| 4 | Substances that may present a hazard | |
| How substances of concern are defined | Substances of concern are defined in the required administrative decisions (water permits, integrated permit), which agree on the concentration limits and the scope of substances to be tested on the basis of current legislation. In some cases, in addition, Substances of Concern were defined in contracts with (water and sewer) suppliers. | |
| Approach adopted regarding the limit on the discharge/discharge of substances of potential concern | Rational management, reduction of consumption, quantitative and qualitative limits in accordance with administrative decisions, values resulting from legislation and applicable standards. | |
| Number of cases of non-compliance with discharge limits/discharges of substances of concern | There were incidental events related to the increase of selected parameters of the discharged wastewater, in particular there were breakdowns of the wastewater treatment plant in the commissioning process after a maintenance shutdown. The violations that occurred were so insignificant that they did not lead to administrative proceedings and the imposition of criminal sanctions. | |
| 5 | Contextual information to understand how the data were collected and calculated, such as standards, methodologies, assumptions made | The aggregated data was compiled on the basis of reports and statements required by law. Total water discharged including the discharge of wastewater into third-party sewers was provided on the basis of the records kept. The state and composition of wastewater – based on results of analyses by accredited entities. |

| 4 | Substances that may present a hazard | not applicable |
| How substances of concern are defined | Substances that may constitute a hazard are defined in water permits in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 20 July 2017 – Water Law (i.e. Journal of Laws of 2021, item 2233, as amended) and the Ordinance of 12 July 2019 on substances particularly harmful to the aquatic environment and conditions to be met when discharging waste water into waters or into the ground, and when discharging rainwater or snowmelt into waters or into water facilities. | |
| Approach adopted regarding the limit on the discharge/discharge of substances of potential concern | The company takes into account the risk of harmful substances entering the environment in its operations. Mainly preventive measures are taken, which consist in: 1. Installation of oil separators in places where there may be at least a risk of oil substances entering the water, 2. Prevention of failures by continuous monitoring of equipment operation by the power plant staff, regular inspections, carrying out repair, operation and modernisation works, 3. Observance of the provisions contained in the equipment operation instructions, 4. Securing the facilities with ecological first-aid kits for elimination of the effects of possible oil spills and installation of oil separators. |

| 1a | Nature of significant direct impacts on biodiversity in relation to one or more of the following: | |
| Construction or use of production facilities, mines and transport infrastructure | ELR: Rybnik Reservoir – surface water used for technological purposes. | |
| Contamination (introduction of substances that do not naturally occur in the habitat) | Discharge of treated industrial wastewater and mine drainage water. | |
| Introduction of invasive species, pests and pathogens | The activity does not lead to the introduction of invasive species, pests or pathogens. | |
| Species extinction | Activities do not lead to species extinction. | |
| Habitat destruction | Activities do not lead to habitat destruction. Removal of trees and shrubs and mowing of grasses takes place outside the bird breeding season. |
|
| Changes in ecological processes outside the natural range of variability (such as salinity or changes in groundwater levels) | Groundwater (groundwater) abstraction is carried out for drinking water and process water recharge. This abstraction is carried out in accordance with hydrogeological documentation, in an amount not exceeding the exploitable resources of the intakes. | |
| 1b | Nature of significant indirect effects on biodiversity in relation to one or more of the following: (please describe) |
|
| Construction or use of production facilities, mines and transport infrastructure | No impact | |
| Contamination (introduction of substances that do not naturally occur in the habitat) | Introduction of gaseous pollutants and CO2 into the air. | |
| Introduction of invasive species, pests and pathogens | The activity does not lead to the indirect introduction of invasive species, pests or pathogens. | |
| Species extinction | Activities do not lead to the indirect extinction of species. | |
| Habitat destruction | Activities do not lead to indirect habitat destruction. | |
