BESS 2025: Legal requirements and risks
Below, we outline the key legal requirements for building and operating BESS in Poland in 2025, including zoning, environmental
As expected, Poland's latest capacity market auctions have highlighted a significant shift towards the battery energy storage systems (BESS) beside the fact that the de-rating factor has been significantly decreased.
March 6, 2025: Greenvolt Power and BYD Energy Storage have agreed plans to develop up to 1.6 GWh of BESS projects in Poland.
This is where BESS come into play. These systems are becoming the foundation of a modern, resilient and on-demand energy sector. BESS will support the transformation of Poland's energy mix – from fossil fuels to innovative renewable technologies, including wind farms, solar power, and future-oriented hybrid energy parks combining all three.
The capacity obligations for these projects ranged from 1.2 MW to 153 MW rated power, with an average capacity of around 30 MW. The decision to reduce the de-rating factor for energy storage systems in the last capacity market auction in Poland from 95 percent to 61 percent did not prove detrimental to the market.
