The ownership structure as at particular reporting dates was prepared on the basis of data available to the Company.

According to information known to the Company as at the date on which these financial statements were prepared, the State Treasury is the only shareholder with at least 5% of votes at the General Meeting of PGE S.A.

1.2 Information on PGE Group

PGE Group includes the parent, PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A., 72 consolidated subsidiaries, 4 associates and 1 jointly controlled entity. For additional information about subordinated entities included in the consolidated financial statements please refer to note 1.3.

These consolidated financial statements of PGE Group cover the period from January 1 to September 30, 2020 and contain comparative figures for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2019 and as at December 31, 2019.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not cover all of the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements and they should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, approved for publication on March 31, 2020.

The financial statements of all subordinated entities were prepared for the same reporting period as the financial statements of the parent company, using consistent accounting principles. An exception to this rule are companies acquired in the course of the financial year that prepared financial data for the period from the moment of obtaining control by PGE Group.

PGE Group companies' core activities are as follows:

  • production of electricity,
  • distribution of electricity,
  • wholesale and retail trade in electricity, energy origin rights, CO2 emission allowances and natural gas,
  • production and distribution of heat,
  • provision of other services related to these activities. Business activities are conducted under appropriate concessions granted to particular Group companies.

The additional notes constitute an integral part

of these consolidated financial statements.

PGE Group Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

for the 3- and 9-month periods ended September 30, 2020, in accordance with IFRS EU (in PLN million)

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that significant Group companies will continue as going concerns for a period of at least 12 months from the reporting date. As at September 30, 2019, the subsidiary, PGE Obrót S.A., reports negative equity, primarily due to negative developments on the retail electricity trading market. PGE Obrót S.A., like other PGE Group companies, has access to financing provided by PGE S.A., therefore the going concern for this company is justified.

Apart from the issue concerning PGE Obrót S.A., as at the date of authorisation of these financial statements for publication, no circumstances were identified which would indicate any threat to significant Group companies continuing as going concerns.

Changes in accounting policies

The same accounting rules (policies) and calculation methods were applied in these financial statements as in the most recent annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with PGE Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, approved for publication on March 31, 2020.

Events after the reporting period

On October 1, 2020, a letter of intent on the acquisition of all shares in the PGE EJ 1 sp. z o.o. by the State Treasury was signed. As intended by the parties, the transaction should be completed by December 31, 2020. As at September 30, 2020, the criteria for classification of the company as held for sale set out in IFRS 5 Non-currentAssets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations were not met. In the period of 9 months of 2020, revenues and expenses of EJ1 sp. z o.o. amounted to, respectively, PLN 1 million and PLN 21 million. As at September 30, 2020, total assets amounted to PLN 428 million and total liabilities amounted to PLN 268 million.

1.4 Accountingfortheacquisition of new subsidiaries

Preliminary accounting for the acquisition of Eco-Power sp.z o.o.

On July 31, 2020, PGE EO purchased 100% of shares in Eco-Power sp. z o.o. from FEN Wind Farm B.V. Eco-Power is the owner of a wind farm commissioned in 2015, comprising 12 wind turbines with a total capacity of 36 MW.

According to IFRS 3, the transaction is accounted for using the acquisition method. The total value of cash transferred in the transaction was PLN 150 million. As at the acquisition date, the carrying amount of Eco-Power's net assets was PLN 86 million. The difference between the purchase price and the amount of net assets acquired, amounting to PLN 64 million, was initially recognized by PGE Group as goodwill under intangible assets.

The Group launched the process of measurement of the assets acquired in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Following preliminary analyses, the Group expects that, as part of the accounting for the acquisition, goodwill may be adjusted as a result of measurement of property, plant and equipment at fair value. As a result of the analysis of the assets acquired, the Group recognised a rehabilitation provision and measured the property rights generated in accordance with the Group's policy. This had no significant impact on the initially recognized goodwill.

As required by IFRS 3, PGE Group should complete the accounting for the acquisition within one year from the acquisition date.

Accounting for the acquisition of PIMERGE S.A.

On July 1, 2020, a share capital increase in PIMERGE was entered in the register. Following the capital increase, the share held by PGE Group increased from 42.37% to 89.87% and PIMERGE S.A. was included in consolidation.

Following the accounting for the acquisition, PGE Group recognised goodwill of PLN 2 million (net assets amounting to PLN 1 million were acquired for the price of PLN 3 million).

2.4 Professional judgment of management and estimates

Judgments and estimates made by the management in the process of applying accounting rules that are described below had the most significant impact on the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements, including in other explanatory information. The estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Management Board relating to current and future operations and events in particular areas. Detailed information on the assumptions made is presented below or in respective explanatory notes.

  • During the reporting period, the Group revised the amount of impairment losses on assets, including in particular on property, plant and equipment. For a description of changes, see Note 3 to these financial statements.
    Estimate of recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is based on a number of significant assumptions to the factors, realisation 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.
  • On December 28, 2018, an act amending the act on excise duty and certain other acts was adopted. The Act, as amended, regulated prices for final customers of electricity for 2019 and introduced a system of compensation for energy companies offering reduced prices. In connection with the provisions of the Act, the Group made estimates of revenues from compensation due and estimates of reductions in revenues. The estimates were related to the previous reporting period but it is possible that they will be adjusted in the current reporting period. For details, see note 25.1 to these financial statements.
  • 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, the rehabilitation provision and provisions for employee benefits were remeasured in the reporting period due to a decrease in the discount rate. For details, see note 19 to these financial statements.
  • Uncertainties concerning tax treatment are described in note 23 to these consolidated financial statements.
  • As at the reporting date, the Group did not observe any significant extension of the receivables repayment period or liquidity problems resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the Group has updated the models used to estimate the expected credit losses. For the purpose of estimating expected credit losses, counterparties were divided into two groups: strategic counterparties that are internally rated on the basis of a scoring model and other counterparties for whom expected credit losses are estimated on the basis of a provision matrix. For the first group of counterparties, the basis for calculating expected credit losses was changed - as at September 30, 2020, losses were calculated based on quotations of Credit Default Swaps (CDSs), whereas for the second group of counterparties, the percentage rates in the respective time intervals of the provisioning matrix were updated to the level corresponding to the current recoverability of receivables. As a result of these two changes, the level of provisions for expected credit losses as at September 30, 2020 is PLN 22 million more than if the provisions had been recognised in accordance with previous rules. For a more detailed description of the impact of the pandemic on PGE Group's operations, see Note 25.3 of these statements.

