Report of the Management Board on the operation of ENEA Group in H1 2018

1

1. Operating summary

1. OPERATING SUMMARY

1.1 ENEA Group in numbers

  • 6.2 GW of electrical power installed
  • 391 million tonnes extraction potential of 3 licenced areas
  • 122,400 km of distribution lines including connections
  • 16,100 Employees
  • 2.5 million Customers

  • PLN 6,040 million of net sales revenue

  • PLN 1,304 million of EBITDA
  • PLN 462 million of net profit
  • PLN 824.4 million of CAPEX

  • 10.9 million tonnes of own demand for bituminous coal

  • 5.8-6.3 GW of conventional electrical power installed
  • 20.1 TWh of electricity sale
  • EBITDA of PLN 2,939 million until 2025 (a 38% increase on 2015)

In the period under analysis, the Group improved its EBITDA result in two areas of activity. The highest EBITDA, amounting to PLN 580 million, was achieved in the Distribution area, where also its highest growth was recorded. The second highest EBITDA result was recorded in the Generation area, totalling PLN 437 million, with a growth of 2.2% YoY. The increase in the volume of electricity generated did not counterbalance the negative impact of the increase in variable costs in the Generation area. Electricity production was affected by opposite factors – on the one hand, these were the acquisition of Połaniec Power Plant at the end of Q1 2017 and the commissioning of Unit No. 11 at Kozienice Power Plant, while, on the other hand, there were the protracted shutdowns of Units Nos. 9 and 10 at Kozienice Power Plant, also related to the adjustment of generation units to the BAT conclusions. The EBITDA result recorded by the Trading area was down by 72% on the last year, and reached PLN 29 million – it was the effect of an increase in the costs of environmental obligations and in the purchase prices of electricity. The EBITDA result in the Mining area, following a decrease of PLN 48 million YoY, amounted to PLN 274 million – influenced by temporary geological and hydro-technological difficulties experiences in Q1 2018.

1.4. Comment of the ManagementBoard

Dear Madams and Sirs,

We present report on the operations of ENEA Group in the first half of 2018. In this period, we consistently implemented our development strategy,strengthening our position of an innovative resource and energy company.

The Group strenghtens its market position through stable financial situation and growth of operating indicators, including electricity production.. Our financial and operating results have been subject to volatile market conditions and are in line with our forecasts. We recorded a significant increase in generation and sales of electricity to retail customers, as well as an increase in the sales volume of distribution services. Our net profit amounted to PLN 462 million and EBITDA to PLN 1,304 million. The presented results show our potential to generate profit in accordance with the expectations of our shareholders. Our aim is to keep increasing the market share, while at the same time maintaining performance indicators at a high level. Dynamic market and the regulatory environment changes will require to take steps towards operating efficiency improvement in all areas of value chain

In the first half of 2018, prices of CO2 emission allowances fluctuated substantially, reaching the highest level since 2011. Long-term forecasts anticipate further increases in the price of CO2 emission allowances. Energy prices followed the prices of CO2 emission allowances, which dynamically affected ENEA Group's trading area. They were also influenced by the costs of environmental obligations(green certificates) due to higher RES prices.

Since the beginning of 2018, the power exchange obligation of 30% has been in force. The doubling of the obligation, with the prospect of a 100% obligation being introduced in the future, led to a noticeable increase in trading on the power exchange, which gave an impulse to pursue an active trading policy and an effective transformation of the sales model.

In the generation area, ENEA Group is implementing a modernisation programme aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Group's generating units and adapting them to the EU environmental requirements. In the mining area, coal production and sales reached the expected levels, despite temporary geological difficulties at the beginning of the year. In distribution, we implement an extensive investment programme leading to an improvement in the reliability of the network and improving its efficiency and flexibility in responding to the needs of our customers. The trading area, in turn, is focused on developing sales channels and adding new products and services to our commercial offer - ENEA Smart and ENEA Eco. At the same time, we are a socially responsible company that cares for the Clients, workers, local communities and all other stakeholders.

We ensure stable and reliable electricity supply for our clients

Unit no. 11 with a capacity of 1,075 MW in Kozienice Power Plant, launched in December 2017, owing to advanced technological solutions for supercritical parameters, already in its "infancy" achieves high efficiency. This enables it to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in comparison to emissions from the existing hard coal-fired units. In May, the unit underwent its warranty inspection which fully confirmed its high efficiency.

Overall, in the 1st quarter of 2018, the electricity production in the ENEA Group went up by 37 % YoY and amounted to 12.8 TWh in total. This result was achieved by Kozienice and Połaniec power plants, belonging to the Group. In the generation area, we plan another investment project, as a partner of ENERGA, i.e. the construction of a high-efficiency energy unit with a capacity of 1 GW in Ostrołęka C Power Plant, which has reached the stage of obtaining final corporate approvals. Taking into consideration the country's economic growth and increasing demand for electricity, high-efficient and stable unit in Ostrołęka fits in the plan to ensure Energy securit yof the National Power System.

We are constantly working on improving our reliability indices, which is possible thanks to investments in the development of power grids and the expansion and modernization of strategic power substations. In January, ENEA Operator completed a multi-stage reconstruction of the Main Transformer Station, which provides energy supplies to customers in the Kostrzyn-Słubice Special Economic Zone. In accordance with the plan, the Company continues the existing investments and will start new ones in 2018, the commissioning of which will significantly increase the country's energy security.

Production of LW Bogdanka as planned

Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka, which belongs to the ENEA Group, is a stable source of fuel consumed by the power plants of the Group. In accordance with the Development Strategy of the ENEA Capital Group until 2030, the hard coal consumption ratio from the Group's extraction assets for its own needs is projected to be 75 per cent. The yearly extraction plans of LWB at the minimum level of 9 million tonnes will be met, despite the difficult first quarter. This is confirmed by the excellent extraction results in the second quarter and the whole first half of the year. Production of commercial coal in the period from January to June 2018 totalled 4,519 thousand tonnes, and sales amounted to 4,341 thousand tonnes.

For Bogdanka, the first half of the year also witnessed events of importance for the future of the mine, namely the submission of an application for a concession to extract hard coal from "K-6 and K-7" deposit in the region of Lubelszczyzna. The deposit borders directly with the "Puchaczów V" mining area, which is being currently exploited by Bogdanka. The operable resources in the period of validity of the concession, until 2046, are estimated at 66 million tonnes.

In the first half of 2018, the millionth output skip was transported up the shaft (skip is a container for vertical coal transport, containing 40 tonnes of output, or coal before purification, at a time). The mine has also produced the 150-millionth tonne of commercial coal.

Technologies and innovationssignificant for future development

We want to be a company fully utilising the implemented innovation eco-system, employing the best technological solutions, open to new trends in power engineering. One of the initiatives consistently implemented by us is development of electromobility. We implement projects in the field of charging stations for electric vehicles. We enter into subsequent partnership agreements in this area, to develop competence, gain new experience and contribute to meeting the assumptions of the national electromobility programme.

In April, ENEA Serwis and Kolejowe Zakłady Łączności in Bydgoszcz signed an agreement on joint action in support of electromobility development. Moreover, in June, the National Centre for Research and Development and energy companies: ENEA, Energa-Operator, PGE Dystrybucja and Tauron Dystrybucja have signed a letter of intent to bring about the development of an innovative, zero-emission commercial vehicle. The vehicle will be aligned with the needs of the signatories of the letter of intent, so that it can be used, among other things, in the companies' fleets for the performance of daily tasks.

In May, ENEA Operator established cooperation with the University of Zielona Góra. The framework agreement signed provides for analytical and advisory work in the scope of security and reliability of operations of the distribution grid. It is the third university already with which the company entered into such an agreement. This is a further innovation in our power grid, which will concern use of smart metering and energy storage facilities.

Actions in support of local communities, social dialogue

An indispensable element of activity of a large, modern enterprise and an integral part of ENEA Group's philosophy is supporting local communities. We are particularly proud to support initiatives in the field of education. This is our way of promoting the development of skilled staff who will be able to find employment in the future in ENEA Group, which is strongly emphasized by the social side.

In this area, ENEA has developed a project of cooperation between the companies belonging to the Group and vocational education schools and technical schools. Until the end of the year, the Group will start cooperating with 14 educational establishment. These schools stand out as they provide their students with high quality education and skills development in the occupations which are in the highest demand in the companies belonging to ENEA Group.

Stable financial situation, high liquidity and investment potential

The consistent, sustainable development of our Group, the modernisation and the improvement of the efficiency of assets, and interesting trade offer translate into results consistent with our forecasts. In the first half of this year, EBITDA of the Group amounted to PLN 1,304 million, and the net profit reached PLN 462 million.

In the first six months of 2018, ENEA Group generated PLN 1.9 billion net operating cash flows. As at the end of June, the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at a very safe level of 1.8.

These sound financial and operating results are proof of correctly selected directions of development, and the structure of the balance sheet allows ENEA Group to carry out further investment projects in accordance with the adopted strategy. We want to develop this potential by investing not only in advanced conventional power plants or the distribution grid, but also by meeting new challenges and play an important role in the development of electromobility or renewable energy sources.

Yours faithfully, Mirosław Kowalik President of the Management Board of ENEA S.A.

It borders directly with the "Puchaczów V" mining area, which is being currently exploited by Bogdanka. The operable resources covered by the Deposit Management Project in the period of validity of the concession requested by the company, which expires in 2046, are estimated at 66 million tonnes. Then, Bogdanka is planning to apply for the extension of this concession, which would ensure the increase of the level of resources by additional 60-70 million tonnes. The increase of resources by 66 million tonnes would result in the extension of the life of the mine approximately by nine years. The work on the first longwall of the "K-6 and K-7" deposit may commence in 2022 – assuming that the concession will be granted this year.

Implementation of the Investment Agreement with Energa S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka S.A. on the construction and operation of the power unit at Elektrownia Ostrołęka S.A.

