Poland raises permit-free energy storage limit to 30 kWh
Poland''s lower house of parliament, the Sejm, has passed amendments to the Building Law to remove the requirement for building permits to construct energy storage
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.
Poland, Europe's tenth-largest economy, is set to become a hotbed of energy storage project development as the share of renewable energy on its grid soars. The country built out a record 1.2 GW of onshore wind power in 2023, according to industry body WindEurope, bringing its total installed capacity to around 9.4 GW.
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Poland's grid modernization efforts are guided by an out-of-date National Energy and Climate Plan and an under-ambitious energy strategy to 2040. Ember says these plans fail to account for recent and forecast growth in renewables, resulting in lack of grid investment and growing connection queues for wind and solar projects.
