Mar 3, 2025 · Poland is accelerating its energy transition, creating new opportunities in the energy storage market! GSL Energy provides high-performance and safe LiFePO4 battery storage
As expected, Poland’s latest capacity market auctions have highlighted a significant shift towards the battery energy storage systems (BESS) beside the fact that the de-rating factor has been significantly decreased.
Amidst Poland’s transition from traditional energy sources to a renewable-centric landscape, battery storage is well-positioned to help ensure the grid’s operability, provide the system with firm capacity and complement the intermittent nature of renewable energy.
Poland has finalized a comprehensive subsidy program aimed at accelerating the deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS), with a total budget of PLN 4 billion (approximately €1 billion).
The capacity obligations for these projects ranged from 1.2 MW to 153 MW rated power, with an average capacity of around 30 MW. The decision to reduce the de-rating factor for energy storage systems in the last capacity market auction in Poland from 95 percent to 61 percent did not prove detrimental to the market.
Learn about Poland’s €1 billion energy storage subsidy aimed at installing 5.4 GWh of BESS by 2028, strengthening grid stability and accelerating the green transition.
Polish state-owned power company PGE Group is planning to build a battery energy storage system (BESS) of at least 200 MW/820MWh in the north of Poland. The project has obtained the first license promise in Poland for electricity storage, PGE said in a press release.
