The project started last September, when five 1MW lead batteries and one 1MW lithium-ion battery providing a total storage capacity of just over 27MWh — the largest battery storage system in Poland, the project leaders say — was installed at the Bystra wind farm in Gdansk.
Polish utility PGE Group has launched a tender for the design and construction of a battery storage facility with a minimum capacity of at least 900 MWh. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s DTEK has completed the acqusition of a 532 MWh battery storage project in southern Poland. Image: Sandia National Laboratories, Wikimedia Commons From ESS News
Poland is set to lead Eastern Europe's battery storage market, with 9GW offered grid connections and 16GW in the capacity auctions.
The acquisition of two 50MW projects totalling 400MWh of capacity marks the developer’s first entry into Poland, which is fast becoming a key market for energy storage in the Central and Eastern Europe region.
This hybrid BESS is Poland’s largest-scale battery energy storage system, which combines high-output lithium-ion batteries with high-capacity lead-acid storage batteries, a combination to obtain high performance at low cost.
This year it is moving to a larger venue, bringing together Europe’s leading investors, policymakers, developers, utilities, energy buyers and service providers all in one place.
