The table above includes the following changes in the structure of PGE Group companies subject to full consolidation which took place during the period ended June 30, 2021.

  • Rybnik 2050 sp.z o.o. w organizacji wasformed on February 1, 2021. The company was not yet registered at the National Court Register as of the date on which this report was prepared.
  • On March 1, 2021, an Extraordinary General Meeting of PGE Trading GmbH adopted a resolution to dissolve PGE Trading GmbH and appoint a liquidator to carry out liquidation. Due to the loss of control related to the liquidation, as of April 1, 2021 PGE Trading GmbH is no longer a part of PGE Group and is not subject to consolidation.
  • An agreement to sell allsharesin PGE EJ1 sp.z o.o. to the State Treasury wassigned on March 26, 2021.Ownership of the shares was transferred on March 31, 2021. In connection with this sale, PGE Group recorded a gross loss of PLN 19 million in its consolidated financialstatements.
  • On March 31, 2021 an Extraordinary General Meeting of PGE EO S.A. (acquiring company) and Extraordinary General Meeting of ECO - POWER sp. z o.o. (acquired company) adopted resolutions to merge the companies by transferring the entire assets of the acquired company to the acquiring company without issuing new shares by the acquiring company in exchange forsharesin the acquired company. The merger was registered at the National Court Register on April 30, 2021. The merger had no impact on these consolidated financialstatements.

The following joint ventures are subject to consolidation as regards the assets, equity and liabilities, revenues and costs attributable to PGE Group:

In May this year, Ørsted Group entities acquired stakes in the increased capital of Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica - 2 sp. z o.o. and Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica - 3 sp. z o.o. Following this transaction, Ørsted Group became a 50% shareholder in EWB2 and EWB3. In effect, PGE Group lost control overthese two companies.

As a result of the transaction and signed agreements, the shareholders have joint control over EWB2 and EWB3. Decisions regarding all major activities require unanimous consent from the shareholders. At the same time, based on professional judgement, PGE Group assessed that as a result of the agreements signed the shareholders have the right to generally all of the economic benefits that will be generated by the companies' assets and will generally be their only source ofrevenue. According to PGEGroup,starting from the date on which the stakes were acquired by Ørsted (as mentioned above), EWB2 and EWB3 constitute a joint operation in the meaning of IFRS Joint Arrangements, in connection with which in these financial statements PGE Group recognises its 50% stake in the assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of the jointly controlled entities.

On August 19, 2021 an Extraordinary General Meeting of ElectroMobility Poland S.A. adopted a resolution to decrease the company's share capital from PLN 70,000,000 to PLN 52,300,500, by reducing the nominal value of allsharesfrom PLN 7,000 to PLN 5,230.05 each. The goal of the share capital decrease is to transfer funds from share capital to supplementary capital, in connection with which the proceedsfromthe share capitaldecreasewill go to the company'ssupplementary capital.Moreover, onAugust 19, 2021 anExtraordinary General Meeting of ElectroMobility Poland S.A. adopted a resolution to increase the company'sshare capitalfromPLN52,300,500 to PLN 302,296,890. The company's Extraordinary General Meeting decided to waive the existing shareholders' pre-emption right completely and offer all of the new shares to the State Treasury in exchange for a cash contribution. As a result of the State Treasury becoming a shareholder of ElectroMobility Poland S.A., PGE S.A.'sstake in this company'sshare capital will decline from 25% to 4.33%. Atthe date on which these financialstatements were approved for publication, these changes were not yetregistered at the National Court Register.

2.4 Professionaljudgementofmanagementandestimates

In the process of applying accounting rulesin the mattersreferred to below, ofthe mostimportance, aside from accounting estimates, is the professional judgement of management, which has an impact on the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements, including in additional explanatory notes. The estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Management Board relating to current and future operations and events in specific areas. Detailed information on the assumptions made is presented below or in respective explanatory notes.

  • During the reporting period, PGE Group updated itsimpairment losses on assets, in particular of property, plant and equipment. These changes are described in note 3 to these financialstatements.
  • Estimates of the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment are based on a number of significant assumptions, the appearance of which is uncertain and mostly beyond PGE Group's control. The Group believes that it has assumed the most accurate volumes and values. Nevertheless, realisation of the particular assumptions may diverge from the ones established by the Group.
  • Provisions are liabilities of uncertain amount or timing. During the reporting period, the Group changed estimates regarding the validity or amounts of some provisions.
  • In particular, during the reporting period a provision for land rehabilitation and a provision for employee benefits were updated due to an increase in the discount rate. Details are presented in note 21 to these financialstatements.
  • Uncertainties concerning tax settlements are described in note 25 to these consolidated financialstatements.
  • No significant extensions in the payment of receivables or problems with liquidity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic were observed as of the reporting date. Following the pandemic's outbreak, in 2020 the Group updated its models for estimating expected credit losses. For the purposes of estimating the expected credit losses, counterparties were split into two groups: strategic counterparties, which have been internally assigned ratings based on a scoring model, and other counterparties, for which expected credit losses are estimated based on a provisions matrix. For the first group of counterparties, the basis for calculating expected credit losses was changed. Losses are currently calculated on the basis of Credit Default Swap (CDS) prices, while for the other group of counterparties percentage coefficients in each time interval of the provisions matrix were updated to a level corresponding to the current recovery rate for receivables. In effect of these two changes, the amount of provisions for expected credit losses at June 30, 2021 was PLN 13 million higher than it would have been had the previous rules been applied. A more extensive description of the impact of the pandemic on PGE Group's businessis presented in note 27.1 to these financialstatements.

3. Impairmenttestsonproperty,plant andequipment,intangibleassets,right-of-use assetsandgoodwill

Property, plant and equipment is PGE Group's most significant group of assets. Due to variable macroeconomic conditions PGE Group regularly verifies indications of impairment for its assets. When assessing the market situation PGE Group uses both its own analytical tools and independent think tanks' support. In previous reporting periods, PGE Group recognised substantial impairment allowances of property, plant and equipment of Conventional Generation segment, District Heating segment and the Renewables segment. An impairment lossrecognised in the Renewablessegment was also in major part reversed in previousreporting periods.

In the currentreporting period,theGroup analysed impairmentindications and identified factorsthat could resultin changesto the asset values in the Conventional Generation and Renewables segments. The tests showed no need to recognise an impairment loss for the Conventional Generation segment and the necessity to reverse the impairment loss for the Renewables segment. An analysis of the indicationsfor conducting impairment testsin the District Heating segment did notshow the need to conduct these tests.

Macroeconomic and other assumptions

The key price assumptions, i.e. the price of electricity, CO2 emission allowances, hard coal, natural gas, and assumptions related to production at most of the Group's installations were derived from a study prepared by an independent expert, taking into account own estimates based on the current marketsituation forthe first two years of the forecast.

The forecastsfor electricity prices expect a decline in price in 2022 in reference to 2021 prices, a major price hike in 2023 in comparison with 2022, a decline in 2024 in reference to 2023, and subsequently an annual increase of 6% on average in 2025-2029.

The price forecastsfor CO2 emission allowances expect amajorincrease in 2023 in comparisonwith 2022, an annual decline in 2024-2025 of 6.5% on average and an annual increase in 2026-2029 of 12.7% on average. A slight decrease is expected in 2030, in comparison with 2029, followed by stable growth at approx. 4% annually until 2040.

The forecastsfor hard coal prices expect a majorincrease in 2023 in reference to 2022, followed by an average annual growth of 2.8 until 2030.

The forecastsfornatural gasprices expect anincrease inprice in2022 in reference to 2021 prices, amajor pricehike in2023 incomparison with 2022, followed by an average annual growth of approx. 4.1% in subsequent years.

The price forecasts for certificates of origin for energy expect an increase in the first two years of the forecasts, followed by an average annual decline of approx. 9% in 2023-2031, which isrelated to the decreasing obligation to redeem these certificates.

The forecast for revenue from the capacity market for 2021-2025 is based on the results of completed main and additional auctions for these delivery periods, taking into account the joint balancing mechanism at PGE Group companies. From 2026, the forecast was developed by a teamof experts at PGE S.A. on the basis of assumptions concerning estimated future flowsfor generating units, based on, inter alia,results of a completed auction and forecastsfroman external expert. For one-year contractswith delivery fromJuly 1, 2025 and for multiannual contracts executed as part of the auction for 2025 and subsequent, the 550g CO2/kWH (EPS 550) emission criterion isin place, which in practice rules out all coal unitsfrom Capacity Market auctions.

Unit availability was estimated based on repair plans, taking into accountstatistical failure rates.

On February 2, 2021 the Council of Ministers approved "Poland's Energy Policy 2040." The Policy constitutes a vision for Poland in the area of energy transition, indicating, inter alia, the expected structure of electricity generating units. According to the Policy, the share of low- and zero-emission units will grow, while the share of coal-based units will decline.

