  • In accordance with our Strategy, we are implementing a programme to reduce controllable costs.
  • We are diversifying the Group’s activities, taking into account the stability of financial results.
  • We maintain on-going contacts with equity and debt capital providers.
  • We search for optimal financing sources at competitive costs.
  • We use preferential forms of credit for environmental investments.
  • We hedge against financial risk (interest rate risk and FX risk).
  • In order to effectively manage liquidity, we have introduced a cash-pooling system.
  • We maintain debt at a level that guarantees our high credit ratings, which ensure low financing costs.

In 2017, thanks to the acquisition of EDF’s assets in Poland, we significant increased the available manufactured capital. In 2019 we completed two highly efficient generating units in Opole power plant. Financing of innovative projects allows us to increase PGE’s intellectual capital. At the same time, a sufficient level of financial capital allows us to effective use natural capital and thus reduce its use
