Letter from President of the Management Board and CEO
Dear Stakeholders,
we have the honor to present to you this periodic report of the ENEA Group, in which we have described the activities we carried out during all twelve months of 2020. In this period, the ENEA Group ran its business in a demanding market environment and in an economy fighting the effects of the pandemic.
We successfully reorganized our work at every level of operation to ensure the safety of our employees and customers and a stable supply of electricity to all recipients. During this special time, our employees performed their assigned tasks with responsibility and commitment. I wish to thank them very much for this outstanding effort.
With a great deal of commitment, we are actively supporting governmental and non-governmental endeavors aimed at counteracting the spread of the coronavirus. In 2020, the ENEA Group donated more than PLN 5.3 million through various channels, including the ENEA Foundation. This aid was provided to hospitals, treatment centers, hospices, sanitary and epidemiological stations and non-governmental organizations for the purchase of medical equipment and necessary sanitary and personal protection products. We know what responsibility means. For this reason, we care not only for our employees and customers, but also for the whole communities in the locations where we run our business.
Financial and operating performance
2020 was a tough period for the global economy. Also our domestic power sector experienced a major decline in the activity of large businesses, which triggered a decline in demand for electricity. The ENEA Group’s financial and operating performance was affected by the volatile and tough market environment. Despite this, we generated stable results with an increase in revenues by 11% y/y to PLN 18.2 billion and an EBITDA of PLN 3.3 billion.
In 2020, the volume of sales of electricity and gaseous fuel to retail customers reached 21.1 TWh, up by approx. 3.8%, or 774 GWh, compared to 2019. In the business customer segment, the sales volume was higher than the year before by 371 GWh, or approx. 2.5%. In the household segment, the sales volume increased by 133 GWh, or approx. 2.9%. The sales volume of gaseous fuel also increased compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (by 270 GWh, or approx. 25.5%). The total volume of energy generated from renewable sources reached almost 2.4 TWh and increased by 5%, or 112 GWh.
More than 43 thousand renewable sources, including micro-installations, got connected to ENEA Operator’s grid, and the total number of renewable energy sources connected by the distribution company was nearly 63 thousand at yearend 2020. The total capacity of the sources installed during this period was over 546 MW, owing to which the current total capacity of connected renewable energy sources, including micro-installations, surpassed 2,043 MW.
In 2020, the ENEA Group’s capital expenditures totaled PLN 2.4 billion and were completed largely in accordance with the previously adopted assumptions. PLN 273 million was allocated to capital expenditures related to the Group’s environmental protection endeavors, including commercial connection of wind farms to ENEA Operator’s grid and upgrades and projects adapting the Group’s power plants to the BAT conclusions.
Stable fuel source for power plants
The key supplier of the input commodity for two of our power plants is LW Bogdanka, a member of the Group. Last year, the Company recorded nearly 7.6 million tons of production, down by nearly 19.5% y/y. In the same period, sales of coal decreased by 18%. The company’s weaker operating performance in 2020 was driven down primarily by the reduced demand for steam coal from the commercial power and heat generation sectors. LW Bogdanka posted PLN 1,822 million in revenue from sales. EBITDA stood at PLN 466 million.
Before the end of 2020, LW Bogdanka presented a new strategy in response to the challenges presented by Poland’s Energy Policy until 2040. The Company focuses chiefly on preserving production capacity, upholding high profitability ratios, demonstrating respect for the natural environment and maintaining the position of the region’s economic and social stronghold. In accordance with its objectives, LW Bogdanka remains the performance leader in the mining industry attaining the highest standards of work safety, flexibly adjusting its operations to evolving environmental requirements and market conditions and involved in endeavors aimed at reaching the “green deal” through diversification of its business.
ENEA Group building the power sector of the future
The ENEA Group is also updating its Development Strategy, which will be aligned with the new external conditions and will enable an effective and successful transformation process. The commitment to implement the adopted development directions and objectives is very important, especially in the current period of an economic downturn caused by the pandemic. We strive to play

