2020 was an extremely important period for the operations and future of the PGE Group:
In addition, it should be remembered that since March 2020 we have been working in difficult conditions, struggling together with the coronavirus pandemic and at the same time – as the largest energy producer in Poland – ensuring uninterrupted electricity supplies to Polish homes, institutions and enterprises. The efficient organization of work in our companies allowed for uninterrupted functioning in a demanding sanitary regime, and as a Group, we also contributed our donation to supporting the fight against coronavirus – by donating funds to hospitals. We cannot forget about our employees, who at that time became involved in helping with the call centre of the National Health Fund.
Looking at PGE’s financial results – we have reduced our debt by over PLN 2 billion during the year. The Management Board reduced unnecessary expenses and focused on investments with the highest rate of return. Projects that did not guarantee adequate profits in the future were closed. The Group’s management efforts and financial stability have been noticed by rating agencies. PGE maintained the highest credit ratings among fuel and energy groups in Poland.
