Poland wants to unlock the potential of wind energy – the draft new laws make spatial planning for wind farms more flexible. The removal of restrictions on the distance of wind turbines from buildings is expected to upsize RES projects, which reflects the government's new, ambitious plans for renewable energy growth.
Poland, Europe's tenth-largest economy, is set to become a hotbed of energy storage project development as the share of renewable energy on its grid soars. The country built out a record 1.2 GW of onshore wind power in 2023, according to industry body WindEurope, bringing its total installed capacity to around 9.4 GW.
Eligible projects must have a capacity of at least 2 MW/4 MWh, connected to the distribution and transmission network at all voltage levels. The scheme has been brewing since 2024, with the final regulation published in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland in March this year.
In Poland, interest in energy storage investment has been evident for some time. Last year's main auction of the power market, with capacity delivery for 2029, further bumped up the capacity of storage projects.
