ENEA Group in numbers

MINING GENERATION DISTRIBUTION TRADING 22.4% share in the steam coal market in Poland 6.3 GW total installed capacity 2.7 million users of distribution services 2.6 million customers 437.3 million tons of mining potential in 4 mining concession areas 443 MW installed RES capacity 119.3 thousand km distribution lines, including connections 12.2 TWh sales of electricity and gaseous fuel to retail customers in H1 2021 4.9 million tons net coal production in H1 2021 12.1 TWh total net energy generated in H1 2021 10.2 TWh energy distributed in H1 2021 32 Customer Service Offices

1. Operating summary of H1 2021

In H1 2021, the ENEA Group generated EBITDA of PLN 1,652 million (down by PLN 170 million y/y).

The Generation Area posted EBITDA of 655 million (down by PLN 217 million y/y). A significant decrease in EBITDA was recorded in the System Power Plants Segment, by PLN 271 million y/y, driven down by the lower margin on generation (lower unit CDS chiefly due to an increase in CO2 costs and lower energy prices) and trading and the Balancing Market (lower unit margins, decrease in volume), partially offset by revenues from the capacity market. EBITDA in the Heat Segment and in the RES Segment increased by PLN 20 million and PLN 35 million y/y, respectively.

The Mining Area generated EBITDA of PLN 318 million, (up by PLN 104 million y/y). The higher EBITDA was driven mainly by the higher sales of coal, partially offset by a lower sales price.

The Distribution Area posted EBITDA of PLN 687 million (up by PLN 9 million y/y). This higher result was driven by higher margins on licensed activities, affected, among other factors, by higher revenue from sales of distribution services, lower costs of purchasing transmission and distribution services and lower costs of purchasing electricity for the balance difference purposes. The increase in operating expenses and the decline in the result on other operating activities adversely affected the segment's performance.

The Trading Area posted EBITDA of 9 million (down by PLN 31 million y/y). The lower EBITDA results mainly from the lower average sales price of energy, a change in provisions related to onerous contracts, a revaluation of CO2 contracts and an increase in the costs of environmental obligations, partially offset by a lower average energy purchase price.

  • The ENEA Group incurred CAPEX of PLN 728 million.
  • Production of commercial coal was 4.9 million tons.

Note: The data presented above are for the baseline variant. The Company also has parallel technological variants that are equally as attractive, but feature a different technological configuration resulting in different times and different numbers of shutdowns of B1-B8 units, which are required for the replacement of the production capacity.

The above data for B1-B8 were prepared on the basis of the currently expected replacement schedule for the production capacity, while data for other units were prepared on the basis of the current working schedule of the units and the generation unit shutdowns anticipated in the schedule. ENEA Wytwarzanie has completed the conceptual work including analysis of the possibility and justification for the use of gaseous fuel (gas and steam unit) in the existing infrastructure of 200 MWe class units. It is assumed that all the generation capacity of the 200 MWe units will be replaced, however the final capacity of the units to be replaced will be specified as a result of a tender procedure. The restoration of generation capacity is planned to take place in several stages. Only after the target capacity replacement model is developed, the shutdown schedule for the 200 MWe power units will be updated. The required corporate approvals have been obtained for the 1st stage of the project associated with the preparation of the Terms of Reference (ToR). This stage is currently under way.

2.4. Development strategy

These development directions form a foundation, which is used to define strategic goals for the ENEA Group. ENEA has identified five key strategic goals supporting the transformation of the ENEA Group into a low-emission conglomerate.

    1. diversification of the ENEA Group's generation portfolio;
    1. reliability and continuity of electricity supply;
    1. responsible partnership in sustainable management of relations with local communities, the environment and customers;
    1. ensuring financial security of the ENEA Group;
    1. innovation in all aspects of the ENEA Group's activity;

Its overriding objective will entail its sustainable development. Accordingly, the ENEA Group's overriding objective is "continuous growth of the ENEA Group's value while ensuring sustainable development".

The ENEA Group's Strategy currently in force calls for the achievement of a number of KPIs by 2030 and 2035. Detailed parameters adopted for the Strategy and information on the capital expenditures earmarked for its implementation were presented in various disclosure instruments, including Current Report No. 36/2019.

At the same time, due to abundant changes of a fundamental nature in the industry environment, work is underway on updating the ENEA Group's Strategy in order to address existing challenges and circumstances affecting businesses operating in the power sector. The updated Strategy will enable an ambitious, sustainable and efficient transformation of the ENEA Group.

In light of the foregoing, in the context of this report, the Issuer has opted to refrain from presenting the level of attainment of selected KPIs provided for in the current Strategy from the perspective of the performance and operational data for H1 2021.

4. Market environment

Coal prices on the Polish market

PSCMI1: average price of PSCMI1 in Q2 2021 was PLN 11.32 per GJ, or 5.9% y/y down from the average price of PLN 12.03 per GJ in Q2 2020. In H1 2021, the average price was PLN 11.44 per GJ vs. PLN 12.03 per GJ in 2020 – down by 4.9% y/y.

Fine coal fractions: The average price of fine steam coal sold to Commercial Power Plants in Q2 2021 was PLN 11.30 per GJ vs. the average price in Q2 2020 of PLN 11.69 per GJ – down by 3.3% y/y. In H1 2021, the average price of fine coal fractions was PLN 11.29 per GJ vs. PLN 11.70 per GJ in 2020 – down by 3.5% y/y.

In H1 2021, Polish mines produced a total of 21.4 million tons of steam coal, compared to 20.6 million tons in the corresponding period of 2020 (+4% y/y). Sales of coal on the domestic coal market was 21.4 million tons, having increased by 14.9% y/y.

Inventories of steam coal at the end of June fell 22.2% y/y to 5.0 million tons. In H1 2021, total imports to the domestic market reached 4.8 million tons of steam coal, up 12.2% compared to the corresponding period of 2020.

Situation in the domestic bituminous coal mining sector

The electricity price path is related to the costs of acquisition of generation fuel and the cost of purchasing CO2 emission allowances, which are currently oscillating within the EUR 50-58 per ton range and generate additional risks related to the term contracting process. A gradual decline in domestic output is expected as per the mine shutdown schedule within the energy transition horizon.

Energy prices on the Polish market

BASE_Y_20/21/22 (PLN/MWh)

Source: PPE, clearing prices

On the wholesale electricity forward market, the average price of the BASE Y-22 product increased 48%, to PLN 335.54 per MWh in Q2 2021, compared to the corresponding product (i.e. BASE Y-21) in Q2 2020.

The market price of BASE Y-22 in H1 2021 was highly volatile. At the beginning of the year, it hovered above PLN 259.86 per MWh, to drop to slightly below PLN 358.65 per MWh towards the end of the six-month period.

The BASE Y-22 price in H1 2021 was affected chiefly by changes in the prices of CO2 emission allowances.

RDN BASE (PLN/MWh)

Source: PPE, clearing prices

The average price of electricity on the spot market in Q2 2021 was 69% higher than in the corresponding period of 2020. This increase resulted mainly from the considerably higher valuation of all months in the quarter than in the corresponding period of 2020.