On 19 September 2016, ENEA S.A. and Energa S.A. signed the Letter of Intent on commencing cooperation in the field of preparing, implementing, and operating a high-end coal fired 1,000 MW power unit at Elektrownia Ostrołęka (the Investment Project, Ostrołęka C). The Parties' intention is to jointly develop an effective business model for Ostrołęka C, verify its design documentation, and optimise the technical and economic parameters of the new power unit. The cooperation will also involve conducting the tender procedure to choose the general contractor of the Investment Project. In the unanimous opinion of the Parties, the Investment Project implementation will have a positive effect on the power safety of Poland, meet the highest environmental standards, and ensure another stable high efficiency and low-emission source of energy in the National Power System. On 8 December 2016, the Company signed the Investment Agreement on implementation of Ostrołęka C project. The subject matter of the Agreement is the preparation, construction, and operation of the abovementioned power unit. Pursuant to the Agreement, the cooperation will be generally organised in three stages: the Development Stage – until the issue of the notice to proceed for the general contractor; the Construction Stage – until the commissioning of Ostrołęka C for commercial operation; and the Operation Stage – the commercial operation of Ostrołęka C. Following the Development Stage completion, ENEA S.A. is obliged to participate in the Construction Stage, on the assumption that the Project profitability condition is met and that the Project financing does not violate the Company's bank covenants. The condition precedent for the coming into effect of the Investment Agreement was obtaining the consent from the UOKiK President for the concentration through the acquisition of shares in SPV for the Project implementation. The condition was met on 11 January 2017. On 19 December 2016, the SPV announced the tender procedure to choose the general contractor for the construction of Ostrołęka C supercritical power plant of the power capacity of approx. 1,000 MW and net efficiency of at least 45%. If relevant assumptions (including, without limitation, those related to the required participation of ENEA S.A., Energa S.A. and Financial Investors, if any) are met and if the power market or other support mechanism is introduced, Elektrownia Ostrołęka S.A. will be able to accept the order for the comprehensive implementation of this project. Performing the Investment Agreement from 1 February 2017 to 23 March 2018, ENEA S.A. acquired from Energa S.A., in tranches, shares of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. constituting 50% of the share capital in total and amounting to ca. PLN 101 million.

As a result of the above transactions, Energa S.A. and ENEA S.A. took joint control of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Ostrołęka, with an aim of constructing and operating the new coal-fired power unit. Both parties hold 50% of shares of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. each and the equal number of votes at the General Meeting. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board shall include the equal number of representatives of both investors. Decisions concerning significant operations shall require unanimous consent of both shareholders entitled to net assets of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. Taking the above in consideration, the investment was classified as joint venture and is presented in books using the equity method.

In order to ensure adequate financial resources for the company, Energa S.A. and ENEA S.A., pursuant to the agreement of 23 November 2017, granted loans to Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 10 million each, ENEA S.A. and Energa S.A. The loan granted by ENEA S.A. was repaid. As a result of the transformation, on 27 February 2018, the legal form of Elektrownia Ostrołęka was changed from joint-stock company to limited liability company. On 26 March 2018, the Company executed the Annex to the Investment Agreement, under which the parties increased the estimated total investment expenditure resulting from the liabilities to be incurred at the Development Stage of the Ostrołęka C Investment Project, or by the time the notice to proceed is issued to the General Contractor. Investment expenditure to be provided by ENEA S.A. can amount to approx. PLN 226 million. The increase in investment expenditure results from the need of ensuring funds for e.g. organisation works stemming from the contract with the General Contractor, for related investments, and operations of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. As a result of increasing the share capital of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o., on 29 March 2018 ENEA S.A. acquired 350,000 shares in the share capital of the value of PLN 17,500 thousand. On 30 March 2018, ENEA S.A. made a cash contribution to the account of the special purpose vehicle. Energa S.A. acquired 350,000 other shares. The capital increase was registered in the NCR on 30 July 2018.

As a result of another increase in the share capital of Elektrownia Ostrołęka sp. z o.o., on 30 July 2018 ENEA S.A. acquired 2,870,000 shares in the share capital with the value of PLN 143,500,000. On 2 August 2018, ENEA S.A. made a cash contribution to the Company's account. The capital increase is awaiting registration in the National Court Register. After the registration of the increase, the share of ENEA S.A. in the share capital of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. will not change and will still amount to 50% as the new shares in the increased share capital were taken up by ENEA S.A. and Energa S.A. proportionally to the shares held, i.e. in the ratio of 50:50.

On 4 April 2018, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. completed the public procurement procedure titled "Construction of Elektrownia Ostrołęka C with the capacity of approx. 1000 MW" by selecting the Consortium of GE Power Sp. z o.o. and Alstom Power System S.A.S as General Contractor who offered to deliver the subject of the Contract ensuring parameters specified in the offer for a net amount of PLN 5,049,729 thousand (PLN 6,023,035 thousand gross).

The settlement of the procedure is not tantamount to:

  • granting consent to enter into a contract with the General Contractor in order to grant such a consent, a prior consent of the Supervisory Board of the Issuer is necessary;
  • notice to proceed issuing of the NTP requires, among other things, a prior consent of the Supervisory Board of the Issuer and a prior in-principle consent given by the General Meeting of the Issuer to proceed to the Construction Stage.

It is estimated that capital expenditure related to the conclusion of the agreement between the Contracting Party and the General Contractor will not exceed the equivalent of 4% of the contract price until the date of NTP issuance. On 6 July 2018, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. granted its consent for the execution of a Public Contract with the General Contractor: The Consortium of GE Power Sp. z o.o. – The Consortium Leader and ALSTOM Power Systems S.A.S. selected within the framework of procedures for industry procurement conducted by the company in the form of a competitive dialogue entitled "Construction of Elektrownia Ostrołęka C with the capacity of approx. 1000 MW".

Recapitalisation of Grupa Górnicza S.A.

In connection with the process of equity investor prospecting by Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A., in July 2016 ENEA S.A. commenced talks with investors on the possibility of implementing the Investment and its potential parameters. On 28 October 2016, ENEA S.A. signed a letter of intent with Węglokoks S.A. and Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. (Investors), expressing the parties' initial interest in the financial commitment in Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A. or its selected assets. In connection with the interest of Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. (PGG) in acquiring selected assets of Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A. and commencement of the PGG recapitalisation process, ENEA S.A. conducted, with the existing Shareholders of PGG, the necessary analyses of the Business Plan presented by PGG and expressed interest in capital commitment in Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. On 30 March 2017, the Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. expressed its consent for the Company to join Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. and take up new shares in the PGG's capital, of nominal value of PLN 300 million, in exchange of a cash contribution of PLN 300 million.

On 31 March 2017, the Company entered into:

  • the investment agreement setting out the terms and conditions of financial investment in PGG (Investment Agreement),

Sales of electricity

ENEA Wytwarzanie

The electricity sales volume in ENEA Wytwarzanie in H1 2018 amounted to 11,236 GWh, of which 215 GWh was energy from renewable sources. Sales were carried out by individual segments depending on the statutory obligations and the agreements concluded.

ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec

In H1 2018, the volume of electricity sold in ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec totalled to 6,206 GWh, of which 593 GWh were generated from RES.

Purchase of electricity on the wholesale market

ENEA Wytwarzanie

In H1 2018, the volume of electricity purchased in Kozienice Power Plant totalled 3,235 GWh. The purchase was conducted for the needs of trading in energy (1,776 GWh). Additionally, as part of the Balancing Market operation, 1,441 GWh of energy were purchased. In the Heat Segment, the purchased volume in H1 2018 totalled 18 GWh – purchase on the Balancing Market accounted for 11 GWh, and purchase in trading – for 7 GWh. As a rule, trading in energy (sales = purchase) is carried out as part of market possibilities guaranteeing the achievement of the assumed financial result as well as to limit the consequences of failures (in the case of lack of availability of generation units). The purchase as part of trading already takes into account the increase of available power with Unit No. 11. The increase in purchase is also related to the rise in the exchange obligation to 30% (Act of December 2017), which due to the late date of the decision makes it necessary to repurchase the previously contracted energy (lack of availability to execute the full obligation). The purchase of electricity as part of trading in the period of the first half of 2018 concerned mainly Kozienice Power Plant and constituted 55% of the overall purchase of energy. The purchase of electricity as part of the Balancing Market mechanisms accounted for 45%. The purchase results from the ongoing balancing of the NPS by the Operator. Within the Heat Segment, the purchase as part of trading resulted from the implementation of the agreements made with the customers and operations limiting the costs of failure of generation units and the lack of available power against the contracts made.

ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec

In H1 2018, the volume of electricity purchased in ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec totalled to 1,414 GWh.which concerned the actual purchase of 1,405 GWh and the additional adjustment from the previous periods – 9 GWh.

ENEA Wytwarzanie – Kozienice Power Plant

The main fuel used to produce electricity is bituminous coal (mainly fuel dust and small quantities of sludge). The main supplier of coal for ENEA Wytwarzanie – Kozienice Power Plant generation source in H1 2018 was LW Bogdanka S.A. Moreover, coal was supplied by Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A., Węglokoks S.A., and Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa S.A. In Kozienice Power Plant, no biomass was co-combusted in H1 2018.

ENEA Wytwarzanie – Heat Segment

The basic fuels used in ENEA Wytwarzanie in the Heat Segment (Białystok Heat and Power Plant) are coal and biomass – mainly as wood chips, energetic willow chips and agricultural production left-overs and sunflower husk pellet. In the period of January – June 2018, the volume of supplied biomass was approx. 142.4 thousand tonnes, and the supplies were performed by 13 entities. They were slightly smaller than in the same periods of previous years, due to, inter alia, a prolonged failure of the equipment of one of the biomass units. More than 42 thousand tonnes of biomass were supplies to the premises of ENEA Wytwarzanie – Heat Segment by rail transport. In H1 2018, coal supplies to ENEA Wytwarzanie – Heat Segment were ensured mainly by LW Bogdanka (more than 96% of totalsupplies) and Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A.

The values of reliability indices are determined in accordance with qualitative regulation – they include planned and unplanned interruptions, including catastrophic interruptions on high and medium voltage. In analysis of the next years, we observe a gradual decrease in reliability indices, which results from the improving technical condition of the power grid. However, catastrophic weather conditions, as those occurring in 2017, result in the rapid increase of the indices.

After the 2nd quarter of 2018, the indices reached a higher level in relation to the analogical period of the preceding year, but they reflect critical weather conditions which took place in January (18-19 January 2018) and in June (21 June 2018) this year.