| Changes in ecological processes outside the natural range of variability (such as salinity or changes in groundwater levels) | Activities do not lead to changes in ecological processes outside the natural range of variability. | |
| 2a | Significant direct positive and negative impacts in relation to the following: | |
| affected species | The company discharges only treated wastewater that is safe for the aquatic environment and does not adversely affect aquatic species and the aquatic ecosystem. The Company carries out quantitative and qualitative monitoring of discharged wastewater. The quantity of substances released in the treated wastewater is in accordance with the permits held, as well as with the applicable law. ELR: Rybnik Reservoir has a positive impact on fauna and flora. Rybnik Reservoir plays the most important role in winter, when it becomes one of the wintering places for wetland birds in Silesia. The elevated water temperature attracts not only birds associated with the aquatic environment, but also raptors and passerines. Apart from rare species, i.e. white-tailed godwit, grey-headed gull, common species such as blackheaded gull, grey-headed gull, white-headed gull, cormorant, mallard or coot, also appear, and the concentration of one species may reach 5,000 individuals. During the breeding season, on the other hand, side ponds with a narrow strip of riparian vegetation surrounded by pine forests, fields and meadows are attractive for birds. It is then possible to observe grebes, aquatic warblers or bitterns listed in the Polish Red Book of Animals. A total of 74 wetland bird species were found, of which 22 were breeding. |
|
| extent of the area affected | The extent of the impact of water use in terms of deep water abstraction corresponds to the extent of the depression funnel of the intake. Pumping of groundwater does not adversely affect surface waters. ELR: The area of the Rybnik Reservoir together with the surrounding green areas. Around the Rybnik Reservoir there are natural protected areas in the form of the Cistercian Landscape Compositions of the Ore Mountains Landscape Park. |
|
| duration of impact | The duration of impact on groundwater and watercourses into which wastewater is discharged is related to the duration of individual permits, as well as the possibility of exploiting the resource. ELR: Rybnik Reservoir – the duration of the positive impact is assessed to be continuous. |
|
| reversibility or irreversibility of effects | Groundwater and surface water abstraction is carried out in accordance with hydrogeological documentation and permits. Resources are managed rationally to ensure their renewability. Where required, binding protection zones have been established, which specify prohibitions, orders and restrictions on land use and water use. Activities do not cause harm to the aquatic environment and terrestrial ecosystems. Also, the discharge of wastewater into receiving bodies is carried out in accordance with permits and does not cause irreversible effects. | |
| 2b | Significant indirect positive and negative impacts in relation to the following: | No indirect impact. |
| 1a | Nature of significant direct impacts on biodiversity in relation to one or more of the following: | |
| Construction or use of production facilities, mines and transport infrastructure | As part of the planned investments related to the construction of new, low-emission emission sources, a nature inventory was carried out as part of the procedure for obtaining an environmental decision for specific sites within the boundaries of existing CHPs. The planned investments are located away from existing forms of nature conservation. | |
| Contamination (introduction of substances that do not naturally occur in the habitat) | not applicable | |
| Introduction of invasive species, pests and pathogens | not applicable | |
| Species extinction | not applicable | |
| Habitat destruction | Valuable or protected habitats are located at considerable distances so that they are not affected by the impact and comply with environmental legislation. These are typical industrial areas, characterised by low biodiversity. The investments will not be environmentally burdensome, i.e. they will not emit harmful compounds, substances or generate noise to an extent that could adversely affect the natural surroundings. | |
| Changes in ecological processes outside the natural range of variability (such as salinity or changes in groundwater levels) | All investments were preceded by obtaining a decision on environmental conditions. The process of obtaining the decision involves gathering a lot of information about the environment in the location of the planned project. At this stage, field surveys were carried out to inventory potential animal and plant species, as well as the habitats located there. None of the projects required significant interference with the natural environment. | |
