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 Polish Economic Institute noted that in December 2024's power market auction alone, approximately 2.5 GW of storage capacity was contracted – a 44% jump over the 1.7 GW contracted in 2023. This growth trajectory looks set to continue as renewable penetration ramps up and grid stabilisation becomes more critical.
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.
