The GROUP may make those profits, but the INDIVIDUAL companies won't. Cross-subsidies are not allowed. You could unfairly use profits from one company to prop up another, thereby putting competitors of that unprofitable company out of business.
The payments seem to be mainly related to
excessive green taxes. Certain processes use a lot of energy, there is no getting around that. If there was, they would use it regardless of any green taxes.
