Poland has emerged as one of the most dynamic energy storage markets in Central Eastern Europe, with over 37,000 residential systems installed and 7GW expected online by 2030.
Poland Energy Storage Market Overview
The Polish energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by rising electricity prices and supportive government policies. By 2024, over 37,000 residential energy storage systems had been installed across the country, with a total capacity of 550 MWh.
Government Support: Mój Prąd 6.0 Program
The sixth round of Poland's Mój Prąd rebate scheme has been extended to a record PLN 1.85 billion (approximately €511 million), up from an original PLN 400 million. This program received over 121,000 applications, with 60% requesting energy storage installations - a dramatic increase from just 4% in earlier versions.
Commercial and Grid-Scale Development
Poland is seen as one of the most established markets in the whole Central Eastern Europe region, with 7GW of storage capacity expected online by 2030. In December 2024's power market auction alone, approximately 2.5 GW of storage capacity was contracted - a 44% jump over the 1.7 GW contracted in 2023.
Through power market auctions for 2021-2028, contracts for energy storage with a total capacity of 9.5 GW have already been secured.
Solar Energy Integration
According to the Energy Market Agency, Poland's installed solar capacity reached approximately 20.7 GW by the end of November 2024 - a 28% year-on-year increase. Projections suggest up to 45 GW of photovoltaics and about 18 GW of offshore wind could be operating within the next decade.
What This Means for Businesses
For businesses looking to invest in energy storage solutions, Poland offers:
- Strong government subsidy programs
- Growing market demand
- Established regulatory framework
- Integration with the expanding solar sector
Strong Energy is well-positioned to support both residential and commercial energy storage installations across Poland.