The additional notes constitute an integral part

of these consolidated financial statements.

3. Test for impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and goodwill

Property, plant and equipment is PGE Group's most significant group of assets. Due to the changing macroeconomic and regulatory environment, PGE Group verifies regularly the premises that may indicate that its assets may be impaired. In assessing the market situation, PGE Group uses both its own analytical tools and the support of independent analytical institutions. In the first half of 2020, PGE Group identified a number of drivers that could have substantial impact on changes in the value of assets. In the third quarter of 2020, the Group re-verified the indications and found no significant changes compared to the previous analysis. Therefore, the results of the tests conducted as at June 30, 2020 remain valid as at September 30, 2020.

External indications

  • Market capitalisation of PGE remaining below the net carrying amount of assets.
  • Decrease in prices of futures contracts.
  • Low demand for electricity in the National Power System due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Low prices on spot markets in Germany and Scandinavia result in high competitiveness of energy imports to Poland, which results in lower utilisation of Generation Units. An additional adverse factor is a decrease in demand in the National Power System and an increase in RES generation. In the opinion of the PGE Group, this situation may continue until the end of 2021.
  • Approaching depletion of lignite resources.
    The lifetime of lignite-fired power plants is limited due to the quantity of available lignite resources. Therefore, over time, the remaining service period, as well as the benefits and value in use, becomes shorter.
  • Continuing high prices of emission rights (TGEozea index) The green energy origin certificate increased between Q1 and Q4 2018 from 63 PLN/MWh to 149 PLN/MWh. In 2019, prices of green energy origin certificate remained high, to reach more than 130 PLN/MWh in Q2 2020.

Macroeconomic assumptions

The key price assumptions, i.e. the prices of electricity, CO2 emission allowances, hard coal, 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 market situation for the first two years of the projection.

Electricity price projections assume a slight increase in prices in 2020 as compared to 2019, followed by growths in subsequent years.

Price projections for CO2 emission allowances assume dynamic market price growth in successive years of the projection.

Hard coal price projections expect a decline in prices until 2023, as compared to 2019, followed by several-percent growth in subsequent years.

Gas price projections assume a decline in 2020 as compared to 2019, average annual growth in the period to 2025 at approx. 8% and growth of approx. 3% annually in the years thereafter.

Projections for prices of energy origin certificates provide for an average annual decrease of about 7% between 2022 and 2031, which is related to the declining obligation to redeem.

Capacity-market revenue projection for 2021-2024 is based on the results of main auctions for these delivery periods, taking into account the mechanisms of the agreement to re-allocate revenue within PGE Group companies. The projection after 2025 was developed by a team of experts at PGE S.A., based on assumptions concerning estimated future cash flows for generation units, on the basis of, among others, completed auctions and projections prepared by a third-party expert. As of July 1, 2025, removed from the Capacity Market are units that fail to meet the emission criterion of 550 g CO2 per kWh, except for units covered by multiannual contracts executed in main auctions for years 2021-2024.

Revenue from regulatory system services was based on existing bilateral agreements with PSE S.A.

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

3.1 Description of assumptions for theConventional Generation segment

The impairment tests were performed as at June 30, 2020 with respect to cash-generating units by determining their recoverable amount. Determination of fair value for very large groups of assets for which there is no active market and a small number of comparable transactions is very difficult in practice. In the case of power plants and mines for which a value on the local market should be determined, there are no observable fair values. Therefore, the recoverable amount of the analysed assets was determined based on value in use estimated using the discounted net cash flow method, based on financial projections prepared for the period from July 2020 to the end of their operation. 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. With longer projections, the recoverable amount can be determined in a more reliable manner.

Detailed assumptions regarding the segment

Presented below are the key assumptions having impact on estimates of the value in use of the tested CGUs:

  • recognition of the following entities as a single CGU:
    • Branch Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego Bełchatów and Branch Elektrownia Bełchatów ("Bełchatów Complex"),
    • Branch Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego Turów and Branch Elektrownia Turów ("Turów Complex"),
  • recognition of Elektrownia Dolna Odra, Elektrownia Szczecin and Elektrownia Pomorzany, forming part of the Branch Zespół
    Elektrowni Dolna Odra, as three separate CGUs,
  • assumption that in the period after June 2025 there will be support from the capacity market or equivalent only for units that meet the emission criterion of 550 g of CO2 for electricity produced per kWh, whereby multiannual contracts concluded in auctions for 2021-2024 will be performed in accordance with their term,
  • taking into account work cost optimisation resulting from current work plans, among other things,
  • maintaining production capacities as a result of replacement-type investments,
  • taking into account development investments for which construction works are in progress,
  • assuming the weighted average cost of capital after tax after tax over the projection period of 6.5%-8.0%, differentiated for individual CGUs according to the risk level assessed on a case by case basis.

Below are the results of the tests performed for CGUs for which impairment was identified:

3.2 Analysis of indicationsof impairment of generation assets in theDistrict Heatingsegment

In previous reporting periods, PGE Group recognised significant impairment losses for non-current assets in the District Heating segment. Key assumptions used in asset impairment tests carried out in 2019 are described in the consolidated financial statements of PGE Group for 2019.

In the current reporting period, the Group analysed the impairment indications in order to verify whether these assets have been impaired or whether previously recognised impairment losses have reversed.

The most significant factors analysed included:

  • analysis of the financial plan,
  • confirmation whether the investment plan remains valid,
  • analysis of energy and gas price,
  • analysis of assumptions concerning the so-called Capacity Market, support for cogeneration,
  • analysis of estimated margins on production and sale of electricity in future periods, in the light of projections of prices of energy, hard coal and CO2 emission allowances.

The analysis of indications for the District Heating segment showed that the generating units implement the financial plan in accordance with the assumptions. Natural gas, electricity, coal and CO2 emission allowance price projections available to PGE Group result in favourable projections of margins. Assumptions for the Capacity Market remain unchanged compared to 2019. At the same time, PGE Group believes that the assumptions adopted in 2019 regarding the support for cogeneration remain valid as at September 30, 2020. Therefore, PGE Group believes that as at the reporting date there are no indications for recognising impairment losses on non-current assets of the District Heating segment or for reversing impairment losses recognized in prior periods.

