ESG Report of the Enea Capital Group for 2023

2030 Development Strategy

When we think about the future of our Group, we have in mind the principles of our Green Change. We have based our sustainable transition and climate neutrality on replacing coal energy with zero-emission, renewable energy sources – this plan is the basis of ENEA Group Development Strategy until 2030 with an outlook to 2040. The Strategy is complemented by ENEA Capital Group Climate Policy, which was adopted in December 2023 and which outlines the impact our Group has on the environment and the management directions and mechanisms that help us ensure sustainability of our business and respect for our planet’s natural resources.

Our Group’s plans for growth are in tune with the changes in Poland’s energy sector and the EU regulatory frameworks.

Apart from the overriding objective, our objectives are also:

We want the green transition to increase the value of our Group. We intend to achieve climate neutrality by developing renewable energy sources (RES) with the latest technology. We will increase the installed RES capacity through acquisitions, development of own projects and working with our business partners. We are convinced that innovative, future-oriented RES projects will help the Group achieve competitive advantage.

In the initial stages of the pathway to climate neutrality, having the country’s energy security in mind, we intend to use gas as the low-carbon transition fuel. Our investment in this area will be limited to the replacement of the essential generation capacities. Developing RES will be stabilized by low-emission conventional sources.

Our Strategy outlines 13 key directions for growth of the Enea Capital Group:
Key Performance Indicators to monitor progress towards Strategy’s objectives of Enea Capital Group*

1) Increase in installed RES capacity (gross) compared to 2020, excluding the Green Unit of Połaniec Power Plant and energy storage.
2) Excluding the bituminous coal fired generation capacities (without the Green Unit of Połaniec Power Plant.

* It will be updated after the presentation of a new or modified government concept regarding the separation of coal assets from energy companies.

Planned evolution of the Enea Group’s energy generation structure

The current structure of the installed capacity and planned shutdowns of individual coal-fired units in Kozienice and Połaniec Power Plants and conventional sources of Enea Ciepło have been presented below.

1) PV Krzęcin 1, 2 and 7 comprises three systems with 1 MW capacity each. On 25 August 2023, the Company was entered in the register of small-installation energy producers.
2) PV Darżyno with 2 MW capacity is now being commissioned. Once the licence is granted, the total installed capacity of the photovoltaic farms to be used by Enea Nowa Energia will be 14.0 MWe.

Enea Nowa Energia, with its acquisition and development, plays an important role in new RES projects developed by the Enea Group.

With acquisition being one of Enea Group’s directions for RES development, the following companies have been incorporated in the Group in 2023.
