q1 2017 will be subject to consultation by the European Commission, European Council ad European Parliament (the so-called trilogue). Probably until the end of Q3 2017 the final version will be agreed upon which will form the legal framework of EU ETS in 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.

Enea Elektrownia Połaniec

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 March 2017 2,920 hours were used from the limit, including in Q1 2017 alone 731 hours. In Q1 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. Pursuant to 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.

Parameters of the OCR settlement model for 2016-2017:

Parameter 2016 2017
Hourly budget [PLN] 128 758.72 144 070.61
Reference price [PLN/MWh] 41.20 41.79
Hourly volume of required OCR [MWh] 3 451.09 3 447.49
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).

Coal market prices

In Q4 2016 there was a visible growth in coal prices on the global market. It resulted from the political decisions made in China, as a result of which production capacities of the local mines were reduced. Additionally, the situation was also affected by disturbances in deliveries relating to weather conditions and greater consumption of energy in China due to a hot summer.

On the other hand, Q1 2017 brought drops in prices. It resulted from suspending the prior decision of Chinese authorities in order to guarantee coal availability during the heating season. The consequence of these activities had the greatest impact on the prices of Australian coal whose average value in Q1 2017 was by 14% lower than the average prices in Q4 2016.

A smaller drop was reported for coal prices on the European market. Their average value in Q1 2017 was by 5% lower than the average value in Q4 2016. The result of such a reduction stemmed from: response to prior, speculative growths and lower generation of electricity from coal in Germany and France, increased supply of renewable energy sources in Germany, higher competitiveness of natural gas and information on the anticipated drop in demand for coal in Turkey. The tendency was supported also by seasonal drivers, related to higher temperatures and closing the heating season.

As compared to the prices of coal on the European and Australian market the lowest change was reported by coal prices on the African and American markets - a drop by 3% vs. Q4 2016. In RSA it was affected by the disturbances in the stable reception from key customers through limitations in the railway infrastructure and energy transmission. On the other hand, in the United States of America it stemmed from the withdrawal by the President of the Clean Energy Plan regulation, limiting the emissions of greenhouse gases in coal-fired power plants.

In Q1 2017 PSCMI1 index reached the value of 49.04 USD/t, which means a growth by 8.73% in relation to Q4 2016. The price level in that period was affected by a drop in the rate of dollar and a more severe than in the previous years winter and mining problems in Polish mines. On an annual basis, in 2106 PSCMI1 index reported drops amounting to 15% reaching the average annual level of prices totalling to 49.04 USD/t.

Wholesale electricity prices

The average price on SPOT market in Q1 2017 was higher by 1.7% in comparison with the same period of 2016. The prices grew especially in February. The prices were affected by the following factors:

  • low capacity in PPE system
  • small utilisation of wind generation
  • growth in demand for energy
  • greater export

Transaction prices and volumes - BASE Y-18

Source: Own development based on data from PPE and TFS.

On PPE forward market a very low liquidity is observed - when comparing turnover in Q1s of 2016 and 2017 between BASE-Y-17 and BASE Y-18 (it amounts to ca. 50%). 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 March 2017 to 208.00 PLN/MWh.

In Q1 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 - 1.51 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.

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.

Structure of current liabilities

Stan na 31 grudnia 2016 Stan na 31 marca 2017

Higher non-current liabilities (PLN 302 mln) stem mainly from drawing a loan in EIB for financing the multiannual investment plan in order to modernise and extend Enea Operator's power grids and issue BGK bonds in order to acquire EEP. Additionally, the growth stems also from increasing employee benefit liabilities and higher balance of provisions for other liabilities.

Lower current liabilities (drop by PLN 170 mln) stem mainly from lower level of loans, credits and debt securities by PLN 164 mln, which relates to the redemption of bonds by LW Bogdanka and reclassification of loans and bonds from long-term to short-term ones.

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 Q1 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 Q1 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 9% with a growth in price by almost 1%. The priority will continue to be keeping the unit costs on a relevant level and optimisation of investment expenditures. The results of the area of Mining will be positively influenced by the incorporation of Połaniec Power Plant under Enea CG's structure and utilisation of good practices as regards the cooperation of the area of Generation and Mining within the use of coal resources from LW Bogdanka.

The area of Generation which in Q1 2017 accounted for 30% 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 smaller production by the existing generation assets will be compensated by Unit 11, which will be commissioned at the end of 2017 and by a uniform production management in two production plants which remain Kozienice Power Plant and the newly acquired Połaniec Power Plant. The development of the generation assets belonging to Enea CG will contribute to obtaining higher results in the area of Generation in relation to the previous years.

