1.1. Operating summary

In Q1-Q3 2019, ENEA Group generated EBITDA of PLN 2,556 million (up by PLN 582 million y/y). At PLN 1,151 million, the highest EBITDA was posted in the Generation Area (up by PLN 488 million y/y). The area's result was positively influenced by higher revenues from the sale of electricity and property rights, despite the negative development in the costs of fuel and CO2 emission allowance. The Mining Area recorded EBITDA of PLN 612 million, i.e. up by PLN 212 million y/y. The area's higher result was due to higher volumes of production and sales against the corresponding period of the previous year and a higher price of coal sales. In the Distribution Area, EBITDA was lower by PLN 67 million y/y (at PLN 804 million in Q1-Q3 2019). High average electricity prices contributed to growing costs of energy purchases for own needs and for covering the energy balance difference. Moreover, in this area the result on other operating activities decreased, mainly due to the change in the balance of provisions for grid assets and the effect of higher revenues from the insurer in the corresponding period of the previous year (compensation payments due to the effects of storms that occurred in 2017). The Trading Area posted EBITDA of PLN 17 million (down by PLN 21 million y/y). The retail trade recorded higher revenues from the sale of electricity to end users, including the estimated income from the price difference amount. However, the rate of growth did not offset the growing costs of energy purchase and environmental obligations.

  • ENEA Group spent PLN 1,491 million on CAPEX investments.
  • Production and sales of commercial coal exceeded 7 million tonnes.
  • ENEA Group generated 19.9 TWh of electricity.
  • Sale of heat in the Generation Area totalled 4,575 TJ.
  • Sale of distribution services to end users reached 14.8 TWh.
  • Volume of electricity and gas fuel sold to retail customers amounted to 15.1 TWh.

  • Growth in revenues from the sale of electricity
  • Growth in revenues from the sale of coal
  • Growth in revenues from the sale of gas
  • Decrease in revenues from the sale of heat
  • Growth in electricity and gas purchase costs
  • Growth in costs of materials and raw materials consumption

2.3.4. Trading

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

In Q1-Q3 2019, the total volume of sales decreased by 766 GWh, or by approx. 5%, as compared to Q1-Q3 2018. A decrease in electricity sales (of 873 GWh, i.e. by approx. 7%) was recorded in the business customers segment, which was caused by a change in the portfolio of strategic customers. Meanwhile, in the households segment the volume of electricity sales increased (by 68 GWh, i.e. by approx. 2%). The volume of gas fuel sales also increased compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (by 39 GWh, i.e. by approx. 6%).

Revenues from the sale of electricity in Q1-Q3 2019 take into account the Company's adjustment to the provisions of the Act of 28 December 2018 on amending the Excise Duty Act and certain other acts, with respect to the application of appropriate prices and rates for the Electricity Tariff for G Tariff customers (households) approved by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (i.e. at the level of prices as of 31 December 2018), as well as other price lists (i.e. Electricity Tariffs for A, B, C and R Tariff customers and product price lists for G Tariff customers at the level as of 30 June 2018).

In Q1-Q3 2019, total sales revenues increased by PLN 129 million, i.e. by approx. 4% when compared to the corresponding period of 2018. The growth was posted in the revenues from both electricity and gas fuel sales.

2.5.3.1. Agreements of significance to ENEA Group's operations

In Q1-Q3 2019, ENEA Group companies did not conclude any significant agreements; however, in the reporting period were concluded:

  • an annex to the Multiannual Sale Agreement between ENEA Wytwarzanie and JSW S.A., pursuant to which all the mud deliveries contracted for ENEA Wytwarzanie for 2019 were transferred to ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec,
  • an agreement with PKP Cargo for the transport of 5.9 million tonnes of thermal coal from LW Bogdanka S.A. to ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o.,
  • an annex to the Multiannual Agreement on the supply of power coal between ENEA Wytwarzanie and LW Bogdanka S.A., under which the volume of coal supplies to ENEA Wytwarzanie to be delivered in 2019 was increased,
  • an agreement between ENEA Połaniec Power Plant and GE Power and Stal-Systems for upgrade of electrostatic precipitators of six power units in order to comply with BAT conclusions, and
  • an agreement between ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec and REMAK-ENERGOMONTAŻ S.A. for the contract "Upgrade of C and D absorbers of the FGD Installation at ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. in order to adjust it to the new environmental standards specified in BREF/BAT with respect to SO2 and dust emissions".

