ESG Report of the
ENEA Capital Group for 2020

Reduction of CO2 emissions

GRI:[ ]

We make every effort to minimize carbon dioxide emissions, acting in this way in line with the pursuit of the European Union’s climate objectives and social expectations.

  • 103-1
  • 103-2
  • 103-3

The implementation of our strategic goal, i.e. the gradual phasing out of conventional generation units and development of zero- and low-emission units, will result in a measurable reduction of CO₂ emissions per unit of energy produced.

Each year, we are increasing energy production from renewable sources: in hydro, wind and biogas power plants, biomass firing and co-firing installations and in the future also in photovoltaic installations.

In addition to developing our own RES capacity, we are involved in endeavors aimed at ensuring the country’s energy transition:

by connecting RES to ENEA Operator’s grid
  • in 2020 the company connected nearly 43 thousand (including micro-installations); as a result, the total number of RES connected by the company was nearly 63 thousand at yearend 2020. The total capacity of the sources installed during this period was over 546 MW, owing to which the total capacity of connected renewable energy sources surpassed 2,043 MW;
by supporting other RES sector entities in fulfilling the reporting duty arising from European law (SOGL guidelines)
  • ENEA Operator’s experts share their knowledge and experience, supporting entities generating electricity from renewable sources in providing data on electricity generated and introduced to the distribution grid.
“

ENEA started the work on creating, together with the TAURON Group and Polska Grupa Energetyczna, a joint venture to develop offshore wind power projects. In January 2021, the partners signed a letter of intent, in which they emphasized their intention to cooperate in building joint competence in the offshore segment.

Current carbon dioxide emission levels

We report on the volumes of direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) related to the activities of our electricity and heat generating companies. By 28 May 2021, i.e. the date of publication of this report, no management decisions have been made on the schedule of implementing full emission reporting in the Group and in its supply chain (Scope 1 + Scope 2 + Scope 3).

What is important, the greenhouse gas emission intensity ratio continues to decline – it is the volume of CO₂ accompanying production by us of a unit of electricity. It is a measurable confirmation of our progress to becoming a low-emission company.