Some important regulatory assumptions made for impairment tests are beyond the control of PGE Group and their materialization in the future is uncertain. This concerns in particular issues related to the shape of the Polish capacity market after July 1, 2025 or allocation of free CO2 emission allowances after 2020. In these areas, the Group relies on current assumptions about developments in regulations, which are subject to risk. Future changes to these regulations, compared to PGE's current expectations, may have an impact on the assessment of the recoverable amount of generation assets in the District Heating segment.

3.3 Analysis of indicationsof impairment of generation assets in theRenewables segment

In 2019, PGE Group reversed impairment losses on non-current assets in the Renewables segment recognised in previous reporting periods. Key assumptions used in asset impairment tests carried out in 2019 are described in the consolidated financial statements of PGE Group for 2019.

In the current reporting period, the Group analysed the impairment indications in order to verify whether these assets have been impaired or whether previously recognised impairment losses have reversed.

The most significant factors analysed included:

  • analysis of the financial plan,
  • confirmation whether the investment plan remains valid,
  • analysis of energy, gas and energy origin rights prices,
  • analysis of assumptions concerning the so-called Capacity Market,
  • analysis of estimated margins on production and sale of electricity in future periods, in the light of projections of prices of energy.

The analysis of indications for the Renewables segment showed that the generating units implement the financial plan above the assumed values. Assumptions for the capacity market for pumped-storage power plants and hydropower plants adopted as at December 31, 2019 are valid as at September 30, 2020. Therefore, PGE Group believes that as at the reporting date there are no indications for recognising impairment losses on non-current assets of the Renewables segment or for reversing impairment losses recognized in prior periods.

Some important regulatory assumptions made for impairment tests are beyond the control of PGE Group and their materialization in the future is uncertain. This applies in particular to projections of prices of energy origin rights the uncertainty of which results from the unstable legal and regulatory situation related to the functioning of the energy origin system.

Derivatives

The Group measures derivatives at fair value using valuation models for financial instruments based on publicly available exchange rates, interest rates, discount curves in 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 on the difference between the forward rate and transaction price. Forward exchange rates are not modelled as separate risk factor, but are derived from the spot rate and appropriate forward interest rate for foreign currencies in 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 gases emission rights - currency and commodity forwards, contracts for the purchase and sale of coal, commodity SWAPs (Level 2).

In addition, the Group presents CCIRS derivative that hedges foreign exchange rate and interest rate and IRS hedging transaction swapping variable interest rate in PLN to fixed interest rate in PLN (Level 2).

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

6. Information on operating segments

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

Relevant assets are assigned to the held concessions on lignite mining and generation and distribution of electricity and heat, which was presented in detailed information on operating segments. For its concessions concerning electricity and heat the Group incurs annual charges dependent on the level of turnover, whereas for conducting licensed extraction of lignite the exploitation charges as well as fees for the use of mining are borne. The exploitation charges depend on the current rate and the volume of the extraction.

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

  • Conventional Generation comprises exploration and mining of lignite and generation of electricity from conventional sources as well as ancillary services.
  • District heating comprises the generation of electricity from cogeneration units and the transmission and distribution of heat.
  • Renewables comprise generation of electricity in pumped-storage power plants and from renewable sources.
  • Supply includes sales and purchases of electricity and natural gas on the wholesale market, trading in CO2 emissions allowances and energy origin rights, sales and purchases of fuel, as well as sales of electricity and rendering services to final customers.
  • Distribution comprises management over local distribution networks and transmission of electricity in these networks.
  • Other operations comprise services rendered by the subsidiaries for the Group, e.g. fund raising, IT, telecommunication, accounting and HR, and transport services. Additionally, the other operations segment comprises the activities of a subsidiary whose main business is preparation and implementation of a nuclear power plant construction project, investments in startups.

Organisation and management over PGE Group is based on segment reporting separated by nature of the products and services provided. Each segment represents a strategic business unit, offering different products and serving different markets. Assignment of particular entities to operating segments is described in note 1.3 to these consolidated financial statements. Inter-segment transactions are disclosed as if they were concluded with third parties - under market conditions. When analysing the results of particular business segments the management of PGE Group draws attention primarily to EBITDA.

Seasonality of business segments

Main factors affecting the demand for electricity and heat are: weather conditions - air temperature, wind force, rainfall, socio-economic factors - number of energy consumers, energy product prices, growth of GDP and technological factors - advances in technology, product manufacturing technology. Each of these factors has an impact on technical and economic conditions of production, distribution and transmission of energy carriers, thus influence the results obtained by PGE Group.

The level of electricity sales is variable throughout a year and depends especially on weather conditions - air temperature, length of the day. Growth in electricity demand is particularly evident in winter periods, while lower demands are observed during the summer months. Moreover, seasonal changes are evident among selected groups of final customers. Seasonality effects are more significant for households than for the industrial sector.

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 this segment.

Sales of heat depend in particular on air temperature and are higher in winter and lower in summer.

As disclosed in note 3.1 these financial statements, following impairment tests performed, as at June 30, 2020 the Group recognised impairment losses on non-current assets in the amount of PLN 530 million under Amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses.

The increase in the cost of goods and materials sold results from the increase in the purchase of electricity on the wholesale market and on the balancing market, which is related to the fulfillment of the exchange sale requirement of 100% by the Producers, larger reductions than in previous years, and thus lower production of electricity and purchase on the exchange market in order to secure the sale to final off-takers.

7.2.1 Depreciation, amortisation, disposal and impairment losses

The following presents depreciation, amortisation, disposals and impairment losses of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and investment property in the statement of comprehensive income.

METHOD

Due to the extremely restrictive policy of the European Union towards hard coal, the prospects for the hard coal mining sector seem to be extremely challenging. PGE analyses the investment in PGG S.A. on an ongoing basis in the context of external, including market- related, and internal conditions. In particular, PGE notes the difficult personnel and payroll policy in the sector, where the social partners expect salary increases or additional benefits regardless of the financial performance of mining companies. Additionally, the need to extract coal from lower and lower deposits, resulting from the specific nature of PGG's mines, has an adverse impact on the profitability of production.