In the first half of 2018, sales in most sections was higher than the year before, except for mining and extraction. Growth in production was observed in all main industrial groupings, with the highest one in the field of energy-related goods. In the period of January–June 2018, the domestic construction and assembly output was by approx. 23.7 % higher than in the preceding year. This output grew at a significantly higher pace than in the whole 2017. The highest growth was recorded in sales of construction works in entities specialising in the construction of civil engineering works. In the first half of 2018, the prices of consumer goods and services went up over year less than year before. The dynamics of consumer prices in the second quarter was slightly higher than in the first one. In June 2018, further strengthening of the pace of growth in consumer prices was observed, with a significant acceleration of the growth in prices of goods and services in the field of transport among the main contributors.

Market prices of coal in H1 2018

In the first half of 2018, the international coal market experienced an upward trend. While in Q1 2018 the situation on the global coal market was diversified with a growth tendency in the area of Asia and Pacific and a downward trend in Europe, in Q2 2018 systematic growth of prices prevailed on the market with the critical barrier of USD 100 for 1 tonne of steam coal broken on the global exchanges. In summer, the level of quotations in the period of H1 2018 for price indices was unusual, similar to the picture of the coal market in winter months.

In the Asia-Pacific area, factor significantly influencing coal prices in H1 2018 included, among others, high demand in countries of Southeast Asia and India, disruptions in export of Australian coal and import restrictions imposed by China to stabilise domestic prices and supply. The lower-than-projected level of RES generation in the first half of this year, high prices of gas and oil, and relatively high temperatures already in early spring months resulted in higher energy demand, supporting thereby quotations of the resource in ARA.

The growth of prices in the Asia-Pacific area was characterised by a fairly stronger dynamicsin comparison with the Atlantic area.

In H1 2018, the average spot price of 1 tonne of coal in ARA ports totalled USD 88.52/tonne (+13.84% YoY), and prices ranged from USD 78 to 97 per tonne. The average spot price of 1 tonne of South African coal totalled USD 98.10/tonne (+22.51% YoY), and quotations ranged from USD 81 to 106 per tonne. The dynamics of changes in coal quotationsin the period under analysisremained neutral.

Also, the Polish index for steam coal, PSCMI1, was growth-supportive. In the first half of 2018, the domestic energy sector paid for 1 tonne of coal at average 17% more YoY, i.e. PLN 10.55/GJ. The high prices of coal on the domestic market result from low domestic supply, increase in import of more expensive coal from abroad and extraction difficulties in mining and logistics of the resource suppliesto generation enterprises.

Wholesale electricity prices

The average price on the SPOT market in the first half of 2018 was higher by 30.7% when compared to the same period of 2017. In all months under analysis (except for January), prices were recorded at a significantly higher level than in the same period of 2017. The prices were influenced by the following factors:

  • lower level of capacity available in the PPE system,
  • low generation level of wind plants,
  • significant influence of weather temperature below multi-annual averages,
  • increase in demand.

On the forward market, growth in prices could be observed. During the reporting period, the BASE Y-19 product price went up from the level of PLN 183.25/MWh in the beginning of January to PLN 206.90/MWh in the end of June.

Transaction prices and volumes – BASE Y-19

Such strong increases, never seen before on the market, coincided with strong growth in prices over shorter terms (in particular BASE Q-3-18 and BASE Q-4-18). On the PPE forward market, an increased liquidity can be observed, when we compare turnover in the first half of 2017 and 2018 between BASE Y-18 and BASE Y-19 (it amounts to approx. 140% which means that currently the volume traded on the PPE is comparable to the total yearly turnover of the product 2016 and 2017). One of the reasons for such a situation may be the introduction of the so-called 'exchange obligation' amounting to 30% and the acceleration of the contracting process postponed in the previous years to the second half of the year.

As in the case of BASE Y-19, the prices of PEAK Y-19 also changed. At the beginning of January, the market valuation of this product was PLN 230.50/MWh, and at the end of June 2018 at PLN 285.00/MWh.

The growth of prices seen in the first half of the year was associated, among other things, with a high volatility of CO2 emission allowances (the difference in prices ranged to even EUR 8.65/tonne) and with a difficult situation on the hard coal market. A dynamic growth and significant volatility of the CO2 emission allowance prices are connected with the implementation of the Market Stability Reserve and the increased activity of speculators.

Transaction prices and volumes – PEAK Y-19

In H1 2018, transactions were also concluded for BASE Y-20; however, due to the remote delivery horizon, the trading volume was much lower than in the case of BASE Y-19.

Obligations involved in obtaining energy certificates

Pursuant to the effective regulations, energy companies selling electricity to end users in 2018 are obliged to obtain and redeem the following types of certificates of origin:

  • for energy generated in renewable sources, the so-called "green" certificates the obligation at the level of 17.5% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated from agricultural biogas an obligation at the level of 0.50% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated in methane cogeneration, the so-called "violet" certificates – an obligation at the level of 2.3% of sales to end users
  • for energy generated in gas cogeneration units or with a total installed capacity of up to 1 MW, the so-called "yellow" certificates – the obligation at the level of 8.0%
  • for energy generated in other cogeneration sources, the so-called "red" certificates – the obligation at the level of 23.2%
  • for energy efficiency certificates, the so-called "white" certificates the obligation at the level of 1.5%

Below, the pricing structure of contracts on the PPE session market for individual property rights in the period January – June 2018 is presented. "Green" property rights (PMOZE) were omitted in the analysis due to the lack of trading and their complete replacement by PMOZE_A.

Limits and market prices of carbon dioxide emissions allowances

With the beginning of 2018, the package of MiFID II regulations entered into force, aimed at the strengthening of the financial instrument markets and the protection of capital market participantsin Europe.

The Member States of the UE have started distribution of free allowances for 2018 (until 18 May 2018, 681.49 million EUAs of 756.58 million were issued: 90% of all EUAs). Also, according to the data published, Poland has transferred 89% of the allowances granted to it.

Information about the CO2 emission allowances in trading was published, along with information about the number of allowances that will be transferred to the MSR over the first 8 months from 01.01.2019, i.e. 264.7 million allowances out of 1,654.6 million identified as a surplus.

The European Commission suggested the continuation of the obligation resulting from the greenhouse gas emissions by aviation until final decisions are made regarding the global market mechanism.

Prices of CO2 emission allowances are at the highest level since 2011, and long-term price forecasts anticipate further increases. The identified cause of this situation is launching, in 2019, the MSR whose task is to limit oversupply of allowances on the market by transferring them to a reserve.

2.9. Risk management

ENEA Group is exposed to risks in each segment of its activity. The risk materialisation could have a significant adverse effect on the continuity of business of individual companies of the Group, their financial standing, and ability to achieve their strategic goals.

The awareness of these risks requires maintaining, using, and constantly improving a formalised and integrated enterprise risk management (ERM) system. Its framework is determined by the single Enterprise Risk Management Policy binding in ENEA Group. ERM system in ENEA Group is based on the comprehensive approach to the risk management issue and determination of detailed rules for risk identification and assessment. This is the basis for identification of the key corporate risks and for monitoring of exposure to these risks as well as preparing and monitoring mitigation plans. In the case of some corporate risks, such as credit, liquidity loss, FX, interest rate, and commodity risks, the formalised approach to risk management takesthe form of dedicated Policies and Procedures.

The risk management rules adopted are determined on the basis of the highest management standards and compliant with relevant market practice.

In the first half of 2018, thanks to the implementation of IT systems, corporate risk and credit risk management processes were optimized.

Management model

The risk management organisation at ENEA Group is based on a coordinated model. The key assumption of the model operation is the coordination of risk management processes within the Group by ENEA SA.

Key features of the coordinated model:

  • The Group companies manage risks on the basis of uniform standards set out in the Policies and Procedures.
  • The companies ensure operating management of risks within allocated limits and pursuant to the rules approved by ENEA Group Risk Committee.
  • Individual companies report to the parent company on the measures implemented in the area of risk management.
  • ENEA SA acts in its capacity as the process coordinator in the Group.
  • The Company's organisational structure is divided into Front-, Middle- and Back Office.

Risk Assessment

Each risk included in the Risk Register is assessed in terms of probability and potential financial, reputational and health and safety impacts in line with the Corporate Risk Assessment Scale.

Risk management process

The identification process also includes non-financial risks that may have a significant negative impact on social, employee, environmental, human rights and anti-corruption issues.

The risk management process in ENEA Group is a multi-stage process, engaging all the significant organisational units of the Group Companies. The process model is compliant with the best market practice, and also standards being in force within this scope.

Documentation governing the risk management process in ENEA Group

The overall system of rules for the risk management system operation at ENEA Group is described by a concise list of documents constituting internal law and including relevant Policies and Procedures.

The Policies play the role of constitutive documents setting the framework for the operations performed, specifying the scopes of responsibility of participants, and providing the fundamental guidelines for the management model. The Procedures, in turn, describe the course of process of such operations and the methods employed to conduct any audits, measurements, etc.