The level of electricity prices on the spot market in H1 2021 was affected by:

  • high prices of CO₂ emission allowances (price-increasing effect),
  • high levels of power deficits in the Polish Power System (NPS) than planned (price-increasing effect),
  • relatively low wind generation in the winter period (price-increasing effect),
  • average demand for power in the Polish Power System (PPS) at a higher level compared to 2020 (price-increasing effect),
  • relatively low air temperatures in the winter period (price-increasing effect),
  • relatively low energy imports from neighboring countries (price-increasing effect).

In H1 2021, the volume of trading in the annual frontal product, that is BASE_Y-22, totaled 5,153 MW, signifying a major drop compared to H1 2020, when transactions for a total of as much as 7,965 MW were executed under BASE_Y-21 contracting (down by 35% y/y). The average volume contracted at each session declined from 64 MW in 2020 to 42 MW in 2021.

Prices of CO2 emission allowances and "green" property rights

CO₂ emission allowances (Dec-20) (EUR/t)

In the early days of January, the prices of CO2 emission allowances continued to follow an upward trend, which started at the turn of October and November, along with favorable news about the development of vaccines against COVID-19, and was additionally reinforced by factors such as the setting of a new emission reduction target of 55% by 2030, the postponement of primary auctions and the allocation of free allowances to industry. Moreover, the UK finally decided to leave the EU ETS and create its own emissions trading system, with operators participating in the EU ETS still required to fulfill the obligation for 2020. The first corrective move (with a minimum at EUR 31.62 per ton) occurred place at the turn of January, following which the prices stabilized at an average level of approx. EUR 33.40 per ton in a side trend. The rapid resumption of the upward trend coincided with the launch of primary auctions. The first auction of German allowances was settled at EUR 33.51 per ton. The second auction of Polish CO2 emission allowances was settled at a price higher by more than EUR 4 per ton, namely at EUR 38.00 per ton. Ultimately, this move brought the prices closer to EUR 40 per ton (with a maximum of EUR 40.02 per ton reached on 12 February 2021). A price correction followed this local extreme, most likely caused by a Bloomberg article (temporal coincidence), according to which the European Commission is considering the imposition of limits on allowances held in the register by market participants (including investment funds) as a response to the speculative nature of the February price increase. Eventually, the correction halted at EUR 37.27 per ton and was followed by another steep price increase, with the price reaching a level close to EUR 43 per ton (EUR 42.99 per ton on 17 March 2021). The market's discounting of the possible effects of changes to the EU ETS that must be made to bring the EU ETS in line with the approved new reduction target, and the uncertainty arising from the imminent launch of the UK ETS, pushed prices up to EUR 56.65 per ton in the first half of May. Ultimately, the launch of UK auctions caused a temporary drop in EU ETS prices due to capital transfers, as UK units holding European allowances cashed in to buy UK allowances. This procedure was observed during two more UK auctions, which had a declining impact on the quotation of EUAs.

Other factors important for the valuation of CO2 emission allowances in June included mainly:

  • relocation of the part of the ICE exchange responsible for the trading of EUAs from London to Amsterdam (as a result of the Brexit) and the resulting technical problems that made effective trading impossible and led to a temporary suspension of trading,
  • information on the Fit for 55 legislation package associated with the implementation of European New Deal and changes in the Climate policy.

As a result of the price fluctuations, ultimately, the average price of CO2 emission allowances in H1 2021 was EUR 43.96 per ton and in Q2 alone it was EUR 50.20 per ton.

On 26 February 2021, the auction platform ICE published an auction calendar for allowances for the UK ETS, with auctions taking place every second Wednesday until 15 December 2021. The minimum price for allowances was set at GBP 22 per ton (was originally intended to be set at GBP 15 per ton). This price will be withdrawn when the UK ETS is considered "mature".

In Q2 2021, the average price was 132% higher than the average price in the corresponding period of 2020.

Prices of "green" property rights (PMOZE_A) (PLN/MWh)

Source: PPE, session market indices

Over a significant portion of Q1 2021, the quotations of "green" property rights continued the side trend that started in Q4 2020, with levels approximating PLN 142.30 per MWh until mid-March and subsequently about PLN 149.18 per MWh. Only in May the quotations rose even up to PLN 162.99 per MWh (which was the average transaction price of 1 June 2021) and at the end of the analyzed period the prices ultimately reached PLN 167.18 per MWh on 29 June 2021. The increase in prices in the second half of June resulted from the publication, on 16 June 2021, of a draft regulation increasing the obligation from 19.35% (under Article 59 of the RES Act) to 19.5% in 2022 (retaining the 2021 level). On 26 July, a summary of the public consultation on the above draft regulation was published and the proposed value of the obligation was reduced to 18.5% in 2022.

In Q2 2021, the average price was 24% higher than the average price in the corresponding period of 2020.

According to data provided by the Polish Power Exchange, approx. 18.3 TWh of property rights were redeemed in the period from 1 July 2020 to 31 June 2021, as compared to the estimated obligation of about 24 TWh (although a delay in information conveyed from ERO to PPE may have occurred), while about 30.8 TWh remained in the register.

H1 2021 EBITDA drivers:

(+) Greater revenue from sales of coal in connection with the higher volume of coal sales (+1.1 million tons).

(-) Greater volume of sales coupled with a lower price of coal sold.

(-) Higher mining cash cost – mining volume was up by 1.4 million tons, which translated into a higher cost of consumption of materials and costs of third-party services (more mining days).

(-) In 2020, an increase in the number of employees taking advantage of the benefits introduced by the "anti-crisis shield" in connection with the current pandemic – reduced burden on the company. Due to the limited coal output in 2020, some employees were relocated to excavation works originally intended to be performed by external contractors. In 2020, a higher value of employee compensations was derecognized to CAPEX (it was activated and did not burden the company's current financial result; effect of a lower base).

There are differences in the way depreciation is presented in financial reports of the ENEA Group and the LW Bogdanka Group.

8. Other information relevant to evaluation of the issuer's standing

Regulatory environment

The business of ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries is conducted in an environment that is subject to special legal regulation, both at the national level and at European Union level (regulated economic activity). A number of legal regulations applicable to utility companies have been enacted based on decisions of a political nature. For this reason, these regulations are subject to frequent amendments that the Company is unable to foresee or predict their effects on its business. This notwithstanding, ENEA S.A. and its subsidiaries ("ENEA Group") are subject to legal regulation in the field of tax system, competition and consumer protection, employee law and environmental protection. It cannot be ruled out that changes in these areas arising from specific legislation or individual interpretations related to significant areas of the ENEA Group's business may become a source of potential risks for this economic activity.

8.1. Internal electricity market

The business of entities operating in the power sector is also governed by a number of EU regulations. Information on key regulations in force in this area is provided in Chapter 10 of the "Management Board Report on the Activity of ENEA S.A. and the ENEA Group in 2020".

In H1 2021 and after the balance sheet date, there were no changes in material regulations governing the operation of the internal electricity market.