However, the pace of the energy transition and trends expected in the PEP 2040 recently considerably accelerated and strengthened. In July 2021,the European Commission published the Fitfor 55 legislative package, which intendsto, inter alia,reduceGHG emissionsin the EU by 55% (previously 40%) by 2030, in comparison with 1990. In line with the expectations of market participants, the EU ETS reform included in the package should result in a considerable increase in the prices of CO2 emission allowances, which in practice already took place in thisfirst half ofthe year. In effect,the currentlevel of pricesfor CO2 emission allowancessignificantly divergesfromthat assumed in the PEP 2040. Another important element that vastly divergesfrom the Policy's assumptions is the dynamic increase in PV capacities as a result of numerous grant programs, a discountsystem for prosumers and renewable energy auctions. In effect, the level of installed capacities expected for 2030 has already been achieved.

In connection with the above, for the purposes of impairment tests on tangible assets, PGE Group uses assumptions developed by an independent analytical centre, which take into account the current regulatory and market situation. Future changes on the electricity market may differ from the current assumptions, which may lead to substantial changes in PGE Group's financial situation and results. They will be recognised in future financialstatements.

3.1 DescriptionofassumptionsfortheConventionalGenerationsegment

Impairmenttestswere conductedonJune 30, 2021, oncashgenerating unit basis by establishing theirrecoverable amounts.Determining fair value for very large groups of assetsfor which there is no active market and there are few comparable transactionsis very difficult in practice. In the case of complete power plants and mines for which a value on the local market should be determined there are no observable fair values. Given the above, the recoverable value of the analysed assets was estimated on the basis of discounted net cash flow method which relied on financial projections prepared for the period from July 2021 to the end of the use period. According to the Group, financial projections longer than five years are justified due to significant and long-term effects of projected changes in the regulatory environment. Using longer projections, recoverable amounts may be determined more reliably.

Detailed segment assumptions

Presented below are the key assumptions having impact on estimates of the useful value of CGU:

  • classify the following as one CGU due to technological links:
    • Branch KWB Bełchatów and Branch Elektrownia Bełchatów ("Bełchatów complex").
    • Branch KWB Turów and Branch Elektrownia Turów ("Turów complex").
  • classify Elektrownia Dolna Odra, Elektrownia Szczecin and Elektrownia Pomorzany, which are part of Branch Zespół Elektrowni Dolna Odra, asthree separate CGUs,
  • adopt the going concern assumption:
    • until 2036 for the Bełchatów complex based on a trade union-approved date for shutting down all units, adopted for the purposes of the Just Transition Plan for the Łódzkie Voivodship,
    • until 2044 for the Turów complex based on a decision to prolong the mining concession validity period to 2044 of April 28, 2021.
  • adopt the assumption that in the period after June 2025 there will be support from the capacity market or equivalent for units complying with the emission criterion of 550 g CO2/kWh of produced electricity, althoughmultiannual contracts executed as part of auctions for 2021-2024 are performed in accordance with their validity periods; for units that do not meet the emission criterion, there isthe possibility of balancing multiannual contracts executed by 2019,
  • take into account work cost optimisation resulting from current work plans, among other things,
  • maintain production capacities as a result of replacement-type investments,
  • adopt WACC after tax for the projection period at 6.06%-7.56%, depending on the CGU, in accordance with an individually estimated level of risk.

PGE Group's surroundings are characterised by high volatility and dependence on macroeconomic, market and regulatory conditions, and any changes in this regard may have a substantial impact on PGE Group's financial situation and results. This is why the above and other assumptions adopted in estimates of the useful value of assets are subject to periodic analysis and verification. Potential changes will be recognised in future financialstatements.

As at June 30, 2021, the value of tested property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at PGE GiEK S.A. amounted to PLN 25,910 million. This value does not include CGUs for which the useful value of tested assets is negative. As a result of an asset impairment test, the Group estimated the useful value ofthe assets being tested at PLN31,368million, in connection with which it concluded thatthere is no need to recognise orreverse impairment losses on these assets.

Sensitivity analysis

In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment, the Group carried out a sensitivity analysis for generating units in the Conventional Generation segment.

Presented below isthe impact of changesin key assumptions on the useful value of assetsin the Conventional Generation segment as at June 30, 2021.

Impact on useful value in PLNbn
Parameter Change Increase Decrease
1% 1.8 -
Change in electricity prices throughout the forecast period -1% - 1.8

A decline in electricity price by 1% would have caused a PLN 1.8 billion decrease in useful value.

Impact on useful value in PLNbn
Parameter Change Increase Decrease
+0.5pp - 0.9
Change in WACC -0.5pp 1.0 -

An increase in WACC by 0.5 points would have caused a PLN 0.9 billion decrease in useful value.

Impact on useful value in PLNbn
Parameter Change Increase Decrease
1% - 1.0
Changes in prices for CO2 emission allowances -1% 1.0 -

An increase in the price of CO2 emission allowances by 1% would have caused a PLN 1 billion decrease in useful value.

3.2 AnalysisofimpairmentindicationsintheDistrictHeatingsegment

In previous reporting periods, PGE Group recognised substantial impairment losses on the non-current assets in the District Heating segment. The key assumptions used in the impairment tests carried out as at November 30, 2020 are described in PGE Group's consolidated financialstatementsfor 2020.

In the currentreporting period, the Group performed an analysis of indicationsin orderto determine whetherthese assets are impaired orthe earlierimpairment losses may be reversed.

The most important factors analysed include:

  • financial plan analysis,
  • confirmation that the investment plan is up-to-date,
  • analysis of prices for energy, hard coal, CO2 emission allowances and natural gas
  • analysis of heat prices,
  • analysis of assumptionsregarding the capacity market, support for cogeneration
  • analysis of estimated margins on the production and sale of electricity in future periodsin the light of price forecastsfor energy, hard coal, gas and CO2 emission allowances.

The analysis of indications performed forthe District Heating segmentshowed that the generating units are implementing theirfinancial plan in accordance with assumptions. Price forecasts for natural gas, electricity, hard coal, gas and CO2 emission allowances that are available to PGE Group mean that margin forecasts are favourable for both the sale of electricity and heat. The cogeneration support system for gas units has been reduced, howeverit has been replaced with supportin the formofthe capacity market,therefore this gives no rise to the risk of significant changes in useful values. Assumptions concerning the capacity market, in comparison to 2020, have a positive impact on forecastrevenue from the program, having been updated to include completed auctions. Given the above, according to PGE, atthe end ofthe reporting period there were no indicationsthat would warrantthe recognition ofimpairmentlosses on the noncurrent assetsin the District Heating segment orthe reversal of impairment lossesrecognised in previous periods.

3.3 DescriptionofassumptionsfortheRenewablessegment

In the presentreporting period, PGE Group conducted asset impairment tests as of June 30, 2021.

The following cash generating units are identified and analysed in the Renewablessegment:

  • Considered as separate CGU belonging to PGE EO S.A.
    • total pumped-storage power plants
    • total other hydropower plants
    • individual wind farms owned by PGE EO S.A.
    • individual wind farms owned by PGE Klaster sp.z o.o.

Impairment tests on the non-current assets of CGU PGE EO S.A.

Impairment tests were conducted as at June 30, 2021, on cash generating unit basis by establishing their recoverable amounts. The recoverable value of the analysed assets was estimated on the basis of discounted net cash flow method which relied on the financial projections prepared for the assumed useful life of the particular CGU in the case of wind farms or for 2021-2030 in the case of other

CGUs. For CGUs with expected periods of economic useful lives in excess of 2030, a residual value was determined for the remaining service time. According to the Group, financial projectionslongerthan five years are justified because the property, plant and equipment used by the Group have significantly longer useful lives and also due to considerable and long-term effects of projected changes in the regulatory environment included in the detailed forecast.

Detailed assumptions

Presented below are the key assumptions having impact on estimates of the useful value of CGU:

  • classification as a separate CGU of the following:
    • pumped-storage plants(one CGU for all plants due to their shared economic nature);
    • other hydropower plants(one CGU for all plants due to their shared economic nature);
    • individual wind farms(separate CGU for each wind farm due to different operational periods);
  • production of electricity and property rights were estimated based on historic data, adjusted by the availability of units;
  • unit availability was estimated based on repair plans, taking into account statistical failure rates;
  • revenue from regulatory system services until mid-2023 were estimated based on the currently functioning system of remuneration for these services, from mid-2023 it is expected that the market mechanism for contracting regulatory services will start functioning, the revenuesfrom which have been estimated based on PGE Group'sinternal analyses;
  • maintain production capacities as a result of replacement-type investments;
  • adopt WACC after tax for the projection period at 6.56%.

As a result of the non-current asset impairment test, the Group identified the need to release (reverse) impairment lossesrecognised in previousreporting periods on wind farms as of the reporting date.

PGE Group's surroundings are characterised by high volatility and dependence on macroeconomic, market and regulatory conditions, and any changes in this regard may have a substantial impact on PGE Group's financial situation and results. This is why the above and other assumptions adopted in estimates of the useful value of assets are subject to periodic analysis and verification. Potential changes will be recognised in future financialstatements.

The following table presentsthe value of impairmentreversal as of June 30, 2021 asregards wind farms.

Sensitivity analysis

A sensitivity analysisshowed that factorssuch as WACC and electricity prices have a considerable impact on estimated useful value. The results of thissensitivity analysis concern all CGUs owned by PGE EO S.A.

