Platinum Megawatts 2023 

‘The world is continuously changing and the pace and magnitude of these changes seem to be increasing. The impact of all sorts of geopolitical, economic or humanitarian turmoil can be seen in everyone's daily lives and in our business strategies. The year 2023 was no less challenging or surprising, both on the economic and regulatory dimension. In such conditions, it takes real mastery to draw the right conclusions, align the plans and execute them consistently. I think we have succeeded to a large extent. Otherwise, we would not be able to recognise the most active companies and traders of the past year once again. Thank you for this work, because it is also thanks to you that the Exchange is able to grow by delivering solutions according to your needs. And I congratulate the best of the best – the winners of the Platinum Megawatts 2023’ said Piotr Zawistowski, President of the Management Board of TGE.

‘Rozrachunki’ awards 2023

‘The year 2023 was a time of intensive operational efforts for IRGiT. We have mainly focused on implementing new solutions, such as the launch of the new clearing system PCCP3 and the implementation of the reverse charge mechanism for exchange transactions, which has significantly contributed to reducing the cost of participating in exchange trading. It was also a record year in terms of the value of transactions cleared by IRGiT as we exceeded the PLN 210 billion mark. I am very pleased that the IRGiT’s offer is becoming more and more flexible, and this is largely thanks to the involvement of the House Members and the requests they report. We extend our sincere congratulations to all the winners of TGE and IRGiT awards for 2023’ said Łukasz Goliszewski, President of the Management Board of IRGiT.

As part of the Summary of the Exchange Year 2023, the ‘Rozrachunki’ awards went to:

• E.ON Polska S.A. – for the best management of non-cash funds in 2023;
• ENIQ Sp. z o.o. – for the best application of initial margin offsetting between products in 2023;
• Towarzystwo Gospodarcze Polskie Elektrownie (Business Association of Polish Power Plants) – for active participation in the development of a VAT reverse charge mechanism on the Polish exchange market.