| 1b | Nature of significant indirect impacts on biodiversity in relation to one or more of the following: | |
| Construction or use of production facilities, mines and transport infrastructure | The purpose of the nature inventories was to examine whether there might be species (in particular protected species) and their habitats and natural habitats in the area designated for the investment, including those within the range of the impact of the investment. Recognition was also made of ecological corridors of animal migration of local importance remaining within the impact range of the investment. The area of the planned investments is located within the boundaries of the existing thermal power plants, directly adjacent to the existing installations and occupied by unused ruderal land. The herbaceous vegetation overgrowing the area is ruderal, segregated, dryland communities. |
|
| Contamination (introduction of substances that do not naturally occur in the habitat) | The investments will not be environmentally burdensome, i.e. they will not emit harmful compounds, substances or generate noise to an extent that could adversely affect the natural surroundings. The decarbonisation process initiated in PGE EC will contribute to the elimination of coal sources. At the moment, the most important investments concern the replacement of coal sources with gas sources emitting significantly less pollution. On the energy scale, gas is considered the reference fuel. | |
| Introduction of invasive species, pests and pathogens | not applicable | |
| Species extinction | not applicable | |
| Habitat destruction | not applicable | |
| Changes in ecological processes outside the natural range of variability (such as salinity or changes in groundwater levels) | answer in accordance with point 1a in this regard | |
| 2b | Significant direct positive and negative impacts in relation to the following: | The planned development areas are located within the boundaries of the existing CHP plants, directly adjacent to the existing installations and occupied by unused ruderal land. The herbaceous vegetation overgrowing the area is ruderal, segregated, dryland communities. The investment will not cause any environmental nuisance, i.e. it will not emit harmful compounds, substances or generate noise to an extent that could adversely affect the natural surroundings. |

|
| Construction or use of production facilities, mines and transport infrastructure | The hydroelectric power station in Solina with a pumped storage unit is located at the base of the concrete dam. The hydroelectric power station consists of an underwater part and a machinery hall with an auxiliary building. The installations in the hydroelectric power plant consist of equipment used to generate electricity. The power plant is equipped with 4 vertical turbine sets, including 2 turbine sets with classic Francis turbines and 2 turbine sets with reversible Francis turbines. Water is supplied to the turbines from the Solina reservoir through water intakes constituting steel pipelines concreted in the body of the Solina dam. The worked water is discharged through the outlets of these pipelines to the Myczkowce reservoir. The Myczkowce hydropower station consists of a reservoir, an earth dam with a concrete overflow part, a pressure tunnel supplying water to the power station, an impact chamber, the Myczkowce hydroelectric power station and the Myczkowce offshore wind farm. The Myczkowce hydroelectric power station is equipped with two vertical turbine units with Kaplan-type turbines. Water to the turbines is fed from the Myczkowce reservoir via a pressure tunnel, while the rinsed water is discharged into the San River. Offshore wind farm Myczkowce was built in 2006. Water to the power station is supplied from Myczkowce reservoir. The discharge of rinsed water takes place into the river San below the Myczkowce dam. The small hydropower plant operates throughout the year as a run-of-river power plant from the natural flow, thus ensuring the realisation of the biological flow below the Myczkowce dam. The power plant operates in an automatic, unmanned system with a remote control visualisation system. During the operation of the installation at the Solina – Myczkowce hydroelectric power station, no dust or gases are emitted into the environment. For wind farms there is a lack of data with such a high level of detail, in 2022 no assessment procedure was carried out for an investment in an area of high biodiversity, such as a Natura 2000 area, which would additionally be implemented. Indeed, direct or indirect impacts should, within the framework of environmental indicators, be examined in relation to realised projects and not those that have obtained an environmental decision. This is due to the fact that obtaining the EIA is not tantamount to the execution of the given investment, which requires obtaining further permits and decisions (WZ, WTP, PnB). | |

