Production, supply and sales of electricity to the market

Electricity generated from PGE’s conventional assets under power exchange obligation is traded on the Polish Power Exchange (TGE). The rest of wholesale is traded directly by Supply segment.

Electricity generation from renewable sources and in pumped-storage power plants: (1) is purchased directly by Supply segment if installations located at the area of operation of PGE Dystrybucja (distribution) (2) or purchased by the supplier acting at particular area of operation.

Supply segment, apart from Group wholesale trading of electricity, is responsible for trade of all related products and fuels on domestic and international market as well as sale and supply of electricity and fuels to end-users:

(1) Business customers – enterprises and institutions, which is free market

Tariff A – large industry (high voltage) such as steelworks, mines, large factories Tariff B – Large and medium enterprises (medium voltage) such as shopping malls, hospitals and industrial customers Tariff C – Small and medium enterprises and institutions (low voltage) such as shops, service outlets, farms

(2) Households (TPA) - third-party access (TPA) rule allows sale to households on a competitive market (3) Households and housing cooperatives (G tariff group) which is regulated market.

Additionally Supply segment sells electricity to PGE Dystrybucja to cover network losses related to distribution of electricity.

Distribution segment, run by PGE Dystrybucja, is responsible for distribution of electricity to end-users through the grid and HV, MV and LV infrastructure.

Business Model - Electricity 30

Business Model – Certificates & CO2 allowances

31

Production, supply and sales of certificates to the market

Cogeneration certificates of origin (red and yellow in case of PGE) are generated in CHPs. Green certificates are generated mainly by RES installations, but are also generated in Conventional Generation segment from combustion and co-combustion of biomass in power plants and CHPs.

Trading of certificates pass mainly through the Polish Power Exchange (TGE) Some trading agreements with local suppliers include sale of green certificates together with the electricity sold.

Supply segment is responsible for wholesale trading of certificates on domestic market. Certificates of origin are purchased by Supply segment for Group needs in order to be redeemed respectively to the obligation regarding sales of electricity to end-user (currently Green, Red, Yellow, Purple, Blue and White).

Circulation of CO2 allowances

Internationally traded CO2 allowances are purchased on power exchanges and wholesale trading platforms. Supply segment mainly purchases CO2 allowances to cover emissions of Conventional Generation segment but also trades CO2 allowances. Conventional Generation segment redeems CO2 allowances respectively to its CO2 emission.

How the base power price on the Polish market is built up? (illustrative) 47

Power price is set by the marginal power plant in the system on

the variable costs basis

Typically it is hard coal as a fuel

setting the price

Hard coal price is set on the basis of the domestic

market

(PSCMI1 index rather than ARA

index)

CO2 allowances price and some

other minor environmental

costs complement the

price

Mark-up is to cover fixed costs

and to allow generation

profits

…but variable cost for the

marginal power plant depends on

its efficiency in combustion,

Coal price / efficiency

EUA price x emission

Offer price ≥ variable cost

Polish Merit Order in picture – illustrative only 48

RES installations with almost zero marginal cost, come first with guaranteed offtake, supported with RES certificates or in auction system

Pumped-storage units: working

according to TSO needs, separately remunerated

Hard-coal power plants

Average demand

CHPs – treated as „must runs”, while producing heat electricity is a by-product; Additionally supported with yellow or red certificates

Autoproducers – „must run” CHPs generating for industrial purposes with ability to deliver surplus of electricity

Gas-fired units working in condensation

• Marginal cost of thermal power plants driven mainly by the cost of fuel and price of CO2 allowances (see slide 47)

• Great importance of the generation efficiency (newer installations consume less fuel)

• Current supply and demand build up wholesale price of electricity

• Supported units are pushing thermal units out of merit order – lowering the price below variable cost of conventional generation

• Merit order varies during the day (i.a. significantly lower demand in off-peak hours) and between seasons (i.a. less CHPs in warmer months, RES affected seasonally by the weather)

• Fuels division for illustrative purposes – (*) depending on the current market conditions some more effective hard coal units could generate cheaper than less efficient lignite ones

Distorted market forces 49

• PGE is predominantly base-load generator with high volumes produced

• That is why most important for Group’s results are prices of one-year base contracts,

• Looking ahead one year forward is the most liquid contract

Market distorted due to RES subsidies

New investments are not incentivized and less efficient units might not be

modernized

Probable future shortage of capacity (as illustrated in the slide 45)

