On March 3, 2025, Greenvolt Power, a subsidiary of Portugal’s Greenvolt Group, entered into an agreement with China’s BYD Energy Storage to develop two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Poland, with a total power output of 400 MW and a storage capacity of 1.6 GWh.

The agreement involves the design and operation of two storage facilities, each with a capacity of 200 MW/800 MWh. These will be situated in Turośń Kościelna and Nowa Wieś Ełcka, connecting to Poland's 110 kV and 220 kV transmission networks, respectively. Both projects have secured contracts in Poland's capacity market.

“This marks the largest contract we’ve signed in Europe so far,” said João Manso Neto, CEO of Greenvolt Group. “Our collaboration with BYD Energy Storage highlights our dedication to advancing storage solutions that are vital for enhancing the integration of renewable energy.”

The first phase, which includes constructing substation infrastructure, is already underway. Deliveries are planned to start in Q4 2025, with full installation expected by Q1 2026.

This cooperation not only demonstrates BYD's strong competitiveness in the global energy storage market, but also further consolidates its position in the European market. BYD holds an important position in the global energy storage market, and its energy storage business has developed rapidly in recent years.

According to the latest data, the global shipment of energy storage batteries will reach 303 GWh in 2024, a year-on-year increase of nearly 64%.

Among them, BYD's energy storage system shipment volume is 28.4GWh, accounting for 15% of the global market and ranking second in the world.

In addition, BYD's energy storage business covers more than 110 countries and regions, with a cumulative shipment volume of over 40.4GWh. In overseas markets, BYD's performance is particularly significant, and it is expected that its overseas energy storage battery shipments will exceed 60% of the total by 2024.