It should also be noted that the profitability of PGG, which was one of the most important prerequisites for the investment decision of PGE Group, significantly deviates (to the disadvantage) from the assumptions adopted in the business plan prepared in 2014 when the company was established.

The above, combined with the decreasing demand for coal in subsequent periods, which is reflected in projections available to PGE, constituted a premise for remeasurement of the value in use of PGG S.A. shares.

Following the test, an impairment loss of PLN 310 million was recognised on the investment in PGG. After the recognition of the impairment loss, the carrying amount of PGG in the consolidated financial statements of PGE Group is 0.

In the corresponding period, the CO2 emission allowances included EUA resulting from the additional allocation of the CO2 emission allowances for 2013-2017. These allowances were held for trading purposes and were sold in the first quarter of 2020.

15. CO2 emission allowances for captive use

CO2 emission allowances are received by power generating units belonging to PGE Group, which are covered by the Act dated June 12, 2015 on a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading. Starting from 2013, only part of emission rights for production of heat will be granted unconditionally, while for production of electricity there is, as a rule, lack of free of charge EUA. Pursuant to Article 10c of Directive 2009/29/EC, the derogation from the from the principle of purchasing CO2 emission allowances associated with electricity generation at auction is possible providing the realization of investment tasks included in National Investment Plan. The condition under which free of charge CO2 emission rights can be obtained is presentation of factual-financial statements from realization of tasks included in National Investment Plan.

In September 2019, PGE Group submitted reports on investments included in the National Investment Plan in order to obtain CO2 EUA allocations for power generating installations. The requested allowances (12 million of EUA allowanced) were released to the operator's accounts in the EU register in April 2020.

In September 2020, PGE Group submitted reports on investments included in the National Investment Plan in connection with expenses incurred for investment tasks in the period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. This period is the last reporting period in the current settlement period. Under the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of April 8, 2014, listing electricity generating installations covered by the greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme, PGE Group's installations are not eligible for free emission allowances in 2020.

In the case of EUAs for CO2 emissions related to heating, the allocation schedule is different - in February 2020 EUAs were allocated for the coverage of CO2 emissions for 2020 (1 million EUAs).

Commodity and currency forwards

Commodity and currency forward transactions mainly relate to trade in CO2 emission allowances and to sales of coal. To recognise currency futures related to the purchase of CO2 allowances, the Group uses hedge accounting.

Options

On January 20, 2017 PGE S.A. purchased a call option to purchase shares of Polimex-Mostostal S.A. from Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. The option was measured using the Black-Scholes method.

Coal swaps

In the current period, PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o., in order to hedge the commodity risk related to the price of imported coal, executed a number of transactions to hedge this risk using commodity swaps for coal. The number and value of these transactions is correlated to the quantity and value of imported coal. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Purchase and sale contracts with physical delivery of coal

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. As at the reporting date, the Company held contracts that would be performed in 2021.

IRS transactions

PGE S.A. entered into IRS transactions to hedge interest rates on credit facilities and bonds issued with a total nominal value of PLN 7,030 million. To recognise these IRS transactions, the Group uses hedge accounting. The impact of hedge accounting on the revaluation reserve is presented in note 18.2 to these consolidated financial statements.

CCIRS hedges

In connection with loans received from PGE Sweden AB (publ), 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. pays interest based on a fixed rate in PLN. In the consolidated financial statements, a relevant part of the CCIRS transactions is treated as a security for bonds issued by PGE Sweden AB (publ).

Investment fund participation units

In previous years, PGE S.A. purchased investment certificates in three sub-funds established and managed by TFI Energia S.A.; their value as at the reporting date is PLN 54 million.

18. Equity

The basic objective of the Group's policy regarding equity management is to maintain an optimal equity structure over the long-term perspective, assure a good financial standing and secure equity structure ratios that would support the operating activity of PGE Group. It is also crucial to maintain a sound equity base that would be the basis to win confidence of potential investors, creditors and the market and assure further development of the Group.

Shareholder rights - State Treasury rights concerning the Company's activities

The Company is a member of PGE Group, in respect of which the State Treasury holds special rights as long as it remains a shareholder.

Special rights of the State Treasury that are applicable to PGE Group entities derive from the Act of March 18, 2010 on special rights of the Minister of Energy and their performance in certain companies and groups operating in the electricity, oil and gaseous fuels sectors ( Official Journal from 2016, item 2012). The aforesaid Act specifies the particular rights entitled to the Minister of Energy related to companies and groups operating in the electricity, oil and gaseous fuels sectors whose property was disclosed within the register of buildings, installations, equipment and services included in critical infrastructure.

Based on this act the Minister of Energy has the right to object to any resolution or legal action of the Management Board that relates to the ability to dispose of a part of Company's property, which may result in threat to functioning, continuity of operations and integrity of critical infrastructure. The objection can also be expressed against any resolution adopted that relates to:

  • dissolution of company,
  • changes of the use or discontinuance of exploitation of an asset that is a component of critical infrastructure,
  • change in the Company's principal business activity,
  • sale or lease of, or creation of limited property rights in, the Company's business or its organised part,
  • adoption of a budget, plan of investment activities, or a long-term strategic plan,
  • relocation of the Company's registered office abroad,

if the implementation of any such resolution could constitute a material threat to the security, continuity or integrity of critical infrastructure operations. The objection is expressed in the form of an administrative decision.

Due to the change of market interest rates, PGE Group updated the discounting rate applied for the measurement of rehabilitation end employee benefit provisions. The discounting rate for the costs of rehabilitation of mining excavations is 2.15% (2.8% as at December 31, 2019). The discounting rate for the employee benefits provision and other provisions for rehabilitation costs is 1.4% (2.0% as at December 31, 2019). Changes in the discounting rate resulted in:

  • An increase in the rehabilitation provision, with a corresponding increase of PLN 434 million in other operating expenses;
  • An increase in the rehabilitation provision, with a corresponding increase of PLN 943 million in property, plant and equipment;
  • An increase in the provision for post-employment benefits, with a corresponding decrease of PLN 176 million in other comprehensive income;
  • An increase in the provision for jubilee awards, with a corresponding increase of PLN 40 million in operating expenses.

Contingent return of grants from environmental funds

The liabilities represent the value of possible future reimbursements of funds received by PGE Group companies from environmental funds for certain investment projects. The funds will be reimbursed if investment projects for which they were granted, do not bring the expected environmental effect.