Presented below isthe impact of factorsthat have considerable influence throughout the entire projection period on forecast cash flows and thus also on estimated useful values.

Impact on useful value in PLNm
Parameter Change Increase Decrease
1% 67 -
Change in electricity prices throughout the forecast period -1% - 67

A decline in electricity price by 1% would have caused a PLN 67 million decrease in useful value.

Parameter Change Impact on useful value in PLNm
Increase Decrease
+0.5pp - 1,077
Change in WACC -0.5pp 1,375 -

An increase in WACC by 0.5 points would have caused a PLN 1.077 million decrease in useful value. A change in WACC by 0.5 points has no impact on the amount of impairment orreversal.

Impairment tests on the non-current assets of CGU PGE Klastersp.z o.o.

Impairment tests were conducted as at June 30, 2021, on cash generating unit basis by establishing their recoverable amounts. The recoverable value of the analysed assets was estimated on the basis of discounted net cash flow method which relied on the financial projections prepared forthe assumed useful life of the wind farms.

Detailed assumptions

  • production of electricity is assumed on the basis of assumptionsfor the investment model,
  • adopt WACC in the period ofsupport in the form of auction price at 5.06% and in the remainder of the projection at 6.56%.

As a result of the non-current asset impairment test, the Group identified the need to release (reverse) impairment lossesrecognised in previousreporting periods on wind farms as of the reporting date.

The following table presentsthe value of impairmentreversal as of June 30, 2021 asregards wind farms owned by PGE Klastersp.z o.o.

An increase in WACC by 0.5 points would have caused a PLN 50 million decrease in useful value. A change in WACC by 0.5 points has no impact on the amount of impairment orreversal.

4. Changesinaccountingprinciplesanddatapresentation

New standards and interpretationsthat went into force on January 1, 2021

The accounting principles (policy) applied in preparing these financial statements are consistent with those applied in preparing the financial statements for 2020. The following amendments to IFRSs are applied in these financial statements in line with their effective dates. The following amendments did not have a material impact on the presented and disclosed financial information or were not applicable to the Group'stransactions:

  • Amendmentsto IFRS 4 Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9;
  • Amendmentsto IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase II.

The Group decided not to apply early any standard, interpretation or amendment that was published but is not yet effective in the light of EU regulations.

5. Fair valuehierarchy

Derivatives

The Groupmeasures derivatives at fair value using valuationmodelsforfinancial instruments based on publicly available exchange rates, interestrates, discount curvesin particular currencies(applicable also for commodities which prices are denominated in these currencies) derived from active markets. The fair value of derivatives is determined based on discounted future cash flows from transactions, calculated based on the difference between the forward rate and transaction price. Forward exchange rates are not modelled as a separate risk factor, but are derived from the spotrate and appropriate forward interestrate forforeign currenciesin relation to PLN.

In the category of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the Group presents financial instruments related to greenhouse gas emissionstrading – currency and commodity forwards, contractsto buy and sell coal, commodity swaps(Level 2).

In addition, the Group presents a CIRRUS derivative instrument that hedges foreign exchange rate and interest rate and IFRS hedging transactions exchanging a variable interest in PLN for a fixed interestrate in PLN (Level 2).

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EXPLANATORY NOTES TO OPERATING SEGMENTS

6. Informationonoperating segments

PGE Group companies conduct their business activities based on relevant concessions, including primarily concession on: production, trading and distribution of electricity, generation, transmission and distribution of heat, granted by the President of Energy Regulatory Office and concessionsforthe extraction oflignite deposits, granted by the Minister ofthe Environment. Concessions, as a rule, are being issued forthe period between 10 and 50 years.

Relevant assets are assigned to concessions for lignite mining and generation and distribution of electricity and heat, as presented in detailed information on operating segments. For its concessions concerning electricity and heat, the Group pays annual fees dependent on the level of turnover, while lignite mining operations under concessions are subject to extraction fees depending on the current rate and volume of output as well as mining use fees.

PGE Group presents information on operating segments in the current and comparative reporting period in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. PGE Group'ssegment reporting is based on the following businesssegments:

  • Conventional Generation, comprising exploration and production of lignite, conventional generation of electricity and ancillary services.
  • District Heating, comprising the generation of electricity from cogeneration sources and the transmission and distribution of heating.
  • Renewables, comprising the generation of electricity in pumped-storage power plants and from renewable sources.
  • Supply, comprising selling and buying electricity and natural gas on wholesale markets, emissions trading, buying and supplying fuels as well as selling electricity and providing services to end users.
  • Distribution, comprising management over local distribution networks and transmission of electricity.
  • Circular Economy, comprising management of the by-products of combustion.
  • Other operations, comprising services provided by subsidiariesfor the Group, e.g. capital raising, IT services, accounting and HR, and transportservices and investments in startups.

PGEGroup is organised andmanaged in segmentsthat are distinctin terms of products and services. Each segmentrepresents a strategic business unit that offers distinct goods and serves different markets. Entities assigned to operating segments are described in note 1.3 of these consolidated financialstatements. PGE Group accountsfor inter-segment transactions asif they concerned unrelated entities- on market terms. When analysing the results of businesssegmentsthe management of PGE Group focuses mainly on EBITDA.

Starting in 2021, PGE Group reports a new operating segment - Circular Economy - the assets and results of which were recognised and analysed within the following segments: Conventional Generation, District Heating and Other Operations. The data for the comparative period was notrestated.

Seasonality of businesssegments

Key factorsaffectingthedemandforelectricity andheatingare:weather conditions–airtemperature,windforce,rainfall;socio-economic factors – number of energy consumers, prices of energy sources, GDP growth; and technological factors – technological progress, manufacturing technologies. Each of these factors has an impact on technical and economic conditions of production, distribution and transmission of energy carriers, thusinfluence the results obtained by PGE Group.

The level of electricity sales variesthroughout the year, depending especially on weather conditions- airtemperature, length of the day. Growth in electricity demand is particularly evident in winter periods, while lower demand is observed during the summer months. Moreover,seasonal changes are evident among selectedgroupsof end users. Seasonality effects aremore significantfor householdsthan forthe industrialsector.

In the Renewables segment, electricity is generated from natural resources such as water, wind and sun. Weather conditions are an important factor affecting electricity generation in thissegment.

Sales of heat depend in particular on air temperature and are higherin winter and lowerin summer.

The amount of the provision recognised in the financial statementsincludesthe value of the Mine Liquidation Fund created in accordance with the Geological and Mining Law. The value of the provision as at June 30, 2021 amounted to PLN 6,134 million and as at December 31, 2020 to PLN 7,463million.

Provisionsfor wind farm decommissioning and restoration

Wind farmowners create provisionsfor decommissioning and restoration. As atJune 30, 2021,this provision amounted to PLN30million (PLN 71 million atthe end of the comparative period).

Liquidation of property, plant and equipment

As at the reporting date, the provision amounted to PLN 275 million (PLN 259 million as at the end of the comparative period) and refers to certain assetsin the Conventional Generation and Renewablessegments.

21.3 Provisionfor costofCO2 emissions

As described in note 15 to these financial statements, the Group no longer receives free emission allowances for electricity generation from 2020. The Group is only eligible to receive free allowances for heating generation. As at June 30, 2021, this provision amounted to PLN 4,030million (PLN 6,318 million at the end of the comparative period).

21.4 Provisionforenergyoriginrightsheldforredemption

PGE Group companies create a provision for energy origin rights concerning sales generated in the reporting period or previous periods, in the part yet to be redeemed as of the reporting date. The total value of provision as at June 30, 2021 was PLN 491 million (PLN 589 million in the comparative period) and was created mainly by PGE Obrót S.A.

21.5 Provisionfor claims concerningnon-contractualuseofproperty

PGE Group companies recognise a provision for claims related to the non-contractual use of property. This issue mainly concerns the distribution company that owns distribution networks. As at the reporting date the provision amounted to approximately PLN 51 million (ofwhichPLN27millionrelate to litigations). Inthe comparativeperiod,theprovisionamountedto PLN63million(ofwhich PLN32million related to litigations).

21.6 Settlementswithprosumers

2020 saw a considerable increase in the number of prosumer installations, mainly due to the assistance available in the "My electricity" program. According to the Energy Market Agency, installed PV capacity in Poland grew by 117% to 5.36 GW in H1 2021 vs. 2.46 GW in the same period of last year. The act on renewable energy sources of February 20, 2015 introduced a settlement system for prosumers and energy cooperatives that generates losses for the obligated vendor (i.e. PGE Obrót S.A.); the higher the percentage of electricity introduced to the grid that is compensated by the prosumer's or energy cooperative's own use, the higher these losses are.

Therefore,theprosumer doesnotincur any variable costsofdistribution servicesfor energy drawnfromthegrid. Companiesinthe Supply segment, which aremerely intermediariesin the sale of distribution services, have to pay the fullfee for electricity drawn by the prosumer to the Distribution System Operator. Companies in the Supply segment, despite the fact that they do not provide distribution services, have to bearthe costsrelated to these services because they are a party to a comprehensive contract with the customer.

