2.2 Profile of the <strong>HSE</strong> Group<br />
The uniform market appearance of <strong>HSE</strong> Group companies ensures greater<br />
competitiveness in the market, optimum use of production capacities given the existing<br />
market conditions, mitigation of negative financial effects of production shortfalls, a more<br />
comprehensive supply of all types of electricity, fewer risks when entering into long-term<br />
contracts and better chances for penetrating foreign markets.<br />
The group’s activity<br />
<strong>HSE</strong> Group is primarily engaged in energy and environmental management, and control of<br />
related processes and risks. This broad range of activities can be grouped into the following<br />
main categories:<br />
• Production of electricity and heat;<br />
• Lignite extraction;<br />
• Sale and trading with electricity and heat, electricity forward contracts, emission coupons,<br />
RECS certificates and gas;<br />
• Optimisation of <strong>HSE</strong> Group’s production;<br />
• Provision of ancillary services necessary for operation of the electricity system;<br />
• Management and implementation of energy and environmental projects.<br />
Its main activities are electricity production and trading, which is why the <strong>HSE</strong> Group seeks<br />
to take advantage of synergies associated with the wide spectrum of production capacities<br />
in order to maximise its operating efficiency. Because different production units have<br />
different operational and cost characteristics, a more cost-effective electricity supply can<br />
be achieved through appropriate combination of production units. And because market<br />
prices of electricity vary over time, planning and optimisation of production units, while<br />
observing technical criteria and conditions in electricity markets, are all the more important.<br />