Legal claims

Dispute with Worley Parsons

The contingent liability is mainly related to the dispute with WorleyParsons. WorleyParsons made a claim for payment of PLN 59 million due to the claimant and for the return of the amount that in the claimant's opinion was unduly collected by PGE EJ 1 sp. z o.o. from a bank guarantee, and later the claim extended to PLN 104 million (i.e. by PLN 45 million). On March 31, 2018, the company filed a response to WorleyParsons' expanded claim. The Group has not recognised the claims and believes that the court is unlikely to award them to the claimant.

Bank guarantee liabilities

These liabilities comprise bank guarantees provided as collateral for exchange transactions resulting from membership in the Warsaw Commodity Clearing House. In the comparative period, guarantees amounted to PLN 1,846 million. The decrease in guarantees results from the offsetting agreement concluded in January 2020 between PGE Group companies. Under this agreement, in accordance with the Regulations of the Exchange Clearing House, security deposits within the energy group may be compensated, owing to which offsetting positions within the PGE Group were compensated and thus no longer required security.

Perpetual usufruct of land

Contingent liabilities on account of perpetual usufruct of land are related to the received update of annual fees for perpetual usufruct. Branches of PGE GiEK S.A. have appealed against the decisions received to the Local Government Appeal Courts. The value of the contingent liability was measured as the difference between the discounted sum of updated perpetual usufruct fees for the entire period for which the perpetual usufruct was established and the liability on account of perpetual usufruct of land which was recognised in the accounting records on the basis of previously applicable fees.

Other contingent liabilities

Other contingent liabilities mainly comprise a potential claim by WorleyParsons amounting to PLN 33 million (as described above), and PLN 2 million from the imbalance between purchases and sales of energy in the domestic market. In the previous year, as at December 31, 2019, this event related to contingent receivables and amounted to PLN 33 million.

22.2 Other significant issues related to contingent liabilities

Non-contractual use of property

As described in note 19.5 to these financial statements, PGE Group recognises provision for disputes under court proceedings concerning non-contractual use of properties intended for distribution activities. In addition, PGE Group is involved in disputes at an earlier stage of proceedings and it cannot be excluded that the number and value of similar disputes will increase in the future.

Contractual liabilities related to purchase of fuels

According to the concluded agreements for the purchase of fuels (mainly coal and natural gas), PGE Group companies are obliged to collect the minimum volume of fuels and not to exceed the maximum level of collection of gas fuel in particular periods. Failure to collect the minimum volumes of fuels specified in the contracts, may result in extra fees being imposed (in case of certain agreement for the purchase of gas fuel, the volume not collected by power plants but paid up may be collected within the next periods).

In PGE Group's opinion, the terms and conditions of fuel deliveries to its power generating units as described above do not differ from the terms and conditions of fuel deliveries to other power generating units in the Polish market.

22.3 Contingent receivables

As at the reporting date, PGE Group held PLN 72 million in contingent receivables from potential return of overpaid excise duty. The Group is waiting for the Supreme Administrative Court's decision on what excise duty rate should be applied to settle the excise duty relief for the surrender of Property Rights arising from renewable energy sources before January 1, 2019.

In PGE Group's opinion, the rate in force at the time of sale of electricity generated from renewable energy sources to the final user, i.e. 20 PLN/MWh, should be used to settle the said relief. This position was sustained by the judgment of the Regional Administrative Court in Rzeszów of October 8, 2019.

On November 20, 2019, the tax authority filed a cassation appeal against the above mentioned ruling of the Provincial Administrative Court.

22.4 Other legal claims and disputes

Compensation for conversion of shares

Former shareholders of PGE GiEK S.A. filed motions to courts to summon PGE S.A. to a conciliation hearing concerning payment of compensation for incorrect (in their opinion) determination of the exchange ratio of shares of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. into shares of PGE S.A. during a consolidation process that took place in 2010. The total value of claims resulting from summons to a conciliation hearing made by the former shareholders of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. amounts to over PLN 10 million.

Irrespective of the foregoing, on November 12, 2014 Socrates Investment S.A. (an entity which purchased claims from former PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. shareholders) filed a lawsuit to impose a compensation in the total amount of over PLN 493 million (plus interest) for damage incurred in respect of incorrect (in their opinion) determination of the exchange ratio of shares in the merger of PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka S.A. and PGE S.A. The Company filed a response to the lawsuit. At present, the first instance court proceedings are pending. A hearing concerning appointment of an expert was held on November 20, 2018. Currently, experts are in the process of preparing their opinions. The next hearing will be scheduled ex officio.

Moreover, a similar claim was raised by Pozwy sp. z o.o., a buyer of claims from the former shareholders of PGE Elektrownia Opole S.A. Through a lawsuit filed at the District Court in Warsaw against PGE GiEK S.A., PGE S.A. and PwC Polska sp. z o.o. ("Defendants"), Pozwy sp. z o.o. demanded from the Defendants, in solidum, or jointly damages for Pozwy sp. z o.o. totalling over PLN 260 million with interest for allegedly incorrect (in its opinion) determination of 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 served on PGE S.A. on March 9, 2017, and the deadline for responding to it was set by the court as July 9, 2017. The following companies: PGE S.A. and PGE GiEK S.A. submitted a response to the claim on July 8, 2017. On September 28, 2018, the District Court in Warsaw ruled in the first instance and the lawsuit by Pozwy sp. z o.o. against PGE S.A., PGE GiEK S.A. and PWC Polska sp. z o.o. was dismissed. On April 8, 2019, PGE S.A. received a copy of the appeal filed by the claimant on December 7, 2018. A response to the appeal was prepared on April 23, 2019. The Court of Appeal scheduled the hearing for August 28, 2020. Due to the complexity of the case, the hearing was postponed. The hearing date set for October 26, 2020 was cancelled. The new date is not yet known.

PGE Group companies have not recognised the claims made 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 in a fair and correct manner. The value of shares subject to the process of consolidation was established by an independent company, PwC Polska sp. z o.o. Additionally, merger plans of the companies mentioned above, including the exchange ratios, were examined for accuracy and reliability by an expert appointed by the registration court; no irregularities were found. Next, the court registered the mergers of the aforementioned companies.

PGE Group has not recognised any provisions for these claims.

