GoldenPeaks Capital has announced the acquisition of two new battery energy storage system projects, with a total capacity of 54 MW, or 216 MWh, in Poland. This transaction is part of the group’s strategy to develop flexible energy infrastructure and strengthen its portfolio of assets on the Polish market.

Capacity contracts to secure revenues

The two projects were selected in the 2024 Polish capacity market auction, each obtaining a seventeen-year contract. The systems, designed to operate for four hours, received the maximum amount of capacity payments allocated to battery energy storage assets. This mechanism guarantees a stable long-term revenue stream in a context of energy transition and evolving electricity markets in Central Europe.

The transaction was finalised after a six-week period of due diligence and contract negotiations. The Mercer acquisition team, led by Damian Majkowski, managed the process involving multiple industrial and technical stakeholders. According to the details provided, the Baczyna project represents 46 MW and 184 MWh, connected to the high-voltage grid at 110 kV, while the Jelenia Góra project accounts for 8 MW and 32 MWh, connected to the medium-voltage grid at 20 kV.

An expanding storage portfolio

With this acquisition, GoldenPeaks Capital increases the total capacity of its battery energy storage projects in Poland to 124 MW. This investment strategy aims to anticipate changes in the European energy mix and respond to the growing demand for flexibility on the grid. The seventeen-year capacity payments for these projects correspond to the last major public support measures for storage systems in Poland.

GoldenPeaks Capital stated that this transaction demonstrates its ambition to make energy storage a core component of its industrial development in the European market. “The success of this acquisition highlights teamwork and the strategic positioning of energy storage in our portfolio,” said Adriano Agosti, Chairman of the group.