8.2. Demand for electricity

It is estimated that net domestic demand for electricity will surpass 181 TWh in 2030 and 204 TWh in 2040. Demand for maximum capacity will reach nearly 28 GW in 2030 and over 31 GW in 2040. The overall increase in net demand for electricity in 2020–2040 is estimated at 27.7%. The peak demand for electricity will increase 27.8%1) during this period. 1) https://www.gov.pl/web/klimat/polityka-energetyczna-polski

8.3. Amendment to the Energy Law

On 18 June 2021, the Act of 20 May 2021 amending the Energy Law Act and certain other laws was published in the Journal of laws. It introduces a number of solutions that are important for the functioning of the members of the energy market. Key amendments include the rollout of smart metering in Poland. This action will be deployed by distribution system operators, and thus also by ENEA Operator. The amended legislation contains a schedule for the installation of remote reading meters at electricity consumption points and stipulates that by 31 December 2028 such meters must be installed by at least 80% of end users. Moreover, the law provides that by 31 December 2023 there must be 15% of such users, by 31 December 2025 – 35%, and by 31 December 2027 – 65%.

The Act also introduces, among other things, changes in the scope of activity of the Negotiations Coordinator, rules for entering into agreements with dynamic pricing, strengthens the existing customer rights and introduces new rights associated with the sales of electricity (new contractual terms, billing obligations, dispute resolution with the seller, disclosure obligations).

The amended law also provides for the appointment of the Energy Market Information Operator (OIRE), which function will be entrusted to PSE S.A. The Energy Market Information Operator will manage the Central Energy Market Information System (CSIRE), scheduled to be deployed within 3 years from the date of entry into force of the amended Energy Law, the uses of which will include the processing of data obtained from smart meters. The establishment of the Central Energy Market Information System will usher in fundamental changes to the method of information exchange between energy market participants.

The amended law also contains solutions reinforcing the position of consumers and improving consumer protection on the energy and gaseous fuel market, and facilitating the operation of energy companies by creating a legal framework for the operation of closed distribution systems and energy storage facilities.

The other units, except for unit 9, were notified for participation in the secondary market. ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec and ENEA Wytwarzanie executed a joint venture agreement in the area of the capacity market providing for the companies' joint operation in the capacity market and mutual reservations.

8.7. REMIT

REMIT is Regulation (EU) No. 1227/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency. In accordance with this regulation, the electricity market is subject to specific restrictive rules governing the publication and disclosure of information that may affect the prices of energy products on the wholesale energy market, including an absolute prohibition of any market manipulation.

REMIT requires that every market participant be registered in the national register. Market participants are required to report data on the transactions they execute on wholesale energy markets, including any orders they place. REMIT also imposes the obligation to make public, by way of a formalized announcement, the so-called inside information concerning the capacity and use of facilities for production, storage, consumption or transmission of electricity, including concerning planned or unplanned unavailability of these facilities. REMIT prohibits manipulation or attempts to manipulate the market and prohibits the use of inside information for commercial activities. REMIT equips regulatory authorities with powers to conduct investigations, enforce the provisions of the regulation and establish penalties for failure to fulfill the obligations.

Starting from 1 January 2021, an effective disclosure of inside information is a publication made through Inside Information Platforms (IIPs) approved by the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). In Poland, such a platform for the energy market is the Exchange Information Platform operated by the Polish Power Exchange.

Also from 1 January 2021, ACER charges fees to reporting entities under the Registered Reporting Mechanism (RRM) for collecting, processing and analyzing information reported by market participants or entities acting on their behalf.

8.8. EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)

The beginning of 2021 marked the launch of Phase IV of the EU ETS. The changes introduced as part of the EU ETS (e.g. Directive 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2018 amending Directive 2003/87/EC to enhance costeffective emission reductions and low-carbon investments, and Decision (EU) 2015/1814 as regards the establishment of the Modernisation Fund and Decision 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 concerning the establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme and amending Directive 2003/87/EC) will significantly affect the framework for the operation of entities covered by the EU ETS in Phase IV, that is in 2021–2030. The most important mechanisms within the EU ETS, which contribute to a decreased supply in the EU ETS market, is the linear reduction factor increased from the current 1.74% to 2.2% starting from 2021 and the market stability reserve functioning since the beginning of 2019.

In turn, the increased demand for EUAs is largely affected by announced and scheduled legislative initiatives of European Union institutions pursuing the objectives of the "European Green Deal" announced in 2019.

Accordingly, the European Commission announced that it was working on the preparation of a broad package of legislative proposals under the name of "Fit for 55", which it published on 14 July 2021. Detailed information on the package is provided in section 8.10. In this context, a strong upward trend in the quotations of greenhouse gas emission allowances has been observed since November 2020, continuing also until the end of Q2 2021.

8.9. Electromobility and Alternative Fuels Act

The Electromobility and Alternative Fuels Act of 11 January 2018 requires distribution system operators to build publicly accessible charging points for electric vehicles in the areas of their operation installed in generally accessible charging stations. In the area of operation of ENEA Operator, this obligation involves the construction of 417 charging points located in publicly available charging stations in 4 urban areas: Poznań, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz and Gorzów Wielkopolski. This number is the difference between the minimum number of publicly available charging points, which according to the Act should be built in the territory of the said four townships by 31 March 2021, and the existing and planned number of such points to be built by private investors. For this reason, ENEA Operator is currently carrying out a project entitled "Implementation of ENEA Operator's statutory obligations related to electromobility under the Electromobility and Alternative Fuels Act". Currently, the parliament is working on a bill amending the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels and certain other acts, implementing Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council into the Polish legal system. The legislator intends to phase out the so-called intervention mechanism to account for the content of the above Directive, according to which DSOs may not own, create, operate or manage electric vehicle charging points, except for private charging points exclusively for their own use.

8.10. European Green Deal and "Fit for 55" Package

European Green Deal

One of the priorities of the European Commission 2019-2024 is the so-called European Green Deal, which is an action plan for sustainable EU economy, which is supposed to materialize Europe's aspiration for becoming the first climate-neutral continent. To this end, numerous legislative initiatives are taken and planned for subsequent years.

  • In December 2019, the European Council adopted the climate neutrality objective for the entire European Union (any greenhouse gas emissions must be totally compensated by their increased removal) by 2050.
  • On 21 April 2021, the European Parliament and representatives of the Council of the European Union reached an agreement on the regulation related to the so-called European Climate Law. The draft regulation was adopted by the European Parliament on 24 June 2021 and by the EU Council on 28 June 2021 and then it will be published in the Official Journal of the EU. The key assumptions of the regulation included:

  • The European Union as a whole (rather than each Member State) commits to achieving climate neutrality by 2050;

  • also for the Union as a whole, a target was set to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels (under current regulations, the Union's emission reduction target for 2030 is 40%);

  • the commitment to raise the ambition of carbon sink while limiting the amount of absorbed emissions that can count towards the emission reduction target, meaning that the actual reduction target for 2030 will be 57%;

  • in relevant cases, the EC may set an additional intermediate emission reduction target for 2040, no later than within 6 months of the first global review carried out under the Paris Agreement, which will have to take into account the projected 'greenhouse gas budget' for 2030-2050, i.e. the maximum Union emissions during the period 2030-2050 that will not jeopardize the achievement of the EU's commitments under the Paris Agreement;

  • the Union has been obligated to achieve negative emissions after 2050;

  • new legislative proposals will be reviewed in terms of compliance with the climate neutrality objective; the absence of such compliance will have to be expressly indicated in the draft proposal.
  • The implementation of the European Green Deal involves the necessity to revise a large set of currently applicable EU regulations and introduce many new ones. Accordingly, on 14 July 2021, the European Commission published a broad package of legislative proposals under the name of "Fit for 55". The package will include the following documents and propose the following changes:

