Large-scale battery storage in Europe: How to invest in the energy transition with power storage. Sustainable, secure, future-oriented. Here''s how it works.
				    Poland has made significant progress this year,with the announcement of major reform to the balancing markets encouraging greater participation of battery storage in the capacity market.
				    The results of Poland''s recent capacity market auction have been revealed, with a clearing price significantly lower than the previous years and IPP Greenvolt saying it won the lion''s share of around 1.7GW of BESS
				    By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations
				    Polish utility PGE Group has launched a tender for the design and construction of a battery storage facility with a minimum capacity of at least 900 MWh. Meanwhile, Ukraine''s

				    According to the Minister of Development, the liberalization of the distance law will allow 12-13 GW of capacity to be reached by 2030, while the total potential for onshore wind power in Poland exceeds 44 GW.
				    The pledge represents a more than fivefold jump in "active investments" and could enable 100% U.S.-made supply for domestic battery storage projects, the American Clean Power Association said.
