[5] Used for production of heat in “Zachód” Heat Plant; unit: thousand Nm3
Water consumption
Water is necessary to produce electricity, we use water, among others, in power plant cooling systems. We apply a number of technological solutions which allow us to return water to river, preserving its quantity and quality.
| Total water uptake in the ENEA Group [m3][6] | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Total water consumption by ENEA Group companies: | 2 912 857 179 | 2 851 674 557 |
| including water uptake from water intake / municipal water supply system | 241 504 | 231 654 |
| including surface water uptake[7] | 2 896 571 028 | 2 834 572 229 |
| of which: deep water uptake | 841 364 | 867 398 |
| of which: drainage water uptake | 12 565 217 | 12 872 658 |
| of which: water uptake from another source | 2 638 066 | 3 130 618 |
[6] The total water consumption figure does not include data for some administrative/office buildings used by the companies which make lump-sum payments for water and for which there is no detailed data on water consumption. ENEA Trading, which does not report on water consumption and ENEA Połaniec Serwis, which does not collect environmental data, are not included.
[7] For generation purposes, the Kozienice Power Plant uses water from the Vistula river. The reversible uptake of water for cooling purposes constitutes over 99% of the power plant’s total water uptake.
Generated waste
| Total mass of waste generated in the ENEA Group [Mg][8] | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Total mass of waste generated in the ENEA Group: | 8 318 353 | 7 486 683 |
| of which: hazardous waste | 824 | 5 464[9] |
| of which: non-hazardous waste | 8 317 529 | 7 481 219 |
[8] Does not include administrative buildings where utilities are included in the lump-sum rent. Additionally, ENEA Trading and RG "Bogdanka" do not report data on waste, while ENEA Połaniec Serwis does not collect environmental data.
[9] This includes waste collected by ENEA Logistyka from other ENEA Group entities and those resulting from the provisions of the Act on worn-out electric and electronic equipment.
We make effort not only to minimize the amount of waste but also to utilize it:
- the power plant in Połaniec sells gypsum from flue gas desulfurization as well as ash and gravel which are by-products of combustion,
- Lubelski Węgiel “Bogdanka” uses mining waste for land reinstatement, road and square hardening and for the production of cement, and also provides authorized units with, among others, wood and used oils, for management.
In 2019, ENEA Centrum, acting to the benefit of ENEA S.A., implemented measures to reduce consumption of paper, such as electronic signing of contracts, enabling transmission of documents through a chat and the Electronic Customer Service Office (eBOK) (i.e. it is no longer necessary to print them out and send by traditional mail), combining documents (invoices, corrections, interest notes are sent in a single envelope to a contractor with the same correspondence address on several contracts) or e-invoice promotion campaign.