PGE Obrót S.A.'s growing losses due to feesfor distribution services are giving rise to deliberations on recognising provisionsfor onerous contracts. However, due to the difficulty in estimating the number of prosumer installations being built, their capacity and consumption as well as their operational period and potential new regulations, calculating credible results may be subject to significant errors. Moreover, taking into account the fact that losses on contracts with prosumersresult from systemic regulations, these contractsshould be analysed together with contractsthat PGE Obrót S.A. isrequired to perform as an obligated vendor, according to the Group.

In connection with the above, the conditionsto create provisionsfor onerous contractsin the meaning of IAS 37 were not met as of the reporting date.

Contingentreturn of grantsfrom environmental funds

The liabilities represent the value of possible future returns of funds received by PGE Group companies from environmental funds for selected investments. The funds will be returned if the investments for which they were granted do not achieve the expected environmental outcomes.

Legal claims

In connection with the sale of shares in PGE EJ1 sp. z o.o. to the State Treasury and in accordance with an agreement determining the responsibility of the former shareholders as regards the costs of a dispute with Worley Parsons, if the dispute is lost, PGE S.A. may be required to coverthe cost ofthe dispute of up to PLN98million. The probability oflosing the dispute was estimated in orderto determine the fair value of the payment received. In effect, PLN 59 million was recognised under contingent liabilities and PLN 39 million in noncurrent provisions. The amount of the provision adjusted the result on the sale ofshares as presented in these financialstatements.

Bank guarantee liabilities

These liabilities represent bank guarantees provided as security for exchange transactions resulting from membership in the clearinghouse IRGiT.

Usufruct of land

Contingent liabilities pertaining to the usufruct of land are related to an update of annual fees for the usufruct of land. PGE GiEK S.A.'s branches have appealed the decisions in Local Appeals Courts. The contingent liability is measured as the difference between the discounted sum of the updated feesfor usufruct of land throughout the entire period of the usufruct and the perpetual usufruct of land liability recognised in accounts based on previousfees.

24.2 Othersignificantissuesrelatedtocontingentliabilities

Non-contractual use of property

Asdescribedinnote21.5tothese financialstatements,PGEGrouprecognises aprovisionfordisputesunder courtproceedings concerning non-contractual use of propertiesfor distribution activities. In addition, PGEGroup is a party to disputes at an earlierstage of proceedings, and it cannot be ruled out that the volume and value ofsimilar disputes will increase in the future.

Contractual liabilitiesrelated to purchase of fuels

In accordance with fuel purchase agreements (mainly coal and gas), PGE Group is required to collect a minimum volume of fuel and to not exceed the maximum gas uptake levels in specific periods. Failure to uptake the contractual minimum volume of fuel may result in the necessity to pay fees (in case of gas fuel, volumes that have been paid for but not collected can be collected in the next three contractual years).

According to PGE Group, the terms of fuel delivery to its generating assets as described above do not diverge from the terms of delivery to other powerstationsin Poland.

24.3 Contingentreceivables

As at the reporting date, PGE Group held PLN 72 million in contingentreceivablesrelated to a potentialrefund of excess excise duty. The Group is waiting for a ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court on what excise duty rate should be applied in settling the excise duty relief related to the redemption of property rights created in renewable energy sources priorto January 1, 2019.

According toPGEGroup,thisreliefshould be settledusing the rate applicable atthe time the electricity generatedfromrenewable sources issoldto the endcustomer,i.e. 20PLN/MWh. Thiswas confirmedina rulingby theVoivodshipAdministrativeCourtinRzeszówofOctober 8, 2019.

The tax authority issued a cassation appeal against thisruling by the Voivodship Administrative Court on November 20, 2019.

24.4 Other court casesanddisputes

Compensation for conversion ofshares

Former shareholders of PGE GiEK S.A. petitioned the courts to summon PGE S.A. to conciliatory hearings concerning payment of compensation forincorrect(in theiropinion) determination ofthe exchange ratio ofshares of PGEGórnictwo i Energetyka S.A. into shares of PGE S.A. during a consolidation processthattook place in 2010. The total value of claimsresulting from these summonsto conciliatory hearingslodged by formershareholders of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. exceeds PLN 10 million.

Regardless ofthe above, onNovember 12, 2014 SocratesInvestment S.A. (an entity which purchased claimsfrom former PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A.shareholders) filed a lawsuitseeking more than PLN 493 million in compensation (plusinterest) for damagesincurred in respect of incorrect(in their opinion) determination ofthe exchange ratio ofsharesin themerger of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. and PGE S.A. The Company filed a response to the lawsuit, and first-instance proceedings are in progress. A hearing to appoint a court expert was held on November 20, 2018. A first-instance court proceeding is currently under-way. In a ruling dated April 19, 2019 the court appointed experts to draft an opinion on this matter. The experts' opinion was not yet drafted as of the date on which these financial statements were prepared. The date of the next hearing will be set ex officio.

Furthermore, a similar claim was raised by Pozwy sp. z o.o., an entity that purchased claims from former PGE Elektrownia Opole S.A. shareholders. Pozwy sp.z o.o. filed a claim atthe District Courtin Warsaw against PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A., PGE S.A. and PwC Polska sp.z o.o.("Defendants"), demanded fromtheDefendants, in solidum, orjointly damagesfor Pozwy sp.z o.o.totalling over PLN 260 million with interest for allegedly incorrect (in its opinion) determination of the exchange ratio for PGE Elektrownia Opole S.A. shares for PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A. shares in a merger of these companies. This lawsuit was delivered to PGE S.A. on March 9, 2017, and the deadline for responding to it wasset by the court as July 9, 2017. PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A. filed a response to the suit on July 8 2017.On September 28, 2018,the District Courtin Warsaw ruled in the firstinstance -the lawsuit by Pozwy sp. z o.o. against PGE S.A., PGE GiEK S.A. and PWC Polska sp. z o.o. was rejected. On April 8, 2019 PGE S.A. received a copy of an appeal lodged by the claimant on December 7, 2018. A response to the appeal was drafted on April 23, 2019. A hearing was held on December 21, 2020. The Appeals Court ruled to repeal the District Court's ruling in its entirety and referred the case to the District Court for reexamination. On January 22, 2021 PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A. appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court, requesting that the appealed ruling be repealed entirely and the case referred to the Appeals Court forre-examination. At a closed-door hearing on April 27, 2021 the Supreme Courtreversed the judgement. The case wasreturned to be re-examined by the Appeals Court. A justification forthe Supreme Courtruling wasreceived by PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A. on June 24, 2021. The Appeals Court meeting date is September 30, 2021.

PGE Group companies do not accept the claims being raised by Socrates Investment S.A., Pozwy sp. z o.o. and the rest of shareholders requesting conciliatory settlements. According to PGE S.A., these claims are groundless and the entire consolidation process was conducted fairly and correctly. The value ofsharessubject to the process of consolidation was established by an independent firm, PwC Polska sp. z o.o. Additionally, the merger plans of these companies, including the exchange ratios, were examined for accuracy and reliability by an expert appointed by the registration court; no irregularities were found. Then, the court registered the mergers of the aforementioned companies.

PGE Group did not create a provision forthis claim.

Termination by Enea S.A. of long-term energy origin rightssale contracts

In 2016, PGE GiEK S.A., PGE EO S.A. and PGE Energia Natury PEW sp.z o.o. (acquired by PGE EO S.A.) received statementsfrom Enea S.A. regarding the terminationoflong-termcontractsforthe saleofrenewable energy originrights,the so-called"greencertificates." Justifying the termination, Enea S.A. claimed that the companiessignificantly breached the provisions of these contracts, i.e. failed to re-negotiate contractual provisionsinaccordancewith the adaptive clause, asrequested by Enea S.A. in July 2015 inconnectionwith anallegedchange in legalregulations having impact on performance of these contracts.

According to PGEGroup,the noticesterminating the contractssent by Enea S.A. were submitted in breach of contractual obligations. The companies took appropriate steps to enforce their rights. With Enea S.A. refusing to perform these long-term contracts to purchase property rights resulting from certificates of origin received by PGE Group companies in connection with the production of renewable energy, PGE GiEK S.A. and PGE Energia Natury PEW sp.z o.o. demanded from Enea S.A. the payment of contractual penalties, while PGE EO S.A. demanded payment of compensation for damages. In October 2020, at the request of the parties, the court proceedings were suspended in connection with the intention to hold mediation sessions as an alternative dispute resolution. In 2021, the parties to the disputessubmitted them for conciliation by the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Poland.

Due to the factthat according to PGE Group the declarationsterminating the contracts presented by Enea S.A. were submitted in breach of contractual terms, as at June 30, 2021 the Group recognised contractual penalty receivables of PLN 164million (recognised entirely as revenue in previous reporting periods). According to PGE Group companies, based on available legal analysis, a favourable resolution in the above disputesis more probable than a negative resolution.

In addition, PGE GiEK S.A., PGE Energia Natury, PEW sp.z o.o. (acquired by PGE EO S.A.) and PGE EO S.A. filed lawsuits against Enea S.A. for the payment of receivables totalling PLN 47 million concerning invoices issued to Enea S.A. for the sale of property rights based on these contracts. Enea S.A. refused to pay these receivables, claiming that they were offset by receivables from the Group's companies relatedto compensationfor allegeddamages arising as a resultofthe companies'failure to re-negotiate the contracts.According toGroup companies,such offsets are groundless because Enea S.A.'sreceivables concerning the payment of compensation never arose and there are no groundsfor acknowledging Enea S.A.'s claim that the companies breached contractual provisions. InOctober 2020, at the request oftheparties,the court proceedingswere suspendedinconnectionwiththe intentionto holdmediationsessions as analternative dispute resolution. In 2021, the parties to the disputes submitted them for conciliation by the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Poland.