Termination by Enea S.A. of agreements for sale of certificates

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 from Enea S.A. termination of long-term contracts for purchase of renewable energy origin certificates, so called "green certificates". In the explanatory statement of the termination, Enea S.A. claimed that the companies significantly breached the provisions of these contracts, i.e. failed to re-negotiate contractual provisions in accordance with the adaptive clause, as requested by Enea S.A. in July 2015 in connection with an alleged change in legal regulations having impact on performance of these contracts.

In the opinion of PGE Group, notices of termination of contracts presented by Enea S.A. were filled in with a violation terms of the agreements. The companies took appropriate steps to enforce their rights. With Enea S.A. refusing to perform long-term contracts to purchase energy origin certificates 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. have demanded from Enea S.A. payment of contractual penalties, while PGE EO S.A. has demanded payment of compensation for damages. In October 2020, at the request of the parties, the court proceedings were suspended due to the willingness of the parties to hold settlement negotiations as an alternative dispute resolution method.

Due to the fact that according to PGE Group termination notices presented by Enea S.A. were submitted in breach of contractual terms, as at September 30, 2020, the Group recognised contractual penalty and compensation receivables of PLN 161 million (of which PLN 8 million was recognised as present-period revenues). According to PGE Group companies, based on available legal opinions, a favourable resolution in the above disputes is more probable than an unfavourable one.

of these consolidated financial statements.

39 of 52

PGE Group Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

for the 3- and 9-month periods ended September 30, 2020, in accordance with IFRS EU (in PLN million)

The estimated volume of green certificates covered by the contracts with Enea S.A. amounts to approximately 2,698 thousand MWh. The above amount was calculated for the period from the date of termination of the contracts to the end of the expected initial term of the contracts.

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 energy origin certificates based on these contracts. Enea S.A. refused to pay these receivables, claiming that they were offset by receivables from the Group's companies related to compensation for alleged damages arising as a result of the companies' failure to re-negotiate the contracts. According to Group companies, such offsets are groundless because Enea S.A.'s receivables concerning the payment of compensation never arose and there are no grounds for acknowledging Enea S.A.'s claim that the companies breached contractual provisions. In October 2020, at the request of the parties, the court proceedings were suspended due to the willingness of the parties to hold settlement negotiations as an alternative dispute resolution method.

23. Tax settlements

Tax obligations and rights are specified in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, tax regulations and ratified international agreements. According to the tax ordinance, tax is defined as public, unpaid, obligatory and non-returnable cash liability toward the State Treasury, provincial or other regional authorities resulting from the tax act. Taking into account the subject criterion, current taxes in Poland can be divided into five groups: taxation of incomes, taxation of turnover, taxation of assets, taxation of activities and other, not classified elsewhere.

From the point of view of business entities, the most important is the taxation of income (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 social security charges.

Basic tax rates in 2020 were as follows: corporate income tax rate - 19%, for smaller enterprises a 9% rate is likely; 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 a significant changeability of tax regulations, their high complexity and high potential fees for commitment of a tax crime or violation. Tax settlements and other activity areas are conditioned by regulations (customs or currency inspections) and can be subject to inspections by respective authorities that are entitled to issue fines and penalties with penalty interest. Inspections may cover tax settlements for the period of 5 years after the end of calendar year in which the tax was due.

Tax group

An agreement for a tax group named PGK PGE 2015, whose representative is PGE S.A., was signed on September 18, 2014 for a period of 25 years.

Companies included in the tax group must meet a number of requirements including: appropriate level of equity, parent's stake in PGK companies of at least 75%, lack of capital ties between subsidiaries, no tax arrears, share in total revenue of at least 2% (counted at tax group level), and execution of transactions with related parties from outside the tax group only on market terms. Any violation of these requirements will result in the tax group being dissolved and losing its taxpayer status. When the tax group is dissolved, each of its member companies will become an independent payer of corporate income tax. Following the introduction of provisions on counteracting the effects of COVID-19, the requirement to achieve a share in revenues of at least 2% for 2020 has been suspended.

VAT split payment mechanism, obligation to make payments to accounts registered with tax offices

The Group uses funds received from counterparties in VAT accounts to pay its liabilities that contain VAT. The level of funds in these VAT accounts at a given date depends mainly on the number of the Group's counterparties that decide to use this mechanism and on the relation between the payment dates of receivables and liabilities. As at September 30, 2020, the cash balance in these VAT accounts totalled PLN 278 million.

On January 1, 2020, regulations under which entrepreneurs are required to make payments to their counterparties - active VAT payers - for goods or services purchased with a value exceeding PLN 15 thousand only to their accounts that have been registered with the tax office (the so-called white list) came into force. As a rule, payment to an account not registered with the tax office excludes the right to consider such expenditure as a tax-deductible expense. Only by notifying the tax authority in a specific form and time of the payment made on an account not included in the "white list" can the right to settle the expense as a tax-deductible expense be retained. On July 1, 2020, regulations were introduced under which a payment made under the split payment mechanism excludes sanctions related to the payment to an account not included in the "white list". Given that the Group's principle is to make payments using the split payment method, the aforementioned risk is mitigated.

of these consolidated financial statements.

Reporting of tax schemes (MDR)

Up from 2019, new legal regulations that introduced mandatory reporting of the so-called tax schemes (Mandatory Disclosure Rules, MDR) came into force. As a general rule, a tax scheme means an activity whose main or one of the main benefits is the achievement of a tax advantage. In addition, events with so called special or other special hallmarks, defined in the regulations, were indicated as a tax scheme. The reporting obligation applies to three types of entities: promoters, facilitators and beneficiaries. MDR regulations are complex and imprecise in many areas, which raises doubts as to their practical application.

Excise tax

As a result of the incorrect implementation of EU regulations in the Polish legal system, in 2009 PGE GiEK S.A. initiated proceedings regarding reimbursement of the improperly paid excise tax for the period from January 2006 to February 2009. The irregularity consisted in taxing electricity at the first stage of sales, i.e. at the sale by producers, when it was the sale to final customers that should have been taxed.