an active role in building a strong Polish economy and, above all, support the sustainable development of the fuel and power sector. We are taking actions, executing projects and making investments to jointly build the power sector of the future.
We will intensify our investment endeavors in the area of renewable energy sources. We have given up our capital involvement in the project aimed at building a gas-fired unit at the Ostrołęka C Power Plant. We will execute any potential coal-to-gas conversion projects using our own generation assets.
Renewable energy sources in the focus of the Group’s attention
In pursuit of the ENEA Group’s ambitious transformation, a company by the name of ENEA Nowa Energia was established in mid- 2020 to develop and manage projects based on renewable energy sources. The company went through the organization process successfully and in a timely manner. Today, it manages 26 RES facilities, including hydro power plants and wind farms across Poland.
Offshore energy generation from wind sources plays an important role in the ENEA Group’s growth plans. In order to boost our competitive edge on the demanding offshore market, we intend to collaborate with other partners active in the Polish energy sector in the execution of future offshore wind farm projects: PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Tauron Polska Energia. We believe that the letter of intent between our companies on the establishment of this collaboration, signed in January 2021, will accelerate and solidify our activities in this business segment.
In addition to developing our own RES capacity, we are involved in endeavors aimed at ensuring the country’s energy transformation, supporting RES generators in fulfilling the reporting duty arising from European law (SOGL guidelines). ENEA Operator’s experts share their knowledge and experience, supporting entities generating electricity from renewable sources in providing data on electricity generated and introduced to the power grid.
Please read the following summary of activity of the ENEA Group in 2020. On behalf of the ENEA Management Board, I wish to thank all members of the Supervisory Board, the management boards of other Group companies and all employees of the ENEA Group for their professional and committed efforts, permitting us to jointly build and increase the Group’s value, making it an even more attractive asset for our investors and shareholders.
Respectfully,
Paweł Szczeszek
President of the Management Board of ENEA S.A. and CEO

1. Operating summary for 2020
In 2020, the ENEA Group generated EBITDA of PLN 3,302 million (down by PLN 36 million y/y).
The highest EBITDA of PLN 1,530 million was earned in the Generation area (down by PLN 64 million y/y). A significant decrease in EBITDA was recorded in the System Power Plants Segment; the y/y decrease of approx. PLN 97 million, which resulted from: in 2019, the reversal of the provision for the acquisition of the Skoczykłody wind farm in the amount of PLN 129 million, a decrease in the generation margin (lower unit CDS due to the increase in coal costs with transport and CO 2 costs, partly covered by higher energy prices), with a simultaneous increase in the turnover margin and the Balancing Market (higher unit margins, volume growth). Higher EBITDA in the Heat and RES Segments by PLN 21 million y/y and PLN 12 million y/y, respectively.
The Mining area generated EBITDA of PLN 470 million (down by PLN 301 million y/y). The segment’s result is attributed mainly to a decrease in revenue from sales of coal (lower sales volume offset to a certain degree by the higher selling price), in connection with the unfavorable oversupply of coal in the market, with a simultaneous decrease in employee benefit costs due to the subsidy obtained from anti-crisis shield.
The Distribution area posted EBITDA of 1,313 million (up by PLN 221 million y/y). The increase was driven by higher margins on licensed activities (affected by, among others, a higher rate of the fixed and variable grid charge in the approved 2020 tariff and higher revenues from grid connection fees) as well as a better result on other operating activities (driven mainly by changes in the provisions for grid assets and higher revenue from contractual penalties and indemnities).
The Trading area posted EBITDA of -15 million (up by PLN 35 million y/y). The segment’s result was favorably affected by the increase in the average sales price of energy and the updated valuation of CO contracts. At the same time, the energy purchase prices increased (mainly due to the increase in the price of CO 2 emission allowances) and so did the costs of environmental obligations.
The ENEA Group made capital expenditures of over PLN 2,441 million.
Production of commercial coal was 7.6 million tons.
Sales of commercial coal were 7.7 million tons.
The Group produced over 22 TWh of electricity.
Sales of heat in the Generation Segment reached 6,000 TJ.
Sales of distribution services to end users were over 19 TWh.
The volume of sales of electricity and gaseous fuel to retail customers was more than 21 TWh.

