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 />
