POWER

Poland’s energy storage capacity exceeds 2GW, driven by 1.8GW of pumped-storage plants, while battery storage remains limited at 276MW, with plans to expand to 2GW of BESS by 2030 and 8.7GW by 2040, according to Deputy Climate Minister Urszula Zielinska, cited by ISB news.

  • Alongside battery storage advancements, other energy storage technologies are expected to play a larger role in the transition.
  • Poland has submitted its PLN4bn (€930mn) draft mechanism to support the application of energy storage facilities, with the program to be implemented over 2024-28, the government said in July.
  • The program is expected to be launched soon, Zielinska added.
