Power Purchase Agreements
Pogodbe o nakupu energije
In the mid-90s the Polish government decided to launch a programme designed to modernise the Polish electricity sector and bring it into line with the technical and environmental standards of Western Europe.
Sredi devetdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja se je poljska vlada odločila, da uvede program, namenjen posodobitvi in uskladitvi poljskega sektorja električne energije s tehničnimi in okoljskimi standardi Zahodne Evrope.
In order to implement this programme, Poland launched a tender procedure with a view to selecting projects for new or modernised electricity generation plants.
Da bi Poljska ta program uresničila, je sprožila razpisni postopek za izbor projektov za nove ali posodobljene elektrarne.
These projects would be awarded long-term PPAs for their generation capacity.
Tem projektom naj bi se dodelile dolgoročne pogodbe PNE za njihovo proizvodno zmogljivost.
The decision to launch the tendering procedure was taken by the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Odločitev o sprožitvi razpisnega postopka je sprejelo Ministrstvo za trgovino in industrijo.
The procedure was organised under the aegis of the Ministry by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. (PSE), the publicly owned Polish electricity network operator.
Postopek je pod pokroviteljstvom ministrstva organiziral upravljavec poljskega energetskega omrežja v državni lasti, Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S. A. („PSE“).
Various criteria were used to evaluate the bids, including: the project's efficiency, the volume of capital expenditure, pro-environmental action and the use of proven technologies and stable and secure sources of fuel.
Pri ocenjevanju ponudb je bilo uporabljenih več pravil, vključno z učinkovitostjo projekta, obsegom naložb v osnovna sredstva, ukrepi v korist okolju in uporabo preverjenih tehnologij ter stabilnih in zanesljivih virov goriva.
The least attractive bids were eliminated.
Najmanj zanimive ponudbe so bile izločene.
Direct negotiations were undertaken with the remaining bidders.
S preostalimi ponudniki so se začela neposredna pogajanja.
These negotiations led to the conclusion of PPAs with several companies or groups of companies.
Na podlagi teh pogajanj so bile sklenjene pogodbe PNE z več družbami ali skupinami družb.
The PPAs were signed between 1996 and 1998, with the exception of one of seven PPAs with Południowy Koncern Energetyczny S.A. group (PKE), which was signed on 12 April 1995, and the PPA with Elektrownia Turów, which was signed on 26 August 1994.. The PPA with Elektrownia Turów was not covered by the decision to initiate the procedure and is therefore not covered by this Decision.
Pogodbe PNE so bile podpisane med letoma 1996 in 1998, razen ene od sedmih pogodb PNE s skupino Południowy Koncern Energetyczny S. A. („PKE“), ki je bila podpisana 12. aprila 1995 in pogodbe PNE z družbo Elektrownia Turów, ki je bila podpisana 26. avgusta 1994. Pogodba PNE z družbo Elektrownia Turów ni bila zajeta v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka in zato ni vključena v to odločbo.
The following table lists the companies concerned.
V naslednji preglednici je seznam zadevnih družb.

The duration of PPAs ranges from 7 to 20 years, calculated from the date on which the power plant starts operating; most of them have been concluded for a period of more than 15 years.
Trajanje pogodb PNE je od 7 do 20 let in se računa od datuma začetka delovanja elektrarn; večina teh pogodb je bila sklenjena za obdobje, daljše od 15 let.
The last PPA expires in 2027.
Zadnja pogodba PNE se izteče leta 2027.
All PPAs are underpinned by the same basic principles:
Vse pogodbe PNE temeljijo na istih osnovnih načelih:
power generators undertake to create new capacity, to modernise equipment and to supply PSE with a fixed minimum volume of electricity from the plant in question;
proizvajalci energije se zavežejo, da bodo ustvarili nove zmogljivosti, posodobili opremo in PSE dobavljali dogovorjeno minimalno količino električne energije iz zadevne elektrarne;
PSE undertakes to purchase at least that minimum volume of electricity;
PSE se zaveže, da bo odkupila vsaj to minimalno količino električne energije;
the electricity purchase price is based on passing costs on to the consumer; power generators charge PSE an amount equivalent to all their fixed and variable costs, plus a profit margin.
nakupna cena električne energije temelji na prenosu stroškov na odjemalca; proizvajalci energije zaračunajo PSE znesek, enakovreden vsem njihovim stalnim in spremenljivim stroškom plus profitna marža.