Necessity of capacity market introduction to guarantee safety and reliability not provided by the distorted energy-only

market

With growing share of RES wholesale market prices basing on variable cost are

falling down

European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) 57

The purpose is to promote reductions in CO2 emissions

Limit reduced each year. In the system’s Phase III (years 2013-2020) by 1.74% annually, what gives 21% reduction in total

Participants of the system: 28 EU countries + Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway

EU legislation puts a cap on emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) to ensure the reduction targets (mainly CO2 for power sector)

Idea

Trading mechanism

Companies buy and sell emission allowances (EUA) in auctions

Allocation of the allowances to be auctioned: 88% EU ETS member states (on the basis of the verified emissions in 2005), 10% least wealthy countries, 2% ‘Kyoto bonus’ for nine states (incl. Poland)

Auctions on specific platforms – mainly German EEX and British ICE. Poland plans to launch its own platform. So far using EEX.

Free emission allowances granted until 2013. From 2013 power generators have to cover full emission with allowances bought – excluding Poland and other new member states (free allowances granted on the basis of modernising the power sector)

These exceptions are known as derogations. The size of derogations for particular installations is determined and proposed by National Implementation Measures

Companies obliged to redeem allowances, respectively to their emissions, by 30 April of the following year. Allowances are then cancelled and taken off the market

Fine for non-compliance: 100 EUR per tonne of CO2 in 2013 with Eurozone inflation indexed yearly

ETS periods

Alternative emission units: CER/ERU (granted for reduction of emissions), exchangeable for EUA 1:1

Maximum volume to be exchanged for EUA: up to 11% of the free emissions granted in years 2008-2012 or up to 4.5% of the verified emissions in years 2013-2020

Phase I: 2005-2007

Phase II: 2008-2012

Phase III: 2013-2020

Phase IV: 2021-2030

Alternative emission certificates

EU ETS market revision – key expected changes 58

Market Stability Reserve (MSR) to be established in 2018 and become operational from 1 January 2019

The MSR is composed of 900 million allowances deducted from auctioning volumes during the period 2014-2016

The intake is currently established at the level of 100 million allowances, which are placed into MSR when the total number of allowances in circulation is less than 400 million

The European Council may decide to increase the intake up to 200 million of allowances

MSR and Backloading

EC proposal for a revision of the ETS directive (July 2015) – follows the conclusions with a few detailed issues still to be discussed

• Main assumptions:

From 2021 onwards the Linear Reduction Factor (LRF) would be established at the 2.2% level, compared to 1.74% currently

• The EP ENVI proposed to increase the LRF to 2.4% but amendment rejected by the European Parliament

The auctioning share at the level of 57% of the total amount of the allowances

2021-2030 derogation period for countries below 60% EU GDP per capita average (at 2013 market prices – Poland within the threshold) allowing to allocate up to 40% of auctioned allowances directly to the energy sector and the national share from the Modernisation Fund (MF). The MF would be composed of the 2% of the total amount of allowances.

• Poland may expect to receive through these compensatory mechanisms (derogation and MF) up to ca. 428 allowances.

• However, due to the strict definition of the incentive effect, additional eligibility criteria (like Emissions Performance Standard in the EP preliminary position) and the governance design – these compensatory mechanisms would not be predominantly addressed to the coal-fired generation units.

Additional allocation of 10% of total EU ETS allowances for countries with GDP per capita below 90% EU average

• Poland will receive ca. 270 million additional allowances as budget proceeds on top of the 700 million received based on historical emissions.

The key decisions in the EP and the Council would be the subject of the compromise, which would be elaborated with the European Commission during the informal trilogue.

EU ETS in 2021-2030 (IV Phase)

Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) 60

Regulates standards of the industrial operations

Creating one law concerning industrial emissions – successor of IPPC Directive and LCP Directive

Aims at minimising pollution from various industrial sources throughout the EU

Need of constant monitoring of NOx, SO2 and dust particles emissions

New limits to be set in BAT conclusions (see next slide)

Idea

Influence

New plants have to meet strict emission limits values (ELVs) for nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and particulates from 2013.