25. Tax settlements

Taxobligations andrights are specifiedin theConstitutionoftheRepublic of Poland,tax regulations andratifiedinternational agreements. According tothetax code,tax isdefinedas public,unpaid,obligatory andnon-returnablecashliability towardthe StateTreasury,provincial or other regional authorities resulting from the tax regulation. Taking into account the subject criterion, the current taxes in Poland can be divided into five groups: income tax, turnovertax, asset tax, activity tax and otherfees not classified elsewhere.

From the point of view of business entities, the most important is the taxation of incomes (corporate income tax), taxation of turnover (value added tax, excise tax) followed by taxation of assets (real estate tax and vehicle tax). Other payments classified as quasi – taxes must also be mentioned Among these there are socialsecurity charges.

Basic tax rates were asfollowsin 2021: corporate income tax rate – 19%, forsmaller enterprises a 9% rate is possible; basic value added tax rate – 23%, reduced: 8%, 5%, 0%, furthermore some goods and products are subject to a VAT tax exemption.

The tax system in Poland is characterised by significant volatility and complexity of tax regulations, steep potential penalties for tax offences or crimes. Tax settlements and other activity areas subject to regulations (customs or currency controls) may be the subject of inspections by relevant authorities authorised to issue fines and penalties with interest. These inspections may cover tax settlementsfor a five-year period afterthe end of calendar yearin which the tax was due.

Tax group

An agreement for a tax group named PGK PGE 2015, represented by PGE S.A., was signed on September 18, 2014, for a period of 25 years. An annex to the tax group agreement wassigned on July 28, 2021, which reduced the agreement validity period from25 to 7 years.

Companies included in the tax group must meet a number of requirements covering: appropriate level of equity, parent's stake in taxgroup companies of atleast 75%, lack of capitalties between subsidiaries, no tax arrears, an earnings-to-salesratio of atleast 2% (counted at tax group level), and execution of transactions with related parties from outside the tax group only on market terms. Violating these requirements would mean the dissolution of the tax group and loss of its taxpayer status. When the tax group is dissolved, each of its member companies becomes an individual payer of corporate incometax.Due to the introduction oflawsintended to combatthe effects of COVID-19, the requirement to have an earnings-to-salesratio of at least 2% was waived for 2020.

VAT split payment mechanism,requirement to make paymentsto accountsregistered with tax offices

The Group intends to effectively use the funds received from counterparties in VAT accounts to pay its liabilities that contain VAT. The level of funds in these VAT accounts on any given day depends mainly on how many of PGE Group's counterparties decide to use this mechanism and the relation between the payment deadlinesforreceivables and liabilities. As of June 30, 2021 the cash balance in these VAT accountstotalled PLN 76 million.

Reporting of tax arrangements(MDR)

In 2019, new regulationsintroduced mandatory reporting of tax arrangements(Mandatory Disclosure Rules- MDR). A tax arrangement should be understood as any activity of which the main or one of the main benefitsisis the obtaining of a tax advantage. Moreover, tax arrangements include eventsthat have general hallmarks or various specific hallmarks, as defined in regulations. Three types of entities are subject to the reporting obligation: promoter, supporter and beneficiary. MDR regulations are complex and imprecise in numerous areas, which givesrise to interpretation doubts asto their practical application.

Excise tax

In connection with an incorrect implementation of EU regulationsin the Polish legal system, PGE GiEK S.A. in 2009 initiated proceedings regarding reimbursement of improperly paid excise tax for the period January 2006 - February 2009. The irregularity consisted of taxing electricity at the firststage ofsale, i.e. by producers, whereassalesto end usersshould have been taxed.

Examining the company's complaints with regard to the restitution claims against decisionsissued by tax authoritiesrefusing to confirm overpayment of excise tax, administrative courtsruled that the company did not bearthe economic burden of the improperly calculated excise tax (which in the context ofthe resolution by the Supreme Administrative Court of June 22, 2011, file no. I GPS 1/11, precludesthe return of overpaid amounts). According to the Supreme Administrative Court, the claims that the company sought, especially using economic analyses, are of an offsetting nature and therefore may be sought only in civil courts. Given the above, PGE GiEK S.A. decided to withdraw from the proceedings asregardsrestitution claims. Activities concerning the excess excise tax are currently being conducted in civil courts. On January 10, 2020 the District Court in Warsaw issued a ruling in a case brought by PGE GiEK against the State Treasury - Minister of Finance. The court dismissed the case.On February 3, 2020 the company filed an appeal with the Court of Appealsin Warsaw against the first-instance ruling. The session was held on December 2, 2020, after which the Court of Appeals in Warsaw rejected PGE GiEK's appeal in a ruling dated December 17, 2020. On April 23, 2021, PGE GiEK S.A. submitted a cassation complaint to the Supreme Court.On May 20, 2021 PGE GiEK received a response from the general prosecutor's office regarding the company's cassation complaint.

Given the significant uncertainty over the final ruling in this issue, the Group does not recognise in its financial statements any effects related to potential compensation in civil courtsin connection with the improperly paid excise tax.

Real estate tax

Real estate tax constitutes a considerable burden for certain PGEGroupcompanies. Regulations on the real estate tax are unclearin some areas and give rise to a range of interpretation doubts. Tax authorities such as municipality head, city mayor or president, often issue inconsistent tax interpretations in substantively similar cases. This means that PGE Group companies were and can be parties in proceedings relating to real estate tax. If the Group concludes that an adjustment of settlements is probable as a result of such a proceeding, it creates an appropriate provision.

Uncertainty concerning tax settlements

Regulations concerning tax on goods and services, corporate income tax and burdensrelated to social insurance are subject to changes. These frequent changes result in a lack of reference points, inconsistent interpretations and few precedents that can be applied. The existing regulations also contain uncertainties that result in differing opinions as to legal interpretation of tax regulations both between state organs and between state organs and companies.

Tax settlements and other activity areas are conditioned by regulations (customs or currency controls) and can be subject to controls of respective authoritiesthat are authorised to issue fines and penalties, and all additional tax liabilities resulting from such audits must be paid with high interest. This meansthat tax risk in Poland is higherthan in countries with more stable tax systems.

As a consequence,the amounts presented and disclosed in financialstatementsmay change in the future as a result of a final decision by a tax control organ.

The Tax Ordinance Act contains provisions from the General Anti-Abuse Clause (GAAR). GAAR is intended to prevent the formation and use of artificial legal structures created in order to avoid paying tax in Poland. GAAR defines tax avoidance as an activity performed primarily to obtain a tax benefit contrary under the circumstances to the subject and aim of the tax law. According to GAAR, such an activity does notresultin a tax benefitif itis artificial. All proceedingsregarding unjustified division of operations, involving intermediaries despite a lack of economic justification, mutually offsetting elements or other similar activities may be treated as a condition for the existence of artificial activitiessubject to GAAR. These new regulations willrequire a much greaterjudgement in assessing the tax effects of transactions.

TheGAAR clause isto be applied in relation to transactions executed afterits entry into force and to transactionsthat were executed prior to its entry into force but in the case of which tax benefits were or continue to be obtained after GAAR went into force. The implementation of these regulations will make it possible for Polish tax inspection authorities to question legal arrangements and agreements made by taxpayerssuch as group restructuring and reorganisation.

The Group recognises and measures current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities using IAS 12 Income tax based on profit (tax loss), tax base, unsettled tax losses, unused tax exemptions and tax rates, taking into account assessment of uncertainties related to tax settlements. If there is uncertainty over where or not and in whatscope the tax authority will accept tax accounting fortransactions, the Group recognisesthese settlementstaking into account an uncertainty assessment.

27.1 ImpactofCOVID-19onPGEGroup'sbusiness

PGE is identifying risk factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that affect the Group's results on an on-going basis. The pandemic's impact on financialresultsremained limited in the first half of 2021. Further potential events and theirscale are difficult to estimate. The duration, intensity and reach of the pandemic will be ofsignificance, as well asthe pandemic'simpact on economic growth in Poland. At the same time, preparing precise estimate is difficult due to a variety of otherfactors having an impact on the electricitymarket, including demand for electricity.

The onset of the pandemic caused an economic slowdown in 2020 globally and in Poland. Currently, following a lockdown of the Polish economy, the economic situation isimproving. This can be seen in the major increase in GDP and industrial production in Q2 2021 on a year-on-year basis.

Nonetheless, the re-introduction of restrictions could result in reduced economic activity, which would give rise to a temporarily lower domestic consumption of electricity, which in turn would reduce revenue and margins on the generation, distribution and sale of energy intheConventional Energy,Distribution, Supply andDistrictHeating segments.Most oftheproductionin2021was contractedinprevious years, which is why the potential negative impact of lower volumesin the Conventional Energy segment would largely be limited.

