ORLEN delivers record operational performance in 2024

In 2024, the ORLEN Group delivered record operational performance, marked by the highest levels of electricity generation from gas and renewable sources in its history, alongside its strongest natural gas production to date. The volume of low- and zero-emission energy generated during the year would have been sufficient to meet the annual demand of nearly half of all Polish households. This performance was supported by a more than 66% year-on-year increase in installed capacity across photovoltaic and wind assets, as well as the commencement of production from newly developed gas fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The Energy and Gas segments together accounted for nearly 80% of the Group’s EBITDA, which totalled PLN 35.5 billion before impairment charges. The Management Board has recommended a record dividend of PLN 6 per share for the 2024 financial year.