  • revision of Directive 2003/87/EC establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading, in which the main amendments will introduce:

  • extension of EU ETS to new sectors: shipping and construction;

  • an increase in the level of the linear reduction factor (LRF) in the year following the effective date of the document's revision, further strengthened by the introduction of a one-off reset of emission allowances;
  • preventing the financing of investments in fossil fuels (gas) from the Modernization Fund;
  • Member States will have to use 100% of their revenues from sales of emission allowances for investments supporting emission reductions; until then, 50% of the funds were earmarked for this purpose;
  • receipt of free allowances will depend on the requirement of conducting an energy audit and implementing its requirements;

  • revision of Directive 2018/2001/EU on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, in which the main amendments will introduce:

  • an increase of the overall target for the heating industry and the target for the district heating industry. The proposal put forward by the European Commission is related to the definition of "efficient heating systems" in accordance with the draft EED directive;

  • an increased annual RES consumption target in the district heating and cooling industry, by 1.1% until 2030;

  • revision of directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, with the following key amendments:

• a change of the definition of efficient heating and cooling systems by introducing progressively changeable minimum conditions that an installation must satisfy to be classified as efficient;

  • revision of the Directive on taxation of energy products and electricity, with the following main amendments:

  • the Commission proposes that the presented amendments come into effect as of 1 January 2023.

  • maintaining the option of applying tax credits and reduced tax rates for RES electricity.
  • maintaining the option of applying tax credits and reduced tax rates for electricity produced in cogeneration, meeting the definition of high-efficiency cogeneration under the EED.

  • The presented proposal of minimal taxation rates for heating fuels is as follows: for natural gas and non-sustainable biogas: initially EUR 0.6 per GJ in 2023 and ultimately EUR 0.9 per GJ in 2033; for coal EUR 0.9 per GJ from 2023; for sustainable biogas: EUR 0.45 per GJ from 2023, for unsustainable forest biomass EUR 0.9 per GJ from 2023; and for sustainable forest biomass EUR 0.45 per GJ from 2023;
  • The presented proposal of the minimum tax rate for electricity is EUR 0.15 per GJ from 2023.

  • implementation of new reduction targets by adapting the Regulation on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals resulting from activities related to land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF).

Up to 50 EU legal acts could be affected by the changes by the end of 2022 to ensure they are consistent with the objectives adopted in the Climate Law Regulation.

8.11. Operating Capacity Reserve (OCR)

Detailed information on the Operating Reserve Mechanism is provided in Chapter 10 of the "Management Board Report on the Activity of ENEA S.A. and the ENEA Group in 2020" and, as at the preparation date of this report, it remains valid.

8.12. Number of customers exercising their right to change the seller

As at the end of H1 2021, the number of business customers (tariff groups A, B, C) which changed their electricity seller was 221.5 thousand, having increased by nearly 5 thousand (or 2.3%) from the end of 2020. As regards customers in the household segment (Tariff Group G), the number was 707.4 thousand, up 17 thousand, or 2.5%, from the end of 2020. The above data show that the rate of seller switches in 2021 is low, remaining at a level similar to that of the corresponding period of the previous year.

8.13. Concessions

Energy groups operate in the Polish energy market on the basis of the concessions granted to them. Considering the medium and long-term validity of the individual concessions, detailed information of the concessions held by each company from the ENEA Group is presented in annual reports.

8.14. Exemption from the duty to submit household electricity tariffs for approval

Pursuant to Article 49 of the Energy Law, the ERO President may exempt a utility company from the duty to submit tariffs for approval if the ERO President considers the company to operate in a competitive environment. A possible exemption from the duty to submit tariffs for approval may have a favorable impact on the electricity sales margin of ENEA S.A. in the future. The regulatory model, in which tariffs must be submitted to the ERO President for approval, remains in effect in the current legal status. The administrative procedure is performed in the last quarter of the year preceding the introduction of the new tariff G based on the guidelines of the ERO President regarding the calculation of prices transferring justified costs while taking into account the model unit profit.

8.15. Significant trends in the Distribution Area

Provisions of the European law, in particular the energy package named Clean Energy for All Europeans, have an increasing impact on the functioning of ENEA Operator. These include Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity and Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU. These regulations contribute to the achievement of the EU's goals of achieving a more competitive, secure and sustainable energy system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Commitments in this respect provide for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% compared to 1990 levels while increasing energy efficiency by 32.5% and increasing the share of energy generation from renewable sources to 32% of final consumption. A consequence of the pursuit of these commitments will be a steady, as has already been observed, increase in installed capacity from renewable energy sources, which has created room for new energy market participants, led to a change in the manner of the power grid management and changed the roles of existing participants, including DSOs.

This effect will be strengthened by "Fit for 55", a legislative package on climate and energy announced by the European Commission on July 14, which includes, among others, proposals for further reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and, which is particularly important from the DSO point of view, a revision of the RED II directive, which features the assumption that the share of RES in electricity consumption would rise to 40% in 2030, or a revision of the energy efficiency directive. All the member states will have to contribute to the achievement of these goals. The package will now be negotiated between the EU bodies and its member states and will then be subject to approval by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. It is estimated that the new legal solutions will come into effect in 2024.

The rapid development of distributed energy sources combined with new technologies, including ICT technologies, has had a significant impact on the distribution network, while shaping the new role of DSOs on the energy market. New challenges in this area for ENEA Operator include: the new role of DSOs as entities supporting market development (local markets in particular), tapping into the flexibility of distributed energy sources, data management, cooperation with TSOs/DSOs, new IT and ICT technologies, development of smart grids, activation of customers, emergence of energy communities (energy clusters and cooperatives), cyber security and development of research and development and innovation activities.

The main consequence of changes on the energy market will be the gradual decline in the volume of energy distributed through DSO's grids. On the other hand, the quantity of energy produced by end users for their own needs, especially by prosumers, will increase. The changing model of the energy market and the consequences for its current players, such as distribution system operators, will also require transformation of the current regulatory model.

The changes transpiring on the energy market force the market players to implement numerous innovative solutions. ENEA Operator is following the same path. For this reason, ENEA Operator adopted a framework enabling external entities to suggest and jointly execute various pilot and innovative projects with the Company. The pursuit of such initiatives will provide the opportunity to jointly develop or test new innovative technical and technological solutions in real-life conditions.

8.16. SO GL grid code in ENEA Operator's business

Since 1 January 2021, RES producers from across Poland have been bound by new laws concerning the sending of data about electricity produced and fed into the power grid, following from the System Operation Guideline (SO GL) for the operation of the electricity transmission system. The process of sending of the information obtained from producers to PSE is achieved via distribution system operators, with ENEA Operator being one of them. The company's experts decided to share their knowledge and experience to make it easier for undertakings producing electricity from renewable sources to adapt to the new obligations already at the very beginning of their application. A webinar was prepared for generators to clarify the purpose of the Guideline and the manner of complying with it. On the Company's website, the tab https://www.operator.enea.pl/dlawytworcow contains, among others, templates of forms for entering the data arising from SO GL. ENEA Operator's experts also respond to questions and doubts of RES producers under the dedicated email address: [email protected]. Work is currently underway to launch a Generator Portal to facilitate and automate data submission according to SO GL.