A traditionally large share of the regulated area of Distribution in Enea CG's EBITDA (in Q1 2017 Distribution accounted for 39% of the Group's EBITDA) affects the predictability of cash flows and stabilises them over time. The basic elements affecting the results of this area are still two facts: 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 Energy Regulatory Office (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. Achievement of the indices set by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office is highly dependent on the weather conditions during the given year, which constitutes some risk for the stability of revenue generated in next 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 area's financial results. The results of the area of Trade are greatly affected by terminated contracts for the purchase of green proprietary interests, however the risk is considerably mitigated by charging the segment's results with relevant provisions for latent claims.

Despite difficult market and regulatory conditions, due to the consistent growth in the Group's value, searching for synergies among the Group's segments, Enea CG generates financial results on the anticipated level. The Management Board undertakes activities aiming at the consistent development of the Group in all the links of the value chain.

The Group's financial standing is safe, supported with a stable volume of cash, which as at the end of March 2017, including current financial assets kept to maturity and financial assets evaluated at fair value through result, amounted to over PLN 1.2 bln. The amount included the cash on the Companies' accounts an also bank deposits. Due to the consistently maintained cost discipline and optimum allocation of held resources the Group is guaranteed a favourable financing of the investments.

Enea Group implements a vast CAPEX programme (capital expenditures) covering mainly the area of Generation and the distribution network, and also acquisitions constituting market opportunities (as the acquisition of LW Bogdanka or the acquisition of Połaniec Power Plantfinalised in March 2017).

The implementation of the investment programme will positively affectthe financial results of Enea CG.

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 March 2017 amounted to 181,569, thus grew from the end of March 2016 by 7,711 (4.4%). And among households (tariff group set G) the TPA principle was used, as at the end of March 2017, by 465,432 customers, which means a growth by 2,802 (0.6%) 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 Q1 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, directly before making the final decision within the integrated proceedings.

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 November 2016 by Fitch Ratings agency of a long-term rating of Enea SA in national and foreign currency on the level of "BBB" and a long-term national rating on the level of "A(pol)" in relation to LW Bogdanka acquisition is of a key importance as to the realisation of the investment intentions of the Group. On 3 August 2016, due to methodological changes, Enea's rating was raised to "A+(pol)", which is a result of decreasing the long-term rating of Poland in national currency to "-A" from "A" (resulting also from methodological changes). The outlook of Enea's ratings is stable. 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.

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 Q1 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 has not improved in 2017 - according to PPE the trading volume on the futures market in January 2017 dropped by 45.8% in relation to the same period of 2016. 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 4 th 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. The factor which may improve the situation is enabling the existing installations to convert to the auction system. As at the publication date of the report the announced auction volumes for the existing installations are small and have no significant impact on the improvement of the sectoral situation.

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 Company foresees that the agreements should be terminated as a rule until the end of November 2016. The exact date of terminating individual contracts depends on the contractual terms.

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.

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

Enea Group's Corporate social responsibility in Q1 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the following actions:

In March 2017 Enea joined the Responsible Business Forum Partnership Programme. An official inauguration of the cooperation took place during the publication of "Responsible business in Poland 2016. Good Practices" Report.

Responsible Business Forum Partnership Programme is a long-term and comprehensive programme of cooperation with companies - leaders of the responsible business which through their engagement and activities contribute to the promotion of the idea of responsible business in Poland and creating a good climate among various groups of stakeholders. Strategic partners is companies which have experience in social responsibility and sustainable development. Currently, 50 companies are Strategic Partners of the Responsible Business Forum.

Responsible Business Forum is the largest and oldest non-governmental organisation in Poland, which deals with the concept of corporate social responsibility in a comprehensive way. It is a think-and-do-tank organisation being the "spokesperson" of conducting business in a responsible way, which is taking into account the impact of corporations on the environment and society. Along with the Strategic Partners it sets trends and directions of a responsible business and sustainable development in Poland.

Enea Group's Good Practices qualified to the Report entitled "Responsible Business in Poland" Enea Group has conducted numerous projects for years and supported various initiatives within corporate social responsibility. The proof of the engagement is publication since 2011 in "Responsible business in Poland. Good Practices" Report of CSR activities conducted by Enea Group. RBF Report is the largest cyclic review in Poland of activities and actions conducted by socially responsible business. The fifteenth edition of the report includes descriptions of practices of 180 companies which implemented its actions in 2016 and summarises the major issues related to the responsible business in Poland.

The report lists six CSR projects and programmes of Enea Group. Two long-term initiatives were mentioned as part of the published practices:

  • sustainable developmentreport for 2015
  • competence volunteering programme educational classes "Power-not so scary"

and four new initiatives:

  • programme of active protection of extremely endangered osprey taking into account the power transmission infrastructure - Enea Operator's initiative in cooperation with the Regional Directorate of Environmental Protection in Gorzów Wielkopolski
  • gifts and gratuities policy in Enea Group
  • Enea Operator's educational campaign: "We care for your safety. You take care too!"
  • Enea Trading's competition "Energy Market Modelling"

Enea Group's Corporate social responsibility in Q1 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the following actions:

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 co-financing.

