Poland raises permit-free energy storage limit to 30
Poland''s lower house of parliament, the Sejm, has passed amendments to the Building Law to remove the requirement for building
Poland has just rolled out one of Europe's most ambitious energy storage programmes – a €980 million initiative that's set to transform the country's grid infrastructure. The Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment has finalised this landmark subsidy scheme, targeting over 5 GWh of new storage capacity by 2028.
The scheme has been brewing since 2024, with the final regulation published in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland in March this year. It received European Commission approval, which authorised state aid of €1.2 billion in state aid to support at least 5.4 GWh of new electricity storage facilities.
Eligible projects must have a capacity of at least 2 MW/4 MWh, connected to the distribution and transmission network at all voltage levels. The scheme has been brewing since 2024, with the final regulation published in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland in March this year.
Due for Q1 2026 completion, this project's 800MWh per site configuration directly addresses Poland's need for long-duration storage solutions beyond typical 4-hour systems. LCP Delta's latest analysis paints a rollercoaster trajectory for Polish BESS deployment : This J-curve reflects the 2-3 year lead time for capacity market projects.