ENEA Group Risk Committee

  • (+) higher revenues from sales of heating energy by PLN 8 million results from the higher sales volume by 406 TJ (mainly as a result of the EEP acquisition), with the concurrent decrease of the average sales price by 7.1%
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of natural gas by PLN 16 million results mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from gas sales – distribution services (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018)
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of distribution services by PLN 259 million results mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from transferred charges (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018)
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of certificates of origin by PLN 17 million results from a higher volume of intra-group transactions
  • (+) higher revenues from sales of CO2 emission allowances by PLN 16 million resulting mainly from an increase of the average prices of allowances on the European market
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of services by PLN 8 million results mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from the transport fee (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018)
  • (-) lower sales of coal by PLN 147 million results from a higher volume of intra-group supplies
  • (-) increase in employee benefit costs by PLN 54 million mainly due to the EEP acquisition, raises in LWB and lower remunerations charged to expenditures in connection with the completion of Unit No. 11 investment.
  • (-) increase in the costs of consumption of materials and raw materials and the value of goods sold by PLN 438 million results mainly from the EEP acquisition in the end of Q1 2017, commissioning of SCR installation in Połaniec Power Plant – consumption of ammonia water, launch of the operation of Unit No. 11 with a simultaneous higher costs of coal purchase and CO2 emission allowances for the whole Generation Area
  • (-) increase in the costs of purchasing electricity and gas by PLN 311 million results mainly from the increase in average purchase prices:
  • (-) electricity: price: +9.8%; volume: +1,052 GWh
  • (+) natural gas: price: +10%; volume: -87 GWh
  • (-) higher purchase costs of property rights as a result of higher average prices by 25.9% and a change in the liability base from 15.4% to 17.5%
  • (+) decrease in costs of industrial services by PLN 323 million mainly due to a change in presentation of costs without transmission fees (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018), with a concurrent increase of volume of energy from PSE and a higher fixed transmission fee in the PSE tariff
  • (-) higher costs of third party services by PLN 53 million results mainly from the EEP acquisition and a higher gross extraction (wider scope of gallery work, wider scope of outsourced weekend work).
  • (-) higher taxes and levies by PLN 18 million results, among other things, from the EEP acquisition and from a higher value of fixed assets in connection with the completed investments processes
  • (+) higher result on other operating activities by PLN 27 million:
  • (-) profit from a bargain purchase of shares of ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec SA in 2017 amounting to PLN 12 million
  • (+) lower impairment losses on overdue and bad debt by PLN 14 million
  • (+) higher balance of refunds from the insurer by PLN 14 million

Q2 2018:

Factors behind the change of ENEA Group's EBITDA:

  • (+) higher revenues from sales of electricity by PLN 377 million results mainly from a higher sales volume (by 1,588 GWh) and a higher average sales price by 43%, with the concurrent drop in revenues from Regulatory System Services
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of heating energy by PLN 10 million results from a lower sales volume (by 159 TJ) and a decrease of the average sales price by 1.7%
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of natural gas by PLN 13 million results mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from gas sales – distribution services (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018)
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of distribution services by PLN 123 million results mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from transferred charges (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018)
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of certificates of origin by PLN 19 million results from a higher volume of intra-group transactions
  • (-) lower revenues from sales of services by PLN 7 million results mainly from a change in presentation of revenues from the transport fee (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018)
  • (-) lower sales of coal by PLN 12 million results from a higher volume of intra-group supplies
  • (-) higher employee benefit costs by PLN 31 million mainly due to a change in balance of actuarial provisions and lower remunerations charged to expenditures in connection with the completion of Unit No. 11 investment
  • (-) higher costs of consumption of materials and raw materials and a higher value of sold goods by PLN 118 million as a result of a higher production, which caused higher consumption of materials and raw materials used directly in production, with concurrent higher costs of purchase of coal, biomass, and CO2 emission allowances for the whole Generation Area
  • (-) higher costs of purchasing electricity and gas by PLN 249 million results mainly from higher average purchase prices: (-) electricity: price: +13.9%; volume: +866 GWh (+) natural gas: price: +11%; volume: -85 GWh
  • (-) higher costs of purchasing property rights mainly as a result of a higher average price of green certificates
  • (+) lower costs of industrial services by PLN 164 million mainly due to a change in presentation of costs without transmission fees (implementation of IFRS 15 from 01.01.2018), with a concurrent increase of volume of energy from PSE and a higher fixed transmission fee in the PSE tariff
  • (-) higher result on other operating activities by PLN 43 million:

(-) profit from a bargain purchase of shares of ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec SA in 2017 amounting to PLN 12 million

  • (-) higher impairment losses on overdue and bad debt by PLN 6 million
  • (+) higher balance of refunds from the insurer by PLN 3 million

(+) lower provisions for potential claims by PLN 29 million (including PLN 16 million for terminated contracts of purchase of property rights)

  • (-) lower revenue arising from claims, penalties and fines by PLN 4 million
  • (-) decrease in fixed assets acquired for free PLN 1.8 million
  • (-) higher loss arising from liquidation of tangible assets by PLN 6 million
  • (-) revaluation of CO2 contracts by PLN 53 million

(-) a decrease in revenues from coal sales by: lower sales volume -321,000 t (-6.9%), at a higher price and coal adjustments from the preparation works

(+) an increase in revenues from sales of goods and materials – an increase in the value of sold steel scrap

(-) an increase of revenue adjustments due to the value of excavated coal - greater scope of preparatory works (+4.7 km) together with the higher coal price

(-) 828,000 higher extraction output (+12.3%) – production cost increase

(-) an increase in nominal production cost (without depreciation):

• the third party services cost (mainly due to the cost of work on Saturdays and Sundays anddrilling),

• salaries' cost (salaries raise paid, with additional bonuses and higher average employment rate of about 110people)

(+) in 2018 an increase in stocks of about PLN 33.9 million (decrease in costs), in 2017 decrease in stocks of about PLN 16.7 million (increase in costs)

(+) a higher result on other operating activities: mainly settlement of the arrangement entered into by and between LW Bogdanka S.A. and the consortium of Mostostal Warszawa S.A. and Acciona Infraestructuras - a positive impact on EBITDA in the amount of PLN 28.7million

Presentation differences concerning the financial reporting of ENEA Group and LW Bogdanka Group in the scope of depreciation.

The decrease in revenues from the sale of other products and services results primarily from the fact that, as a result of the adoption of the new IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" as of 1 January 2018, revenues from sales under this item were shown in the balance with the incurred costs (the amount of revenues was reduced by costs amounting to approximately PLN 7.5 million). In the previous year, revenues from transport were presented in an open order (change without impact on EBITDA).

3.2. Rules for preparing financial statements

The condensed financial statements of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group, respectively, contained in the extended consolidated report of ENEA S.A. H1 2018 have been drawn up in accordance with the International Accounting Standards and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) approved by the European Union. The condensed financial statements have been drawn up on the basis of the going-concern principle. As at the day of executing the condensed financial statements, the Management Board of the Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances indicating any threat to the possibility of continuing the Company's activities in the period of 12 months after the balance-sheet date as a result of voluntary or enforced discontinuation or a significant limitation of the present activities. Financial data presented in the statements, unless indicated otherwise, are expressed in thousands of PLN.

3.3. Expected financial situation

The operating and financial results of the Mining Area of ENEA Group in H1 2018 were significantly affected by geological and hydro-technical difficulties encountered in Q1 2018. Q2 2018 brought stabilisation of the level of extraction, and thus stabilisation of the planned revenues from the sale of coal. In 2018, the growth of fixed costs (such as wages, materials and costs of third-party services) independent of geological conditions is expected, which will make it unlikely for the unit production cost to remain at the level of 2017. Actions taken in the Area are aimed at maintaining high efficiency of the mine and a stable level of extraction in accordance with the assumptions presented in the Strategy for LW Bogdanka S.A. This is to be achieved by: keeping fixed costs at a reasonable level and investment outlays in the values allowing output to increase slightly in the following years. The predictability of the results of the Mining Area is influenced by: continuous search for process optimisation and innovative solutions, stabilisation of prices of energy fine coals, and ensuring the receipt of extracted coal by entities included in ENEA Group. The concern for the results of the current year does not mean that activities aimed at developing the mine and extending the prospects of its operations have become irrelevant, hence further applications for obtaining licences for new mining areas have been submitted. The planned increase in the employment level is to ensure the possibility of maintaining the unit extraction cost at an optimum level.

The Generation Area, which in H1 2018 was responsible for 33% of ENEA Group's EBITDA, remains invariably under the influence of the extremely demanding situation on the energy market. The coal-oriented production involves exposure to the risk associated with carbon dioxide emission costs, which in the period in question increased in a way that has not been observed before. The results of the Generation Area will also be influenced by the number of free CO2 emission allowances obtained, which may turn out to be significantly lower than in previous years. As in every element of the value chain of ENEA Group, an increase - albeit small - in the fixed costs of the power plant, especially in the area of remuneration, as well as in variable costs, such as the cost of fuel transport resulting from ongoing repairs of railway routes, is noticeable. The major repairs of generation units planned for 2018-2021, which will make relatively long periods of suspension of electricity generation inevitable, are important for the revenues achieved by the Generation Area. Lower production of existing generation assets is and will be compensated by Unit 11 in subsequent periods. In the RES Segment, an increase in revenues from the sale of "green certificates" is observed as a result of a significant increase in the market price in the period in question. The results of the segment will be affected by significant optimisation of fixed costs, but also by the failure of the Bardy wind farm, which reduced the volume of electricity generated.

The area that consistently stabilises the predictability of financial flows is Distribution, responsible for 44% of the EBITDA result of ENEA Group. The results of this area are primarily affected by two elements: a decrease in the weighted average cost of capital adopted by the Energy Regulatory Office for tariff calculations (WACC) - 7.197% in 2015, 5.675% in 2016, 5.633% in 2017 - and the Energy Regulatory Office's introduction of the socalled quality tariff from 2016. It should be noted that only the EBITDA for 2019 may be subject to significant impact of weather events that took place in Q3 2017. These events had a huge influence on the values of the SAIDI and SAIFI indices achieved in 2017, though ENEA Group conducts activities aimed at the regulator taking their catastrophic nature into account. In order to ensure the implementation of indices determined by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, ENEA Group implements investments in the Distribution Area, increasing the safety and stability of energy supplies. With a view to ensuring also stable cash flows in the future, ENEA Group intends to maintain investment expenditures related to the development of the grid at an unchanged level in the following years.

In the Trading Area, operational activities invariably concentrate on increasing revenues from the sale of electricity and gaseous fuel - thanks to the constantly developing product offer, new customers are gained and the volume of energy and gas sold is also growing. The financial results of the Trading Area are adversely affected by the growing market competition exerting pressure on realised sales prices. In the current period, the result of the Trading Area is significantly reduced compared to H1 2017 as a consequence of the rising prices of environmental obligations, with particular emphasis on "green certificates", the price of which also affects the reduction of the provision related to possible claims related to the termination of long-term contracts for the purchase of green property rights. An important element affecting the reduction of the area's results is the rising price of electricity, which in turn is influenced by the invariably high costs of purchasing CO2 emission allowances and increasing fuel prices.