2. ENEA S.A. as the parent company in the Group
Changes effected in 2020 in ENEA S.A.’s organizational structure concerned chiefly the separation of areas related to legal services, security and administration, which were previously concentrated in a single department. The reason for the separation of these areas was the need to entrust the responsibility for the performance of various assignments to separate areas of competence. This permitted the Company to separate the responsibilities, improve the efficiency of management and reflect the care of the ENEA S.A. Supervisory Board and Management Board for the establishment and observance of the highest ethical, compliance and anti-corruption standards. The grouping of the legal and compliance area with the security and administration area within a single organizational unit may have been perceived as a solution affecting the balance between and mutual control exercised by these units.

As part of the corporate actions related to the reorganization of the RES Segment in the ENEA Group, on 10 November 2020 the Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting of ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o with its registered office in Świerże Górne (Company Being Divided) adopted a resolution to divide ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. through a spin-off. The division through a spin-off was carried out following the procedure set forth in Art. 529 §1 Item 4 of the Polish Commercial Company Code, by transferring to ENEA Nowa Energia Sp. z o.o. in Radom (“Acquiring Company”) a collection of tangible and intangible assets separated organizationally, financially and functionally from the Company Being Divided, including liabilities, constituting on organized part of the enterprise within the meaning of Article 4a item 4 of the Corporate Income Tax Act of 15 February 1992 and Article 2 item 27e of the VAT Act of 11 March 2004 (“RES Segment”, “OPE”), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Draft Terms of Division of 25 August 2020. The Division was carried out without reduction of the share capital of the Company Being Divided, by way of reducing other capital items of the Company Being Divided, i.e. retained earnings in the amount of PLN 526,430,903.46. At the same time, on 10 November 2020 the Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting of the Acquiring Company adopted a resolution on dividing the Company Being Divided through a spin-off, i.e. transfer of the OPE of the Company Being Divided in the form of the RES Segment, to the Acquiring Company.

The above data were prepared on the basis of the current working schedule of the units and the scheduled generation unit shutdowns. At present, ENEA Wytwarzanie conducts the conceptual work including analysis of the possibility and justification for the use of gaseous fuel (gas and steam unit) in the existing infrastructure of 200 MWe class units. It is assumed that all the generation capacity of the 200 MWe units will be replaced, however the final capacity of the units to be replaced will result from the concept documentation. Several stages of generation capacity replacement is planned. Only after the target capacity replacement model is developed, the shutdown schedule for the 200 MWe class units will be updated.

ENEA assumes that it will transition into an innovative low-emission concern offering not only electricity but comprehensive bundles of products and services expected by its Customers.
These development directions form a foundation, which is used to define strategic goals for the ENEA Group. ENEA has identified five key strategic goals supporting the transformation of ENEA Group into a low-emission concern.
1. diversification of the ENEA Group’s generation portfolio;
2. reliability and continuity of electricity supply;
3. responsible partner in sustainable management of relations with local communities, the environment and customers;
4. ensuring financial security of the ENEA Group;
5. innovativeness in all aspects of the ENEA Group’s activity.
Its overriding objective will entail its sustainable development. Therefore the ENEA Group’s overriding objective is “continuous growth of the value of the ENEA Group, while ensuring sustainable development”.
The ENEA Group’s Strategy currently in force calls for the achievement of a number of KPIs by 2030 and 2035. Detailed parameters adopted for the Strategy and information on the capital expenditures earmarked for its implementation were presented in various disclosure instruments, including Current Report No. 36/2019.
At the same time, due to abundant changes of a fundamental nature in the industry environment, work is currently underway on updating the ENEA Group’s Strategy in order to address existing challenges and circumstances affecting businesses operating in the power sector. The updated Strategy will enable an ambitious, sustainable and efficient transformation of the ENEA Group.
In light of the foregoing, in the context of this report, the Issuer has opted to refrain from presenting the level of attainment of selected KPIs provided for in the current Strategy from the perspective of the performance and operational data for 2020.
