Poland’s shift toward renewable energy has accelerated significantly in recent years, creating an urgent need for energy storage solutions. According to the Energy Market Agency, Poland’s installed solar capacity reached approximately 20.7 GW by the end of November 2024 – a 28% year-on-year increase.
The scheme has been brewing since 2024, with the final regulation published in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland in March this year. It received European Commission approval, which authorised state aid of €1.2 billion in state aid to support at least 5.4 GWh of new electricity storage facilities.
“The development of storage projects is a guarantee of Poland’s energy security. The implementation of PGE’s ambitious investment plans will contribute to reducing the emission intensity of the Polish economy, and thus increase its competitiveness on the European and global markets,” commented Jakub Jaworowski, minister of state assets.
The energy storage sector in Poland showed significant momentum even before the launch of this new subsidy programme. Through power market auctions for 2021-2028 and supplementary auctions for 2021-2025, contracts for energy storage with a total capacity of 9.5 GW were already wrapped up.
