Doubling Capital Spending on Renewables
April 21 (Reuters) - Polish utility Enea expects to at least double its capital spending on renewable energy in 2027, from the 543 million zlotys ($151 million) planned for this year, company executives told a press conference on Tuesday.
Battery Storage Projects as Key Driver
The surge in spending will be driven by the planned commissioning of 866 MW battery storage projects next year, which account for the bulk of Enea's 1,386 MW storage pipeline, management board member Bartosz Krysta said.
Capital Expenditure Breakdown
- For 2026, Enea plans total capital expenditures of 9.08 billion zlotys, up from 6.21 billion zlotys last year
- About 4.17 billion zlotys will be allocated to the generation segment, driven by construction ramp-up at the Kozienice gas-fired power plant
- The plan also includes 819 million zlotys for Enea's coal mining unit in Bogdanka
Bogdanka Coal Mine Operations
Enea aims to stabilise Bogdanka coal output at around 8 million metric tons a year, Krysta said
The mine is "the cheapest and the only profitable one in Poland today", he added
Long-Term Investment Programme
The plan is part of a broader investment programme valued at around 108 billion zlotys through 2035, as Enea advances its energy transition
