Actions brought by the Group
Actions which Enea SA and Enea Operator sp. z o.o. brought to courts of general jurisdiction refer to claims for receivables due to sale of electricity (the so–called electricity cases) and claims for other receivables – illegal consumption of electricity, connections to the grid and other specialized services (the so-called non-electricity cases).
