The Portuguese independent power producer Greenvolt Power has been awarded 1.2 GW of capacity for six battery energy storage systems (BESS) in an auction held by the Polish power transmission grid operator PSE (Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne) in December 2023. The company secured over 70% of the total capacity awarded to BESS technology, obtaining 1.2 GW of capacity out of the 1.4 GW bided. The contracts cover 17 years of capacity payment obligation and establish that the service will be remunerated at a fixed (CPI indexed) price of PLN 244.90/kW/year (€56.3/kW/year) during the entirety of the contract periods. These projects represent the largest BESS portfolio to ever clear an auction in Poland.
The Greenvolt Group has utility scale wind, solar, and BESS projects in 15 countries and also operates in the important segments of distributed generation, and the production of energy from sustainable biomass.