8.17. ENEA Operator's Distribution System User Nondiscriminatory Treatment Assurance Program

During the reporting period, the Company complied with the provisions of the Compliance Program – ENEA Operator's Distribution System User Nondiscriminatory Treatment Assurance Program (hereinafter referred to as "Compliance Program") to fulfill the obligation arising from Article 9d sec. 4 of the Energy Law. Projects undertaken and executed by ENEA Operator as part of the Compliance Program during the reporting period gave the system users and the potential system users an equal access to the distribution system and enabled them to use the electricity distribution services on equal rules.

8.18. Quality regulation model

The key component affecting ENEA Operator's activity is the quality regulation introduced by the ERO President. At present, its rules are specified in the "Quality Regulation in 2018-2025 for Distribution System Operators" in its wording of 29 May 2019.

On 7 October 2019, the ERO President set ENEA Operator's settlement objectives for the 2018-2025 period. Accordingly, the following indicators for 2018-2025 directly affect ENEA Operator's regulated revenue in the part concerning return on capital: interruption duration indicator (CTP) and interruption frequency indicator (CP) in the area of large cities, towns with county rights, towns and villages.

8.19. Membership of ENEA Operator in international organizations

ENEA Operator is involved in international cooperation with electricity market entities. In particular, this cooperation involves such European organizations and entities as EDSO and the EU DSO Entity established under Directive 2019/944. Within the framework of this cooperation, events of a technological and legislative nature are monitored across Europe on an ongoing basis. Moreover, proposals for changes in and development of the electricity distribution market are presented and deployed in consideration of the outlook and specific features of the Polish market.

8.20. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC) is a legal act of the European Union, which has been in effect in all member states since 25 May 2018. New rules have been introduced for processing personal data and new obligations imposed on data controllers. In its business, the ENEA Group observes the requirements of the indicated regulations, also by ensuring an appropriate level of security of personal data processing, paying particular attention to the protection of the rights and freedoms of data subjects. Pursuant to Article 37 of GDPR, ENEA Group companies appointed Data Protection Officers, who discuss important matters concerning personal data protection in the ENEA Group.

8.21. Court and administrative proceedings

As at the date of this report, there are no pending proceedings regarding payables or receivables to which ENEA S.A. or any of its subsidiaries would be a party.

A detailed description of the proceedings is provided in Note 25 to the "Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the ENEA Group for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2021".

8.22. Litigation related to actions for annulment or revocation of resolutions of the general meeting

2) concerns Resolution Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 11 of the Ordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. of 30 July 2020 to grant a discharge to individual former Members of the Company's Management Board on the performance of their duties in 2019.

8.23. Rules for the preparation of financial statements

The condensed financial statements of ENEA S.A. and the ENEA Group included in the extended consolidated report of ENEA S.A. for H1 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as endorsed by the European Union.

These condensed financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that the Company will continue its business activity as a going concern in the foreseeable future. The Company's Management Board has not ascertained, as at the date of signing the condensed financial statements, any facts or circumstances that would indicate a threat to the Company's ability to continue its business activity as a going concern over the 12 months following the balance sheet date as a result of an intentional or induced discontinuation or a material curtailment of its existing activity. Unless indicated otherwise, the financial data presented in the statements are denominated in PLN thousand.

8.24. Collective disputes

As at the date of publication of this report, no collective disputes are in progress.

8.25. Headcount

As at 30 June 2021, the headcount in ENEA Group companies included 17,523 employees with employment contracts. As at 30 June 2021, the headcount in ENEA S.A. was 417 employees with employment contracts.

These figures, broken down by operating segments, are as follows:

Distribution: 5,419; Trading: 522; Mining: 5,809; Generation: 4,001; Other: 1,772.

8.26. Financial result forecasts

The ENEA S.A. Management Board did not publish any financial result forecasts for 2021.

8.27. Rating

As at the date of this report, the Issuer has a rating score awarded by Fitch Ratings. This rating was expressed in the communication of 19 March 2020, in which the agency affirmed ENEA S.A.'s long-term foreign- and local-currency issuer default ratings at 'BBB' with a stable outlook. The affirmation reflects ENEA S.A.'s business profile as an integrated utility with large electricity generation and distribution businesses, and moderate financial leverage. The ENEA S.A.'s ratings are supported by a high market share in terms of results of regulated and quasi-regulated activity – from electricity distribution and capacity market payments, respectively. The main risk factors are close-to-full reliance on coal in electricity generation as well as exposure to higher-risk mining and supply divisions.

8.28. Amendments resulting from COVID-19

In connection with the state of coronavirus pandemic existing in Poland, anti-crisis shield programs have been introduced, which also covered the energy sector. Detailed information on the changes introduced by Shields 1.0 through 6.0 are described is provided in Chapter 10 of the "Management Board Report on the Activity of ENEA S.A. and the ENEA Group in 2020". In H1 2021, Shields 7.0 and 8.0 entered into force. Their provisions did not affect the area covered by ENEA S.A.'s licensed business.

8.29. Impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the activity of the ENEA Group

Since 20 March 2020, the state of epidemic caused by SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus is in force in Poland. The occurrence and effects of the virus as well as the consequences of countermeasures taken by the state to restrict the pandemic have had a significant impact on the condition of the Polish economy. This situation has also affected the Group's business:

▪ in the Mining Segment, an increased demand for coal was recorded (by approx. 30% compared to the corresponding period of 2020).

▪ in the Trading Segment, in H1 2021, the total sales volume of electricity increased by 1,500 GWh, or 15.3%, compared to the corresponding period of 2020. The sales volume of gaseous fuel also increased compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, by 171 GWh, or 25.1%. In H1 2021, revenue from sales of electricity and gas increased by PLN 410 million, or 13%, compared to the corresponding period of 2020. This increase affected revenues in both the business customer segment and in the household segment.

▪ in the Generation Segment, production of electricity in H1 2021 is higher by approx. 16% compared to the corresponding period of 2020. This translates into an increase in revenues of this segment (by approx. 9% compared to the corresponding period of 2020).

▪ in the Distribution Segment, in H1 2021, the Group observed an increase in sales of distribution services to end users by 7% as compared to the same period of the previous year, driven chiefly by an increase in sales in Tariff Groups B and G.

▪ since the pandemic started, the Company has made additional analyses of the possible impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of allowances for receivables. The effect of the analyses is a review of the allowance for the expected losses. The level of the additional allowance – since the analyses began – has been insignificant from the reporting point of view. Nevertheless, the Group believes that if the restrictions related to the prevention of the COVID-19 epidemic effects are maintained and thus business activity continues to be limited, it is quite possible that the receivables turnover ratio will deteriorate as a result of the reduced payment capacity of electricity buyers.

▪ in connection with the reorganization of work, increased security measures caused by the state of epidemic and temporary unavailability of contractors, the Group has identified the risk of delaying the completion dates of scheduled overhauls and modernizations of the generation units, including those concerning BAT conclusions. The risk materialization consequences will be limited in time and conditioned, among others, on the current market situation.

