The Polish arm of Portugal''s Greenvolt Group has joined hands with China''s BYD on a 400 MW/1.6 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) deployment in Poland.
That trend is expected to continue. In 2026/27, the average pack price is expected to fall below $100/kWh, based on raw material costs, competition, and pressure from
As indicated above, the subsidy covers investment costs for electricity storage systems, equipment testing, grid connections, infrastructure development, and system configuration.
Wider deployment and the commercialisation of new battery storage technologies has led to rapid cost reductions, notably for lithium-ion batteries, but also for high-temperature sodium-sulphur
ttery costs and growth in overall BESS capacity. Lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries have become the dominant form for new BESS installations, thanks to the significant cost declines of battery
How much does it cost to build a battery in 2024? Modo Energy''s industry survey reveals key Capex, O&M, and connection cost benchmarks for BESS projects.
This information was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the U.S. Government. Neither the U.S. Government nor any agency thereof, nor any of their employees,
The projects awarded included a 60 MW / 241 MWh BESS project with COD expected in 2026, and a 100 MW / 400 MWh BESS project with COD expected in 2029.
The draft parameters for this year''s capacity market auction in Poland could make the rollout of battery energy storage systems (BESS) much more difficult. The document proposes a significant
BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage Systems, which store energy generated from renewable sources like solar or wind. The stored energy can then be used
Who is eligible for the aid? The aid is available to businesses having their registered office or a branch office in Poland (excluding financial companies). The call for
Greenvolt Group, through Greenvolt Power, a company specializing in utility-scale wind, solar and energy storage projects, has signed an agreement with BYD Energy Storage, one of the largest suppliers of Battery
The study presents mean values on the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) metric based on several existing cost estimations and market data on energy storage regarding three different battery
4-hour BESS in 2026 to earn an average of AU$263,000/MW It is important to highlight that the capital expenditure (CAPEX) for 4-hour batteries is expected to decrease by 20% by 2030, making investments in this

Grant Scope and Eligible Costs As indicated above, the subsidy covers investment costs for electricity storage systems, equipment testing, grid connections, infrastructure development, and system configuration. Eligible
Compared to 2022, the national laboratory says the BESS costs will fall 47%, 32% and 16% by 2030 in its low, mid and high cost projections, respectively. By 2050, the costs could fall by 67%, 51% and 21% in the three
Polish capacity market rates in 2021 and 2022 auctions have exceeded 400.000 PLN/MW/year making Polish market to be the most attractive in Europe. Inflation indexed government
The majority of newly installed large-scale electricity storage systems in recent years utilise lithium-ion chemistries for increased grid resiliency and sustainability. The capacity of lithium
As with utility-scale BESS, the cost of a residential BESS is a function of both the power capacity and the energy storage capacity of the system, and both must be considered when estimating
Poland is set to lead Eastern Europe''s battery storage market, with 9GW offered grid connections and 16GW in the capacity auctions.

In this way, the cost projections capture the rapid projected decline in battery costs and account for component costs decreasing at different rates in the future. Figure 3 shows the resulting utility-scale BESS future cost projections for the
The disbursement of funds will extend up to 2030-31 in 5 tranches. The cost of BESS system is anticipated to be in the range of ₹ 2.40 to ₹ 2.20 Crore/MWh during the period
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 .
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.
by Magdalena Skurowska The call for proposals of projects to be subsidised under the Energy Storage Systems scheme financed from the National Recover and Resilience Plan opened on 17 February 2025. The scheme’s objective is to build a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS).
Notable changes occurred to other Polish markets relevant to BESS. On July 11th, Polish TSO, PSE, officially joined the European PICASSO platform for the exchange of automatic Frequency Restoration Reserves (aFRR) .
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
The last several months in the Polish political and regulatory space have been eventful from the perspective of BESS and energy markets. Only this week brought the creation of the new Ministry of Energy .