Having examined PGE GiEK S.A.'s complaints with regard to the restitution claims against decisions issued by tax authorities refusing to confirm the overpayment of excise tax, administrative courts ruled that PGE GiEK S.A. did not bear the economic burden of the improperly calculated excise tax (which in the context of the resolution by the Supreme Administrative Court of June 22, 2011, file no. I GPS 1/11, precludes the return of overpaid amounts). According to the Supreme Administrative Court, the claims that PGE GiEK S.A. sought, especially using economic analyses, are of an offsetting nature and therefore could be sought only in civil courts. Given the above, PGE GiEK S.A. decided to withdraw from the proceedings as regards restitution claims. Currently, the actions concerning the overpaid excise tax are pending in the civil courts. On January 10, 2020, the District Court issued a ruling in a case brought by PGE GiEK against the State Treasury - the Minister of Finance. The court dismissed the claim. On February 3, 2020, the Company appealed against the decision of the first instance to the Warsaw Court of Appeals.

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 courts in connection with the improperly paid excise tax.

Property tax

Tax on property constitutes a significant burden on certain PGE Group companies. Regulations concerning property tax are unclear in certain areas and give rise to a variety of interpretation doubts. Tax authorities, i.e. municipality leader, mayor or city president, have often issued inconsistent tax interpretations in similar cases. Due to the above, PGE Group companies have been and may be parties to court proceedings concerning property tax. If the Group considers that an adjustment of settlements is likely due to such a proceeding, it recognises an appropriate provision.

Uncertainty related to tax settlements

Regulations on value added tax, corporate income tax, and social security contributions are subject to frequent amendments, with the effect being lack of appropriate points of reference, conflicting interpretations, and scarcity of established precedents which could be followed. Furthermore, the applicable tax laws lack clarity, which leads to differences in opinions and diverse interpretations of tax regulations, both between various public authorities and between public authorities and businesses.

Tax settlements and other regulated areas of activity (e.g. customs or foreign exchange control) are subject to inspection by administrative bodies, which are authorised to impose high penalties and fines, and any additional tax liabilities arising from such inspections must be paid with high interest. Consequently, tax risk in Poland is higher than in countries with more stable tax systems.

The amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements may therefore change in the future as a result of a final decision by a tax inspection authority.

The Polish Tax Legislation Act contains the provisions of the General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR). GAAR is intended to prevent the creation and use of abusive arrangements to avoid paying taxes in Poland. Under GAAR, tax avoidance is an arrangement the main purpose of which is to obtain a tax advantage which is contrary to the objectives and purpose of the tax legislation. According to GAAR, such measures do not lead to the achievement of a tax benefit if the scheme used was artificial. Any arrangements involving separation of transactions or operations without a sufficient rationale, engaging intermediaries where no business or economic rationale exists, any offsetting elements, and any arrangements that operate in a similar way, may be viewed as an indication of the existence of an abusive arrangement subject to GAAR. The new regulations will require much more judgement to be exercised when assessing the tax consequences of particular transactions.

The GAAR clause should be applied with respect to arrangements made after its effective date as well as arrangements that were made before its effective date but benefits of the tax advantage obtained through the arrangement continued or still continue after that date. Implementation of the above regulations will provide Polish tax inspection authorities with grounds to challenge certain legal arrangements made by taxpayers, including restructuring or reorganisation of corporate groups.

25. Significant events during and after the reporting period

25.1 Act amendingtheact on excisedutyand certain other acts

On December 28, 2018, an act amending the act on excise duty and certain other acts was adopted. The Act aimed to stabilise electricity prices for final customers in 2019. The Act, among other things, froze the level of electricity prices for final off-takers and introduced a compensation scheme for retail companies.

In 2019, the Group recognised income from expected and received compensations in the amount of PLN 1,148 million, of which PLN 845 million was received by December 31, 2019, and further PLN 286 million by the date of these financial statements.

On September 25, 2020, PGE Obrót S.A. submitted a request to Zarządca Rozliczeń S.A. to adjust the received amount of the price difference and financial compensation for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2019 to PLN 85 million (of which PLN 17 million was recognized in revenues in 2019 and PLN 68 million represents current period's revenues).On October 1, 2020, the Company received from Zarządca Rozliczeń S.A. a request to correct the irregularities found during the verification of the Adjustment Request. Corrections related to this request do not represent significant values.

25.2 Onerous contracts resultingfrom, amongother, theapproval of atariff forG tariffgroup customers

On January 3, 2020, the President of the ERO approved the tariff for PGE Obrót S.A. for G tariff group customers who do not use free market offers for the sale of electricity in the period from 18 January 2020 to 31 March 2020. The approved price level does not fully cover the purchase prices of electricity, property rights and own costs, which result in the loss of profitability of sales made by PGE Obrót S.A. to G tariff group customers who do not use free market offers for the sale of electricity and customers from this tariff group who use free market offers, where the sales price is correlated with the price approved by the President of ERO. The Management Board of PGE Obrót S.A. commenced the procedure of applying to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office for another tariff for the sale of electricity for the period from April 1 to December 31, 2020. The measures taken are aimed at obtaining such electricity sales prices that will allow to cover the actual electricity contracting costs, property rights and operating expenses of the company. By decision of July 8, 2020, the President of ERO rejected the application concerning this matter. On July 29, 2020, PGE Obrót S.A. filed an appeal against this decision.

Effects on reporting

As far as onerous contracts are concerned within the meaning of IAS 37, in Group's opinion, there were no such contracts as at September 30, 2020 due to the positive margin generated between the cost of producing energy and its sale to the final customer. Accordingly, consolidated figures of PGE Group do not include the recognition, use and reversal of the respective provisions.

In turn, during these three quarters of 2020, the Supply segment reversed PLN 256 million from the provision for onerous contracts recognised in 2019. This had no effect on the results of PGE Group.

25.3 Impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on PGE Group's operations

PGE Group identifies, on an ongoing basis, the risk factors that affect the Group's performance regarding COVID-19 pandemic. They were also taken into account in the impairment tests of non-current assets and financial non-current assets. As at September 30, 2020, the impact on financial performance remained limited. Nevertheless, further effects of the pandemic may become apparent in the following periods, particularly if a decision of the lock down of Polish economy is made . The nature and scale of possible further effects are difficult to estimate. What will be important is the duration of the epidemic, its potential increased severity and extent, as well as its impact on economic growth in Poland. At the same time, the accuracy of estimates remains difficult in view of a number of other factors affecting the power market, including the level of demand for electricity.

The outbreak of the pandemic has led to expected economic slowdown in 2020 in the global economy and in Poland. These are reflected, among others, in the revision of market projections for GDP, industrial output and investments.