However, since the final content of PPAs is the result of an individual set of negotiations for each project, they are not completely identical and the details may differ.
Vendar pa je končna vsebina pogodb PNE odvisna od posameznih nizov pogajanj za vsak projekt, zato niso popolnoma enake in se lahko razlikujejo v podrobnosti.
Some PPAs have been amended, some several times, since they were signed.
Nekatere pogodbe PNE so bile od podpisa večkrat spremenjene.
These amendments changed certain aspects of the contract, but the main principles described above were always respected.
Zaradi teh sprememb so se spremenili nekateri vidiki pogodbe, vendar pa so se pri tem upoštevala zgoraj navedena glavna načela.
Bill on the early termination of PPAs in respect of which the decision to initiate the procedure was taken
Predlog zakona o predčasnem prenehanju pogodb PNE, v zvezi s katerim je bila sprejeta odločitev o sprožitvi postopka
The Bill in respect of which the decision to initiate the procedure was taken provided for the power generators listed in Table 1 to voluntarily terminate PPAs concluded with PSE.
Predlog zakona, glede katerega je bila sprejeta odločitev o sprožitvi postopka, je v zvezi s proizvajalci energije iz preglednice 1 predvideval prostovoljno prekinitev pogodb PNE, sklenjenih s PSE.
The power generators that opt in to the system would be entitled to compensation under the conditions laid down in the Bill.
Proizvajalci energije, ki se odločijo za ta sistem, so upravičeni do nadomestila v skladu s pogoji, določenimi v predlogu zakona.
Compensation may cover the difference between the costs incurred by a company for the purpose of discharging a PPA and the share of the revenue generated by the sale of electricity that the company can use to cover these costs.
Nadomestilo lahko krije razliko med stroški, ki bremenijo družbo zaradi prenehanja pogodbe PNE, in deležem prihodka od prodaje električne energije, ki ga družba lahko uporabi za kritje teh stroškov.
This difference is hereinafter referred to as ‘the compensatable difference’.
Ta razlika se v nadaljnjem besedilu imenuje „nadomestljiva razlika“.
These costs also include costs directly linked to the termination of the PPA, such as costs associated with early loan repayments.
Ti stroški lahko vključujejo tudi stroške, ki so neposredno povezani s prenehanjem pogodbe PNE, na primer stroške, povezane s predčasnim odplačilom posojil.
Compensation takes the form of an initial payment, followed by annual adjustments until 2016 and a final adjustment in that year.
Nadomestilo se izplača kot začetni znesek, temu sledijo letne prilagoditve do leta 2016, v tem letu pa končna prilagoditev.
The initial payment is equal to the compensatable difference from 2006 to 2025 or to the year in which the PPA in question was originally to expire, whichever is earlier, based on forecast trends in prices and market shares over that period.
Začetno plačilo je enakovredno nadomestljivi razliki med letoma 2006 in 2025 ali do leta, v katerem naj bi se zadevna pogodba PNE prvotno iztekla, odvisno od tega, kaj se bo zgodilo prej, vse to pa na podlagi napovedanega gibanja cen in tržnih deležev v tem obdobju.
During the period from the entry into force of the Bill to 2014, the amount of the compensatable difference will be recalculated annually on the basis of actual economic data and compared against the amount originally calculated on the basis of the forecast.
V obdobju od začetka veljavnosti predloga zakona do leta 2014 se bo znesek nadomestljive razlike vsako letno ponovno izračunal na podlagi dejanskih ekonomskih podatkov in primerjal z zneskom, prvotno izračunanim na podlagi napovedi.
If the actual value differs from the forecast, an adjustment will be made which may be positive or negative and will give rise either to a further payment to the recipient or to reimbursement by the recipient, as appropriate.
Če se dejanska vrednost razlikuje od napovedane, bo opravljena prilagoditev, ki je lahko pozitivna ali negativna in na podlagi katere se prejemniku izplača dodaten znesek oziroma prejemnik določen znesek povrne.
For practical reasons, in particular the time needed to collect and compile all data, computation of adjustments will actually take place two calendar years after the year to which the economic data refer.
Zaradi praktičnih razlogov, predvsem zaradi potrebnega časa, da se zberejo in združijo vsi podatki, se prilagoditve dejansko izračunajo dve koledarski leti po letu, na katerega se nanašajo ekonomski podatki.
In 2016 a new forecast will be established for trends in prices and market shares covering the period from 2015 to 2025 or the year in which the PPA in question was originally to expire, whichever is earlier (the remaining period).
