PKP CARGO has concluded another important agreement for coal transport for Enea Wytwarzanie. The largest Polish carrier submitted the most advantageous offer in the tender for the transport of this fuel from the Lubelski Węgiel “Bogdanka” mine to the Kozienice Power Plant. Under the new contract, PKP CARGO will transport 5.3 million tons of coal over a period of 14 months.
The new agreement is a continuation of the long-term cooperation between PKP CARGO and Enea Wytwarzanie. The largest Polish operator has already carried out and is currently performing coal transport for the Enea Group to the Kozienice Power Plant, both from the Lubelski Węgiel “Bogdanka” mine and from several Silesian mines.
– We are satisfied that our next offer submitted for coal transport for the Enea Group proved to be the most advantageous, especially since the tender was quite unusual, as it assumed the implementation of transport under conditions of closures of parts of railway lines modernized by PKP PLK, covering the Jaszczów – Świerże Górne route. Therefore, the offer also included the carrier’s additional costs resulting from the necessity of taking detours – said Grzegorz Fingas, member of the PKP CARGO Management Board for Commercial Affairs.
– The continuation of cooperation with Enea confirms the quality of our services and market experience, as well as the fact that our partners in the energy sector can always count on us. PKP CARGO has proven itself for years as a reliable partner in ensuring the continuity of fuel supplies to the Kozienice Power Plant – emphasized Maciej Libiszewski, President of the Management Board of PKP CARGO.
The agreement on behalf of the Enea Group was signed by representatives of Enea Trading, the company responsible within the Group for, among other things, ensuring the continuity of fuel supplies, logistics services, and conducting proceedings for fuel supplies and logistics services for the Enea Group’s generation assets.
– We are pleased with the result of the tender and the signing of the contract with PKP CARGO. Due to the modernization of the standard railway route leading from LW Bogdanka, the route for delivering coal fuel to the Kozienice Power Plant has changed. PKP CARGO proposed the best solution, which allows us to optimize costs related to fuel transport while maintaining a high standard of service and continuity of supply – said Dawid Klimczak, President of Enea Trading.
Coal transport under the contract won by PKP CARGO will take place along a new, longer route via line no. 30. Transports will be carried out in block trains with a minimum net weight of 2,300 tons, in standard coal hopper wagons. Two contracts concluded in 2016 by PKP CARGO with Enea Wytwarzanie are still being implemented. One is for coal transport from the Lubelski Węgiel “Bogdanka” mine to the Kozienice Power Plant. The second is for coal transport to this power plant from Silesian mines.
