Silesia Coal is generally expensive and, despite plans to reduce costs, the input of the energy sector in the mining industry is an increase in energy prices – experts. Such involvement provides energy adopted by the Government KW repair program.
The program provides, inter alia, liquidation of unprofitable mines 4th most KW and the creation of a special purpose company with nine others. It envisages the possibility of taking a stake in front of the power sector entities.
The consolidation of mining-energy program announced after the adoption of the Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz. She said, however, that the details of mining assets acquisition by energy companies under state control will present the Exchequer.
Government Plenipotentiary. Wojciech Kowalczyk mining restructuring argued that energy companies are interested in such a solution, because every company Energy wants to have access to the fuel.
probably end up involvement in mining PGE, Tauron because it has its own mines, Enea buys coal in Bogdanka, and Energa has only one small coal-fired and coal does not need much – Maciej Bukowski rating of think-tank WISE.
He added that the involvement of PGE is “almost certainly” rise in energy prices, because the company has to come from somewhere to take the money to buy mining assets, and the amount of the order of several billion zł is too much even for such a large company, which in addition must carry their own investments.
I think that the government resign from dividends from PGE, which has more than 60 percent. – He added. For 2013. PGE 2 billion zł paid dividends, the government accounted for 1.2 billion.
Also expert. energy policy prof. Krzysztof Zmijewski believes that the result will be an increase in energy prices. Coal is expensive, because mine operating costs are higher than their income, but increase revenue by forcing neighboring sector to buy the coal and bought him expensive means that the energy will be more expensive – Zmijewski said.
– Unless it turns out that energy prices are still inflated and can be something + squeeze + for mining.
It seems to me, however, that in comparison to European energy prices in Poland are not overstated. Our energy does not include the so-called. undeserved profits, which means that the price of energy will increase, which will be felt and households and industry, which will become less competitive – rated prof. Zmijewski.
– So this disease, which we will move in the mining industry. The question is whether this is the solution, because normally outbreak try to isolate, and here we move it all over the country – he added. Zmijewski reminded that 15 years ago, during the reform Jerzy Buzek and Janusz Steinhoff, solutions such as consolidation of mining to energy is not used, although That reform was incomparably deeper.
The government program provides for the reduction of operating costs of the new TA. Bukowski pointed out, however, that production costs will, however, have generally increasing trend, because depend on the development of the economy. With the development of generally rising wages and investment goods become more expensive – he stressed.
On the other hand, Zmijewski said that the government plans are not included unless such factor as technological advances self-giving possibilities to produce energy.
If the power zdrożeje, selling her less and will not subsidize the mines which, because people will be profitable to produce himself – he explained. In his opinion prosumenckiego traffic stop can not be, because it is of a technological revolution as mobile telephony and the Internet. A new law on renewable energy, which is in the Parliament gives more opportunities for business prosumer – recalled.
Expert. Energy and climate KIG, b. The Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Herbert Gabryś when asked the consequences of the energy sector inputs to the mining industry points out that there are no known details of the plan, or plans for the next consolidation of power.
– But the two can not be treated separately. Thus, some tell fortunes from coffee grounds – he added.
– If the power would come into mining restructuring of capital and organizational commitment in obtaining resources as future needs, with a chance for the opportunity to influence the price of coal predictable, it is can defend itself.
Gawryś adds, however, that if this plan are the political objectives that are designed to maintain “beings costly and unreconstructed, it sounds scary.”
– If there is also a hidden hope that energy urentownieniem cope with the mining industry, including the liquidation of unprofitable mines, this can also hope to see – he says.
As he explains, the Polish energy sector because of the resources and conditions for many years, “a significant portion” will be based on solid fuels. – Brown coal resources are more than two hundred years. Can and should be developed. Coal resources are smaller because for some decades, but they are. Between 30 and 50 – the twenty-first century. One and a second coal, within the meaning of energy security will be needed in Poland – says PAP Gabryś.
When asked about whether involvement in the restructuring of the energy sector will not affect the mining industry price of energy, Gabryś recalls that the Polish government, which does not vetoed – because he could not veto – the climate package, at the same time he assumed “the responsibility of creating such an energy performance that is not moved significantly to the price of electricity to end users – must also refer to coal prices. ”

According to the adopted on Wednesday by the Government KW recovery plan for the possibility of funding the company ran out and without restructuring it will fall within a month. Among the solutions identified four mines KW liquidation, transfer of 6 thousand. people to other plants and cover for 5.2 thousand. redundant – at the expense of approx. 2.3 billion zł.

Karpinski Minister explained that now dot the government program . energy policy, valid until 2030, is under inter-ministerial consultations. Said that a decision on whether. The shape of the program will take the minister of the economy.
Asked whether fears that large investments currently in the energy sector, such as. Opole Power Plant expansion, will negatively financial condition of the sector, Karpinski said that the interests of the Polish economy is – to ensure the security of energy supply first, second – optimal price that will allow you to maintain this dynamic growth.