The financial position of the Group remains safe, for instance due to the relatively high level of cash, which at the end of H1 2018, together with short-term financial assets held to maturity and financial assets at fair value through profit, amounted to approx. PLN 3 billion. It should be noted, however, that a significant part of the financial resources was located as collateral for transactions at IRGIT (Commodity Clearing House) and concluded contracts for the purchase of CO2 for subsequent settlement periods. At the moment, the Group's activities focus on seeking solutions that respond to the difficult market situation in the Generation and Trading Areas, so that the generated financial results and flows are subject to the least possible erosion compared to previous years. The fact that the Group is a closed value chain from coal mining to the sale of electricity to the end user enables flexible response to dynamic price increases, and the variable market and regulatory situation.

Thanks to financial results that do not deviate from the planned ones, a safe cash position and the availability of financing, ENEA Group can consistently implement the CAPEX programme (of investment outlays) in the individual areas of its activities.

3.4. Post balance sheet date events

Notwithstanding the information on the implementation of the subsequent stages of the Ostrołęka Power Plant project described in 2.2 Changes in the Group's structure, after the end of the reporting period there were no significant changes which may affect the financial results of ENEA Group.

6.1 Events which may affect future results

Regulatory environment

The activities of ENEA S.A. are carried out in an environment subject to specific legal regulations both at the domestic level as well as at the level of the European Union. Since legal regulations in the energy sector are often a derivative of political decisions, there is always a risk of frequent changes in this scope, which cannot be foreseen by the Company and which can result in the lack of consistency and uniformity of provisions based on which ENEA S.A. conducts its activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activities of the Group are regulated by the current shape of the national legal system defining the framework for business activity in Poland, including in particular 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 interpretationsrelating to significant areas of activity of the Group, can lead to possible liabilities of the Group's companies.

Internal energy market

On 30 November 2016, the European Commission published a draft of a series of EU regulations entitled "Clean Energy for all Europeans", the so-called Winter Package (WP), i.e. a set of new, comprehensive legislative proposals in the field of energy and climate policy (Regulations and Directives) concerning the establishment of a single internal energy market, changes in the structure of the retail market, development of RES and increasing energy efficiency, with the planned date of entry into force across the EU on 1 January 2020. The main objectives of the regulation were set out in the document of the EU Climate and Energy Policy Framework adopted by the resolution of the European Council in October 2014. The proposed package of measures is also intended to maintain the EU's competitiveness at a time when the transition to clean energy is determining the development of global energy markets.

The concept of the internal energy market that has been put forward considers the consumer, including the prosumer, to be its central player. EU consumers are to be actively involved in the energy market, including being provided with more opportunities to generate and sell their own electricity, more choice of energy supplier, access to reliable benchmarking tools for electricity prices (transparency of the internal market). Four of the eight legal acts in the package have now been finalised. Under the Bulgarian presidency representing the EU Member States which finished on 30 June 2018, works on the Directive on the energy performance of buildings, the RES directive, the "Governance" regulation and the Directive on energy efficiency were completed. The key points are set out below. After the takeover of the Eu presidency by Austria on 1 July, compromise positions will be reached on the regulation and the market design directive – in the so-called trilogue phase, i.e. in trilogue negotiations between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council.

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 purposes of the Polish energy policy until 2050", in the time horizon reaching 2050, electricity production will increase by approx. 40% – from 158 TWh in 2010 to 223 TWh in 2050. 1)Notwithstanding the above, the Ministry of Energy is currently working on the new Polish power policy (PPP) which will describe the government'slong-term vision for the power sector.

Capacity Market

Last year, the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Act of 8 December 2017 on the capacity market, the purpose of which is to ensure the continuity and stability of power supply for both industry and households. The introduction of the capacity market means a change in the structure of the energy market from a single commodity market to a dual commodity market, where, in addition to electricity generation, readiness to supply the grid will also be subject to trading (net available capacity). The selection of the remunerated capacity market units will be based on "Dutch type" auctions. On 7 February 2018, the Polish Capacity Market Act was approved by the European Commission as a result of the notification. In the text of the decision, the EC introduced a provision in the form of an obligation to deduct the public aid of an investment character obtained by entities from the capacity remuneration. Consequently, on 30 March 2018, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office issued a decision approving the Capacity Market Rules, which contains detailed operating conditions and specifies technical and operational details of the Polish capacity market. The document also regulates the rules of operation of the capacity market register used for individual certifications and auctions. In the regulatory aspect, the issuance of executive acts to the Act is important from the point of view of the Capacity Market. So far, draft regulations have been published concerning financial security and the rules for the implementation of the capacity obligation. The Regulation on the parameters of the auctions, which is crucial in the context of preparation for participation in the auctions, was issued on 22 August 2018.

Schedule of capacity market process for 2018:

Start of the general certification process – 3 April 2018 Start of certification for main auctions for 2021–2023 – 5 September 2018 End of certification for main auctions for 2021–2023 – 31 October 2018 Main auction for 2021 – 15 November 2018 Main auction for 2022 – 5 December 2018 Main auction for 2023 – 21 December 2018

In accordance with the schedule of capacity market processes for 2018, in the period from 3 April to 29 May 2018, PSE S.A. carried out the first general certification process, under which all the assets of Enea Wytwarzanie and Enea Elektrownia Połaniec had been notified.

ENEA Group has established an interdisciplinary team consisting of employees from the Group's main companies, including those responsible for generation and trading. The team works on the strategy of participation in main auctions using fundamental methods and game theory. At the same time, it participates in industry bodies (Polish Electricity Association - PKEE, Economic Society Polish Power Plants - TGPE, Association of Energy Trading - TOE) in order to actively support the implementation of the capacity market in Poland.

REMIT

REMIT is the Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (Regulation on wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency). By virtue of the Regulation, the electricity market is subject to strict and restrictive rules of publication and public character of any information which may affect the prices of energy products on the wholesale energy market, including the absolute ban on market manipulation. REMIT provides for the obligation of registration of each market participant in the national register of market participants. Any market participant is obliged to report data on the transactions concluded on wholesale energy markets, including any orders placed. The duty of reporting to EW refers to the basic data on the capacity and use of generating infrastructure. Also, REMIT stipulates the obligation to make inside information public in the form of an announcement. REMIT prohibits market manipulation and attempts to manipulate the market and does not allow to use inside information. Under REMIT, regulatory authorities acquire the powers in the field of conducting investigations and enforcing the provisions of REMIT.

Key objectives and provisions of the Winter Package:

1) Decarbonisation:

• based on the WP regulations, in the long term, i.e. by 2050, the EU plans to transition to a zero-carbon economy – for this purpose, the so-called Energy Road Map for the EU by 2050 is being developed.

2) Intensive development of renewable energy sources (amendment of the RES Directive, i.e. RED II):

  • On 14 June 2018, a memorandum of understanding on long-negotiated provisions was agreed. With regard to the overall binding target for the share of RES in 2030, a 32% target was set with no binding national targets. In addition, a revision of the 2023 target was agreed.
  • In the context of state aid, the conditions for eligibility of biomass-fired power plants for financial support were specified. In the case of installations from 50 to 100 MW –the support was made dependent on the fulfilment of efficiency levels in accordance with the reference document BAT LCP (Best Available Techniques). For units with capacity above 100 MW, at least 36% electricity efficiency is required.
  • For the transport sector, the RES target for 2030 was set at 14% and by this year the elimination of the use of palm oil was agreed.

3) Increasing energy efficiency, with a binding EU target of 35% by 2030 – the draft Energy Efficiency Directive, related to support (transformation, modernisation) in the area of heating and cooling:

  • On 20 June 2018, negotiations on the final form of the legislation finished with an increase in the non-binding pan-European energy efficiency target of 32.5% compared to the 2007 energy consumption forecasts.
  • For the annual savings of energy sold to end users, the target of 0.80% was set.

4) Development of and support for electromobility in the EU, primarily in public transport (draft regulations constituting the so-called Clean Mobility Package, published by the European Commission in November 2017);

5) the draft of a Single Electricity Market design - new rules of energy legal framework for the European Union introduced by the draft:

• Regulation of the European Parliament concerning the internal energy market;

The act introduces, i.a., the criterion of qualification of units to the capacity market - the EPS 550g CO2/kWh emission standard for generating units taking part in the capacity market (eliminating support for coal-fired units). Currently, negotiations on the final form of the provisions are in progress. The position of the EU Council assumes a transitional period to 2025 and 2030 for concluded capacity contracts, while the European Parliament's position constitutes a tightening of the position of the European Commission, taking into account the priority of the strategic reserve with an annual emission limit of 200g CO2/kW, before capacity mechanisms.

  • Directives concerning common rules for the internal energy market,
  • Currently, the documents are under negotiations in the so-called trilogue, and a solution is expected by the end of this year.

6) Energy Union Management System (EU Governance) – a regulation, the wording of which was agreed on 20 June 2018, regulates, among others:

  • the obligation for each Member State to notify, by the end of 2018, a draft of the first National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan ("NIECP") for the period 2021 to 2030 – i.a., the Member State's declared share of RES.
  • Obligation of Member States to evenly spread the growth of RES over 10 years (development trajectory reaching reference points in 2022, 18% of the required growth will be achieved, 2025 - 43%, 2027 - 65%).
  • lack of clearly defined means of enforcing the objectives from the Member States in the event of failure to meet the set objectives issuance of non-compulsory recommendations of the European Commission.

7) mandatory development of grid infrastructure (cross-border interconnections); with the target of establishing the EU DSO Entity, new powers and competences of ACER and ENTSO-e at EU level.

The European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS)

On 8 April 2018, Directive (EU) 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council introducing changes to the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading system came into force.

The Directive establishes, i.a., 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 2012 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.

