As Poland continues to transition from coal-fired power plants to renewable energy sources, the need for reliable energy storage solutions becomes increasingly critical.
Large system-born energy storage: Initiating programs aimed at energy storage, primarily hydrogen-based, corresponding to grid capacity. To unlock the full potential of renewables, Poland must invest in its power grid. An estimated EUR 25 billion upgrade is needed to accommodate the transition.
Specifically, the Polish northern grid must be strengthened to handle offshore power and other locally-sourced energy, enabling the transfer of this energy to southern regions. Grid operators are constructing new 400 kV lines or replacing existing 220 kV lines with 400 kV dual lines.
To unlock the full potential of renewables, Poland must invest in its power grid. An estimated EUR 25 billion upgrade is needed to accommodate the transition. This investment will enhance grid capacity, improve interconnections, and facilitate the integration of clean energy sources.
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.
Connection refusals: Between 2015 and 2021, Poland experienced nearly 6,000 connection refusals issued by grid operators. These refusals blocked approximately 30 gigawatts of capacity, primarily from renewable energy projects.
According to data from the Energy Market Agency, at the end of November 2024, Poland’s installed capacity was about 20.7 GW, growing year-on-year by almost 28 percent, and the installed capacity of wind power plants was about 10.2 GW, increasing year-on-year by about 8 percent.
