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).

PGEGroup companies conducttheir business activities based on relevant concessions, including primarily concessionsforthe generation, trade and distribution of electricity, generation, transmission and distribution of heat, granted by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, along with concessions for lignite mining, granted by the Minister of the Environment. Generally, concessions are issued for a period between 10 and 50 years.
Relevant assets are assigned to concessionsforlignite mining and the 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:
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 had previously been recognised and analysed within the following segments: Conventional Generation, District Heating and Other Activity. The data for the comparative period was notrestated.
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 airtemperature and are higherin winter and lowerin summer.

Commodity and currency forward transactions mainly relate to trade in CO2 emission allowances and coal sales. The Group uses hedge accounting to account for currency forwardsrelated to the purchase of CO2 allowances.
On January 20, 2017 PGE S.A. bought a call option to purchase shares of Polimex-Mostostal S.A. from Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. The option was valued using the Black-Scholes method.
In the current period, PGE Paliwa sp.z o.o. executed a number of transactionsto hedge thisrisk using commodity swapsfor coal in order to secure commodity risk related to the price of imported coal. The volume and value of these transactionsis correlated to the volume and value of imported coal. Changesin fair value are recognised in profit orloss.
PGE Paliwa Sp. z o.o. measures all of its sales and purchase contracts with physical delivery of coal at fair value using the trader-broker model.
PGE S.A. executed IRS transactionsto hedge interestrates on creditfacilities with a total nominal value of PLN7,030million. To recognise these IRS transactions,theGroup uses hedge accounting.

In connection with loans received from PGE Sweden AB (publ), PGE S.A. concluded CCIRS transactions, hedging the exchange rate for principal and interest. In these transactions, banks-counterparties pay PGE S.A. interest based on a fixed rate in EUR and PGE S.A. pays interest based on a fixed rate in PLN. In the consolidated financial statements, a relevant part of the CCIRS transaction is treated as a hedge of bondsissued by PGE Sweden AB (publ).
At the reporting date, the Company held participation unitsin three sub-funds managed by TFI Energia S.A.
The basic assumption of the Group's policy regarding equity management is to maintain an optimal equity structure over the long term in orderto ensure a good financialstanding and secure equity structure ratiosthat would support PGEGroup's operations. Itis also crucial to maintain a sound equity base that would be the basis to win confidence of future investors, creditors and the market and ensure the Group'sfurther development.

Provisionsfor employee benefits mainly include:
PGE Group creates provisions for the rehabilitation of post-mining properties. 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 provision as at March 31, 2021 amounted to PLN 7,524 million and as at December 31, 2020 to PLN 7,463 million.
PGE Group's generating assets create provisions for the rehabilitation of ash landfills. As at March 31, 2021, this provision amounted to PLN 328 million (PLN 318million atthe end of the comparative period).
Wind farm owners create provisions for decommissioning and restoration. As at March 31, 2021, this provision amounted to PLN 34 million (PLN 71 million at the end ofthe comparative period).
As at the reporting date, the provision amounted to PLN 290 million (PLN 259 million as at the end of the comparative period) and refers to certain assetsin the Conventional Generation and Renewablessegments.
As described in note 14 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. In connection with this, the estimate of this provision as at March 31, 2021, increased to PLN 8,143 (PLN 6,318 million at the end of the comparative period).
PGE Group companies create a provision for energy origin rights concerning sales generated in the reporting period or previous periods, in the part yetto be redeemed as atthe reporting date. The provision as at March 31, 2021 amounted to PLN507million (PLN589million in the comparative period) and was created mainly by PGE Obrót S.A.
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 53 million (of which 27 million relate to litigations). In the comparative period, the provision amounted to PLN 63 million (of which PLN 32 million related to litigations).
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 159% to 3.96 GW in 2020 vs. 1.53 GW at the end of 2019. The Act on renewable energy sources of February 20, 2015 introduced a settlement system for prosumers and energy cooperatives that generateslosses for the obligated supplier (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 higherthese 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 growing losses due to fees for distribution services are giving rise to deliberations on recognising provisions for 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, the results of such calculations 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 supplier, 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.
The value of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is a rational approximation of theirfair value, except for bondsissued by PGE Sweden AB (publ).
Bondsissued by PGE Sweden AB (publ) are based on a fixed interestrate. Their amortised cost presented in these financialstatements as at March 31, 2021 amounted to PLN 656 million and theirfair value amounted to PLN 725 million.

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.
These liabilities represent bank guarantees provided as security for exchange transactions resulting from membership in the clearinghouse IRGiT.
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.
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.
As describedinnote 19.5 ofthese financialstatements, PGEGrouprecognises a provisionfordisputesunder court proceedings 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.
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 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.