Financial markets (MiFID 2)

Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (MiFID 2). On 3 January 2018 came into force MiFID 2, which is a legal act primarily concerning financial markets, but also affecting companies from the energy sector. Several key issues are relevant to the energy sector. Firstly, emission allowances and derivatives based on emission allowances have been unconditionally included in the list of financial instruments. Also, to the list were added commodity derivatives (including forward contracts for electricity and gas), which are equivalent to contracts concluded on organised markets, i.e. regulated markets, MTFs and OTFs. An exception will be the contracts traded on the OTF markets, settled by physical delivery, concerning the so-called wholesale energy products - i.e. transactions concerning electricity and gas falling within the scope of the REMIT regulation (the so-called REMIT carve-out). Classification of certain products as financial instruments will have an impact on the rules of trading in these instruments – conditions of trading, security and clearing. As a consequence, the existing Commodity Forward Instruments Market operated by TGE S.A. will ultimately be transformed into an OTF (organised trading platform). MiFID 2 also amended the rules for exemptions from the need to obtain permits from the financial supervision authority (KNF) to conduct brokerage activities with respect to financial instruments. As a result of this change, energy companies had to analyse their activities and adapt to the new requirements, or decide to obtain the status of an investment firm. MiFID 2 was implemented into the Polish legal system by the Act of 1 March 2018 amending the Act on trading in financial instruments and certain other acts, which entered into force on 21 April 2018.

Limits on Property Rights

GREEN

In the area of PMOZE_A (certificates of origin of energy generated from renewable sources), there has been a permanent surplus of rights on the market, which was reflected by the low price levels recorded in 2016 and in H1 2017. As at 27 April, it is estimated that after the fulfilment of the obligation for 2017 around 25 TWh of active PMOZE_A will remain on registers. The Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 11 August 2017 determining the obligation level for the years 2018-2019 (17.5% and 18.5%, respectively) improved the perspective for the long-term handling of the surplus. In addition, the amendment to the RES Act (of 20 July 2017) and the interpretation of the Minister of Energy in the scope of the lack of possibility of settling the replacement fee as long as the unit replacement fee does not reach the maximum level (300.03 PLN/MWh), resulted in a strong increase in prices of PMOZE_A to the level of PLN 70/MWh and established a sustained upward trend.

LIGHT BLUE

In the area of PMOZE_BIO (certificates of origin of energy generated from agricultural biogas), the situation has completely changed when compared to the redemption obligation for 2016. In the first half of 2017, the prices reached a level of PLN 470/MWh. The valuation of the instrument came close to the level of the unit replacement fee (PLN 300.03/MWh) only after the publication of the first draft amendment to the RES Act in June 2017, conditionally unlocking the possibility of settling the replacement fee. Since this point in time, the prices of "light blue" property rights have remained above the replacement fee, but they are close to it (above PLN 317/MWh), with account taken of the purchaser's benefit resulting from the possibility of deducting the excise tax (PLN 20/MWh) for the fulfilment of the obligation through redemption of certificates of origin. The price trend is maintained due to the fact that the conditions for paying the replacement fee have been met since the beginning of 2018. This should continue as long as the average threemonth PMOZE_BIO price is above the level of the unit replacement fee.

COGENERATION

The current system of property rights for cogeneration will remain in effect until the end of 2018 and legislative work is under way on a new support system operating on the basis of an auction system.

WHITE

In the previous year, for the first time the moment of fulfilment of the obligation was set to the end of June, in connection with the new Act on Energy Efficiency of 20 May 2016 As a result, there are currently four indicesfor "white" property rights on the market, i.e.:

  • PMEF energy efficiency certificates issued on the basis of a system of tenders pursuant to the previous legal basis, subject to expiry as of 30 June 2019;
  • PMEF-2017 energy efficiency certificates issued for completed investments, for applications submitted in 2017 (outside the system of tenders), which, like "cogeneration" property rights, shall expire after 30 June 2018;
  • PMEF-2018 energy efficiency certificates issued for completed investments, for applications submitted in 2018 (outside the system of tenders), which, like "cogeneration" property rights, shall expire after 30 June 2019;
  • PMEF_F energy efficiency certificates issued for non-started investments pursuant to the Act of 20 May 2016, without expiry date.

On 20 July 2017, results of the last tender for investments in the field of energy efficiency, announced by the Energy Regulatory Office on 21 September 2016, were published. The projects selected in individual categories amounted in total to nearly 55% of the pool (806.743/toe in total). The growth in the number of PMEF on the market resulted in the fall of prices of the instrument in the second half of 2017. In the end, however, index prices returned to the average level of PLN 712/toe due to the appearance of information from the Ministry of Energy that if there is a risk that after the obligation for 2018, i.e. after 30 June 2019, unused PMEFs will remain on the registers, then measures may be taken to change the date of their redemption, i.e. extend their validity.

The recent amendment to the Act on Energy Efficiency, although it facilitated the process of application for support for activities in favour of energy efficiency, in connection with the failure to initiate a tender procedure, it simultaneously reduced the PMEF_F supply though the limitation of support for a project to the amount of one average annual energy saving. This translated into the valuation of PMEF_F at a level of PLN 1,500/toe (similar to the unit replacement fee).

Variability and liquidity on the wholesale market

The doubled obligation to trade applicable as of the beginning of 2018 significantly contributed to the improvement of liquidity on all floors of the Polish Power Exchange. Therefore, in the framework of the annual frontal contract in the first quarter of 2018, transactions were made in a volume of 165.5%, larger than in relation to the analogical product in the first quarter of 2017. High prices for the first quarter were also recorded on the RDN where the average price from Fixing 1 stood at a level of PLN 184.83/MWh, given a level of PLN 155.11/MWh year before. The increase of the spot price was largely influenced by changes in the generation structure of conventional plants, by higher prices of generation fuels, and higher environmental costs incurred. More expensive emission allowances resulted also in the change of moods in term contracting on the Polish Power Exchange, where transactions on the annual contract BASE Y-19 in the first quarter were made at an average price higher by PLN 25.75 than in the analogical period of the previous year in relation to BASE Y-18 product.

Termination/withdrawal by ENEA S.A. of/from property right purchase agreements

On 28 October 2016, ENEA made a statement of termination of or withdrawal from all long-term property right purchase agreements resulting from the certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources (the so-called green certificates). These agreements became dissolved.

The Company had to terminate/withdraw from the individual agreements as it has exhausted all possibilities of restoring contract balance and equivalence of the parties' performances due to the 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 (withdrawal) by ENEA S.A. of (from) 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 party's non-fulfilment of its 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 contractual liabilities was approx. PLN 1.187m net.

Continued cooperation in the construction of Poland's first nuclear power plant

On 3 September 2014, a Shareholder Agreement was concluded between PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Tauron Polska Energia, ENEA and KGHM Polska Miedź (Business Partners). On April 15, 2015, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, an agreement was signed for the sale of shares in PGE EJ 1 sp. z o.o., under which each Business Partner acquired a 10% share in PGE EJ 1. Following the disposal by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna to its Business Partners of shares in PGE EJ 1, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna holds 70% of the share capital of PGE EJ 1, and the other Business Partners (Tauron Polska Energia, ENEA and KGHM Polska Miedź) hold 30%, i.e. 10% each. According to the assumptions of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, it plays a leading role in the project of construction and operation of the first Polish nuclear power plant, and PGE EJ 1 is to act as the operator of the power plant in the future. Pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, the Parties undertake to finance jointly, in proportion to their shares, the activities of the Project Preliminary Phase (Development Phase). The financial involvement of ENEA during the Development Phase will not exceed approximately PLN 107 million. In Q1 2018, PGE EJ 1 continued to work on the programme to prepare for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Poland. The Parties to the Shareholder Agreement foresee that the decision regarding the declaration of further participation of the individual Partiesin the next stage of the Project will be taken after the end of the Development Phase.

Act on electromobility and alternative fuels

On 28 December 2017, the Council of Ministers passed draft Act on electromobility and alternative fuels which was submitted by the Minister of Energy. Draft Act proposes the regulations which aim to stimulate electromobility development in Poland and the use of alternative fuels, including electricity, in transport. The Act sets the legal framework for expansion of the vehicle charging infrastructure, supporting the growth of the market and infrastructure of alternative fuels as well as innovative forms of transport. The Act was signed the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr Andrzej Duda, on 5 February 2018 and will come into effect come into effect 14 days after the day of its publication in the Journal of Laws. The Act introduces new terms, such as charging services. Electric vehicle charging is the new type of business activity; such charging services are not considered the sale of electricity within the meaning of the Power Law Act, which is why they do not require a licence. Charging services will ensure free-of-charge charging of vehicles in the publicly available charging stations. The first stage of the electricity charging stations construction will take place in the years 2018 and 2019. The relevant infrastructure should be developed on an arm's length basis during this period, with co-financing from the public funds. If the target number of charging stations in the municipalities meeting the conditions set out in the Act is not reached by the end of 2019, such municipalities will have to prepare a plan for development of the missing vehicle charging infrastructure; the party responsible for the construction of the missing charging stations in such municipalities will be the electricity distribution system operator. Individual solutions will be implemented gradually until 2028.

On 28 July 2018, the Act of 6 June 2018 amending the Act on biocomponents and liquid biofuels and certain other acts amending some provisions of the Act on electromobility and alternative fuels came into force. The Act established, among others, the Low Emission Transport Fund, a state special purpose fund administered by the minister in charge of energy matters. The management of the Fund has been entrusted to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego will provide banking services for the Fund. The purpose of the Fund will be to finance projects related to the development of electromobility and transport based on alternative fuels.

Operations of ElectroMobility Poland S.A.

On 19 October 2016, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, Energa, ENEA and Tauron Polska Energia established ElectroMobility Poland S.A.. The new company's activity is to contribute to establishing the electromobility system in Poland and to implement a programme aimed at the construction of a Polish electric vehicle and selling it on a mass scale. The company has the share capital of PLN 10m. Each of the companies establishing ElectroMobility Poland S.A. took up 25% of the share capital, thus achieving 25% of votes at the general meeting of shareholders. In January 2018, the share capital of the company was increased by the shareholdersto the total amount of PLN 30 million.

Situation in the domestic bituminous coal mining sector

The electricity price curve will be strongly dependent on the cost of production fuel sourcing. The need for restructuring of the mining sector in the mid-term shall translate into a change of prices of supplied energy resources. The direction of changes is not clear, however as the main element of the domestic electric generation cost it leads to the emergence of new risks connected with the term contracting process.

New projections for Energy price curves

The long-term financial projections of ENEA Group based on electricity price curve forecasts and the expectations regarding fluctuations in market prices of energy origin certificates, CO2 emissions allowances, and coal prices prove that the situation in the Generation Area becomes more and more demanding. Due to the continued rising trend on the market of energy fuels and their transport, causing the imbalance between the revenues earned and the energy generation cost, the Group anticipates the need for the fast coming into effect of the announced systemic power industry support mechanisms (e.g., through implementing the abovementioned power market). The difficulties experienced by generation sources in generating good financial results exclude the possibility of making outlays on development investments which seem unavoidable in the yearsto come.