As at the date of this report, it is difficult to predict how the situation will develop in 2021 and what further negative effects it may exert on the operations and financial standing of the Parent Company and the Group. Further spread of the virus, after all, may cause additional restrictions and a decline in business activity (at present, numerous restrictions affect the business of such entities as hotels, restaurants, cafes, shopping centers). Also, a significantly increased number of infectees in the Group would potentially affect the risks related to business continuity of Group companies as business interruptions, if any, could adversely affect revenue from sales. The Group, however, takes preventive measures to mitigate such risks.

The ENEA S.A. Management Board has established the ENEA Group Crisis Management and Coordination Center. All Group companies have appointed Teams to coordinate continuity assurance tasks for ENEA Group companies in the context of the coronavirus threat. The ENEA S.A. Management Board coordinates all the activities in this respect acting through the Center. The Crisis Center and the Teams take actions to protect the health of employees by providing personal protective equipment (including masks, antibacterial gel, gloves), implementing safe working principles (including remote working being introduced where possible, limiting direct meetings in workplaces, disinfecting rooms, introducing limits on numbers of employees in rooms, maintaining safe distances between employees). The precautions taken to prevent coronavirus infections have translated into shifts in operating expenses, which, along with changes in the level of revenues, ultimately affects the Group's consolidated financial result.

In H1 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have such a strong impact on the activity of LWB as in 2020. In addition, due to intensified work of the teams and optimizing the longwall run arrangement and schedule in the period of increased demand for coal, it was possible to achieve very good production results, which translated into the financial result in H1 2021.

Considering, though, all the time the risks caused by COVID-19, LWB continues to apply appropriate measures and security mechanisms to protect it against the adverse consequences of COVID-19 on the company's operations and results. These measures include, in particular, personal protective equipment, keeping a distance, appropriate work organization and the use of shift work and remote working where possible, as well as appropriate technical measures to facilitate prevention of disease.

As at the date of these report, the Group has not identified any risk regarding its capacity to continue as a going concern.

8.30. Termination/rescission of property right purchase agreements by ENEA S.A.

On 28 October 2016, ENEA S.A. made a statement of termination or rescission of long-term property right purchase agreements resulting from the certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources (the so-called green certificates). These agreements were dissolved. The reason for the Company's termination/rescission of the individual agreements was exhaustion of all possibilities of restoring contract balance and equivalence of the parties' performances resulting from amendments to the law. The financial consequences of dissolving the abovementioned agreements will be the avoidance by the Company of the loss being the balance of the contractual prices and the market price of green certificates. At present, three cases are pending before the Regional Court in Poznań for declaring ineffectiveness of termination (rescission) by ENEA S.A. of property right sale agreements. In addition, some proceedings are pending against ENEA S.A. for payment of the fee for property rights resulting from the deduction of payment for the damage caused to ENEA S.A. through the contracting parties' non-fulfillment of their contractual obligation to participate, in good faith, in renegotiating the long-term property right sale agreements pursuant to the adaptation clause binding on the parties. The estimate total net value of ENEA S.A.'s contractual liabilities was approx. PLN 1,187 million.

8.31. Analyses for the Power Plant consisting of a coal gasification system and a combined cycle power unit (IGCC plant) in the Łęczna township

In April 2020, ENEA Badania i Rozwój (EBiR) filed an application with the Łęczna Township to issue an environmental conditions decision (DUŚ) for a power plant project using the integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC Project) technology in the Łęczna township. The application was accompanied by an environmental impact report, which is one of the many concept research and development documents for the IGCC Project. The decision to implement the investment project is conditional upon the progress of the analyses carried out by the ENEA Group, while taking into account the changing market and regulatory environment. In August 2020, due to the information about the expected changes in the energy group operation concept announced by the Ministry of State Assets, and in particular due to the plans to separate coal assets from the energy group structures, it was recommended to withhold the expenditure for the implementation of the IGCC Project until the program for coal assets is formed. By the notice of 22 September 2020, the Mayor of Łęczna suspended the proceeding on obtaining the DUŚ for the IGCC Project at the request of EBiR.

8.32. Analyses of the transmission and collection of gaseous fuel from the transmission network by ENEA Wytwarzanie

On 11 February 2020, ENEA Wytwarzanie and GAZ-SYSTEM signed an agreement to design the connection of Kozienice Power Plant to the GAZ-SYSTEM transmission network and obtain all necessary administrative permits. The agreement will open the process of designing a gas service connection for the Kozienice Power Plant. Expansion of the transmission system by GAZ-SYSTEM will increase its capacity to supply higher volumes of natural gas throughout Poland. This will increase the capacity for connecting industrial plants as well as individual customers to the network.

In ENEA Wytwarzanie, conceptual work on the selection of technological solutions and economic analyses for the "Restoration of generation capacity of 200 MW coal-fired units in ENEA Wytwarzanie based on the gaseous fuel combustion technology" has been completed. Corporate approvals have been obtained to launch Stage 1, which entails pre-investment work, i.e. development of ToR, including a model contract and update of the project's financial model (including an audit of the financial model). The work on this stage is under way.

8.33. Participation in the nuclear power plant construction program

On 26 March 2021, an agreement was executed between ENEA, PGE, TAURON and KGHM on the one side and the State Treasury on the other side for the acquisition by the State Treasury of a 100% stake in PGE EJ1. Under the provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement, the title to PGE EJ1 shares was transferred on 31 March 2021. ENEA sold to the State Treasury 532,523 shares in PGE EJ1, representing 10% of the share capital and carrying the right to 10% of votes at the general meeting of PGE EJ1. The purchase price for the 100% equity stake was PLN 531,362 thousand, of which PLN 53,136 was payable to ENEA. The purchase price will be subject to adjustment based on the valuation of PGE EJ1 updated as at the transaction closing date. In ENEA S.A.'s opinion, such adjustment, if any, will not have a significant impact on the final purchase price.

Moreover, on 26 March 2021, the Shareholders and PGE EJ1 executed an Annex to the Agreement of 15 April 2015 regarding a dispute between PGE EJ1 and the WorleyParsons consortium. Under the Annex, the amount of the Shareholders' liability towards PGE EJ1 arising from the Agreement for the outcome of the dispute with the WorleyParsons consortium was limited, and in the event of the settlement of the dispute in favor of PGE EJ1, the Shareholders will be entitled to pertinent benefits from PGE EJ1.

8.41. Reduction of pollutant emissions

In accordance with the applicable EU regulations, in particular Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions – IED (integrated pollution prevention and control), new and more stringent environmental protection standards have been in force since 1 January 2016. Accordingly, all electricity generators in Poland, who predominantly use high-emission coal-firing technologies, were required to adapt their power units to the new environmental requirements. The law, with a view to accommodating some of the problems faced by commercial undertakings, has provided for the possibility of using certain derogation mechanisms. The relaxation of certain IED requirements by way of derogation has permitted commercial undertakings to gain additional time to adapt their generating units to the stricter air emissions standards. On 17 August 2017, the so-called BAT conclusions (kBAT) for large combustion plants (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 of 31 July 2017 laying down 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 BAT conclusions have introduced more stringent (than in the IED Directive) requirements for pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust. The BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) also apply to other substances, such as: mercury, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia. The BAT conclusions came into force on 18 August 2021, following the 4-year adjustment period.