2.5.3.2. Financing sources of the investment programme

ENEA S.A. finances the investment programme using financial surpluses from its business activities and external debt. ENEA Group pursues the investment financing model, in which ENEA S.A. acquires external sources of financing and distributes them to its subsidiaries. In further activities, ENEA S.A. will focus on ensuring appropriate diversification of external sources of financing for the investments planned in ENEA Group's Strategy in order to optimize the amount of costs and debt repayment dates. On 26 June 2019, ENEA S.A. issued five-year ENEA0624 series bonds with a value of PLN 1 billion under the domestic bond programme up to the maximum amount of PLN 5 billion. The purpose of the issue is to refinance the debt resulting from the ENEA0220 series bonds ("Bonds") issued by the Issuer. On 30 September 2019, the Management Board of ENEA S.A. resolved to conduct an early redemption of the Bonds in order to cancel them by 14 October 2019. As at 30 September 2019, the nominal debt in respect of bonds issued and loans taken out by ENEA S.A. totalled PLN 9,032 million.

2.5.3.3. Suretyships and guarantees granted

In Q1-Q3 2019, the companies of ENEA Group did not grant any new suretyships or guarantees of significant value. As at 30 September 2019, the value of corporate suretyships and guarantees granted by ENEA S.A. for hedging the liabilities of ENEA Group companies totalled PLN 56.9 million, whereas the total value of bank guarantees issued on request of ENEA S.A. and being the security of the liabilities of ENEA Group companies amounted to PLN 481.7 million.

2.5.3.4. Interest rate hedging transactions

Under the Interest Rate Risk Management Policy, in Q1-Q3 2019 ENEA S.A. concluded an Interest Rate Swap transaction for exposures of PLN 489 million.

2.5.3.5. Bond issue programmes of subsidiaries

ENEA Group has adopted a model of financing investments implemented by subsidiaries of ENEA S.A. through intra-group financing. ENEA S.A. raises long-term financing on the financial market by taking out loans or issuing bonds, which it then distributes within the Group.

On the wholesale electricity futures market, the price of BASE Y-20 product increased by 7% to 276.07 PLN/MWh compared to a similar product (i.e. BASE Y-19) in Q3 2018.

BASE Y-20 prices in Q3 2019 were characterised by high volatility. Despite an increase in prices from approximately 275.00 PLN/MWh at the beginning of the quarter to levels close to 285.00 PLN/MWh, in the second part of the quarter prices dropped even below 270.00 PLN/MWh.

The BASE Y-20 price in Q3 2019 was mainly affected by changes in the prices of CO2 emission allowances.

The average electricity price on the SPOT market in the third quarter of 2019 was 1% lower than in the corresponding period of 2018. This slight decrease was mainly due to a significantly lower valuation of September than in the corresponding period of 2018.

The level of electricity prices on the SPOT market in Q3 2019 was affected by the following factors:

  • high prices of CO2 emission allowances (pro-growth factor),
  • higher than the planned levels of power losses in the National Power System (NPS) (pro-growth factor),
  • high wind generation (pro-drop factor),
  • average power demand in the NPS at a lower level compared to the same period in 2018 (factor limiting the price increase),
  • higher than in Q3 2018 energy imports from neighbouring countries (pro-drop factor).

COemissions allowances (Dec-19)

Source: ICE, settlement prices

Until the end of Q3 2019, no CO2 emission allowances intended for the United Kingdom were auctioned. This was related to the decision of the European Commission to suspend the allocation of free allowances and auctions for UK from the beginning of 2019. Uncertainty regarding "Brexit" determined the high volatility of prices of CO2 emission allowances. In July 2019, the price of emission allowances reached a historical maximum of 29.77 EUR/t, followed by a strong downward correction. After the election of Boris Johnson as UK Prime Minister, the scenario of UK's no-deal withdrawal from the EU (non-deal Brexit) seemed increasingly likely. In September 2019, the German government presented a draft of a new climate strategy to achieve Germany's reduction target of 55% (by 2030).

