The Polish government recently awarded electricity sales contracts for energy projects with a total capacity of 205 MW during its public auctions. These projects include a 165 MW solar farm and a 40 MW wind farm, located in the southwest and southeast of the country, respectively.

The allocation of these contracts is part of Poland’s strategy to diversify its energy mix and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. The selected projects are essential for achieving national renewable energy goals while adhering to European commitments for energy transition.

Expanding energy storage capacity

In parallel, two battery energy storage units with a total capacity of 200 MW/400 MWh were also selected in a dedicated auction. These facilities aim to support grid stability, particularly as solar and wind energy integration into the national grid increases.

An expanding investment portfolio

Poland has become a focal point for energy investments, with a growing portfolio of solar and wind projects. By the end of the third quarter of 2024, the country had ongoing developments representing approximately 3.1 GW. This dynamic reflects a desire to strengthen energy sovereignty while attracting foreign capital to the renewable energy sector.

A market supported by public policies

Public policies play a central role in supporting renewable energy development in Poland. Government auctions, regularly organized, help finance long-term projects and provide stable prices for electricity producers. This mechanism also aims to encourage investments in complementary technologies, such as energy storage.