8.42. Compliance with formal and legal requirements

ENEA Wytwarzanie

On 30 June 2020, the Kozienice Power Plant terminated its participation in the Transitional National Plan (PPK) and, as of 1 July 2020, complies with the emission standards pursuant to provisions of the IED. At the same time, the Power Plant is performing a program for adjusting the installations to the BAT conclusions, which came into force on 18 August 2021.

Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Climate of 24 September 2020 on emission standards for certain installation types, fuel combustion sources and waste combustion or co-combustion installations (Journal of Laws of 2020, Item 1860), in relation to the installations of units 1-10 and the installation of unit 11 for emissions of all pollutants, the following conditions for deeming the emissions standards complied with apply:

  • a) none of the approved average monthly concentrations of substances exceeds 100% of the emission standard,
  • b) none of the approved average daily concentrations of substances exceeds 110% of the emission standard,
  • c) 95% of all approved average hourly concentrations of substances during the calendar year does not exceed 200% of the emission standard.

If even one of the conditions specified in items a), b), c) is not met, there is a risk that a penalty will be imposed for each hourly exceedance counted from the beginning of the year.

In H1 2021, no exceedance of the emission standards and other formal and legal requirements was found.

Kozienice Power Plant meets the objectives set by the national and community law (IED directive, BAT conclusion). The Power Plant operates five flue gas desulfurization (FDG) installations, which guarantee the required reduction of SO2 emissions from flue gases of all units. All units of the Power Plant are equipped with highly efficient electrostatic precipitators, which are upgraded on an ongoing basis in order to maintain high dust removal efficiency. All units (excluding unit 3) are also equipped with selective catalytic NOx reduction (SCR) installations.

ENEA Ciepło

As part of the "Zachód" Heat Plant installation, ENEA Ciepło takes advantage of the heat derogation arising from the IED as regards SO2, dust and NOx emissions.

In the period of validity of the heat derogation, i.e. from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2022, emission standards as at 31 December 2015 are applicable.

ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec

ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. takes advantage of the derogation arising from the IED – natural derogation of 17,500 hours covering boiler 1.

In H1 2021, a total of 1,307 hours were utilized from the available limit. 2,621 hours remain to be utilized.

9. CSR – Corporate social responsibility

1. Fight against COVID-19:

Up until now, the ENEA Group spent more than PLN 6.2 million on support for medical centers and aid institutions that were involved in combating the pandemic. The amount was provided to 43 hospitals and other treatment facilities across Poland. In H1 2021, the Foundation donated PLN 1.9 million for combating COVID-19 and for rehabilitation of coronavirus patients. The ENEA Foundation will carry out aid activities in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of State Assets.

2. ENEA for Generations. Together about Safety

Out of concern for the health and safety of senior citizens during the pandemic, we launched a free TeleRada (TeleAdvice) hotline under the project "ENEA for Generations. Together about Safety". 5 days a week, within specific hours, experts in selected areas are available to offer their services: a dietitian, a lawyer, a social worker, a consumer ombudsman, a physician and a pharmacist. The project also aims to educate, raise consumer awareness and support fire protection in households of our customers and in local communities. Due to safety concerns, in order to ensure good health of all participants, direct meetings have been replaced with webinars devoted to the health and safety of senior citizens. Special materials have been developed to help senior citizens and their families learn how to navigate safely in the jungle of commercial contracts, how to behave during a meeting with a visiting sales representative, what tricks are used by dishonest sales people or how to secure one's house against fire.

3. From Greater Poland to Independent Poland. The youth speaks about 27 December 1918 – a historical education project

ENEA S.A. is working with the Educational Project Society Foundation to implement a historical and educational project about the Greater Poland Uprising (Powstanie Wielkopolskie), implementing the quality education goal of the Sustainable Development Goals. The following materials have been developed as part of the project: a multimedia lesson for the youth in grades 7 and 8 of 120 elementary schools, materials and teaching aids necessary to present the lesson: a textbook for students, a methodology teacher pack, a website dedicated to the campaign at https://1918pamietamy.enea.pl, two historical education conferences have been organized, and a large-format exhibition for schools has been prepared. In autumn, there will be a contest with prizes testing the knowledge provided during the lessons about the Uprising. The goal of the project is to spread knowledge and educate the young generation about the Greater Poland Uprising and its significance for building the independence of Poland as well as integration of the local community from ENEA's area of operation around important historical events – building the sense of community and patriotism.

4. Exempt From theory Nationwide Contest

For the second time, the ENEA Group became one of the partners of the nationwide contest for students called "Exempt From theory" as part of the "Energy in Education" path supported by the ENEA Group. In this year's edition, the path sponsored by ENEA attracted 315 participants, who implemented 33 projects, supporting 752 thousand beneficiaries. The projects supported by ENEA included, among others, ideas from the area of environmental protection and conscious consumption, a project supporting the unemployed on the education and labor market, educational activities relating to mental disorders and the fight against obesity and excess weight, or initiatives in the area of health prevention. The representatives of ENEA sat on the jury and took part in meetings with students and last-year high-school students telling them about their work for the ENEA Group. Additionally, a workshop covering knowledge of the social media was delivered in the ENEA's path. Overall, more than 3,800 people participated in the contest, which implemented nearly 750 projects.

5. #Ogarnijhejt Campaign

As part of the Year of Lem established by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, the ENEA Group became a partner of the Ogarnij Hejt [Know about Hate] campaign and activities carried out as part of the Year of Lem activities. Until the end of June, schools were registering for participation in educational activities. Starting in September, free cyberbullying awareness and cyber security classes will be delivered for students, teachers and parents in 30 elementary schools in the ENEA Group's area of activity. A workshop for employees was also held, teaching how to prevent cyberbullying that may affect their loved ones. On 10-15 September, the Technology Congress will be held with the participation of ENEA Group representatives.

6. "ENEA for Women" social campaign providing information about the negative effects of the pandemic especially among women

On the occasion of Women's Day, 8 March, we broadcast a premiere concert of Kasia Stankiewicz and Varius Manx in our Group's social media for all our employees, especially women. The concert launched a social campaign aimed at mitigating the negative emotional effects caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the support of the ENEA Foundation and the organized collection, from 8 to 31 March 2021, women were able to take advantage of remote psychological care free of charge. 51 women used the aid, and psychologists provided 68 hours of support. The social campaign was organized in cooperation with the Development Ladder Foundation.

7. Mission: prevention. Health begins in your head

The ENEA Foundation has become the partner of the 13th edition of the campaign entitled "Faces of depression. I don't judge. I accept" to be launched on 1 October. As part of the campaign, through the financial involvement of the ENEA Foundation, the "Faces of depression" Foundation will provide free remote psychological assistance for those who need it in the area of operation of the ENEA Group for nearly 100 days. The project also included prophylactic activities for employees, including a webinar on the

treatment of depression, a meeting with a psychologist and actor Piotr Zelt, who suffers from depression, and stress management workshops attended by more than 230 ENEA Group employees.

8. "Koncerty nad Rusałką" Project

The ENEA Group has supported the Polish young musical scene during the pandemic, becoming the main partner of Koncerty nad Rusałką event. The project included 25 concerts of the young musical scene, including outdoor concerts activating people with disabilities thanks to the installation of an induction loop transmitting music for hearing-impaired people.

