Our principal operations are in the Downstream segment. The ORLEN Group manages refining assets and remains the leading fuel producer in Poland, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. It is also the leading producer of petrochemicals.
The combined processing capacities of the ORLEN Group’s refineries exceed 35m tonnes per year.
Efficient logistics infrastructure, consisting of surface and underground storage depots and pipeline networks, is a key element of value creation on the fuel market.
Our plants produce fuels, refining products and petrochemicals, bitumens, oils, olefins, polyolefins, fertilizers, salt-based chemicals and other products of key importance for many sectors of the economy.
The ORLEN Group is also a producer of heat and electricity.
The main generation assets of the Downstream segment are the CHP plant in Płock (being Poland’s largest commercial power generating unit, used to supply utilities to the refinery), the CHP plants of the Unipetrol Group and ORLEN Lietuva, as well as the CCGT units in Włocławek and Płock. The ORLEN Group is Poland’s largest industrial electricity producer.
The Group has also embarked on renewable energy projects. PKN ORLEN is well advanced with the process to build offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, with a maximum capacity of up to 1,200 MW. In 2020, PKN ORLEN acquired the Energa Group. The acquisition was the largest transaction of its kind on the Polish fuels and energy market. The ENERGA Group owns more than 50 RES generation assets (i.e. more than 30% of the total generation volumes). The acquisition of Grupa LOTOS will mark another step towards building a multi-utility group.