In order to establish a varied offer of voluntary service which will be attractive for all the Group's Employees a meeting of Corporate Volunteering Coordinators was held. Representatives of the Group companies and Leaders of the Voluntary service - people who privately are especially engaged in the voluntary services - are examples and inspiration for others, defined the strategy and plan of actions for 2017 which will be implemented by the Employees of all the Group companies.

Competence Based Volunteering - continuation of the competence volunteering via realisation of programmes: "Power-not so scary" and "First aid - pre-medical rescue"

This is the first charity campaign directed at Enea Group Employees whose purpose is promoting physical activity and a healthy lifestyle and integrating of the Group Companies' Employees. Taking part in the run contest Employees collect points which are converted into Polish Zlotys. Due to the gathered amount it will be possible to realise activities supporting sport talents of children and youth. The campaign lasts until November 2017.

56 people declared participation in the campaign in Q1 2017 and their number is still growing. The campaign is supported by Enea Foundation.

Good Energy over Borders – the programme which builds a bridge of relations between the community of Wielkopolska region and Poles from Vilnius region. As part of the action, already in June, we will host a 50-person group of Polish numerous families from Lithuania.

of Enea Foundation During the visit in Wielkopolska the plans include sightseeing, participation in school classes at a Polish school, didactic workshops for teachers.

The major partner of the project is Caritas of the Poznań Archdiocese.

LW Bogdanka's corporate social responsibility in Q1 2017 was concentrated on the implementation of the below actions:

Ecological classes on the natural path in Nadrybie, Code of Conduct, Integrated OHS Management System and partnership for the promotion of blood donation - these are the best long-term practices as regards CSR which were distinguished in the Responsible Business Forum (RBF) "Responsible Business in Poland. Good Practices 2016".

The corporate volunteering of LW Bogdanka was realised 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 lingering in the wallet 1, 2 or 5 grosz, which are transferred to the Lublin branch of Polish Red Cross
  • The organisation of bottom-up charity employee campaigns for groups of people in a difficult life situation, e.g. the homeless and single mothers.

Joint Initiatives Group - Mining O.K. - is a project whose purpose is implementation and communicating socially responsible actions, demonstrating the significant CSR strategy in achieving financial goals of mining companies, and also cooperation on the development of standards of managing the process of impacting the local environment, market or employees. In February 2017, during the special session in 26th School of Underground Mining, the representative of LW Bogdanka shared LW Bogdanka's good practices in the implementation of objectives of sustainable development with the members of Mining O.K. initiative.

A Working Group for education and CSR popularisation by the Team for Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility, an auxiliary body of the Minister of Development and Finance - in reply to the need of efficiently reaching various groups of Stakeholders with educational actions as regards the sustainable development and responsible business conducting, on a ministerial level a working group was again appointed to the composition of which CSR practitioners were invited from various sectors and branches who will work jointly over the projects promoting CSR in Poland. The Group's composition includes also the representative of LW Bogdanka which works over the issue of "CSR in SMEs" - the goal of the subgroup is supporting small and medium enterprises in the process of a responsible business.

Distinction for good practices in Bogdanka

Local community support

LW Bogdanka engages in local social initiatives with the goal of developing the areas of culture, science, education, health, developing the municipal infrastructure and securing other needs of the local community. Caring for health and safety of the environment the Company supported the purchase of pulse oximeters for the University Children Hospital in Lublin, and also two MONAR centres located near Bogdanka.

Relations with the local community

Intersectoral Agreement forlife and health

LW Bogdanka, "Solidarni Górnicy" Foundation and Regional Centre of Blood Donation and Treatment in Lublin in March 2017 agreed the scope of joint actions in 2017, including the organisation of mobile and stationary blood donation actions, meetings propagating knowledge from this field among employees and management personnel and the campaign promoting honorary blood donation among the local society. In order to increase the impact of the inter-sectoral cooperation also new principles were developed of the communication and motivation plan within blood donation for employees of LW Bogdanka.

Other initiatives

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 is planning to continue the extension of this infrastructure and also intensification of educational activities conducted on its area. In March 2017, along with OTOP a detailed plan of further investments on the area of Śnieżka was developed, which finally is to be widened with a new area, and also become the most attractive one for the local society due to being equipped in the sightseeing tower and platform on the backwater.

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 2017 ca. 140 students from the Lubelskie Province got familiar with the profession of a miner and secrets of work in the Mine.
