Investments

ENEA Capital Group planned investments for 2014-2020, which are associated with financial expenditures of PLN 20 billion. It will be proportionally spent on:

  • development of the generation and distribution  segments in the basic value - in the amount of PLN 11.8 billion,
  • development of RES, cogeneration and heating networks - in the amount of PLN 7.7 billion.

Investments in the distribution segment

ENEA Operator performed 96.5% of the planned budget for investment in 2013. It amounted to PLN 894 888.2 and enabled the accomplishment of investments in three areas:

  • network investment
  • business supporting infrastructure
  • ICT

Investments in generation segment

A majority of investments accomplished in 2013 was dedicated to the development and modernization of Power Plant in Kozienice in the following areas:

  • construction of power unit No. 11 (construction completion date is scheduled for 2017),
  • modernization of power unit No.8,
  • construction of flue gas desulphurization system IOS IV,
  • construction of flue gas desulphurization system building – SCR for power blocks No. 4–8.

Modernization of a power unit No. 9 in ENEA Wytwarzanie in Kozienice is completed.

Investments of RES segment

Time horizon for wind projects acquisition was determined until year 2020. Key investment plans for RES segment are as follows:

  • increase of wind energy by purchasing wind farms, construction of Baczyna wind farm of 15 MW (2008-2016)
  • construction of Bardy II wind farm with a capacity of 9-10 MW (2013-2016) - a continuation of the Windfarm Polska investment project
  • construction of Gorzesław biogas plant with a capacity of  1.6 MW (2009-2014) - a continuation of Dobitt Energia investment project. Final completion of the investment has been commenced on the 29 September 2014.

Construction of the biogas plant Gorzesław with a capacity of 1.6 MW (2009-2014) was a significant investment being accomplished in 2013.

Planned investments in the generation segment

Planned investments

Heat and cogeneration

Investments were also accomplished in the Heat and Cogeneration segment.

The following investments were implemented in Elektrociepłownia Białystok:

  • systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by SNCR technology for biomass boilers K5 and K6 - this will reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides to the atmosphere. The installation can reduce NOx emissions from boilers to below 180 mg / m3.
  • "Installation for heat recovery from the exhaust of biomass boiler K6" implemented by the company in 2013-2014. Heat recovery system will produce about 175 000 GJ/year. CO2 emissions will fall by about 20 000 tonnes/year.
  • Installation of DeNOx on coal boilers K7 and K8 planned for 2014-2015 in Elektrociepłownia Białystok, i.e. installation to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions -thanks to which the emission of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere shall be reduced significantly. These installations will reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from these boilers to less than 95 mg/m3. 

Investments in MEC Piła:

  • implementation of "Development of the heating system in Piła through the development of cogeneration units in regional boiler house KR-Koszyce in Piła " project – it allowed for elimination of low-emission from conventional boilers fuelled with solid fuel in the summer.

Investments in PEC Oborniki:

  • modernization of the coal boiler – it will reduce heat prices for consumers and reduce greenhouse gases and dust emission into the atmosphere, the construction of high efficiency cogeneration system based on gas engines allowing  a change of a thermal power plant into the combined heat and power plant - this will allow to turn down the boiler room in the summer and save approx. 1663 tons of coal per year, and at the same CO2 reduction of about 2175 tons/year.
