Fibris

A large group of our customers are energy-intensive industry companies. These companies are entitled to take advantage of concessions aimed at reducing high energy costs.

One of them is Fibris S.A., a Polish manufacturer of fiberboard.
Our cooperation began in 2015, when the possibility of obtaining RES relief for energy-intensive customers consuming less than 100 GWh of electricity was emerging. At that time, we offered support in becoming an Industrial Customer. The company’s Board of Directors accepted our proposal, because with an annual energy consumption volume of 40 GWh, this translated into a significant reduction of energy costs.
As part of the project, every year we submit a statement to the Energy Regulatory Office on meeting the criteria for obtaining the status of Industrial Recipient, together with an auditor’s opinion confirming the correctness of the calculation of the energy consumption intensity factor. The ERO President then places such an entity on the list of Industrial Consumers for the following calendar year. This entry is the basis for a reduction in the cost of active energy, through a reduction in the amount of green and blue certificates that are a component of the price of active energy, as well as for the Energy Distributor to apply a discount on the RES fee and the cogeneration fee. The final stage of the project cycle is the submission of a report to the ERO on the fulfillment of the obligation resulting from the Industrial Customer status.

Another relief possible for energy-intensive consumers has appeared in the amended Excise Tax Law. Thanks to it, an industrial consumer can get a partial refund of the excise tax paid on energy. As in the case of the RES tax credit, together with our client, we have been applying for excise tax refunds every year since 2017.
Thanks to cooperation in both areas, Fibris S.A. has achieved savings of more than PLN 7 million.
