POLISH ELECTRICITY MARKET
Recession-proof
This year Poland is bound to be the only European country to
experience GDP growth - say experts from “The Economist”. The
country is ranked 6th among economies in the world.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Poland may
expect economic growth at around 0.7% and is bound to decidedly
outshine other European countries in this respect. Positive GDP in
2009 will become a thing not numerous countries will be able to
boast about. EIU’s experts expect China to have the highest GDP
growth i.e. 6%. India comes second in the ranking with the
expected 5% GDP rise and Egypt closes the list of top courtiers
with prospects of a 3.9% GDP growth.
Manpower Polska
Polish employers show measured optimism in context of employ-
ing new workers. 18% of them plan to increase number of em-
ployees in the period August - October 2009... In some sectors, for
example construction and engineering they predict an increase of
20%. On the other hand in Power generation reduction of 15% is
foreseen. This might suggest trend to build some new, more
efficient plants and investing in more effective solutions.

1. INTRODUCTION
At present, a number of Polish government entities are involved with the electric
power industry. The main government agency in Poland that deals with the electric
generation industry is the Ministry of Economy, and the Energy Regulatory Office
(Urzad Regulacji Energetyki) regulates the power sector.
The following three subsystems are distinguished in the Polish Power System (PPS),
due to the nature of the technical functions:
1. generation of electricity (at power plants, heat and power plants and
distributed generation);
2. transmission of electricity through the extra-high voltage power
network nation-wide and via cross-border lines through the Polish
borders (the task executed by the transmission system operator);
3. distribution of electricity through the high, medium and low voltage
distribution networks (the tasks executed by the distribution system
operators).
The total installed capacity in the Polish power stations amounted to ca. 35. 850 GW.
The annual production of electricity amounts to a total of 160 000 GW.
As of 9 Jan 2009, there are also 55 cogeneration plants and among the biggest are
Warszawa, Łódź and Tychy. For the detail read on.

Wind

As of 1 Jan 2008, there were 142 system wind generators installed in Poland and the
total capacity was 280MW. The sector is growing rapidly with many companies
involved and it is expected to reach the level of 2, 000 MW by 2010.

Locations of the hydro power stations in Poland.
As of the year 2009, the Polish power grid consists of about 200 kilometres of 750
kilovolt (kV) lines, about 4,700 kilometres of 400 kV lines, and about 7,900
kilometres of 220 kV lines, and is interconnected using more than 80 large
substations. The Polish State Treasury is the sole shareholder of the company.
In 2007, PSE-Operator S.A. became the owner of the transmission network assets
required to execute the tasks and responsibilities of the transmission system operator.
PSE-Operator S.A. spent in 2007 a total of PLN 155.2 million for maintenance,
repairs and operation of the network facilities. PSE-Operator S.A. was supported by
five regional maintenance companies in the execution and supervision of the
maintenance and repair works.
The operator of the power transmission system, according to the definition presented
in the Energy Law Act, is an enterprise involved in the transmission of electricity,
responsible for the network operations in the transmission system, current and long-
1
term security of the operation of this system, maintenance, overhauls and required
development of the transmission network system, including the connections with
other power systems.
Seeing the current investment in design and construction of new solutions in energy
sector, we are noticing some leaders in the group of energy generation and
transmission technology engineering. The most actively present in the Polish market
are Mostostal Zabrze – Holding, Elektromontaż Północ, Rafako, Elektrim, Install
Kraków, Polimex Cekop, Energoservice and Energoprojekt Katowice.
There is also a group of foreign players, some already based in Poland, some just
working on local contracts. It is quite a big batch with many well known names
among them – Siemens, ABB, EDF, Alstrom, E.ON, RWE, EDF, Iberdola,
Electrabel, ELTEL, Fortum Heat and Lavalin.
1
At present they are involved in many projects and it seems to be good prospects for
still many new investments in the next several years. In Poland, the global financial
crisis does not make much of a difference in the long term perspective.

Information and details about each entity above named and others active in the
power generation in Poland could be relieved as per your bespoke request.

Energoservice SA.
Speciality
One of core activities of Westinghouse Modelpol is offering services referring
to selected components of power generation equipment - based on
Westinghouse technology.

this is a very precise non destructive method of detecting short circuits
within active iron of generator stators.
• RBE (Rotor Bore Examination)
this is an extensive examination of turbine shaft forging to determine
remaining life expressed in a number of start up cycles.
• RRI (Retaining Ring Inspection)

this is a modern testing tool to determine actual retaining ring
condition without necessity to remove it from the rotor.
Westinghouse Modelpol Ltd. forms a capital group with Energoserwis S.A.

2.4. ENERGY DISTRIBUTION
The Polish Energy Regulatory Office licensed the following network owners to act as
OSD Distribution Operators for the set period:
The OSD is involved in the transmission of electricity, responsible for the network
operations in the transmission system, maintenance and required development of their
network system.
Most of the above named companies either realise or are about to start new projects of
new transmission lines in all regions of Poland.

The foreign capital coming into the Polish economy has fulfilled a very important role
in the process of privatisation and restructuring. The majority of foreign investment
has taken the form of direct investment. Such investments have meant new companies
starting from scratch or enterprises already existing in the Polish market being taken
over. In energy sector, the process created many dynamic entities well equipped to
survive the Polish market. Quite often after registering, company just added the word
Polska or SP to his original name and was becoming a local player without loosing his
identity and brand. Some of those companies are listed below in more detail.
