Solar panels. Featured Image: foxbat/Shutterstock.com The Polish government has given the thumbs up to the country’s new energy plan through 2040 that gives a major push to wind and solar with the goal of cutting coal's share in the power generation mix and lift the one of renewables in final consumption to at least 23% in 2030.
The acquisition of two 50MW projects totalling 400MWh of capacity marks the developer’s first entry into Poland, which is fast becoming a key market for energy storage in the Central and Eastern Europe region.
The project has obtained the first license promise in Poland for electricity storage, PGE said in a press release. The storage system will be set up at the 716-MW Zarnowiec pumped-storage power plant with 3,600 MWh of storage capacity. The hybrid system will be capable of supplying power to about 200,000 households for at least five hours.
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.
The promise was issued by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office. PGE Group is working on the largest energy storage facility in Europe. The project obtained the first license promise in Poland for electricity storage.
The country’s energy transition is justified by three core reasons: technology, regulation and environment. The recently arrived at the table coronavirus pandemic may well be an added trigger of change in the Polish energy sector.
