There is a rising interest in energy storage in Poland. New regulations, funding programs and rising electricity prices are drivers for a increasing interest in energy storage in Poland. Coming 6th Renexpo Poland, that takes place 19-21 October in Warsaw, provides a good opportunity to follow the new trends and make new business contacts.
Poland’s 2024-2025 energy storage subsidy programs are a key element in the country’s energy transition. With the growing demand for stable energy sources and the integration of renewables into the grid, energy storage facilities take on special importance.
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.
Driving factors for energy storage in Poland are besides continuous feeding programs for renewable energy rising electricity prices and the poor condition of the grid. A “Strategy for sustainable development” is currently under consultation.
The insights from Enex 2025 reinforce that BESS is no longer an emerging trend—it’s a critical part of Poland’s energy transition. With favorable market reforms and growing investment interest, the country is well-positioned to capitalize on energy storage innovations.
U.S. Commercial Service recommends that U.S. companies offering battery energy storage systems take a hard look at the Polish market because there will be opportunities for U.S. companies to propose their solutions for many years to come.