Individual river sections included in the Natura 2000 area are directly adjacent to or part of the East Beskid Mountains Protected Landscape Area and the East Carpathian International Biosphere Reserve. The area borders on the SAC and SPA Góry Słonne and SAC and SPA Bieszczady. There are 3 nature reserves in the area: Nad jeziorem Myczkowieckim, Przełom Sanu pod Mokrem and Przełom Sanu pod Grodziskiem. The technological process, the exploitation of the facilities and the investments carried out in the Unit do not cause interference in the biodiversity of the protected areas. |

ELR: Pursuant to Decree No. 181/93 of the Katowice Voivode of 23 November 1993 (Official Journal of the Katowice Voivodeship No. 15*, item 130), highly urbanised areas were excluded from the Landscape Park „Cystercian Landscape Compositions of the Ore Mountains”, including the Rybnik Power Plant together with the reservoir of water used for technological purposes, the so-called „Rybnik Reservoir”. The area of the Rybnik Power Plant is anthropogenically transformed and constantly influenced by human activity. There is no vegetation except grass. The mammal fauna is poor, being composed of species habitually associated with these areas. The nearest Natura 2000 sites are located at a much greater distance than the analysed fifty times the height of the highest point of gas or dust introduction into the air, i.e. 6.5 km from Elektrownia Rybnik. No protected habitats in the area of Elektrownia Rybnik. Rybnik Reservoir and the surrounding area is a habitat for animals, also covered by species protection, while the site itself is not an area of protected habitats. KWB: reclamation of the external dump of Pole Szczerców and the internal dump of Pole Bełchatów. |

In the area PLB320009 Zalew Szczecinski at least 25 bird species from the Annex I of the Birds Directive occur, 9 species from the Polish Red Book (PCK). It should be emphasized that the species mentioned above occur in the entire area of Natura 2000 PLB320009 Zalew Szczeciński, therefore also in inland waters or in ecosystems suitable for them (e.g. forest, rushes), which does not have to mean their occurrence in the area of PGE EO activity on land – in the area of arable fields. 7. The area of the company’s operations, operation of the facilities and conducted investments do not cause interference in biodiversity of protected areas and areas outside protected areas. The water management carried out in the reservoirs and the operation of the power plant in particular does not pose significant threats to the ichthyofauna.
Waste management
Waste generation and significant waste-related impacts in 2022.
-
306-1
| Significant actual impacts of the organisation related to waste, including: | |
| Inputs, activities and outputs that lead to these impacts | PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna, being fully aware of the obligations resulting from its role as a producer of classic ash, fluidised bed ash and calcium sulphate (gypsum from FGD), carried out the relevant registrations of these substances with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) – pre-registration (2008) and registration proper (2010) in the largest tonnage range, i.e. above 1,000 tonnes/year. Such a tonnage band, i.e. the quantity produced/traded, required the preparation of registration dossiers to the fullest extent. |
| Do these impacts relate to waste generated within the organisation’s own operations or to waste generated upstream or downstream in its value chain? | The primary purpose of the production processes taking place in power plants is to generate electricity and heat, which are traded on the market. The process of producing electricity comes down to the conversion of the chemical energy of the fuel into heat, heat into mechanical energy and then mechanical energy into electricity. The basic process of converting the chemical energy of a fuel into heat takes place in boiler plants, through the process of oxidation. The combustion of fuels results in the release into the atmosphere of substances contained in the fuel, including sulphur dioxide, which adversely affects the environment through further reactions. Accompanying the main process is the flue gas desulphurisation process using wet technology. This technology is the most proven in the world energy industry, used for the flue gas desulphurisation process, classified as BAT. The company carries out many projects and investments to minimise its environmental impact and protect the natural ecosystems in its surroundings. |
| Significant actual impacts of the organisation related to waste, including: | |
|---|---|
