Poland’s state-owned energy company PGE Group has announced a tender for the construction of a battery energy storage facility in Żarnowiec, which is likely to become the largest in the country once completed.
The facility will have a capacity of 263 MW and a storage capacity of at least 900 MWh. It will be located near the Żarnowiec pumped storage plant, owned and operated by PGE Group.
Dariusz Marzec, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, called the project one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in Europe.
“Soon, given the pace of the energy transformation process, managing excess energy from renewable sources will be one of the key challenges facing the national energy system. As the largest energy company, we meet these needs and consistently make investments in energy storage,” he said.
By 2030, the company wants to have at least 800 MW of new energy storage capacity. In January PGE Group announced that it had obtained connection conditions for a battery storage facility with a capacity of 400 MW in Gryfino, north-west Poland.
