The Polish government has released the final list of energy storage projects approved for funding under its PLN 4.15 billion ($1.15 billion) subsidy program.

According to the ranking published by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW), a total of 172 energy storage facilities are set to be developed across Poland by the end of 2028. Collectively, the projects are expected to provide approximately 3,900 MW of installed power and around 14,500 MWh of energy storage capacity. This volume of storage is equivalent to the average daily electricity consumption of about 3 million households.

On December 16, the Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment held a briefing outlining support measures for large-scale energy storage facilities. During the event, Minister of Climate and Environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska emphasized the importance of energy storage in stabilizing electricity prices.

“Our energy storage activities are directly linked to energy prices. With storage, we can extend the use of the cheapest renewable energy to periods when prices are higher, such as in the evening,” she said.

The program forms part of Poland’s broader efforts to strengthen grid flexibility, integrate a growing share of renewable energy, and enhance the resilience of its power system.