| Inputs, activities and outputs that lead to these impacts | The input to the production process is fuels (coal, biomass, municipal waste), while the output is combustion by-products such as ash, slag and gypsum from flue gas cleaning. The majority of the post-process outfall volume is transferred to external customers, either as waste or by-product. Once in a while there are situations when the volume of transferred waste is higher than the current volume, which is due to the transfer of waste to external customers from the previous period’s stock. When waste has no economic use, it is sent to landfills. Taking into account the regulatory context and processes of the transition of energy sources, a gradual reduction in the volume of post-process waste should be expected in the coming years. |
| Do these impacts relate to waste generated within the organisation’s own operations or to waste generated upstream or downstream in its value chain? | As a general rule, the raw materials (fuels) and substances used for the production of electricity and heat are sourced from outside the organisation (the exception is municipal waste, which is already waste to begin with and is recovered at wasteto-energy incinerator). |
| Significant actual impacts of the organisation related to waste, including: | |
|---|---|
| Inputs, activities and outputs that lead to these impacts | In the operation of the facilities, waste classified as hazardous and non-hazardous is generated. The waste generated is handed over to a specialist company with the legally required waste management permits. Transport is outsourced to a specialist company, which collects the waste for disposal. In addition, waste treatment of rivers is carried out at aquatic facilities. |
| Do these impacts relate to waste generated within the organisation’s own operations or to waste generated upstream or downstream in its value chain? | The facilities generate waste during operation, servicing, repair and maintenance work. The amount of waste generated is small and is entirely handed over to authorised collectors. Once generated, segregation and selective storage of generated waste is carried out in a way that prevents its negative impact on the environment and human health. Measures are carried out to reduce the generation of waste „at source”. |
For PGE Dystrybucja – no significant impact on waste generation from ongoing electricity investments.

SELECTED INDICATORS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL AREA AT PGE SA:
The following indicators demonstrate the company’s approach to managing its environmental impact in terms of energy, water and paper consumption at the PGE SA site.
| Annual electricity consumption at PGE SA headquarters | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy for administrative purposes (MWh) | 1 785 | 1 716 | 1 594 |
| Energy for administrative and technical purposes (server rooms) (MWh) | 853 | 914 | 909 |
Energy consumption for administrative purposes has increased slightly compared to the previous year. This can be influenced by the higher number of occupants in the building as well as weather conditions (fewer days of sunshine).
| Annual consumption of thermal energy at PGE SA headquarters | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual thermal energy consumption (in GJ) | 7 453 | 8 460 | 6 980 |
| Annual thermal energy consumption (w GJ/m3) | 0.07 | 0.08 | 0.06 |
Annual heat consumption decreased slightly year on year. A possible influence on the lower heat consumption may be the investment currently being made to replace the windows.
| Annual consumption of sheets of paper at PGE SA headquarters | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper for office printing (counted in A4 format, sheets) | 835 449 | 841 958 | 873 085 |
| Use of paper for office printing (A4 format/person) | 1021 | 1 201 | 1 317 |
Paper consumption per employee of PGE SA is regularly decreasing. Increased employee awareness, as well as the electronic circulation of documents and correspondence, contribute to lower paper consumption.
| Annual water consumption and wastewater discharge at PGE S.A.’s headquarters | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual water consumption and wastewater discharge (m3) | 5 399 | 4 711 | 4 152 |
| Annual water consumption and wastewater discharge (m3/person) | 6.6 | 6.7 | 6.3 |
Water consumption and sewage disposal have increased due to the ongoing renovation work on the building, as well as the higher number of occupants, both employees and visitors.
| Annual toner consumption at PGE S.A.’s headquarters | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual toner consumption (in pcs) | 218 | 130 | 183 |
| Annual toner consumption (in pcs/person) | 0.27 | 0.18 | 0.27 |
The number of toner units purchased is higher due to the centralisation of business areas and an increase in the number of locations for which new printers must be provided with toner.
| Energy-efficient LED lamps at PGE S.A.’s headquarters | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
| LED lamps (in %) | 80 | 71 | 66 |
Due to the pandemic period, renovation work was put on hold, so the luminaries were replaced to a minor extent.
