- Sales of electricity and gaseous fuel to retail customers: 18.2 TWh.
The EBITDA result generated by the ENEA Group in Q1-Q3 2021 was driven largely by the following factors (compared to Q1-Q3 2020):
In the Mining Area, the higher EBITDA was driven mainly by the higher sales of coal, partially offset by a lower sales price and increased costs of operating activities.
In the Generation Area, a significant decrease in EBITDA was recorded in the System Power Plants Segment, driven by the lower margin on generation and the margin on trading and the Balancing Market, partially offset by revenue earned on the Capacity Market. In the RES Segment and the Heat Segment, an increase in EBITDA was recorded.
In the Distribution Area, the higher EBITDA was driven by larger margins on licensed activities coupled with greater operating expenses and a lower result on other operating activities.
In the Trading Area, the elevated EBITDA performance resulted mainly from higher margin realized on the retail market as a result of keeping electricity sales prices at the level similar to the corresponding period of the previous year with a simultaneous increase in sales volumes and lower average purchase prices of electricity on the wholesale market. EBITDA growth was offset by: a change in provisions related to onerous contracts, updated valuation of CO₂ contracts and an increase in the cost of environmental obligations.

Please note that the term EBITDA is defined as the value of operating profit (loss) + depreciation and amortization + impairment losses on non-financial non-current assets (values for the reporting period). EBITDA is a standard measure of efficiency of a business activity, in particular for the industry in which the Issuer's Group operates.
The above definition and methodology for its calculation are the same as those used to calculate this indicator in the Issuer's periodic reports. The definition above is also included in the glossary of terms and abbreviations available on the Company's website (https://ir.enea.pl/slownik).
