Summary

The leitmotif of the passing year has been the (additional) natural gas supplies deal with Russia's Gazprom. Initially agreed last October, it took over a year to be actually worked out and signed (with significant changes being made throughout this period). Paradoxically, after agreeing on the document, Poland's main gas producer and distributor PGNiG and Gazprom have been proclaimed as possible business partners for future joint projects. Another two key themes of the passing months have been (accelerated) privatisation of the electrical power segment's companies (with progress in the case of five power groups) and price tariff negotiations with the market regulator, both in the natural gas (ultimately, prices are to fall by 3-4%) and the electrical power (prices are to rise by low single digits) segments.

Sold production (seasonally unadjusted) of the sector of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply inched up by 0.1% to PLN 71.88bn (EUR 17.8bn) in Jan-Oct, 2010, according to the data of the Central Statistical Office (GUS). In October alone, the sector's output inched up by 0.3% m/m, but was down by 3.1% in annual terms. In the first ten months of this year, sold production of the sector of water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities rose by 5.7%, while in October, 2010, it was up by 3.8% m/m and by 2.9% on the year.

Prices of this sector's output grew by 2.9% y/y in Jan-Oct. 2010, vs. the surge of 15.9% in the whole of 2009.

Organically, the sector's companies are progressing with their bigscale investment plans. According to Deloitte, Poland's power enterprises should invest around EUR 50bn by 2020 to build nearly 30,000 MW of new power generation capacities. Ernst & Young estimates that Poland still needs to set up around 25 GW of new power generation capacities so as to match the European average level.
