Abstract: The motive for the functioning of enterprises in the market economy is the maximization of benefits by achieving positive financial results with the minimum possible involvement of capital. The positive results achieved are perceived very positively by the stakeholders. To achieve this, it is necessary to carry out reorganization processes (mergers and acquisitions) within capital groups, which are perceived as necessary (positive) measures. These phenomena have been observed in the energy sector for many years, and the years 2010–2021 were adopted as the research period. The aim of this article is to attempt to answer the question of whether the multi-energy concern is the result of activities carried out in light of the 2030 Agenda. The effect of merging the entities is capital concentration. This fact has been verified by reviewing changes in the structures of capital groups in the energy sector against the background of the largest mergers and acquisitions in Poland in terms of value. The theoretical part presents the differences in the terminology of mergers and acquisitions and the motives for their creation and operation, with an emphasis on energy groups. Therefore, the authors undertook research aimed at identifying and assessing the main premises and effects of capital concentration through mergers and acquisitions in the energy sector in Poland.
