About 11 GW of further projects hold capacity market contracts for 2028-2030, and the first large plants closed bank financing in 2026. The capacity market now pays new storage much less, so bankability depends on long-term contracts with traders: tolling, or a floor with profit sharing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tnb-meta\"><span>By <b>Dima V.

Pumped hydro is not included in this figure.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3 class=\"tnb-h\">How much energy storage will Poland build by 2030?<\/h3><p>About 11 GW of new storage holds capacity contracts from the auctions for 2028-2030, and NFO\u015aiGW supported 172 projects with 3.9 GW to be commissioned by the end of 2028. Some projects appear in both programmes.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3 class=\"tnb-h\">Is battery storage profitable in Poland?<\/h3><p>Poland has high price spreads and well-paid reserves, so market revenues are attractive. Banks value them conservatively, so returns for an investor depend on contracts: a capacity contract, tolling or a guaranteed floor.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3 class=\"tnb-h\">What is a tolling agreement for a battery?<\/h3><p>The offtaker, usually a trader or utility, pays the owner a fixed fee for access to the battery&#8217;s power and capacity, decides when to charge and discharge, and takes the price risk. An example is the 10-year agreement between Statkraft and Greenvolt Power for 400 MW.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3 class=\"tnb-h\">Why is the capacity market no longer the main basis for financing?<\/h3><p>The derating factor for storage fell from 95% in the auctions for 2027-2028 to 13.39% in the auction for 2030.
