Polish state-owned power company PGE Group (WSE:PGE) is planning to build a battery energy storage system (BESS) of at least 200 MW/820MWh which will be linked to an existing pumped-storage power plant in the north of Poland.
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.
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.
Australian renewables developer Edify Energy is planning to take advantage of existing infrastructure to maximise its access to the national electricity grid by building a 200 MW solar farm and four-hour duration battery energy storage system near the Callide coal-fired power station in central Queensland.
The government''s draft Energy Policy 2040 calls for 6 GW of installed storage capacity – enough to power 4 million homes for 4 hours [6]. Emerging technologies like zinc-air batteries and compressed air storage are being tested in Silesian industrial zones.
July 28, 2022: Polish state energy firm PGE has received a preliminary licence from regulators to build a 200MW battery storage facility in the country as part of a commercial hybrid energy storage (CHEST) project, the company said on July 20.
The de-rating factor for energy storage bidding into the next capacity market auction in Poland has been slashed from 95% in the last two previous auctions to 61%, Jan K?oczko, deputy commercial director of independent power producer (IPP) Greenvolt Power said on
