The capacity market is set to kickstart the large-scale BESS market in Poland by providing the basic building blocks of the business case, according to numerous delegates interviewed by Energy-Storage.news at Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe (CEE) 2023 in Warsaw in September.
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
Moreover, preferential or market loans could finance up to 100% of eligible costs. This optimism is at the same time being overshadowed by the capacity market developments. Until recently, the Polish capacity market provided a very attractive source of stable revenues for BESS, offering 17-year contracts.
The continued interest of BESS developers in the Polish markets was recently highlighted by a staggering number of applications in the 1 billion EUR subsidy scheme. A total of 630 applications were received for 20 GW and 122 GWh of BESS, exceeding the program’s budget sevenfold .
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
