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 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.
