In 2022, there were no pending lawsuits against ENEA Group companies relating to anti-competitive conduct and violations of anti-monopoly regulations. They did not violate any regulations or voluntary marketing communication codes either. Standards of advertising ethics were violated, however, by the Polish Power Plants Association, which is composed, among others, of two ENEA Group companies: ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec and ENEA Wytwarzanie. In 2022, the organization carried out a billboard advertising campaign dedicated to the causes of energy price rises in Poland and Europe. The Advertising Council decided that the initiative violated the standards of the Code of Ethics in Advertising as regards providing reliable information to consumers. The Council stated that, in accordance with experts’ estimates, the European Union’s climate policy accounts for approx. 20%–30% of energy generation costs instead of 60%, as was claimed in the communications.
