ANALYSIS OF THE PROFITABILITY OF TARIFF GROUPS AT HIGH, MEDIUM, AND LOW VOLTAGE IN ENERGY TRADING COMPANIES AND IN COMPANIES ENGAGED IN ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION
ANNUAL REPORT
The analysis of the profitability of tariff groups concerning the trading and distribution of electricity will be conducted for comprehensive contracts and separated contracts. The report will also provide the structure of electricity sales by tariff groups.
The profitability analysis in trading and distribution will cover trading companies (POSD) and OSD that are part of consolidated energy groups (PGE Polish Energy Group S.A., TAURON Polish Energy S.A., ENEA S.A., ENERGA S.A., and Stoen Operator Sp. z o.o.). Additionally, the work will analyze other trading companies (PO) engaged in electricity trading.
To capture any potential changes, data on the profitability of tariff groups and sales structure will be provided for the years 2024-2025.
We will also present the profitability of the new anti-smog tariff; however, this will be conditioned by the quality of data provided by the enterprises.
The report will provide additional information for assessing the results obtained from electricity sales and distribution services. The results of the report may also be useful in tariff calculations.

BENCHMARK FOR THE EFFICIENCY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC FARMS IN POLAND
ANNUAL REPORT
Photovoltaic energy is developing in Poland at a very dynamic pace. In the last two years, several photovoltaic power plants with an installed capacity greater than 10MW have been commissioned, allowing for the preparation of a report containing their aggregate technical, economic, and financial parameters.
The Energy Market Agency S.A. has prepared an analysis regarding the operation of photovoltaic farms in Poland, based on available data on the productivity, profitability, and debt levels of these installations. In our opinion, such an analysis should facilitate the making of preliminary investment decisions for new photovoltaic farm projects. The report will present aggregate data for the entire PV sector (with a capacity greater than or equal to 10MW), as well as averaged data converted to the production unit MWh, in order to present benchmarks for the operation of PV farms in Poland.
To capture any potential changes in the market, technical and economic data will be presented for the years 2024-2025.
The scope of the analysis primarily includes:
- Comparison of monthly efficiency of PV farms in Poland.
Additionally, there is a possibility to compare the efficiency of PV farms owned by a given enterprise against the rest of the photovoltaic subsector. - Compilation of costs and profitability of production activities for photovoltaic technology.
- Presentation of benchmark values (max and min) for individual economic parameters of the analyzed group of PV farms.

BENCHMARKING THE EFFICIENCY OF WIND FARMS IN POLAND
ANNUAL REPORT
Wind energy is currently the dominant technology for renewable electricity production in Poland. Considering the number of factors influencing the efficiency of a wind farm, the selection of optimal wind turbines or suitable locations presents a significant challenge for investors.
In response to market demand, the Energy Market Agency S.A. has prepared a comprehensive analysis offering regarding the operation of wind farms in Poland. Based on the compiled information, it will be possible to conduct preliminary investment analyses for new wind farm projects and compare the efficiency of existing facilities with wind farms operating under similar conditions.
To capture potential changes, technical and economic data will be presented for the years 2024-2025.
The detailed scope of the analysis includes:
Comparison of monthly efficiency of wind farms in different regions of Poland.
To ensure comparability of the operational parameters of wind farms, their efficiency will be analyzed considering the specific conditions related to their location. Aggregations will be based on the windiness map of Poland developed by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, respecting the provisions of the Public Statistics Act.
Additionally, there is an opportunity to compare the efficiency of wind farms owned by a specific company with other units operating under similar conditions.Analysis of costs and profitability of electricity generation in wind power plants.
Aggregated data on the financial results of the wind farm sector, also broken down by windiness zones.

PROSPECTS FOR POLISH ENERGY - What were the development directions in 2025-2026 and what will the next years bring to the industry?
The primary objective of the report is to identify changes occurring in the country's energy policy and their impact on the functioning of the energy market. Political decisions made to ensure energy security, as well as to maintain independence through the use of domestic energy resources, significantly affect production levels and the profitability of investment processes in various technologies. The authors will present the government's current intentions regarding the electricity sector and compare our policy with the energy policy vision created by the European Union.
Special attention will be paid to identifying differences in the approach to conventional energy and renewable energy sources. The report will also address the impact of Russian aggression in Ukraine on the energy sector.
The report will cover:
- An analysis of government actions regarding the energy sector,
- Sector plans regarding acquisitions and investments,
- Polish energy in the face of reorganization (the share of coal, oil, and gas in shaping the energy mix, priorities, and schedules),
- Modern energy according to European standards and the development directions promoted by the Polish government,
- Investments in innovative technologies in energy.
- An attempt to answer the question of whether the Polish energy sector is credible for investors and guarantees a "fair" return.
Considering the pace of changes observed recently in the energy market and the energy raw materials market, it becomes essential to have current information about the introduced changes and the energy policy being conducted, which will define the target model of the energy market and the forecasted energy mix for the coming years. Conclusions drawn from the analysis will help determine the directions in which Polish energy will head in the coming years.

The report will include the following types of data:
- Number of recipients (in terms of the number of connections);
- Active energy quantity - GWh;
- Active energy value – thousands PLN;
- Other trading fees – thousands PLN:
- Discounts (in trading) – thousands PLN;
- Total revenue from electricity sales– thousands PLN.
- Average total price (electricity and distribution service) – PLN/MWh;
- Average selling price of electricity - PLN/MWh;
- Average selling price of electricity (excluding excise tax) - PLN/MWh;
With limitations regarding the types of contracts (comprehensive contracts and separated contracts).
The summaries for the groups will concern four values: average, median, minimum, and maximum or two values: sum and average (depending on the nature of the variable and the size of the group).
The report will be prepared with the mandatory requirement to maintain statistical confidentiality.
