COAL: Tauron to Possibly Not Separate Coal Assets

COAL

Polish utility Tauron is preparing for the possibility of not separating its coal assets, with a decision anticipated by the end of this year, CEO Grzegorz Lot said, cited by ISB News.

  • “Of course, the preferred solution for us is to separate coal assets, because it provides much greater investment opportunities, but we are also prepared conceptually and organizationally for the scenario of no separation, when we take on the entire transformation,” Lot added.
  • Poland’s previous government had been mulling the decision to buy Polish utility's coal assets and the debt associated with them. The units would be managed by state-owned firm NABE in a bid to increase investments in renewables and quicken the transition.
  • But the current Polish government put the decision on hold.
  • “We hope that the decision on this matter will be made by the end of 2024, although of course, it does not depend only on us," added the president,” Lot said.
