Poland raises capacity threshold for permit-free
The amendment is seen as an important step toward streamlining regulation and accelerating the deployment of energy
With the rising share of intermittent renewable power, large-scale battery storage systems are becoming critical to maintaining grid stability. By addressing challenges such as peak load balancing and frequency regulation, energy storage enhances the resilience and flexibility of Poland's electricity system.
Poland's new rules state that energy storage facilities over 10MW require licensing to ensure they can provide services to Poland's National Power System. Facilities 10MW or smaller do not need licensing but do need to register with the transmission system operator or distribution system operator for their area.
Poland has finalized a comprehensive subsidy program aimed at accelerating the deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS), with a total budget of PLN 4 billion (approximately €1 billion).
The introduction of this storage support program marks a key milestone in Poland's energy transformation. By enabling the deployment of grid-scale battery systems, the country is strengthening its ability to integrate larger volumes of clean energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and enhance power system stability.