If the pandemic intensifies, the Supply segment is at risk of falling demand for electricity, which could translate into lower sales to end customers and a higher cost of electricity balancing. In the Distribution segment, a lower volume ofsuppliesto end customers could also directly lead to lowerrevenue.

On June 30, 2021, the impact of a predicted increase in payment backlogs, especially in receivables from SMEs, was not material. As described innote 2.4 to these consolidated financialstatements,theGrouphasrecognisedadditional impairmentlossesof PLN13million. Depending on the further development of the pandemic and economic situation, liquidity risk and the risk of higher impairment of overdue receivables at PGE Group still exist and are being monitored on an on-going basis. The Group currently does not expect thisrisk to become material and has not identified liquidity risk.

PGE Group owns facilities of strategic importance from the viewpoint of uninterrupted generation and supply of electricity and heat in Poland. TheCOVID-19 pandemic has changed thewaywork isorganised, especiallywith regard to PGEGroup's generating assets. Inmany instances,this givesrise to additional costs, including for example the purchase of protective equipmentfor employees. Since the start of the pandemic, the Group has work rules in place that are aimed at reducing the risk of infection for employees as much as possible. As one of the largest employers in Poland, with more than 40 000 employees, PGE Group is undertaking a range of corporate and work organisation efforts intended to ensure operational continuity, protection of employee health and life, including remote and rotational work, raising awareness of the basic rulesfor protecting against COVID-19, prevention and quarantine.

PGE Group is constantly performing communication activities for employees, intended to build awareness of the positive impact of vaccinations - both individual and societal. Furthermore, internal communication is maintained in connection with the course of the pandemic and encouraging to minimise the risk ofinfection -thismeans keeping distance, frequently washing hands or using office space in a safe manner. PGE has appointed a crisis team, which collects information from all Group companies, monitors the situation at the companies and undertakes appropriate activities.

Production units also have operational plans, drafted and approved on an on-going basis, in the event of elevated absences- asthey are ofstrategic importance fromthe viewpoint ofmaintaining the continuity of productionandsupply of electricity andheat,they also remain in continuous contact with localservicesresponsible for monitoring the situation in the country across all PGE Group sites.

In the retail customer area, PGE Group has been primarily focusing on expanding itsremote service channels.

Having implemented appropriate remedial measures at an early stage of the pandemic, PGE Group has been producing and supplying electricity and heat with no interruptions.

PGE Group ismonitoring the furtherimpact of COVID-19 on itsfinancial position and is preparing for variousscenarios. The pandemic has accelerated the roll-out of measures intended to prepare the entire organisation for changes in order to take on the challenges that energy companies are facing in connection with decarbonisation. They willrequire financial expenditures. All potentialsavingsscenarios, in both investment expenditures and operational costs, have been analysed in orderto focus on flagship development projectsrelated to PGE Group's core business.

27.3 InvestmentagreementwithØrstedforoffshorewindfarmprojects

On February 10, 2021 PGE Group entities and Ørsted signed an agreement to form a 50%/50% joint venture to develop two offshore wind farmprojects. These arePGE'son-going projectsBaltica 2 through SPVEWB2 (witha plannedcapacity of approx. 1.5GW) andBaltica 3 through SPV EWB3 (with a planned capacity of approx. 1 GW).

PGE Baltica 6 sp. z o.o., PGE Baltica 5 sp. z o.o. (PGE's subsidiaries) ("Existing Shareholders"), Orsted Baltica 2 Holding sp. z o.o., Orsted Baltica 3 Holding sp.z o.o.,(subsidiaries ofØrsted Wind Power A/S ("OWPAS"), hereinafterjointly referred to as "Investors"), Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica – 2 sp. z o.o. and Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica – 3 sp. z o.o. signed an investment agreement concerning the development by the Investors of projects Baltica 2 and Baltica 3.

The investment agreement establishes the legal framework for the formation of a joint venture between PGE and OWPAS for the development, construction and operation of offshore wind projects Baltica 2 and Baltica 3.

Underthe investment agreement, the Investors undertake to acquire newly-issued sharesin EWB2 and EWB3 constituting 50% ofshare capital and granting the Investors 50% of votes at each of the companies.

On May 6, 2021, after the fulfilment of the conditions precedent, relevant PGE Group entities and Ørsted completed the transaction in which Ørsted entities acquired shares representing a 50% stake in EWB2 and EWB3. Once the share capital increase was registered, Ørsted and PGE (acting through subsidiaries) became 50/50 partnersin thisjoint operation.

The total price for the 50% stake in EWB2 and EWB3 constitutesthe equivalent of approx. PLN 686 million. The increased price includes in particular contributions made by PGE to the companies afterthe investment agreement wassigned.

Once the relevant assumptions are met, Ørsted entities will be required to make additional contributionsto EWB2 and EWB3, which can amount to a total of PLN 1,024 million.

In closing the transactions, Ørsted and PGE entities signed a number of documents, separately for Baltica 2 and Baltica 3, including in particular:

  • shareholder agreements, regulating the companies' corporate governance, operational rules for integrated project teams, commitments by the partiesregarding financing and the provision of otherservicesto the companies,restrictions on the disposal of shares in the companies constituting the joint operation as well as the consequences of contractual breaches and change of control;

27.4 Czechia's complaintagainstPolandregardingprolongationofminingconcessionforKWBTurów

OnSeptember 30, 2020 theCzechRepublic sent a letterto the EuropeanCommissionpursuantto art. 259ofthe Treaty on the Functioning ofthe EU, initiating a procedure against Poland for alleged violations of EUlaw in connectionwith the extension ofthe termof concession forlignite mining for 6 yearsfor KWB Turów.

OnDecember 17, 2020,the European Commission issued a reasoned opinion, in which itshared some ofthe objections ofthe Czech side, while pointing out that the extension of the operation of KWB Turów did not violate the provisions of the Water Framework Directive. The European Commission also stressed thatsome of the remaining allegationsfrom the Czech side turned out to be wrong.

On February 26, 2021 the Czech government lodged a complaint against Poland with the Court of Justice of the EU. A summary of the complaint and key arguments were published in the EU Official Journal on April 19, 2021. The parties in this proceeding are member states, which precludesthe participation of natural and legal persons even if the case directly concernstheir activities.

On May 21, 2021, the Vice-President of the Court of Justice issued an order for an interim measure as follows: "The Republic of Poland will cease immediately and until the ruling in case C-121/21 lignite mining at the Turów mine (Poland)." An interim measure does not decide the merits of the case.

On June 9, 2021, the European Commission joined the main proceedings as an intervener supporting some of the claims of the Czech side.Inthe interimmeasureprocedure,theCzechRepublic additionally demanded a fine foreachdayofnon-compliancewiththedecision to immediately cease lignitemining. Atthe same time,the Republic of Poland applied for annulment ofthe decision on interim measures due to a change in circumstances within the meaning of art. 163 of the Rules of the Court of Justice. In accordance with the decision of September 20, 2021, the Vice-President of the Court of Justice dismissed the request to revoke the interim measure and ordered Poland to pay the European Commission a fine in the amount of EUR 500,000 per day,starting from delivery of the ruling to Poland and ending when the member states abides by the ruling of May 21, 2021. In the opinion of the Company, it is not possible to transfer the abovementioned penalties onto PGE Group companies.

PGE Group does not plan to stop coal mining activities at KWB Turów and electricity generation activities at the Turów plant. Mining at KWB Turów complies with domestic laws and European environmental norms, based on a legally obtained concession. The government ofthe Republic of Poland takesthe same position in thisrespect, additionally pointing outthatthe suspension of worksin themine would endanger the stability of the Polish power system and would have negative consequences for energy security. Government representatives also point to the lack of legal groundsto orderthe suspension of work at KWB Turów.

At the same time, the main proceedings concerning allegations of a breach of EU law are pending.

According to PGEGroup,the dispute in question has no impact on these financialstatements as ofthe date onwhich they were prepared. At the same time, PGE Group will be monitoring the case on an on-going basis, and any potential eventsthat materialise will be reflected appropriately in future financialstatements.

27.5 Planneddisposalof coalassetstoNationalEnergySecurityAgency

On 21 May 2021, the following draft was published in the list of legislative and program works of the Council of Ministers: "Transition of Poland's energy sector. Carve out of coal-based generation assetsfrom companies with a State Treasury shareholding." According to the draft, the carve out process will consist of purchase by the State Treasury all assets related to electricity generation in hard coal- and lignite-based power plants, including related service companies, from PGE S.A., ENEA S.A., TAURON Polska Energia S.A. and ENERGA S.A. (which was not included in the published draft but joined the transition process in June of this year). In connection with the indivisibility of lignite-based energy complexes, the acquired assets will also include lignite mines. Assetsrelated to hard coal mining will not become a part of the entity operating coal-based energy generation units. Asregards heating assets, because of their planned modernisationsin the low- and zero-carbon direction, they will not be included in the transaction. The State Treasury will subsequently integrate the acquired assetsinto one entity. PGE GiEK S.A. will be the integrator. The integration will consist ofmerging the companies acquired by the State Treasury or contributing them to PGE GiEK S.A. via a capital increase. PGE GiEK S.A. will be re-named as Narodowa Agencja Bezpieczeństwa Energetycznego S.A. (NABE). NABE will be a self-sufficient entity that will carry out maintenance and modernisation investments that are necessary to maintain the efficiency of its coal units. The transaction will follow relevant business and economic analyses, including due diligence and valuation ofselected assets covered by the transaction. Because ofthe generating companies' debts toward their parent entities, the settlement of this transaction will be the subject of detailed arrangements between the State Treasury and the existing owners.

