Business strategy

PSE’s strategy is a response to the challenges facing the company, resulting from a rapidly changing environment of PSE, including mainly changes of a technological and regulatory nature, as well as building a common Internal Energy Market.

Regulations have set a new framework for the activities of transmission system operators. Technologies, in particular the digitalisation of the power sector and changing consumer behaviour, will influence the operators’ current and shape new areas of activity.

1. Guarantor of energy security

Objective: Maintain a proper level of energy security in a manner that is responsible towards society and the environment

Our core, regulated activity is the fulfilment of the duties of a national transmission system operator. We manage the Polish Power System, balancing electricity demand with electricity production by generating sources available in the PPS .

We take part in creating the European electricity market and actively participate in developing pan-European initiatives taken by operators, members of ENTSO-E .

The power transmission network must allow for changing power generation technologies and the location of generating sources both in Poland and in Europe. We are aware of the challenges of climate, environmental and social changes, and the need to adjust all our activities to face up to them.

2. Exemplary investor

Objective: Win favourable attitude of the investment environment

We plan and implement transmission network investment projects throughout the country. It is an essential condition for ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the transmission system and maintaining the country's energy security. Irrespective of the impact of our activities on the environment, we always listen intently to the needs and expectations of all interested parties.

Utmost care and diligence in performing investment tasks is aimed to ensure that the values of the natural environment will remain available for future generations, and investments will be implemented with the acceptance of local communities in a manner that does not conflict with their broadly defined social interest.