Leta 2016 bo pripravljena nova napoved gibanja cen in tržnih deležev za obdobje med letoma 2015 in 2025 ali do leta, ko naj bi se zadevna pogodba PNE prvotno iztekla, odvisno od tega, kaj se bo zgodilo prej („preostalo obdobje“).
The amount of the compensatable difference over the remaining period, determined on the basis of this forecast, will be compared against the value calculated using the original forecast.
Znesek nadomestljive razlike v preostalem obdobju, določen na podlagi te napovedi, se bo primerjal z vrednostjo, izračunano na podlagi prvotne napovedi.
If these amounts are different, a final adjustment will be made which will cover the whole remaining period.
Če se ta zneska razlikujeta, bo opravljena končna prilagoditev, ki bo zajela celotno preostalo obdobje.
Like the previous adjustments, the final adjustment may be positive or negative and will give rise either to a further payment to the recipient or to reimbursement by the recipient, as appropriate.
Kot predhodne prilagoditve je lahko tudi končna prilagoditev pozitivna ali negativna, na podlagi česar je prejemniku izplačan dodaten znesek oziroma je prejemniku določen znesek povrnjen.
The total compensation paid, including adjustments, may not exceed the following maximum amount.
Celotno izplačano nadomestilo, vključno s prilagoditvami, ne sme presegati naslednjega najvišjega zneska.
This maximum amount is determined for individual companies or, where companies belong to a single group, for the group:
Ta najvišji znesek je določen za posamezne družbe ali skupino, če so družbe del posamezne skupine:

(v 1000 PLN

Najvišje nadomestilo
This maximum amount is equal to the compensatable difference as calculated from 2006 to 2025 on the basis of the hypothesis that prices on the electricity market will increase steadily but slowly from a level even lower than at present to the levels recorded in Western Europe.
Ta najvišji znesek je enakovreden nadomestljivi razliki, izračunani za obdobje med letoma 2006 in 2025 na podlagi domneve, da se bodo cene na trgu električne energije enakomerno, a počasi dvigovale z ravni, ki je še nižja od sedanje, do ravni, zapisanih v Zahodni Evropi.
In this scenario, average electricity prices start around EUR 22/MWh in 2006, increase slowly to EUR 30/MWh in 2015, then rise more steeply to around EUR 40/MWh in 2018 and stabilize around this amount, with some upward and downward fluctuations, until the end of the reference period in 2025.
Po takem scenariju se povprečne cene električne energije leta 2006 začnejo pri približno 22 EUR/MWh, se počasi zvišajo na 30 EUR/MWh v letu 2015, nato se bolj strmo dvignejo na približno 40 EUR/MWh v letu 2018 in se ustalijo približno na tem znesku z nekaj nihanja navzgor in navzdol do konca referenčnega obdobja leta 2025.
Compensation will be paid by PSE or a fully state-owned subsidiary, and financed by the introduction of a levy on consumers proportionate to their subscription to the electricity grid.
Nadomestilo bo izplačal PSE ali odvisna družba v popolni državni lasti, financiralo pa se bo z uvedbo dajatve za odjemalce, ki bo sorazmerna z njihovo naročnino za elektroenergetsko omrežje.
In order to finance the large initial payment, PSE and/or its subsidiary will securitize revenue from the levy.
Za financiranje obsežnega začetnega plačila bosta PSE in/ali odvisna družba prihodke od dajatve zamenjali za vrednostne papirje.
In its decision to initiate the procedure, with a view to assessing the notified Bill, the Commission examined both the state aid element of the PPAs themselves and the state aid element of the compensation paid in the event of termination of the PPAs.
Komisija je v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka za oceno priglašenega predloga zakona proučila element državne pomoči v samih pogodbah PNE in element državne pomoči v nadomestilu, ki se izplača ob prenehanju pogodb PNE.
As explained in point 3 of the decision to initiate the procedure, these two measures were closely connected.
Kot je pojasnjeno v točki 3 odločitve o sprožitvi postopka, sta ta dva ukrepa tesno povezana.
The doubts raised in the decision to initiate the procedure are summarised in points 3.1 and 3.2. below.
Pomisleki, izraženi v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka, so povzeti v točkah 3.1 in 3.2 v nadaljevanju.
For a more detailed assessment, the Commission refers to point 3 of the decision to initiate the procedure.
Za podrobnejšo oceno se Komisija sklicuje na točko 3 odločitve o sprožitvi postopka.