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 claim on July 8, 2017. On September 28, 2018, the District Court in Warsaw ruled in the first instance - 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'sruling in its entirety and referred the case to the District Court for re-examination. 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 will therefore be re-examined by the Court of Appeal. PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A. are currently awaiting the justification for the Supreme Court's decision in the final judgment on which the reasons for the decision will be based.
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.
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 contractualterms, as atthe reporting date theGrouprecognisedcontractualpenalty receivablesof PLN164million(recognisedentirely asrevenue in previousreporting 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.
Tax obligations and rights are specified in Poland's constitution, tax regulations and ratified international agreements. According to the tax code, tax is defined as public, unpaid, obligatory and non-returnable cash liability toward the State Treasury, provincial or other regional authoritiesresulting from the tax regulation. Taking into accountthe subject criterion,the current taxesin 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.
An agreementfor a tax group named PGK PGE 2015,represented by PGE S.A., wassigned on September 18, 2014 for a period of 25 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.
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 mechanismand the relation betweenthe payment deadlinesforreceivables andliabilities. As ofMarch31, 2021 the cash balance inthese VAT accountstotalled PLN 253million.
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 benefits is 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.
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. PGE GiEK lodged a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court on April 23, 2021.
Given the significant uncertainty over the final ruling on 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 constitutes a considerable burden for certain PGE Group companies. Regulations on the real estate tax are unclear in certain 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.
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.

