Poland has concluded its 2028 capacity market auction, awarding around 1.7GW of contracts to battery storage projects.
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.
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.
