It was created as the result of the division of Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Poland's state-owned railway company) into several dozen companies to prepare the ground for privatisation in line with advice that the Polish government had received from the World Bank.
PKP SA originally planned to privatise PKP Energetyka in 2011.[1] and sold it to CVC Capital Partners for 1.965 billion PLN (~525 million USD) in September 2015.[2]
In late 2022, it was reported that the Polish Pis government might buy PKP Energetyka back from CVC Capital Partners.[3]
