The net result is a turnaround on a net gain of PLN66mn in the second quarter of 2019, figures show. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a negative effect of PLN95mn on the company’s results, Energa said.

Earlier, Energa warned it was going to take in impairments and reserves to the tune of over PLN1.1bn.
