Presented below are the key assumptions used in impairment tests:
−
assets
were
tested
in
six
CGUs
(i.e.
CGU
Elektrownie
Systemowe
Kozienice,
CGU
Elektrownie
Systemowe
Połaniec, CGU Zielony Blok and CGU Białystok, CGU Oborniki and CGU Piła),
−
the
main
price
paths,
based
on
forecasts
prepared
by
ENEA
Trading
Sp.
z
o.o.
(a
company
operating
as
ENEA
Group's
competence
centre
for
wholesale
trade
of
electricity,
emission
allowances
and
fuels),
taking
into
account
the specific nature of products and knowledge about existing contracts:
−
wholesale
"base"
prices
for
electricity:
for
2023-2047:
prices
are
expected
to
decline
from
821.25
PLN/MWh
in
2023
to
592.19
PLN/MWh
in
2031,
followed
by
a
gradual
decline
at
an
average
of
0.5%
in
the
period
2032-
2047 [fixed prices 2022],
−
CO
2
emission
allowances:
the
forecast
expects
an
increase
in
the
prices
of
CO
2
allowances
by
an
average
of
4.6%,
from
72.5
EUR/t
in
2022
to
2027.
Between
2028
and
2036,
prices
are
expected
to
grow
further,
by
approx. 1.5%. From 2037, further growth at approx. 1% [fixed prices 2022],
−
coal:
the
prices
of
coal
are
expected
to
decline
by
an
average
of
9.2%,
from
41.88
PLN/GJ
in
2023
to
2031.
A
gradual decline of 0.3% is expected from 2032 [fixed prices 2022],
−
biomass:
decline
in
the
average
price
of
biomass
is
expected
at
the
Group,
from
95
PLN/GJ
in
2023
to
45.55
PLN/GJ in 2031. A 0.7% increase is forecast from 2032 to 2045, followed by 0.7% [fixed prices 2022],
−
heat
prices:
three
CGUs
(Białystok,
Piła
and
Oborniki)
expect
an
average
price
growth
to
reach
approx.
12%
by
2025,
from
the
average
price
level
of
111.61
PLN/GJ
in
2023
In
subsequent
years,
prices
are
expected
to
fall
by
an
average
of
2.3%
until
2031.
From
2032
there
is
an
average
price
increase
of
1.6%
[fixed
prices
2022],
−
natural
gas:
prices
are
expected
to
sharply
decline
from
2023,
from
870
PLN/MWh,
by
approx.
27%
to
2027,
followed
by
further
annual
average
decrease
by
2.7%
until
2040.
The
price
is
expected
to
stabilise
from
2041
forward, at 174.39 PLN/MWh until 2045 [fixed prices 2022],
−
quantity
of
CO
2
emission
allowances
received
for
free
for
2021-2025
in
accordance
with
a
derogation
application
(pursuant to art. 10c sec. 5 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council),
−
revenue
related
to
maintaining
generation
capacities
from
2021
pursuant
to
the
Act
on
the
Capacity
Market,
based on previously won auctions,
−
inflation, taking into account the inflation target, at a maximum level of 2.5%,
−
nominal
discount
rate
-
9.83%
[discount
rate
before
tax
is
11.20%].
The
Company
applied
a
company-specific
risk premium for the following CGUs:
1.
CGU
Zielony
Blok
-
0.5%.
Discount
rate
taking
into
account
company-specific
risk
premium
was
10.03% [discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium before tax is 11.40%],
2.
CGU
Elektrownie
Systemowe
Kozienice
and
Elektrownie
Systemowe
Połaniec
-
2%.
Discount
rate
taking
into
account
company-specific
risk
premium
was
10.63%
[discount
rate
taking
into
account
company-specific risk premium before tax is 12.00%],
3.
CGUs
Białystok,
Piła
and
Oborniki
-
1%.
Discount
rate
taking
into
account
company-specific
risk
premium
was
10.23%
[discount
rate
taking
into
account
company-specific
risk
premium
before
tax
is
11.60%],
−
growth rate in residual period - 0%.
The
sensitivity
analysis
shows
that
significant
factors
having
impact
on
the
estimated
recoverable
values
of
CGUs
include:
discount
rates,
inflation,
electricity
prices
and
CO
2
emission
allowance
prices,
and
hard
coal
prices.
Future
financial
results
and
thus
the
recoverable
amounts
of
CGUs
will
also
be
driven
by
the
prices
of
energy
origin
certificates,
heat
and
biomass
prices.
Below
is
a
summary
of
the
valuable
impact
of
changes
in
selected
factors
on
the
total
recoverable
value
(initial
value)
of
shares
of
