Revenue model

1. Sale of District Heat (Ciepło sieciowe): KOGENERACJA S.A. generates revenue primarily from the production and sale of district heating (ciepło sieciowe) to residential, commercial, public, and industrial customers in Wrocław and Gmina Siechnice. Heat is delivered via the company's own heating network as hot water. Heat prices and tariffs are regulated by the Energy Regulatory Office (Urząd Regulacji Energetyki), with price changes permitted no more than twice per year. In Q1 2026, heat sales revenue reached 509 million PLN, a 16% increase year-over-year driven by a 12% higher sales volume. In 2025, the group sold 10,783 TJ of heat.
2. Sale of Electricity: KOGENERACJA S.A. generates and sells electricity from its cogeneration facilities and gas-fired power plants. Electricity is sold to the national power grid. In Q1 2026, electricity sales revenue was 475 million PLN, up 20% year-over-year, driven by a 36% higher sales volume from the new gas unit launched in May 2025. In 2025, the group sold 2,837 GWh of electricity.
3. Cogeneration Premium (Premia kogeneracyjna): Revenue from the cogeneration premium mechanism — a support scheme for high-efficiency cogeneration producers, awarded through auction processes. The company participates in auctions for cogeneration premiums that supplement market revenue.
4. Connection and Infrastructure Fees: Revenue from connecting new customers to the district heating network, including design and construction of heating connections and thermal substations. KOGENERACJA S.A. is obligated to build and finance the network/connection, while customers finance their thermal substations.