In the case of "green" property rights, in Q3 2019 the side trend initiated in Q2 was maintained, after a sharp increase in prices from the level of approx. 80 PLN/MWh to the level of approx. 130 PLN/MWh. The dynamic decline in prices of "green" property rights in Q1 2019 was related to the publication of the draft amendment to the RES Act, which linked the replacement fee to the price of electricity. After the European Commission withdrew from the proposed changes in the calculation of the replacement fee, the market reacted again with a dynamic change in the opposite direction, i.e. a significant price increase.

On 29 August 2019, the Act of 19 July 2019 amending the Act on Renewable Energy Sources came into force.

At the end of Q3 2019, the number of unredeemed rights in the register reached 33.7 TWh.

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

6.1. Regulatory environment

The activities of ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries are conducted in an environment subject to special legal regulations, both at the domestic and at the European Union level (regulated business activity). A number of legal regulations concerning energy companies are derived from political decisions. For this reason, these regulations are subject to frequent changes, which the Company is not able to predict, and thus determine their consequences for its business operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries ("ENEA Group") are subject to the regulations in the scope of the tax system, protection of competition and consumers, employee rights, or environment protection. It cannot be excluded that changes in these areas, both in specific legal acts as well as individual interpretations relating to significant areas of ENEA Group's activities, can lead to possible risks for the Group's activities.

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

Detailed information on the impact of the Act amending the Excise Duty Act was provided in "Condensed interim consolidated financial statement of the ENEA Capital Group for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2019" in Point 26.1.

6.1.2. Internal energy market

In 2018, negotiations (the so-called trilogues) on the final provisions of the Winter Package, which are of fundamental importance for the functioning of the energy sector, were completed. In particular, it should be noted that under the Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity, the lack of support from national power markets for generating units not meeting the so-called standard of 550g CO2/kWh emissions was introduced. However, as part of the compromise sought by the Polish delegation, an exception was foreseen, consisting in the fact that capacity obligations arising from main auctions won (capacity contracts concluded) before 31 December 2019 were not subject to the emissions limits. In accordance with this exception, such units may receive remuneration for the performance of the capacity obligation for the entire period for which support was obtained from the capacity market. This is a very important compromise in view of the fact that the capacity market is a state aid instrument which required the approval of the European Commission and must operate in accordance with the regulations of the internal market of the European Union. Moreover, in the course of trilogues, the Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (so-called RED II) set the EU RES 2030 target of 32% in gross final energy consumption and the possibility of support for new biomass units with a capacity above 100 MW in the event of achieving electricity efficiency at the level of 36%. However, the Energy Efficiency Directive set the reduction of energy consumption in the EU by 32.5% by 2030. The Energy Union Management Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, mending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council) introduced the obligation to draw up a National Energy and Climate Plan as part of the implementation of the Energy Union, covering five dimensions: energy security, internal energy market, energy efficiency, decarbonisation, research, innovation and competitiveness. The main objective of the Energy Union governance mechanism is to enable the achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union, in particular the objectives of the climate and energy policy framework by 2030 in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction, renewable energy and energy efficiency. In January 2019, the Ministry of Energy submitted for consultation the draft document "National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030" ("NECP 2030"). In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council, by 31 December 2019, and then by 1 January 2029 and every ten years thereafter, each Member State shall notify the Commission of an integrated national energy and climate plan.

6.1.3. Demand for electricity

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

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

6.1.4. Capacity market

Detailed information on contracted capacities for ENEA Group is described in the "Report of the Management Board on the operations of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2018" in Chapter 6.

6.1.5. European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)

The Directive establishes, inter alia, two financial mechanisms:

  • Modernisation Fund for the modernisation of energy systems in low income Member States. It is intended to be financed by proceeds from the auction of allowances in the years 2021 to 2030. The Fund is to be used primarily to support the development of energy efficiency and investments in renewable energy sources.
  • Innovation Fund to provide financial support for RES development, carbon capture and storage and innovative low-emission projects. It is to be supplied with funds from allowances, which otherwise would be allocated free of charge or sold through auctions.