Expansion of generation portfolio

Irrespective of the fact that the 1,075 MW unit was commissioned at Kozienice Power Plant, ENEA plans to engage in the construction of new sources or acquisition of existing ones. It will carry out some of these activities through partnerships with other energy groups. The implementation of this strategy will mean a significant increase in the significance of ENEA in the generation of electricity for the needs of the National Power System. The total installed capacity of conventional generation sources is expected to increase to 5.8-6.3 GW in 2025. This will allow the Group to produce 20.7-22.8 TWh of electricity from its own sources, which will mean balancing the production and sale of electricity.

Amendment to RES Act

On 29 June 2018, the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Act of 7 June 2018 amending the Act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts ("RES Act"). The purpose of the RES Act was to adapt the Polish regulations on state aid to the requirements that the European Commission set for the Republic of Poland in the notification procedure of the RES development support system. The RES Act regulates changes to the principles of the auction system, introducing a clear division into auction baskets along with the conclusion of the quantity and value of energy that can be contracted at this year's auctions. The effect of the implemented changes is also the abolition of the limit for participation in RES auctions for biomass combustion units with a total installed electrical capacity greater than 50 MW. In addition, in terms of biomass, the Act sets the share of agricultural biomass in the total biomass weight share at 10%. These regulations are important, i.a., from the point of view of Unit No. 9 of Połaniec Power Plant. In the context of ensuring compliance of the definitions adopted in the RES Act with the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, the regulations introduce definition changes, i.a., increasing the scopes of installed capacity in small and micro RES installations. In the field of energy wood, its definition catalogue has been extended to biomass of agricultural origin. In terms of the use of fuels in practice, there is still no clear definition of the characteristics of energy wood as defined in the relevant regulation. Also, a provision was added imposing an obligation to sell all electricity generated from RES installations by 31 December 2020 (with certain inclusions) on the commodity exchange or on another regulated market.

Operating Capacity Reserve (OCR)

  • OCR mechanism is conducted by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne Operator of the Transmission System (OTS) within the system services catalogue
  • For producers of energy it is an economic incentive to offer generating capacities to OTSs in the peak hours of demand for power
  • OCR includesthe available generating capacity, being the surplus of the power available to OTSs over the contracts concluded to satisfy demand for elect
  • The unit price for OCR depends on the volume of generating capacity available to OTSs over the demand for electricity covered:
  • within energy sale agreements
  • on the Balancing Market as part of the free exchange

A unit price for OCR depends on the volume of generating capacity available to OTSs over the demand and may not be higher than the reference price which for 2015 was 37.28 PLN/MWh, for 2016 was 41.20 PLN/MWh, and for 2017 it was 41.79 PLN/MWh.

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

Parameters of the OCR settlement model in 2017-2018:

In 2016, the rules were changed for settling OCR, which in previous periods resulted in the fact that in the hours during which the OCR unit price reached the maximum level the OTS did not fully use the budget designated for that service. Since 2016, new adjustment settlements were introduced (monthly and annual), which re-verify settlements and any unused funds for OCR are distributed among the units participating in the reserve. Since 2017, consumption units with the possibility of reducing the demand (DSR) are included within OCR. As of 2018, the OCR budget was increased.

Significant trends in the Distribution area

New technologies emerging, Clients' rising expectations, and a dynamically changing economic environment in Poland and worldwide anticipate changes to the way of operation of Distribution System Operators (DSO); in particular, they emphasise the need to implement innovative solutions in the area of distribution which lead to upgrade and extension of the distribution network enabling to absorb the leading trends in the power industry.

Key trends are related to:

  • the development and implementation of smart grids
  • the development and implementation of high-end IT systems supporting network management
  • the occurrence of new institutional and technical solutions, such as clusters, power cooperatives, prosumer market, power warehouses, electromobility
  • implementation of R&D projects

Tariff for electricity distribution services

The new model of quality regulation came into effect on 1 January 2016, but it will affect the finances of ENEA Operator (and other DSOs) as of 2018. The President of ERO made a part of the regulated revenue dependent on the quality of services provided by such entities. The service quality assessment will take place in the form of measurement of various indicators, including, without limitation, power supply reliability and the time of connection to the power grid. From the perspective of the Tariff for electricity distribution services approved for the year 2018, the quality regulation impact on the revenue achievable by the Company is negligible for the year under analysis. Moreover, in connection with the Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 29 December 2017 on the detailed rules for determining and calculating rate structures and settlements in electricity trading, a new power tariff group G12as was established within the Tariff for electricity distribution services. It is to promote energy consumption during the so-called night consumption fall by setting preferential rates of the grid rate variable component. At present, it is not possible to estimate the impact of establishing a new tariff group on the Company's revenues. Similarly, the aforementioned Regulation introduces modifications to the clauses governing discounts for non-achievement of the recipient service quality standards or electricity quality parameters. As of 1 January 2019, DSO are obliged to automatically offer discounts to energy recipients within 30 days of the day when they failed to keep the recipient service quality standards or electricity quality parameters and to specify the length of blackout for which a discount is granted. At present, such discounts are granted to recipients upon their request. In addition, changes were made in the tariff, resulting from the Act on Electromobility. The changes are related, in particular, to fees for connection of charging infrastructure for public road transport and generally accessible charging stations.

Increasing number of energy sellers

The number of electricity sellers has been constantly growing. The occurrence of a seller pursuing an aggressive pricing policy may put a pressure on the margin on energy sales to retail clients. Another important fact is that more and more clients decide to change their energy seller. As at the end of December 2017, the number of TPA (Third Party Access) recipients among enterprises (power tariff groups A, B, C) reached 188,231, which means a rise by 8.3%. As regards households, there were 546,867 TPA recipients among them (power tariff group G) as at 2017, which means an increase by 18.2% when compared to the status as at the end of December 2016.1)

Exemption from the duty to submit the rate structures applicable to households

Pursuant to Article 49 of the Energy Law, the President of ERO may exempt a power enterprise from the duty to submit rate structures for approval, if the President finds that the enterprise operates on a competitive market. The release from such duty may have a positive impact on the margin on energy sales.

2018 Tariff – distribution of electricity

The tariff for ENEA Operator for 2018 was approved by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office on 14 December 2017, and changed thereafter by decisions of 3 January 2018, 16 January 2018, and 27 February 2018. The Tariff was prepared in accordance with the assumptions published by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office in the document "ODS Tariffs for 2018" and in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 29 December 2017 on detailed rules of shaping and calculating tariffs and settlements in electricity trading. The tariffsfor distribution services approved for 2018 shall result in the following changesin paymentsto customers for each set of tariff groups: A – down by 2.23%

B – down by 1.58% C2 – down by 0.61% C1 – down by 0.70% G – down by 0.73% The above figures take into account the impact of transferred charges (transitional, qualitative and RES). If these are eliminated, the figures are as follows: A – up by 1.61% B – up by 1.45% C2 – up by1.28% C1 – up by1.40% G – up by 1.19%

Regulation on the protection of personal data (GDPR)

GDPR is an EU legal act which entered into force on 25 May 2018 in all member states. It introduces new rules for the processing of personal data and imposes new obligations on data controllers. GDPR provides for high administrative fines for non-compliance with the provisions of the Regulation and the right to compensation for persons whose right to the protection of personal data has been infringed. ENEA S.A. is currently preparing for the upcoming changes and is implementing the obligations for data controllers laid down in GDPR.

Court and administrative proceedings

As at the day of submitting this report, there are no pending proceedings regarding the liabilities or debt claims, to which ENEA S.A. or its subsidiary unit is a party. A detailed description of the proceedings is included in note 27 to the condensed consolidated mid-year financialstatements of ENEA Group for H1 2018.

Collective disputes

There is no collective dispute in any of the key companies being members of ENEA Group. In order to eliminate the risk and occurrence of potential collective dispute, the management boards of the companies remain in constant dialogue with the community.

CO2 emission allowances

An important element on the cost side which determines the profitability of electricity generation is the allocation of free emission allowances for carbon dioxide and other gases and substances in a given settlement period. Receiving a free allocation of CO2 emission is a condition for the implementation of dedicated investments in ENEA Group submitted to the National Investment Plan (NIP). The value of actual expenses incurred is the basisfor receiving allowances.

In 2018, Poland carries out, in accordance with the plan, the sales of 78.03 million CO2 emission allowances. Polish EUAs are sold on the auction platform of the EEX exchange with which Poland has executed once again an agreement on sales of emission allowances. The auctions take place every second Wednesday – at each of them, except for the auctions carried out in August, 3.547 million EUAs are put to sale. In the period of January–August 2018, Poland sold 53.20 million CO2 emission allowances, generating in that manner EUR 543.25 million of revenues.

Reduction of pollutant emissions

In accordance with EU regulations, and in particular Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (IED), as of 1 January 2016 new, more strict environment protection standards are applicable. Therefore all electricity producers in Poland who use first of all carbon-intensive technologies are obliged to adjust their energy 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 (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. Published kBATs introduce, among other things, stricter requirements (than in the IED) for pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust. The emission limit values (BATs) also cover the additional substances mercury, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and ammonia. In accordance with the requirements of the CNS, a 4-year adjustment period started on 17 August 2017.

* Data taking into account emissions of pollutants from the start-up boiler house.

** In June 2018, FGD IV was overhauled, therefore, part of the flue gases from 200 MW units were emitted without desulphurisation by the K2 flue gas stack, which was connected with a periodical increase in the amount of dust emitted.

Compliance with formal and legal requirements

ENEA Wytwarzanie

ENEA Wytwarzanie sp. z o.o. takes advantage of a derogation resulting from the IED, namely the Transitional National Plan (TNP):

  • in relation to sulphur dioxide and dust emissions: Kozienice Power Plant (units 1–10) together with Białystok Heat and Power Plant,
  • in relation to NOx emissions: Białystok Heat and Power Plant individually.

