G4-DMA. How the organization manages the "Water" Aspect.

Main raw materials that are used in our daily activities include: biomass, coal, fuel oil and light fuel oil. Basic fuel used to generate electricity in Enea is hard coal. 74% of coal supplies came from LW Bogdanka in 2016. In turn, the main fuel used by Enea Wytwarzanie - Heat Segment (Bialystok Thermal Power Plant) is biomass, in the form of forest chips, energy willow chips and sunflower husk pellets.

*Significant decrease of water consumption is due to reduced heat generation. 9352 m3 heat was generated in 2015 and only 116 m3 in 2016.
**In some locations there is no metering and the cost of electricity is included in the rent.
***Only a part of electricity consumption is included in the table. The remaining amount is included in the rent.
**** All office spaces used by Enea Trading are rented by the company (from Enea SA. Enea Wytwarzanie Sp. z o. o. and Enea Serwis Sp. z o. o). Therefore. all operating costs are included as fixed fees in the amount of a monthly rent. As a result. it is difficult to define exactly how much water or electricity is used by the company.

 

What have we done to reduce water consumption?

  1. With the activities related to the current operation and modernization of transmission networks in the Heat and Power Plant in Bialystok, the loss of heat carrier decreased from 172 thousand m3 in 2013 to 60.3 thousand m3 in 2016 i.e. by around 35%.
  2. We launched the installation of water recycling from the cooling of technological drives to the holding tanks of raw water in Białystok.

*No hazardous waste is identified as a result of transferring IT services to Enea Centrum. Since 2016, Enea Centrum is a waste generator associated with this activity and not Enea SA, therefore Enea SA doesn’t generate this waste.

**Significant difference in the amount of hazardous waste in Enea Operator in 2016 and 2015 is due to the modernization of lines and power substations in 2015. Modernization concerned replacement of wooden poles, oil and transformers and power cables.

***The above values include waste collected by Enea Logistyka Sp. z o.o. from other Enea companies which result from provisions of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act. The above figures do not include municipal waste. Hazardous wastes were handed over to ABBA Ekomed company Sp. z o.o., while non-hazardous waste are subject to recycling.

****Waste included in rent.
*****We reported a wrong value of non-hazardous waste produced in MPEC Białystok in the report for 2015, the correct value is 7910.69 Mg.

21 leaky transformer foundations 110/MV were modernized by Enea Operator in 2016 to prevent possible soil contamination with petroleum derivatives. Other leaky transformers are to be modernized and are already included in investment plans for future years.

Enea Logistyka introduced a new waste management procedure.
