The four projects have a combined capacity of 114 MW and are located in the north-western part of Poland. European Energy has 24 months to bring the projects to the ready-to-build stage. European Energy expects to connect the batteries to the grid in 2027, with the capacity market support commencing in 2029.
“This is a significant development for European Energy in Poland. We have extensive experience with traditional renewable energy projects in the country, and we are excited to venture into a new business area here,” says Olga Sypula, Country Manager in Poland for European Energy.
Since 2024, European Energy has prioritised battery storage as a key business area, with developments underway in many of the markets where the company operates.
“Batteries allow us to utilise our renewable energy parks more effectively and efficiently. This development in Poland enables us to achieve operational excellence in a field that is relatively new to the entire sector. We hope to use the experiences gained in Poland to further accelerate similar solutions in our other key markets,” says Thorvald Spanggaard, EVP and Head of Project Development at European Energy.
European Energy sees battery storage as a cornerstone of its future strategy, aligning with its commitment to integrating innovative technologies into renewable energy solutions. Beyond Poland, European Energy is actively exploring battery projects in other European countries, where energy storage is becoming increasingly critical to balancing intermittent renewable energy supply with demand.
European Energy's battery projects also align with broader European Union goals to achieve net-zero emissions and enhance energy security. By expanding its presence in the battery sector, the company aims to become a leader in energy storage, facilitating the transition to a cleaner and more resilient energy grid.
“We recognise that the energy landscape is rapidly evolving, and battery storage is at the heart of this transformation. Our commitment to innovation ensures that we remain at the forefront of renewable energy development,” adds Spanggaard.