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

6.1.6. Participation in the nuclear power plant programme

On 15 April 2015, KGHM, PGE, Tauron and ENEA signed a Share Purchase Agreement in PGE EJ 1. KGHM, Tauron and ENEA acquired from PGE 10% of shares each (in total 30% of shares) in PGE EJ 1. ENEA paid for the acquired shares PLN 16 million. According to the Shareholders' Agreement, ENEA S.A.'s financial contribution in the Phasing-in Period shall not exceed the amount of approx. PLN 107 million. The total expenditure of ENEA S.A. resulting from the purchase of shares and the increase of the Company's share capital have so far totalled PLN 32,544 thousand. On 28 November 2018, PGE S.A. expressed an initial interest in acquiring all shares in PGE EJ 1. Information presented by PGE S.A. indicated that the transaction would be possible upon a valuation by an independent advisor and obtaining corporate approvals by all involved entities. On 4 December 2018, ENEA expressed an initial interest in selling all shares held in PGE EJ 1. The other shareholders, i.e. Tauron and KGHM, also expressed an initial interest in selling shares held by them in PGE EJ 1. On 17 April 2019, PGE S.A. decided to withdraw from the process of acquisition of shares held by other Shareholders.

6.1.7. Amendment to RES Act

On 29 August 2019, the Act amending the Act on Renewable Energy Sources and certain other acts entered into force. It replaced the name "prosumer" to "renewable energy prosumer" in the RES Act and in the Energy Law. Currently, a renewable energy prospectus may be any end user who generates electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources for their own needs in a microinstallation (with the installed electric power not exceeding 50 kW or the achievable thermal power in cogeneration not exceeding 150 kW), provided that, in the case of an end user who is not a household customer of electric energy, renewable energy generation is not its core business activity, as defined in accordance with the regulations issued pursuant to Article 40 paragraph 2 of the Act of 29 June 1995 on Public Statistics. The definition and rules of settlements with energy cooperatives have been changed – currently, energy cooperatives will be settled on similar terms as renewable energy prosumers, but using a coefficient of 1:0.6 for the energy introduced into the grid to the energy taken from the grid.

The amendment of the RES Act will enable the public support mechanisms to cover also larger installations. In the capacity auctions planned for 2019, support will be provided for renewable energy sources with a capacity of up to 3.4 GW - including 2.5 GW for wind power in the wind and photovoltaic basket for projects with a capacity of over 1 MW, and about 0.7 GW for investors planning to submit bids in the wind and photovoltaic basket with a unit capacity of up to 1 MW. The amendment extended the maximum time for launching energy generation from wind power plants supported in this year's auction from 24 to 33 months, and from photovoltaic power plants from 18 to 24 months. In the case of other technologies, the period of 42 months will now be used, rather than 36 months as before the amendment of the RES Act.

The Act imposed an obligation on energy companies to adapt the provisions of agreements concluded with renewable energy prosumers to the amended provisions of the RES Act and agreements concluded with renewable energy prosumers and electricity producers in renewable energy installations to the amended provisions of the Energy Law within 3 months from the date of entry into force of the amending Act, i.e. until 29 November 2019.

6.1.8. 2019 Tariff for electricity distribution services

By virtue of the decision of the President of the Energy Regulatory Office published in the Energy Regulatory Office's sector bulletin "Electricity" No. 86(2721) of 22 March 2019, the tariff for electricity distribution services for the period until 31 December 2019 was approved. The tariff came into force on 6 April 2019, except for the transitional fee and RES fee rates approved by the decision of the President of ERO dated 14 January 2019, which come into force retroactively from 1 January 2019, and the cogeneration fee rates approved by the decision of the President of ERO, which came into force on 25 January 2019.

6.2. Natural environment

6.2.1. Reduction of pollutant emissions

In accordance with EU regulations, and in particular Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (the Industrial Emissions Directive or IED), as of 1 January 2016 new, stricter environment protection standards are applicable. Therefore, all electricity producers in Poland who use first of all carbon-intensive technologies are obliged to adjust their power units to the new environmental requirements. To address the problems of entrepreneurs, EU law envisages a possibility of using derogation mechanisms. The alleviation of the IED requirements in the form of a derogation makes it possible to obtain additional time for adjusting generation units to the stricter air pollutant emission standards. On 17 August 2017, the so-called BAT conclusions for large combustion plants (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 of 31 July 2017 laying down the conclusions on best available techniques (the BAT conclusions) for large combustion plants in accordance with Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council) were published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The published BAT conclusions introduce, among other things, stricter requirements (than in the IED) for pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust. The BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) were also determined for additional substances such as mercury, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia. The BAT conclusions will apply from 18 August 2021 after the end of the 4 year adjustment period.

7. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Highlights:

ENEA Group has published its eighth sustainability report. As in previous years, for the sake of the environment, it is only available online. The document, prepared in accordance with international standards, describes the Group's environmental, social and economic performance in 2018. For the first time, the report refers ENEA's projects to the commitments ENEA Group has made to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030 of the United Nations (UN). The implementation of these commitments by ENEA Group reflects not only its concern for the quality of life, natural environment and energy security of Poland, but also the awareness of global challenges.

Awards:

During the Dialogue Forum 2019, which was organized to mark the 30th anniversary of the free market economy in Poland, ENEA Group's project "Electricity – nothing to be afraid of" was recognized as one of the most important local initiatives in the last thirty years. ENEA Group has been implementing the project "Electricity's not so scary" through employee volunteering since 2011.

Charity actions:

  • ENEA Group once again became a sponsor of the charity relay race, delegating the largest group of runners-racers – ENEA Group Employees. 145 people stood at the start of the race and their participation increased the number of points in ENEA Group's charity action "We Run – We Raise Funds – We Help".
  • Through ENEA Foundation, we have virtually adopted 10 dogs that are staying at the Animal Shelter "In the Grove" near Śrem in the Province of Poznań (Greater Poland). During the year, special events will be organized with the active participation of ENEA Volunteers and their families, during which activities for homeless dogs will be undertaken.

7. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – cont.

Educational projects:

  • In September, the 2 nd edition of ENEA Talent Academy was summarized and the 3 rd edition of the competition was inaugurated. During the press conference, the winners of last year's edition of the competition were awarded statuettes and changes in the rules and regulations of the 3 rd edition were presented. In this year's edition, the scholarships in the amount of 3,000 PLN for the realization of their passions and interests are open to talented students of primary schools (from the fourth grade) and secondary schools, who have documented achievements and develop their talents in science, art or sport. We also encourage organizations with initiative, including: public primary and secondary schools, non-governmental organizations (including foundations and associations), sports clubs, student sports clubs and sports unions, state and local government cultural institutions, which will present proposals for original educational programs for young people. For the implementation of projects supporting the development of interests and skills, PLN 10,000 can be obtained.
  • This year, ENEA Group was present at the largest educational event in Poznań, organised every year by the Poznań University of Technology under the banner of "Researchers' Night". At ENEA stand, the zones connected with patience, logic, creativity and programming were presented. During the event, the stand was visited by thousands of visitors.

Development of ongoing CSR projects:

  • ENEA Eco Projects implementation of an ongoing pro-environmental campaign;
  • Implementation of the grant competition "The Power of Help"

Q1-Q3 2019:

EBITDA of ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. – change drivers (a decrease of PLN 69 million):

    • higher revenues from the sale of distribution services to end users by PLN 80 million are mainly due to higher rates in the approved tariff for 2019
  • higher costs of purchase of transmission and distribution services (on balance) by PLN 22 million are due to higher rates in the approved tariff for 2019
  • higher costs of electricity purchase to cover the energy balance difference (on balance) by PLN 48 million result primarily from higher average electricity prices
  • higher operating expenses by PLN 31 million result mainly from higher costs of employee benefits, taxes and levies, and third-party services
  • lower result on other operating activities by PLN 53 million resulting mainly from lower revenues from the insurer due to removal of random damages and changes in provisions for grid assets

Q3 2019:

EBITDA of ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. – change drivers (a decrease of PLN 2 million):

    • higher revenues from the sale of distribution services to end users by PLN 46 million are mainly due to higher rates in the approved tariff for 2019
  • higher costs of purchase of transmission and distribution services (on balance) by PLN 13 million are due to higher rates in the approved tariff for 2019
  • higher costs of electricity purchase to cover the energy balance difference (on balance) by PLN 10 million result primarily from a higher average electricity price
  • higher operating expenses by PLN 19 million result mainly from higher costs of employee benefits, taxes and levies, and third-party services
  • lower result on other operating activities by LN 14 million resulting mainly from lower revenues from the insurer due to removal of random damages, changes in provisions for grid assets and revenues from collisions