In the period of validity of the TNP, i.e. from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2020, annual emission caps are applicable (the caps decrease year over year). The emission cap in the last year of applicability of the TNP is defined at a level corresponding to the emission standard for a given pollutant, resulting from IED (in the case of Kozienice Power Plant 200 mg/m3 usr for SO2 and 20 mg/m3usr for dust).

The emission of pollutants as part of the TNP for H1 2018 and the extent of utilisation of the annual emission caps are presented in the table below.

Pursuant to the regulation of the Minister of Environment of 1 March 2018 on emission standards for certain installation types, fuel combustion sources and waste incineration or coincineration installations (Polish Journal of Laws of 2018, item 680), in relation to unit 11 for emission of all pollutants and in relation to units 1–10 for NOx emissions, the following conditionsfor the compliance with the emissionsstandards 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 at least one of the conditionsspecified in items a), b), and c) is not met, a penalty is assessed for each hourly exceedance counted from the beginning of the year.

Kozienice Power Plant meets the objectives set by the national and european law (IED directive, BAT conclusion). Recently, the power plant has built the FGD installation for flue gas desulphurisation, guaranteeing reduction of SO2 from the fumes of all units. Currently it is in the last stage of installation of catalytic flue gas denitrification (SCR) on the unit nr. 9. Electrostatic dust precipitators and domestic waste sewage and rain-industrialsewage for the units 9-11 are under renovation.

* The total increase in SO2 emissions in the first half of 2018 was mainly influenced by the operation of Unit 1. Unit 1 (with natural derogation of 17 500h), compared to the same period of 2017, worked 1,365 hours more with the permissible SO2 emissions to 1,200mg/Nm3, which translated into an increase in SO2 emissions.

ENEA Połaniec S.A. benefits from the derogation resulting from the IED Directive - a natural derogation of 17,500 hours, which covers boiler No. 1. Until the end of June 2018, altogether 6,936 hours were used out of the limit of 17,500 hours, including 2,200 hours in H1 2018. In H1 2018, the emission standards specified in the integrated permit were not exceeded.

6.2 CSR – Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility of ENEA Group in the first half of 2018 was focused on the implementation of the following activities:

Publication of "The Non-financial Statement of ENEA Group for 2017"

Publication of "The Sustainability Report of ENEA Group for 2017"

Since 1 January 2017, the amended Accounting Act of 15 December 2016 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2017, item 61) has been applicable in Poland, implementing Directive 2014/95/EU as regards the enhanced disclosure of non-financial information by certain undertakings and groups fulfilling conditionsspecified in the Act.

The new statutory obligation applies to ENEA Group as well as to ENEA S.A., which was obliged, for the reporting period 2017, to:

  • draw up a non-financial statement as part of the report on the operations or as a separate statement, and
  • report information on the applied diversity policy (or lack thereof) in relation to the composition of its administration, managing, and supervisory bodies.

In March 2018, ENEA Group, fulfilling the new statutory obligation, published "Non-financial Statement of ENEA Group" as part of the "Report of the Management Board on the operations of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2017". The statement was based on the international reporting standards – GRI Standards. This means, inter alia, that:

  • at the stage of defining the scope of reported non-financial information and so-called "material reporting aspects", the perspective of stakeholders was included (through a survey);
  • in the Statement, indicators in the account recommended in the "GRI Standards" were used;
  • pursuant to the guidelines contained in the "GRI Standards", in the indicators concerning the number of employees, data as at the last day of the reporting period, namely 31 December 2017, were provided.

Apart from the Statement for 2017, in June 2018 ENEA Group published a separate paper titled "2017 Sustainable Development Report of ENEA Group". Since 2011, the Group has also followed sustainable development and corporate social responsibility reporting practices.

In accordance with a 6-year good practice, on 27 July 2018, "ENEA Group Sustainability Report 2017" in the form of an interactive online platform covering the period from 1 January to 31 December 2017 was published. The new element in this year CSR report is the implementation of the international GRI Standards for the first time. One may become familiar with this document on a dedicated interactive website published in Polish and English.

The report presents the most important issues from the perspective of responsible business and sustainable development for the ENEA Group. They describe the range and nature of impact of Group's activity on the social environment and the investments which are implemented and planned by the Group for the protection of environment. The workers of all reporting companies participate in preparing data for the CSR report: both CSR coordinators in the companies belonging to the Group as well as the workers responsible for the key areas. The reporting process is coordinated by the dedicated organisational unit responsible for CSR in ENEA SA.

In January 2018, the winners of the 1st edition of the "ENEA Talent Academy" scholarship programme were announced, which lasted from September 2017 to January 2018 and was targeted to talents in the field of science, arts, and sports from primary schools (from the 5th grade up) and lower-secondary schools, in the area of operation of ENEA Group's companies, and a grant programme directed to public primary and lower-secondary schools in the area of operations of ENEA Group companies, implementing original projects to develop talents and skills of the pupils. Applications to the Talent Academy were accepted until 15 October, and the laureates will be announced on 10 January 2018. The winners were awarded scholarships of PLN 3,000, and the winning schools – grants amounting to PLN 10,000.

The winners included 22 young people from 11 primary schools and 11 lower-secondary schools. In both age categories, laureates in the field of science, arts, and sports were selected. In turn, the 9 winning schools were selected by Internet users.

In March 2018, a new social programme was launched across ENEA Group under the auspices of the ENEA's CEO – "Energy is in our blood". It is the first blood donation programme covering with its scope the whole ENEA Group, based on employee volunteering. Owing to the programme, it will be easier for the Employees willing to donate blood and help to share the gift of life with those in need. The social campaign of ENEA is planned for the whole 2018 in all major locations where the companies of the Group operate. In H1 2018, the "Energy is in our blood" campaigns were held in three locations where ENEA Group companies are active. The blood donation bus visited the companies operating at Strzeszyńska 58 in Poznań. It also went to Kozienice where the employees of ENEA Wytwarzanie and ENEA Trading joined the programme. The campaign was also held at ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec. In that way, we have collected 36 litres of blood, i.e. 80 units. The campaign is conducted in close cooperation with the Regional Blood Donation and Haemotherapy Centres in Poznań, Radom and Kielce. Each campaign is accompanied by programme promotional activities – information campaigns and meetings with specialists from the Regional Blood Donation and Haemotherapy Centre or honorary blood donors.

In H1 2018, the campaign "We Run – We Raise – We Help", initiated by Employees of ENEA Group, was continued. The campaign makes it possible for them to combine their passion for sport – running – with helping others, supports employee integration, and promotes of healthy life style in the Group. Owing to the commitment of the runners – volunteers from ENEA Group – it is possible to support local communities through development of amateur sport of children and youth. In 2018, Employees of ENEA Group, running in competitions organised all over Poland, collect points which are exchanged by the ENEA Foundation into funds earmarked for a social goal. In this year's edition, already 73 runners from 8 ENEA Group companies have joined the campaign. So far 76 running competitions over different distances have been completed. Runs over longer distances make it possible to win more points. Also the number of participants from ENEA Group influences the score. Higher scores can be achieved in competitions with at least 3 ENEA team members.

Final of ENEA Foundation's project – ENEA Talent Academy

Social programme - Energy is in our blood

Campaign "We Run – We Raise – WeHelp"

The ENEA Foundation programme: "ENEA Dla Pokoleń. Wspołnie o bezpieczeństwie". (Enea for Generations. Together about Safety).

"Dobra Energia Ponad Granicami" (Positive Energy Beyond Borders)

Grant programme – "Potęga poMocy" (The Power of Help) A workshop within the framework of the "ENEA Dla Pokoleń. Wspólnie O Bezpieczeństwie" programme was held in the first half of the year. The project is dedicated to the inhabitants of those municipalities in which the ENEA Group operates. The organisers of the project are: The ENEA Foundation, My50+ Association and the Greater Poland Headquarters of the State Fire Service in Poznan. As part of the Project, there will be 10 meetings held in 2018. The objective of this action is to ensure safety through education and raising consumer awareness, and to support fire protection among households. We understand educational activities mainly as meetings with senior citizens and multigenerational families, during which:

  • ✓ we will present examples of most common mistakes made by consumers and examples of fraudulent sales practices;
  • ✓ we will practice the appropriate reactions to sudden blackouts resulting from unexpected weather changes;
  • ✓ we will discuss fire hazards which can be encountered in a household, among others, we will discuss preventive actions related to asphyxiations with carbon monoxide and actions related to providing first aid.

This year in June, as part of the "Dobra Energia Ponad Granicami" project, a group of fifty children and teachers from Polish schools in Lithuania visited Poland in order to learn about the modern patriotism. During their three-week stay, the children and youth participated in workshops, lectures and meetings aimed at enriching their knowledge of the history and culture of Poland, education and the modern Polish language. It was the second edition of that project implemented by the Enea Foundation together with the Caritas organisation in Poznan.

An extraordinary event organised during the second edition of "Dobra Energia Ponad Granicami" was a musical and historical show entitled "Polska! Biało-Czerwoni ponad Granicami!". On June 6, young artists from Lithuania and three schools from the Wielkopolska Region performed on the stage of St John Paul II Roman Catholic Primary and Junior High School in Śrem. The talented children had only met for the first time a few hours before the event, in order to have only a few rehearsals and give an excellent concert, one that will long be remembered by the audience. The audience could listen to many patriotic songs – those well-known and those less popular.

The objective of the project is multigenerational integration of Poles and building bridges of friendship beyond borders. By visiting the Wielkopolska Region and integrating with their Polish counterparts, parents and youngsters are to be encouraged to choose Polish schools and to learn the Polish language, history, culture and tradition, which forge bonds with the motherland. With thisinitiative, the creators of the project wish to preserve the Polish identity.

In H1 2018, the grant programme "Potęga poMocy" (The Power of Help), carried out by the ENEA Foundation and dedicated to the Employees of ENEA Group, was continued. It enabled the Employees to submit a social initiative to be implemented with a social entity operating in the local community, and initiate projects offering real support to social stakeholders. In the first quarter of 2018, the first out of four editions planned for the present year was carried out. As part of each edition, the ENEA Foundation supports 3 social projects submitted by Employees of ENEA Group. The maximum support amount for a project is PLN 4,000.