The additional notes constitute an integral part

of these consolidated financial statements.

43 of 52

PGE Group Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

for the 3- and 9-month periods ended September 30, 2020, in accordance with IFRS EU (in PLN million)

Due to the reduced level of economic activity, PGE Group identifies the risk that the lower level of domestic electricity consumption will continue. This affects the decrease in revenues and margins from energy generation, distribution and sales in the Distribution, Supply, Conventional Generation and District Heating segments. In Conventional Generation there was identified increase in margins comparatively to planned values.

A decline in demand for electricity affects the utilisation of generation units. A part of the PGE Group's generation units is held in the so- called spinning reserve and secures potential shortages of supplies from renewable sources, imports or those that result from failures of other commercial power plants in Poland. The majority of production was contracted in previous periods, thus in the short term the negative impact of lower production volumes on the Conventional Generation segment should be significantly limited. The negative effect should be related to potential reductions on the part of the Transmission System Operator, resulting in lower production from lignite, which is characterized by a relatively stable cost structure. The PGE Group expects, however, an impact on contracting volumes and prices for subsequent periods, but at this stage this impact cannot be estimated.

For the Supply segment, the decrease in demand volume became apparent primarily in the second quarter of this year, and the negative impact was associated with a lower level of sales to final off-takers and higher cost of balancing electricity. Also in the Distribution segment, a lower volume of deliveries made to final off-takes directly translates into lower revenues earned on this account. Taking into account the whole value creation chain, the impact of the above factors on the Group level was not significant.

As at September 30, 2020, the impact of the expected increase in payment congestion, especially regarding receivables from small and medium-sized enterprises, was not significant. As described in note 2.4 to these financial statements, the Group recognised additional impairment losses on receivables in the amount of PLN 22 million. On the other hand, depending on the further epidemiological and economic situation, the risk of deteriorated liquidity of PGE Group and increased impairment losses on overdue receivables still exists and is monitored on an ongoing basis. Currently, the Group does not expect the phenomenon to become more material and does not identify any liquidity risk.

PGE Group's plants are of strategic importance for maintaining undisturbed production and supply of electricity and heat in Poland. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the change of work organisation, especially with respect to PGE Group's generation units. In many cases, this involves additional costs resulting from, for example, the purchase of protective materials for employees. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Group has introduced work rules that aim to reduce, as much as possible, the health risk for employees. As one of the largest employers in Poland, with 42 thousand employees, PGE Group takes a number of measures to protect the health and life of its employees, including the implementation of teleworking and rotating work, raising awareness of, in particular, the basic principles of protection against coronavirus, prevention, quarantine, as well as those related to the organisation of the company and work to ensure business continuity. PGE has established a Crisis Team to collect information from all Group companies, monitor the situation in individual companies on an ongoing basis and take appropriate steps.

The production branches also have plans for operation with non-standard absenteeism that are developed and verified on an ongoing basis, and as plants of strategic importance from the point of view of maintaining undisturbed production and supply of electricity and heat, they are in constant contact with local authorities responsible for monitoring the situation in the country and in all locations of PGE Group entities.

In the area of retail customer service, PGE Group focused primarily on expanding remote service channels.

From an operational point of view, owing to the introduction of appropriate countermeasures at the early stage of the pandemic, PGE has been continuously producing electricity and heat and ensuring their uninterrupted supply.

PGE Group has been monitoring the further impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of the PGE Group and is preparing for various scenarios. The pandemic has accelerated the introduction of measures to prepare the entire organisation to changes in order to tackle the decarbonisation challenges faced by energy companies. This will require considerable financial expenditure. All potential savings scenarios for both capital expenditures and operating costs were analysed in order to focus on the most important development projects related to the core business of PGE Group.

25.4 Publication of thePoland's EnergyPolicyuntil 2040

On September 8, 2020, the Minister of Climate submitted an updated draft of Poland's Energy Policy until 2040 to the Coordinating Committee for Development Policy for its opinion and to the Minister of Regional Development for an opinion on compliance with the national medium-term strategy. The document is of key importance for the national energy sector, as it sets out the framework for the energy transformation in Poland. PEP2040 is to take into account the scale of the challenges related to the adaptation of the national economy to the EU regulatory environment related to the climate and energy targets for 2030, the European Green Deal, the post-COVID pandemic economic recovery plan and the pursuit of climate neutrality in the second half of the 21st century.

Through the implementation of the objectives and measures indicated in PEP2040, a low-carbon energy transformation is to be carried out with an active role for the final off-takers and the involvement of domestic industry.

The direction of the transformation of the Polish energy sector indicated in the document presented remains consistent with the objectives of the PGE Group's Strategy until 2030.

Draft PEP2040 will be published after receiving a positive opinion of the Coordination Committee for Development Policy chaired by the Minister of Funds and Regional Policy.

25.5 Submission of an initial offerto acquireinterest inthe assets of theFortumGroup

On October 27, 2020, an investment consortium in which PGE is a member submitted an initial non-binding offer to purchase district heating and cooling businesses in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland from Fortum Holding B.V. The members of the Consortium are: PGE, Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A., PFR Inwestycje FIZ which is managed by Polski Fundusz Rozwoju S.A. (Polish Development Fund) and IFM Investors Pty Ltd.

On November 16, 2020 PGE and Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A. (the "Partners"), submitted a revised, initial non-binding offer to acquire certain assets owned by Fortum Holding B. V. (the "Offer").

Under the revised Offer, the Partners are bidding for the district heating business operated by Fortum Holding B.V. exclusively in Poland. The Partners abandoned their original intention to purchase the Fortum Group's assets operating in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, and decided they would not participate in the investment consortium with PFR Inwestycje FIZ and IFM Investors Pty Ltd.

The Partners will continue to work together towards the submission of a binding offer.

The core business of Fortum Holding B.V.'s Polish subsidiary is generation, distribution and sale of heat and the generation of electricity.

The acquisition of the Fortum Group's assets is consistent with the PGE Group's Strategy until 2030, announced on October 19, 2020.

25.6 Adoptionof thePGE Group's Strategy

On October 19, 2020, the Management Board of PGE adopted the Strategy of the PGE Group until 2030 with an outlook until 2050. For a detailed description, see Section 2 of the Directors' Report on the activities of PGE Group.
