PGE Group launches 400 MW two-hour battery storage tender in Poland
PGE Group has launched a tender for a 400 MW/2-hour battery energy storage system in Gryfino, Poland, expanding the state-owned company’s national storage capacity to 800 MWh.
Remedies for PV curtailment in Poland
Solar curtailment is on the rise in Poland, with around 600 GWh of PV capacity reduced during the first six months of 2025. The Warsaw-based Institute for Renewable Energy (IEO) suggests one solution is to support the electrification of Poland’s heating sector with the surplus of PV power.
Lyten to buy Northvolt assets with $200 million for BESS push in Europe
Lyten has raised an additional $200 million to accelerate its efforts to become a main player in Europe for its battery energy storage systems (BESS), following its earlier acquisition of a plant in Gdansk, Poland.
Poland allocates 1.67 GW of PV in renewables auctions
Figures from Poland’s Energy Regulatory Authority (URE) show that solar accounted for 178 of the 181 successful bids awarded under the country’s latest renewables auctions. Auctions covering hydroelectric power plants, agricultural biogas plants, and biomass went unresolved due to a lack of valid offers.
Poland added 637 MW of solar during Q1
Poland’s solar capacity neared 22 GW at the end of March, according to figures from the country’s Institute of Renewable Energy. There are currently 532 solar projects with a capacity equalling 950 MW with valid building permits.
Solar curtailment on the rise in Poland
Curtailment of renewable energy in Poland rose 36% in the first five months of 2025, threatening the financial viability of solar plants as operators face long delays and reduced compensation for lost output.
Poland pilots solar arrays near major highway
Poland has installed solar arrays along the S5 expressway as part of a project to cut infrastructure operating costs. Surplus electricity will feed the grid or supply electric vehicle charging stations.
The Hydrogen Stream: Mitsubishi Power completes hydrogen blending project
Georgia Power and Mitsubishi Power have completed a 50% hydrogen fuel blend trial on an advanced-class gas turbine at Plant McDonough-Atkinson in the US state of Georgia, while Proteus Energy and Symbio France have developed a modular 75 kW hydrogen fuel cell system for hybrid and harbor vessels.
Water-based photovoltaics reach global capacity of 21.18 GW
An international research team has developed an index-based remote sensing method to see trends in the global development of water-based PV. It has found that China currently accounts for 80% of the global total deployed capacity.
Hibridación renovable: el primer paso hacia una red más firme bajo los criterios técnicos de IDAE
En este pv magazine webinar organizado de la mano de Jema Energy, Jon Ander López Ibarra, Product Manager de BESS, hablará de aquellos retos a nivel de red, de la hibridación de proyectos renovables, y de la optimización económica del almacenamiento.