9. Pro-environmental campaign for ENEA's customers

The project entitled "Together for Bees" has been developed as an inspiration for ENEA customers to create "city canteens" for bees by sowing nectar-rich flowers together. As part of the project, seeds of nectar-rich flowers were prepared and supplied to ENEA Branches in the form of a leaflet (a biodegradable leaflet in the spirit of the "zero waste" concept). The goal of the campaign was to spread knowledge and educate ENEA's customers and employees about the importance of bees in our everyday life, to create sensitivity to the issues of protection of biodiversity, to engage ENEA's customers in a pro-environmental action and to sow nano-meadows together.

10. "Help animals survive through winter" action

ENEA also engages in activities focused on education about nature and environmental protection. In February, the ENEA Foundation invited schools to the campaign entitled "Help animals survive through winter". As part of the activities, pupils learned how to protect and help feathered creatures in frosty weather and bird feeders were delivered to thirty schools, with nearly one ton of bird feed. Each school was also provided with educational materials and instruction for feeding birds. Schools in Poznań, Staszów, Zielona Góra, Połaniec, Piła and Szczecin, attended by the children of our employees or their relatives, also signed up for the campaign.

11. Help with passion

ENEA performed a campaign for employees of the ENEA Group within the Polish nationwide initiative "Pomagaj z pasją" ["Help with passion"], whose originator was the Pro NGO Foundation. The idea of the campaign was for employees to create works of art, such as paintings, photographs or handicraft products, which would eventually be put up for a charitable auction to support selected Polish non-governmental organizations.

The six best works by our employees were nominated to the next stage of the contest held by the Pro NGO Foundation, out of which five reached the final stage at which the jury of the contest selected the best works in each category. The results of the contest were announced on 28 April 2021.

12. The final of the "Run–Raise–Help" program – grants

"Biegamy–Zbieramy–Pomagamy" ['Run–Raise–Help'] is one of the most important social responsibility programs initiated by the ENEA Foundation, encouraging ENEA Group employees who are passionate about sport to help others. Every year, hundreds of people participate in sports competitions – running, triathlon, cycling and Nordic walking – collecting points to be converted into Polish zloty. Due to cash collected in this way, the ENEA Foundation organizes sports events for children and youth. In 2021, due to exceptional circumstances caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the ENEA Foundation resolved to earmark funds collected by employees in 2019 and 2020 for grants of PLN 5,000 each to Youth Sports Clubs whose members include young athletes with disabilities. Clubs from the areas where ENEA Group companies operate could apply for the grants. The grants were awarded to two sports clubs in Inowrocław and Gorzów Wielkopolski. Since the beginning of the "Run – Raise – Help" program, at 1,122 competitions, a total amount of PLN 148 thousand was collected. The cash was earmarked for development of children and youth through sports.

13. Shoebox

For the fourth time already, the ENEA Group joined the Shoebox campaign by encouraging people to donate their unused cosmetics for individuals who have found themselves in a difficult life situation. The name of the campaign comes from shoeboxes in which cosmetics are collected. Cosmetics were collected in seven cities: Poznań, Bydgoszcz, Piła, Szczecin, Połaniec, Kozienice and Gorzów Wielkopolski. This year, cosmetics weighing 118 kilograms were collected in the Group!

10. Non-financial reporting

Responsible management practices – publication of the Group's first ESG report for 2020

The non-financial reporting process for 2020, which commenced in the ENEA Group by publication of the "Non-Financial Statement of ENEA Group" in March 2021 as a separate but also integral part of the annual "Management Board Report on the activity of ENEA S.A. and the ENEA Group in 2020", was continued in May 2021, when the first ESG Report of the ENEA Group was presented online and which is currently available athttps://raportesg2020.csr.enea.pl/

The publication summarizes the exceptional pandemic year of 2020 with a breakdown into the environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance areas. Still, ENEA's operating model is invariably based on equal treatment of economic, social and environmental goals. This is why, in the previous 9 years (2011- 2019), the Group's non-financial reports mentioned sustainability/CSR in the title. The change of the approach is aimed

at increasing the effectiveness the non-financial evaluation of enterprises, among others by investors, analysts and independent rating agencies.

In the ESG report we show how ENEA supports the solution of the most critical problems of the modern world by incorporating the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We also present the ENEA Group's approach to managing individual environmental, labor and social issues, the internal policies and procedures in place, and the results of our efforts. We have devoted much space to two universal social issues. The first one concerns activities pursued for the benefit of the public health care system and local communities in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. What is important, they were not limited to financial support only, but also included involvement of our volunteers. The other, equally important topic, is the ENEA Group's contribution to the fight with the global climate crisis; therefore, we present not only the results achieved but also commitments for the future, for example, for transition towards a zero-emission corporation, such as the development of energy production from renewable sources.

The transparency and credibility of the presented information is supported, among others by a detailed description of the risks inherent in the Enea Group's business and a description of how the Group manages them on a daily basis, with an extended analysis of risks resulting from climate change, as well as reliable information on problematic incidents in the work safety area.

The publication has been prepared in accordance with the international GRI reporting standards, while at the same meeting even greater accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1).

ENEA ranked 4th and LW Bogdanka 3rd in the fuel, energy and mining industry category in the 2021 Ranking of Responsible Companies.

In June 2021, the ENEA Group ranked 4th and LW Bogdanka 3rd in the Fuel, energy and mining industry category of the 15th edition of the Ranking of Responsible Companies presented by the Responsible Business Forum and the Kozminski University. Our direct competitors placed further down the ranking list. This confirms the high quality of sustainable development processes conducted within our Group.

Nearly 80 companies took part in the Ranking, with 70 qualified for the main list. Among them, ENEA was 16th and LW Bogdanka 15th overall. In this case, our direct competitors placed further down the list.

ENEA Group was one of the winners of the 11th edition of the CSR Silver Leaf award from the Polityka Weekly

In June 2021, for the fourth time in a row, the ENEA Group won the CSR Silver Leaf presented by the Polityka Weekly in a contest organized by Deloitte, Responsible Business Forum and the Polityka Weekly for the most responsible and socially engaged companies in the sustainable development area in 2020.

ENEA Operator – EBITDA drivers in H1 2021 (up by PLN 7 million):

(+) revenue from sales of distribution services to end users up by PLN 81 million, largely due to a higher volume of distributed energy. The consequences of the pandemic and restrictions in the business sector do not significantly affect total demand for electricity. Moreover, we are constantly observing the impact of end users working from home on the level of demand for electricity in Tariff Groups G

(+) costs of purchasing transmission and distribution services (balance) down by PLN 18 million, in particular as a consequence of a decline in contracted capacity and lower variable and fixed fee rates in settlements with PSE S.A. and neighboring DSO, respectively

(-) revenues from grid connection fees down PLN 64 million as a result of the settlement, in 2020, of a connection which entailed a large connection fee in Connection Group II

(+) costs of purchasing electricity to cover the balancing difference (balance) down by PLN 11 million, chiefly as a result of a decline in wholesale prices with delivery in 2021

(-) higher operating costs by PLN 23 million resulting mainly from higher employee benefit costs, higher costs of third-party services and higher costs of taxes and charges

(-) lower result on other operating activities by PLN 20 million resulting mainly from lower revenue from contractual penalties and indemnities, lower revenues from the removal of collisions and changes in impairment losses offset by remeasurement of provisions for grid assets
