Polish Utilities: a flash in the pan (Enea and Tauron stay HOLD, PGE s...

We have updated our forecasts for the Polish utilities, following the companies’ new strategies, and the strong results in 1H25, which are likely to deteriorate in 2H25E and 2026E. All three are planning record-high capex until 2035E (PGE PLN 235bn; Enea PLN 107.5bn; Tauron PLN 100bn), mitigated partly by the favourable regulated returns and the new support for conventional generation, plus the low-cost National Recovery Plan financing (0.5% interest).

Hidroelectrica: water should yield more (SELL - transfer of coverage)

We transfer coverage of Hidroelectrica with a SELL and a 12M price target (PT) of RON 115.4/share, implying 5% downside. Hidroelectrica is the largest power producer in Romania, with 6.3 GW of hydro capacity, and one of the largest power suppliers in the country, with a c.15% market share. In 1H25, weak hydrological conditions weighed on its output, with net hydro production down 27% yoy and 30% below the 10Y historical average (9.0 TWh). While we assume a hydro volume normalisation in 2026-27E,...