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 financial resultsremained limited in the first quarter of 2021. Further potential events and their scale are difficult to estimate. The duration, intensity and reach ofthe pandemic will be ofsignificance, aswell asthe pandemic'simpact on economic growth in Poland. At the same time, preparing precise estimates is difficult due to a variety of other factors having an impact on the electricity market, including demand for electricity.
The onset of the pandemic caused an economic slowdown in 2020 globally and in Poland. As the pandemic restrictions are being lifted, the economic situation is now gradually improving. This is seen in corrections of market forecasts for GDP, industrial production and investments.
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 a risk of falling demand for electricity, which could translate into lowersalesto 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.
As at March 31, 2021, the impact of a predicted increase in payment backlogs, especially in receivablesfrom SMEs, was not material. As described innote 2.4 to these consolidated financialstatements,theGrouphasrecognisedadditional impairmentlossesof PLN16million. Depending on the further development of the pandemic and economic situation, PGE Group isstillsubject to liquidity risk and the risk of higher impairment of overdue receivables, both of which are monitored on an on-going basis. The Group currently does not expect this risk 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 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 ofthe basic rulesfor protecting against COVID-19, prevention and quarantine. PGE has appointed a crisisteam, which collects information from all Group companies, monitorsthe 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. This will require financial expenditures. All potential savings scenarios, in both investment expenditures and operational costs, have been analysed in orderto focus on flagship development projectsrelated to PGE Group's core business.
OnOctober 27, 2020, an investor consortium thatincluded PGE submitted a preliminary, non-binding proposalto purchase from Fortum Holding B.V. its district heating and cooling businessin Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. Consortium membersincluded: PGE, Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A., PFR Inwestycje FIZ, whose investment portfolio is managed in part by Polski Fundusz Rozwoju S.A., and IFM Investors Pty Ltd.
OnNovember 16, 2020 PGE and PolskieGórnictwoNaftowe iGazownictwo S.A.(Partners)submitted amodified preliminary, non-binding proposal to purchase assetsfrom Fortum Holding B.V.
The modified proposal entails the acquisition of Fortum Holding B.V.'s district heating business in Poland only. At the same time, the Partners withdrew from the proposed acquisition of Fortum's assets in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and from participating in the investor consortium with PFR Inwestycje FIZ and IFM Investors Pty Ltd.
Joint work is currently in progress on a binding proposal.
Fortum Holding B.V.'s Polish subsidiary isinvolved in the generation, distribution and sale of heat and the generation of electricity.
The purchase of Fortum's assetsisin line with PGE Group's Strategy 2030, announced on October 19, 2020.
On February 10, 2021 PGE Group entities and Ørsted signed an agreement giving each of the parties a 50% stake in two offshore wind farm projects. PGE is currently implementing the two projects: Baltica 2 (with planned capacity of approx. 1.5 GW) and Baltica 3 (with 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. ("EWB2") and Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica – 3 sp. z o.o. ("EWB3") signed an investment agreement for the Investorsto invest in Baltica 2 and Baltica 3.
The investment agreement establishes the legal framework for the formation of a joint operation 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 March 10, 2021 the President ofthe Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection approved the concentration.
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 sharesrepresenting a 50% stake in EWB2 and EWB3. Once the share capital increase isregistered, Ørsted and PGE (acting through subsidiaries) will become 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 after the investment agreement was signed. 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:
PGE GiEK S.A.'s concession for the mining of lignite and accompanying minerals at the "Turów" lignite deposit was prolonged through a decision of the Minister of Climate dated March 20, 2020. On September 30, 2020 the Czech Republic lodged a letter with the European Commission pursuantto Art. 259 ofthe Treaty on the Functioning ofthe EuropeanUnion initiating a proceeding against Poland regarding the continued functioning of the energy complex in Turów. The charges against Poland concerned the issue of administrative decisions permitting further extractive activities at the KWB Turów mine. The actions taken by Polish authorities allegedly constituted a breach of EU law, including the water framework directive, directive on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment, directive on public accessto environmental information and directive on the assessment ofthe effects of certain public and private projects on the environment.
On December 17, 2020 the European Commission issued a reasoned opinion in which it agreed with some of the infringements alleged by Czechia, at the same time indicating that the prolongation of KWB Turów'sfunctioning did not infringe on the provisions of the water framework directive. The European Commission also emphasised that some of the other infringements alleged by Czechia were unfounded.
On February 22, 2021 the Czech government decided to lodge a complaint against Poland. The complaint was referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union on February 26, 2021. On April 19, 2021 a summary of the complaint and key arguments was published in the Official EU Journal. The partiesto this proceeding are memberstates, 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 of the European Union issued an order on an interim measure as follows: "Poland must immediately cease lignite extraction activitiesin the Turów mine until a judgment of the Court brings case C-121/21 to an end." An interim measure does not rule on the merits of the case. As groundsfor adopting the interim measure, the Court asserted that the continued extraction of lignite at KWB Turów will lead to deterioration in the level of groundwater in Czech territory. At the same time, this circumstance is yet to be proven by Czechia.
The order on the interim measure cannot be appealed, although pursuant to Art. 163 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice of the European Union: "On application by a party, the order may at any time be varied or cancelled on account of a change in circumstances."
The memberstate against which the interim measure is applied determinesthe way in which the interim measure is performed.
Extractive operations at the KWB Turów mine are in compliance with domestic law and European environmentalstandards on the basis of on a lawfully acquired concession. According to PGE, there are currently no grounds for ceasing operations at the energy complex in Turów.
On May 21, 2021, the following project was published in the list of legislative and program works of the Council of Ministers: "Transformation of the electricity sector in Poland. Separation of generation coal assets from companies with State Treasury shareholding" .According to the draft project, the asset spin-off process will be pursued through acquisition by the State Treasury from PGE S.A., ENEA S.A., TAURON Polska Energia S.A. all assets related to the generation of electricity in hard coal-fired and lignite-fired power plants, including service companies providing services to them. Due to the inseparability of lignite-fired energy complexes, lignite mines will also be among the acquired assets. Assets related to hard coal mining will not be transferred to the entity dealing with generation of electricity in coal units. CHP plants will not be subject to separation, as they are planned to be modernized towards low and zero-emission sources. Then, the State Treasury will integrate the acquired assets within one entity. The integrator is to be PGE GiEK S.A. The integration will take place through the merger of the companies acquired by the State Treasury or their contribution for a capital increase to PGE GiEK S.A. PGE GiEK will be operating under the name of the National Energy Security Agency (Polish "NABE"). NABE will be a selfsufficient entity that, as part of its operations, will carry out maintenance and modernisation investments necessary to maintain the efficiency of the coal-fired units in operation. Transaction is to take place following appropriate business and economic analyses, including due diligence and valuations of selected assets. The method of settlement of the transaction, due to the indebtedness of the generation companies towards parent entities in their capital groups, will be subject to detailed arrangements between the State Treasury and the current owners.
According to the assumptions of the project, after the separation of coal generation assets, energy companies will focus on the implementation of low and zero-emission investments, and NABE, operating in the form of a company with 100% State Treasury shareholding, will be the owner of coal-based generation assets. The role of NABE will be to ensure the necessary power balance in the energy system, limiting itself to the necessary replacement investments and gradual decommissioning of coal-fired units along with the progressive capacity increase from low and zero-emission sources, ensuring the country's energy security. The planned date of adoption of the draft by the Council of Ministers is the second quarter of 2021.
Currently, the assumptions of the program have not been presented, in particular regarding the date of transfer of the coal assets, the valuation of the assets and the method of settlement of debt and other liabilities related to the assets. Therefore, it is currently not possible to determine the impact of the spin-off on the future financial statements of PGE and the PGE Capital Group.
