The Enea Group supplies electricity and heat and innovative services to individual and institutional Customers. We are a large employer and one of Poland’s largest taxpayers with a significant contribution to local budgets. We develop regional infrastructure and technological innovation and we support the education of future staff. Enea Group’s contribution to Poland’s economy is multi-level and multidimensional.
Considering the climate and Poland’s energy security, it is particularly important that we engage in new technologies and innovative solutions that will shape the future of the power market. Therefore, we develop new lines of business, continue our efforts in support of green and digital transition, we prepare our Employees for changes and seek opportunities for collaboration with research and higher education institutions and technology providers.
We want to innovate and create solutions that will be important for Poland’s economy. This is why we plan involvement in the following areas:
- energy storage, including hydrogen storage,
- low- and zero-carbon energy sources,
- hydrogen technologies research,
- RES innovations (including wind power, photovoltaics, agrophotovoltaics and floating PV systems, biomass, solid and liquid biofuels, biogas plants, hybrid installations),
- SMR (small modular reactors) and MMR (micro modular reactors) projects,
- energy islands (energy clusters),
- smart power grids.
In June 2023, we established the Department for the Development of Innovative Projects and New Technologies of the Enea Group, a specialised organisational unit responsible for creating innovative solutions and new technologies, analysing implementation opportunities and coordinating the development operations of selected companies in the Group. We hope that the work of the Department will not only have a positive impact on our future, but also result in significant achievements that will benefit the economy as a whole and Poland’s energy transition.
Building Poland’s energy security as one of the largest resources and energy conglomerate in the country, Enea Group since 2015 has spent about 23 billion PLN for important investments supporting the development of the Polish energy sector. Between 2024 to 2042, Enea Group plans to spend another billions of złotys. Thanks to this, it will make a significant contribution to the effective transition towards total carbon neutrality of the energy sector.

INTERNAL R&D&I INDICATOR
In 2023, Enea Operator successfully completed Horizon 2020 DRES2Market project to seek ways to overcome the barriers to the development of distributed energy generation from renewable sources, so as to enable energy balancing and storage. The results were approved by the project commissioner and will be used when creating new EU regulations.
Enea Operator also carried out eNeuron, a research and development project with the main goal to develop innovative tools for optimizing the design and operation of local energy systems integrating distributed energy resources and multiple energy carriers. The project involved installation of an energy storage facility, which is the sixth such facility to be operated by Enea Operator. The effects of eNeuron are set to provide benefits to potential entities interested in implementing such systems, specifically distribution network operators.
