Get a quoteThe 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.
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.
Poland is emerging as a significant player in Europe's energy storage sector. The recent capacity market auctions in December 2024 highlighted a substantial shift towards BESS, with approximately 2.5 GW secured by new generation capacity market units, predominantly Li-ion energy storage projects.
In a bid to tackle the challenge of the growing electricity production from renewable energy sources, the Polish utility is looking to add more than 10 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2035. Its plans involve more than 80 projects, the value of which is estimated at around PLN 18 billion ($4.7 billion).
Poland, Europe’s tenth-largest economy, is set to become a hotbed of energy storage project development as the share of renewable energy on its grid soars. The country built out a record 1.2 GW of onshore wind power in 2023, according to industry body WindEurope, bringing its total installed capacity to around 9.4 GW.
The most advanced energy storage project in the PGE Group’s portfolio is the Żarnowiec Energy Storage Facility. With a power output of 262 MW and a storage capacity of around 981 MWh, the facility will be by far the largest battery energy storage facility in Poland and one of the largest in Europe.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
