Poland''s energy storage boom is here
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will soak up surplus electricity during high production periods and release it when generation
Poland's new rules state that energy storage facilities over 10MW require licensing to ensure they can provide services to Poland's National Power System. Facilities 10MW or smaller do not need licensing but do need to register with the transmission system operator or distribution system operator for their area.
The energy storage sector in Poland showed significant momentum even before the launch of this new subsidy programme. Through power market auctions for 2021-2028 and supplementary auctions for 2021-2025, contracts for energy storage with a total capacity of 9.5 GW were already wrapped up.
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.