Existing large combustion plants have to fulfil standards from 2016

PGE assured compliance with IED – environmental investments and use of mitigation mechanisms

Transitional National Plan approved by the European Commission

Opt-out derogations (for installations to be decommissioned before 2023 and working not longer than 17,500h)

Derogations for district heating < 200 MWt

Peak load plants working no longer than 1,500h per year

Main mitigation mechanisms (2016-2020)

Adopted under both IPPC Directive and IED

Concern NOx, NH3, CO, HCl, HF, SO2, Hg and dust emissions and other factors like efficiency

BREF LCP (BAT Reference Document for Large Combustion Plants)

BATC (BAT conclusions)

Chapter of BREF LCP containing information on the emission levels associated with the best available techniques

Provides binding emission limits - company have to fulfil them to get permit to carry out operations

Separate limits for existing and new installations (receiving permit after BREF is published)

Installations have to fulfil requirements in 4 year term after the BAT conclusion is published to get integrated permit

BAT Conclusions significantly tighten permissible levels given by the IED

Potential capital expenditures to comply with new standards

BAT-compliance already assured for Turów 11 project (contract annex signed)

Influence

Process

Final draft of the BREF LCP issued in June 2016

Voting on establishing BAT conclusions in April 2017 – met 65% population threshold (with 65.14% in favour)

Expected publication of BREF LCP – H2 2017, to be in force H2 2021

Purple (units fired with methane from hard coal extraction or from biogas)

Red (CHPs over 1 MWe and using any other type of fuel)

Support resumed in 2014 and functional until 2019 (for yellow and red ones, purple operational continuously)

The certificates are given to the utilities that run highly efficient CHPs when co-generating heat and power

Companies selling electricity to final consumer obliged to obtain certificates of origin and to present for redemption to the regulator (detailed percentage obligations below) or make a substitution payment (prices below)

Strategic support for development of district heating market

Report by the Ministry of Energy „Directions for development of innovations in energy” (May 2017) indicates the legitimacy of:

Increasing the share of cogeneration as an environmentally effective way of using fossil fuels

Financial support for expansion of the district heating network

We assume that support for highly efficient cogeneration will be continued in long-term perspective :

The certificate system of support for highly efficient cogeneration will expire by the end of 2018. Declaration by the Ministry of Energy implies that after 2018 support for that technology will be continued

Conceptual works on the auction system are ongoing in the Ministry of Energy, system shall be similar to auction-based RES support scheme, provided by the RES Law

According to the Ministry of Energy, the proposed system shall be disclosed shortly (i.a. statement of RES Department Director in May 2017 – support concepts prepared and currently discussed, introduction and notification before the current scheme is over)

New Industrial Efficiency Act 70

New Act replaces 2011 legislation and enters into force October 1, 2016

Basing on white certificates, granted to entrepreneurs for proven efficiency improvements

Companies selling electricity, heat or gas to final consumer obliged to present White Certificates for redemption to the regulator or make a substitution payment

1 toe (tonne of oil equivalent) saved = 1 white certificate

1 GWh ≈ 86 toe

System essentials

Key changes

Easier to receive white certificates – granted on application, tender process abolished

Obligation may be fulfilled with energy efficiency audits (no need of issuance and redemption of certificates in that case)

Removed restrictions for EU-ETS installations

White certificates also for improvement in energy processing

Ability to receive certificates, if previously not granted, for realized projects (from January 1, 2014)

Higher substitution payments: PLN 1 000/toe (2016), PLN 1 500/toe (2017), and +5% a year afterwards

Limited ability to pay substitution payments (as % of the obligation): 30% (2016), 20% (2017), 10% (2018); unless proven inability to buy certificates priced below substitution payment

Energy audits requirement for big companies (every 4 years)

Obligation

1.5% volume savings in energy sold to final consumers

Either in form of redemption of white certificates or realization of projects resulting in improvement in final consumer’s efficiency (proven by the energy efficiency audit)

Obligation to be fulfilled until June 30 of the next calendar year

• SAIDI, SAIFI and connection time goals

• Separate for each DSO

• To be included in 2018

Regulator’s adjustment ability (RC) – range: 0.9-1.1

• Separately for each DSO

• To offset extreme weather conditions and innovations of DSOs

• 1.00 in 2016

OPEX and Network losses coverage

• Assumed 10% OPEX reduction (in 5-year period), with 2.5% increase justified with the growing business scale

• Network losses coverage model changed – less costs justified as a result

Dividend policy (changed in May 2017) Distribution of profit for 2016

Because of ambitious development program, with a view to limit the increase of debt level, the Management Board recommends to suspend payment of dividend from the profit for years 2016, 2017 and 2018. After that period, the Management Board intends to recommend dividend payment at the level of 40-50% of the consolidated net profit attributable to the equity holders adjusted by the value of impairment loss on property, plant and equipment and intangible fixed assets. Each individual dividend payment will depend, in particular, on the Company’s overall debt, projected CAPEX and acquisitions. The dividend policy will be periodically verified.

The Annual General Meeting of June 27, 2017 decided to allocate the Company's entire net profit for the financial year 2016 in the amount of PLN 1,597,678,012.98 to the Company's supplementary capital.