According to the draft, once the coal assets are carved out, the energy groups will focus on implementing low- and zero-carbon investments, while NABE, operating as an entity wholly owned by the State Treasury, will be the owner of coal-based generating assets. NABE's role will be to ensure the essential balance of capacity in the energy system and will be limited to essential replacement investments and a gradual phase-out of coal units as low- and zero-emission capacities gradually grow, thus ensuring the state's energy security. Public consultations on the published draft were conducted. An updated version ofthe document "Transition of Poland's energy sector. Carve out of coal-based generation assets from companies with a State Treasury shareholding." has not yet been published. On July 23, 2021,PGE S.A., ENEAS.A., TAURONPolskaEnergia S.A. andENERGAS.A. executedanagreementwiththe State Treasury regarding cooperation on the carve out of coal-based energy generation assets and theirintegration into NABE.

A precise date forthe disposal ofthe coal assets,their valuation andmeans ofsettling debt and otherliabilitiesrelated to these assets has not yet been set. In connection with this, it is currently not possible to determine the impact of this division on the future financial statements of PGE and PGE Group.

The Company expectsthe processto sell these assetsto NABE to take place in 2022.

These financialstatements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and in the scope required under the Minister of Finance Regulation of March 29, 2018 on current and periodic information provided by issuers of securities and conditionsofrecognitionas equivalentinformationrequiredby the lawof a non-Member State (OfficialJournal 2018, items 512 and 685).

IFRS comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC).

Going concern

These condensed interim financialstatements were prepared underthe assumption thatthe Company will continue operating as a going concern for at least 12 months from the reporting date. As at the date of approval of these separate financial statements, there is no evidence indicating that the Company will not be able to continue its operations as a going concern.

These financialstatements comprise financial data forthe period fromJanuary 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 ("separate financialstatements") and include comparative data forthe period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 and as at December 31, 2020.

The same accounting rules (policies) and calculation methods are applied in these financial statements as in the most recent annual financialstatements and they should be read in conjunctionwith PGE S.A.'s audited separate financialstatements prepared in accordance with EU IFRS forthe year ended December 31, 2020.

Seasonality

Main factors affecting the demand for electricity and heat are: weather conditions – airtemperature, wind force,rainfall,socio-economic factors – number of energy consumers, energy sources prices, growth ofGDP and technologicalfactors – advancesin technology, product manufacturing technology. Each of these factors has an impact on technical and economic conditions of production and distribution of energy products, thusinfluence the results obtained by the Company.

The level of electricity sales variesthroughout the year, depending especially on weather conditions- airtemperature, length of the day. Growth in electricity demand is particularly evident in winter periods, while lower demand is observed during the summer months. Moreover,seasonal changes are evident among selectedgroupsof end users. Seasonality effects aremore significantfor householdsthan forthe industrialsector.

PGE S.A.'ssalesseasonality resultsfrom the fact that the Company sold 90% of its electricity to PGE Obrót S.A. and PGE Dystrybucja S.A., whose demand for electricity issubject to seasonality.

2. Professionaljudgementofmanagementandestimates

In the period ended June 30, 2021, no other significant changes of estimates took place that would have an impact on the amounts presented in the financial statements. As described in note 9 to these financial statements, impairment tests on stakes held were performed in the current period. The tests did not provide groundsforrecognising orreleasing impairment losses.

3. ImpactofnewregulationsontheCompany'sfuturefinancialstatements

New standards and interpretations that were published but are not yet in force are described in note 2.3 to the consolidated financial statements.

4. Changesinaccountingprinciplesanddatapresentation

In the present period, the Company did not change accounting rules or data presentation.

New standards and interpretations that went into force on January 1, 2021 and had no impact on the Company's separate financial statements are described in note 4 to the consolidated financialstatements.

5. Fair valuehierarchy

The principlesfor valuation ofinventories, derivatives,shares and instruments not quoted on activemarkets, for which fair valuemay not be determined reliably, are the same as presented in the financialstatementsforthe year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company measures derivatives at fair value using valuation models for financial instruments based on publicly available exchange rates, interest rates, discount curves for currencies (valid also for commodities, prices of which are denominated in those currencies) derived from active markets. The fair value of derivatives is determined based on discounted future cash flows from transactions, calculated on the difference between the forward rate and transaction price. Forward exchange rates are not modelled as separate risk factors, but are derived from the spotrate and appropriate forward interestrate forforeign currenciesin relation to PLN.

During the current and comparative reporting periods, there have been no transfers of financial instruments between the first and the second level of fair value hierarchy.

6. Salesrevenue

The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers by category to reflect the manner in which economic factors influence the type, amount, payment deadline and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows, and revenue from leases is presented in the table below.

Revenue from leases 2 3
TOTAL REVENUE FROM SALE 12,829 15,100

The Company operates predominately in Poland.

The decline in revenue from the sale of electricity in the first half of 2021 in comparison with the same period last year resulted from lower supply volumes and a decline in sales prices. The decline in supply volume mainly concerns electricity sales to PGE Obrót S.A. in orderto cover demand from retail customers and a decline in re-sale of electricity to PGE GiEK as producer. The decline in volume sold to retail customers at PGE Obrót S.A. islargely the result of lower demand for electricity from large customersin the professionalsegment.

Growth in revenue from the sale of natural gas in the first half of 2021 is the effect of higher gas supply volume and higher sales prices. The increase in gas volume wasrecorded mainly on the exchange and in gassalesto PGE Group's CHPs.

The decline in revenue from the sale of CO2 emission allowances during the present period mainly resulted from:

  • no proceedsin 2021 from the sale of free CO2 emission allowances(received in 2019 and 2020),
  • decline in revenue from the sale ofsurplus CO2 emission allowances bought back from PGE Group companies and sold to external entities,

alongside a simultaneous increase in revenue from sale to PGE Group companies as a result of higher sales prices and volumes of CO2 emissionallowances.Theincreaseinsales volumeresultedfroma lower volumeofCO2emissionallowancesallocatedfor2020(redeemed in 2021).

Revenue from the Capacity Market - in connection with the launch of the Capacity Market on January 1, 2021, PGE Group companies being suppliers of capacity to PSE S.A. generate revenue related to the capacity obligation. This revenue is settled by individual Group companies according to an algorithm described in the Capacity Market Management Agreement. PGE S.A., which according to the Agreementserves as Manager, recognisesrevenue from activitiesit undertakes.

Revenue from the sale ofservicesmainly concernsservices performed for PGEGroup subsidiaries and includes, inter alia,servicesrelated to electricity trade and supply, supply of fuel, licenses and so-called support services. The decline in revenue mainly stems from lower revenue from servicesrelated to electricity trade provided on behalf of PGE Group companies as a result of both a decline in volume and lower electricity prices.

Information concerning key clients

The Company's main counterparties are PGE Group subsidiaries. In the first half of 2021, sales to PGE Obrót S.A. accounted for 38% of revenue from sales, while salesto PGE GiEK S.A. accounted for 40%. In the first half of 2020,salesto these companies accounted for 38% and 30%, respectively.

9.1 Analysisofthe valueofstakesinPGEGórnictwoi EnergetykaKonwencjonalna S.A.,PGE EnergiaCiepła S.A.andPGEEnergiaOdnawialnaS.A.

In the first half of 2021, the Company analysed indications and identified factors that may contribute to a change in the value of its generating assets and as a result influence the value of PGE S.A.'sstakesin PGE GiEK S.A. and PGE EO S.A. As a result of the analysis, PGE S.A. performed impairment tests on its stakes in PGE GiEK S.A. and PGE EO S.A. The tests did not show the need to recognise an impairment loss. In the case of PGE EC S.A., there were no indications warranting an impairment test.

The key changesin surroundingsinclude:

  • Market capitalisation of PGE S.A. remaining below net asset book value;
  • Depletion of lignite resources approaching. The operational time for lignite-fired plants is limited by the quantity of lignite available. Thus, as time passes, the remaining operational time is reduced, as are the benefits obtained and the useful value.
  • Lingering high prices for property rights (index TGEozea). In the first half of 2021, the average price of green certificates (index TGEozea) reached 151.21 PLN/MWh and was 9% higher than in the same period of last year.
  • High prices for CO2 emission allowances. After a slump caused by the pandemic outbreak in mid-March 2020, the prices of CO2 emission allowances began to rebound. In the first half of 2021, the average weighted price for EUA DEC 21 was 44.57 EUR/t, which represented a 105% increase on the same period last year.

Macroeconomic and market assumptions

The key price assumptions, i.e. the price of electricity, CO2 emission allowances, hard coal, natural gas, and assumptions related to production at most of the Group's installations were derived from a study prepared by an independent expert, taking into account own estimates based on the current marketsituation forthe first two years of the forecast.

