The changing situation in the international and domestic markets regarding the availability and prices of energy raw materials requires up-to-date data and analyses for making important business decisions. The Energy Market Agency offers monthly summaries of essential information on the volume and prices of hard coal in the domestic and European markets.

The domestic market data includes information on the prices and sales volumes of thermal coal to power plants, combined heat and power plants, and industrial energy. Additionally, data on coal production and stocks will be presented. The bulletin will also present selected aspects of international trade in thermal coal, including the export and import of Polish coal (broken down by country, volume of deliveries, and their prices in USD/t), as well as the import of thermal coal by EU-27 countries overall (broken down by supplier countries, volumes, and prices in USD/t), with additional data for selected EU countries.

This report is aimed at entities in the thermal coal trade sector active in the domestic and international markets. The data provided is intended to enable market monitoring and facilitate the assessment of the activities of coal trading entities. The proposed scope of the report is outlined below:

1. Domestic thermal coal trade
   1. Hard coal production
   2. Sales volumes
   3. Coal consumption volumes in the energy sector
   4. Hard coal sales prices in Poland
2. International thermal coal trade
   1. Coal imports to selected European countries
   2. Export of Polish coal to European markets
   3. Import of Polish coal by importing countries
3. Coal prices in international markets
   1. CIF ARA price indices
   2. Current freight rates
   3. Coal price trends

PACKAGE 2 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS

The main component of the electricity generation costs in professional energy units is the production fuel – mostly hard coal. 

The trade of energy coal in the country is dominated by bilateral contracts between mining companies and energy groups, making it extremely difficult to establish a transparent market price for the fuel. The aim of this work is to present an accurate picture of the relationships occurring in the domestic and regional energy coal market (demand and supply of energy coal, sales prices of energy coal from hard coal mining, purchase prices of hard coal by power plants and combined heat and power plants depending on fuel parameters and scale of consumption, prices of coal on the international ARA market, freight prices).

Unlike coal reports offered by international analytical agencies, the product of the Energy Market Agency S.A. pays special attention to the situation in the Polish coal market, confronting it with information and data from international markets.

Detailed scope of the report:

1. Demand and supply of energy coal in the domestic market – consumption of energy coal in professional energy in relation to the level of extraction and sales by hard coal mining.
2. State of hard coal stocks in the mining sector.
3. Prices of energy coal in the domestic market – average sales prices of coal from domestic mines, purchase prices of hard coal by professional energy depending on fuel parameters (in the edition for the II half of the year).
4. International trade in energy coal – the situation in the global coal market, production, export, and import of energy coal worldwide (by individual countries and regions), including the EU and the domestic market.
5. Prices of coal on international markets – quotations of benchmark coal prices on the Spot markets, freight rate charges between major ports including: Baltic Dry Index, forecasted coal prices in futures contracts in the Asia-Pacific and Atlantic markets.
