The most advanced energy storage project in the PGE Group’s portfolio is the Żarnowiec Energy Storage Facility. With a power output of 262 MW and a storage capacity of around 981 MWh, the facility will be by far the largest battery energy storage facility in Poland and one of the largest in Europe.
In a bid to tackle the challenge of the growing electricity production from renewable energy sources, the Polish utility is looking to add more than 10 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2035. Its plans involve more than 80 projects, the value of which is estimated at around PLN 18 billion ($4.7 billion).
Call for applications under the Scheme “Energy storage facilities and related infrastructure for improving the stability of the Polish electricity grid” will be launched already this year. Subsidy contracts are to be entered into by the end of 2025, while the period for spending the funds ends with 2028.
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.
By addressing challenges such as peak load balancing and frequency regulation, energy storage enhances the resilience and flexibility of Poland’s electricity system. The storage support program is expected to begin accepting applications in the second quarter of 2025. Full details and deadlines will be published by the NFOŚiGW.
PLN 4 billion available. On 23 July 2024, the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management put under public consultation a new priority aid scheme entitled: “Energy storage facilities and related infrastructure for improving the stability of the Polish electricity grid”.
