Deliveries for both projects will begin in Q4 2025, with completion scheduled for Q1 2026. Through its collaboration with BYD Energy Storage, Greenvolt Group is successfully
In Poland, interest in energy storage investment has been evident for some time. Last year’s main auction of the power market, with capacity delivery for 2029, further bumped up the capacity of storage projects.
The insights from Enex 2025 reinforce that BESS is no longer an emerging trend—it’s a critical part of Poland’s energy transition. With favorable market reforms and growing investment interest, the country is well-positioned to capitalize on energy storage innovations.
Poland is emerging as a significant player in Europe's energy storage sector. The recent capacity market auctions in December 2024 highlighted a substantial shift towards BESS, with approximately 2.5 GW secured by new generation capacity market units, predominantly Li-ion energy storage projects.
The Energy Regulatory Office said in a report last year on electricity storage in Poland that, as a result of the main power market auctions for 2021-2028 and the supplementary auctions for 2012-2025, contracts for energy storage with a total capacity of 9.5 GW were concluded.
U.S. Commercial Service recommends that U.S. companies offering battery energy storage systems take a hard look at the Polish market because there will be opportunities for U.S. companies to propose their solutions for many years to come. For more information, please contact Commercial Service Poland at office.warsaw@trade.gov.
The Polish Economic Institute reported that in the power market’s main auction, which was held in December 2024, storage capacity of around 2.5 GW was contracted, indicating that this was a 44 percent increase over 2023, in which the total contracted for batteries was 1.7 GW.