The forecastsfor electricity prices expect a decline in price in 2022 in reference to 2021 prices, a major price hike in 2023 in comparison with 2022, a decline in 2024 in reference to 2023, and subsequently an annual increase of 6% on average in 2025-2029.

The price forecastsfor CO2 emission allowances expect amajorincrease in 2023 in comparisonwith 2022, an annual decline in 2024-2025 of 6.5% on average and an annual increase in 2026-2029 of 12.7% on average. A slight decrease is expected in 2030, in comparison with 2029, followed by stable growth at approx. 4% annually until 2040.

The forecastsfor hard coal prices expect a majorincrease in 2023 in reference to 2022, followed by an average annual growth of 2.8 until 2030.

The forecastsfornatural gasprices expect anincrease inprice in2022 in reference to 2021 prices, amajor pricehike in2023 incomparison with 2022, followed by an average annual growth of approx. 4.1% in subsequent years.

The price forecasts for certificates of origin for energy expect an increase in the first two years of the forecasts, followed by an average annual decline of approx. 9% in 2023-2031, which isrelated to the decreasing obligation to redeem these certificates.

The forecast for revenue from the capacity market for 2021-2025 is based on the results of completed main and additional auctions for these delivery periods, taking into account the joint balancing mechanism at PGE Group companies. From 2026, the forecast was developed by a teamof experts at PGE S.A. on the basis of assumptions concerning estimated future flowsfor generating units, based on, inter alia,results of a completed auction and forecastsfroman external expert. For one-year contractswith delivery fromJuly 1, 2025 and for multiannual contracts executed as part of the auction for 2025 and subsequent, the 550g CO2/kWh (EPS 550) emission criterion isin place, which in practice rules out all coal unitsfrom Capacity Market auctions.

Unit availability was estimated based on repair plans, taking into accountstatistical failure rates.

On February 2, 2021 the Council of Ministers approved "Poland's Energy Policy 2040." The Policy constitutes a vision for Poland in the area of energy transition, indicating, inter alia, the expected structure of electricity generating units. According to the Policy, the share of low- and zero-emission units will grow, while the share of coal-based units will decline.

However,the pace of the energy transition and trends expected in the Policy recently considerably accelerated and strengthened. In July 2021, the European Commission published the Fit for 55 legislative package, which intendsto, inter alia, reduce GHG emissionsin the EU by 55% (previously 40%) by 2030, in comparison with 1990. In line with the expectations of market participants, the EU ETS reform included in the package should result in a considerable increase in the prices of CO2 emission allowances, which in practice already took place in thisfirst half ofthe year. In effect,the currentlevel of pricesfor CO2 emission allowancessignificantly divergesfromthat assumed in the Policy. Another important element that vastly divergesfrom the Policy's assumptionsisthe dynamic increase in PV capacities as a result of numerous grant programs, a discount system for prosumers and renewable energy auctions. In effect, the level of installed capacities expected for 2030 has already been achieved.

The surroundingsin which PGE S.A.'s companies operate is characterised by high volatility and is dependent on macroeconomic, market and regulatory conditions, and all changes in this regard may have a substantial impact on their financial situation and results, and in consequence on the value of stakes held by PGE S.A. This is why the above and other assumptions adopted in estimating the value of these stakes are subject to periodic analysis and verification. Potential changes will be recognised in future financialstatements.

Impairment tests on stake in PGE GiEK S.A.

In previousreporting periods, PGE S.A.recognised substantial impairment losses on itsstake in PGE GiEK S.A.

In the present reporting period, the Company performed impairment tests in order to verify whether the value of its stake in PGE GiEK S.A. decreased orincreased.

Presented below are the key assumptions having impact on estimates of the useful value of PGE GiEK S.A.:

  • adopt the assumption that in the period after June 2025 there will be support from the capacity market or equivalent for units complying with the emission criterion of 550 g CO2/kWh of produced electricity, althoughmultiannual contracts executed as part of auctions for 2021-2024 are performed in accordance with their validity periods; for units that do not meet the emission criterion, there isthe possibility of balancing multiannual contracts executed by 2019,
  • take into account work cost optimisation resulting from current work plans, among other things,
  • maintain production capacities as a result of replacement-type investments,
  • take into account development investments for which construction work has begun,
  • adopt WACC after tax for the projection period at 6.06%-7.56%, depending on the CGU, in accordance with an individually estimated level of risk.

The tests did not indicate the necessity to recognise an impairment loss on the shares of PGE GiEK S.A. The recoverable value of these stakes exceedstheir book value indicated in these financialstatements.

Impairment tests on stake in PGE EO S.A.

In the presentreporting period,the Company performed impairment testsin orderto verify whetherthe value of itsstake in PGE EOS.A. decreased orincreased.

Presented below are the key assumptions having impact on estimates of the useful value of PGE EO S.A.:

  • production of electricity and property rights were estimated based on historic data, adjusted by the availability of units;
  • unit availability was estimated based on repair plans, taking into account statistical failure rates;
  • revenue from regulatory system services until mid-2023 were estimated based on the currently functioning system of remuneration for these services, from mid-2023 it is expected that the market mechanism for contracting regulatory services will start functioning, the revenuesfrom which have been estimated based on PGE Group'sinternal analyses;
  • maintain production capacities as a result of replacement-type investments;
  • adopt WACC after tax for the projection period at 6.56%.

The tests did not indicate the necessity to recognise an impairment loss on the shares of PGE GiEK S.A. The recoverable value of these stakes exceedstheir book value indicated in these financialstatements.

Analysis of indicationsfor PGE EC S.A.

In the present reporting period, the Company analysed indications in order to verify whether there are grounds for conducting an impairment test on itsstake in PGE EC S.A.

The analysisincluded:

  • financial plan analysis,
  • confirmation that the investment plan is up-to-date,
  • analysis of prices for energy, hard coal, CO2 emission allowances and natural gas
  • analysis of heat prices,
  • analysis of assumptionsregarding the capacity market, support for cogeneration
  • analysis of estimated margins on the production and sale of electricity in future periodsin the light of price forecastsfor energy, hard coal, gas and CO2 emission allowances.

The analysis of indications performed forthe District Heating segmentshowed that the generating units are implementing theirfinancial plan in accordance with assumptions. Price forecasts for natural gas, electricity, hard coal, gas and CO2 emission allowances that are available to PGE Group mean that margin forecasts are favourable for both the sale of electricity and heat. The cogeneration support system for gas units has been reduced, howeverit has been replaced with supportin the formofthe capacity market,therefore this gives no rise to the risk of significant changes in useful values. Assumptions concerning the capacity market, in comparison to 2020, have a positive impact on forecastrevenue from the program, having been updated to include completed auctions. Given the above, according

The additional notes constitute an integral part of the separate financialstatements.

to PGE, atthe end ofthe reporting period therewere no indicationsthat wouldwarrantthe recognition ofimpairmentlosses on the stake in PGE EC S.A.

9.2 AnalysisofthevalueofstakeinPGEObrótS.A.

In previousreporting periods, PGE S.A. recognised an impairment loss on itsstake in PGE Obrót S.A. The key assumptions applied in the impairmenttests performed as ofMay 31 2020 are described in PGE S.A.'sseparate financialstatements, which are part of PGE S.A.'s halfyearly financialreport for H1 2020.

In the currentreporting period, PGE S.A. performed an analysis of indicationsin orderto determine whetherthese assets are impaired or the earlierimpairment losses may be reversed.

The most important factors analysed include:

  • analysis of the current marketsituation, including impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the energy market,
  • analysis of prices for energy and certificates of origin,
  • analysis of estimated margins on the production and sale of electricity in future periodsin the light of price forecastsfor energy,
  • analysis of economic effectsrelated to prices approved by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for households,
  • analysis of the dynamic development of PV micro-installations and settlement of prosumers in the context of impact on the Company'sfinancial results.

The analysis of indications showed that the planned cash flows generated by PGE Obrót S.A. throughout the entire forecast period did not substantially change, in connection with which as at the reporting date there are no indications to recognise additional impairment losses on the stake in PGE Obrót S.A. norto reverse impairment lossesrecognised in previous periods.

IRS transactions

The Company executed IRS transactions to hedge interest rates on credit facilities and outstanding bonds. The initial nominal value of these transactionsis PLN 7,030 (PLN 5,630 million for credit facilities and PLN 1,400 million for bonds). Prior to the start of repayment of principal on certain creditfacilities,the current nominal amount of credit-hedging IRS transactionsis PLN5,380million. To recognise these IRS transactions, the Company uses hedge accounting.

CCIRS hedges

In connection with loansreceived from PGE Sweden AB (publ) disclosed in note 13 to these financialstatements, in August 2014 PGE S.A. concluded CCIRS transactions, hedging both the exchange rate and interest rate. In these transactions, banks - counterparties pay PGE S.A. interest based on a fixed rate in EUR and PGE S.A. paysinterest based on a fixed rate in PLN. The nominal value, payment of interest and repayment of nominal value in CCIRS transactions are correlated with the relevant conditions arising from loan agreements.

To recognise these CCIRS transactions, the Company uses hedge accounting.
