Learn about Poland’s €1 billion energy storage subsidy aimed at installing 5.4 GWh of BESS by 2028, strengthening grid stability and accelerating the green transition.
Poland has finalized a comprehensive subsidy program aimed at accelerating the deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS), with a total budget of PLN 4 billion (approximately €1 billion).
The introduction of this storage support program marks a key milestone in Poland’s energy transformation. By enabling the deployment of grid-scale battery systems, the country is strengthening its ability to integrate larger volumes of clean energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and enhance power system stability.
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.
