Enea wants to buy imported coal from Węglokoks

WSE-listed, state-owned utility Enea is in talks with state-controlled coal trader Węglokoks to buy imported coal, Enea’s CEO Mirosław Kowalik said, adding that the company is not currently facing a supply deficit. “At present, we don't see a need to import coal, but Węglokoks came to us with an offer, so we’re talking,” Kowalik said. He added that the coal would be imported from the US and used in blends. “We are talking about blending, using some waste, releasing certain alternatives, reserves,” Kowalik explained. Coal imports by the state's coal trading firm Węglokoks had initially been said headed for re-export, but will more likely be heading to select Polish power plants, according to Polish media.
