Greenvolt has begun building a 600 MW / 2.4 GWh battery energy storage system at Siedlce in Poland, one of the largest single storage projects in the country. The project follows a battery supply agreement signed with BYD Energy Storage in mid-2026.
The Siedlce project is part of Greenvolt’s broader Polish push, which includes 400 MW / 1.6 GWh of storage at Ełk and Turośń backed by a €218 million financing package from UniCredit, announced in August 2026. One of those systems is nearing completion while the other approaches full commercial operation.
Poland’s storage build-out is driven by a coal-heavy grid that is rapidly integrating wind and solar, creating strong flexibility demand. The country has become a focal point for four-hour lithium-ion systems sized to shift renewable output into evening demand and provide capacity services.
For C&I project owners, Poland’s grid-scale activity is a leading indicator: as utility-scale flexibility scales up, the market infrastructure for storage — connection rules, revenue stacking and financing — matures, which in turn lowers barriers for behind-the-meter commercial systems.
