Growth Prospects
in Poland
Energy Storage and Wind Farms – Foundations of the Future
Energy Storage Market
Poland’s energy-storage market has solid foundations and exceptional growth potential. This development is driven by the expansion of renewable energy sources, where the rapid increase in photovoltaic and wind-farm capacity generates a growing need for system stabilisation tools, making storage a key element of energy-system integration.
Government regulations and support programmes, such as Mój Prąd and the planned amendments to the Energy Law, create a favourable investment environment. Rising demand and the increasing share of renewables in the energy mix require stabilisation solutions, which in turn drive demand for battery-storage systems.
Financing from funds, institutions and new business models (e.g., flexibility services) additionally supports market development. Technological progress in lithium-ion and hydrogen-related solutions is opening new business scenarios, while climate goals and pressure to reduce CO₂ emissions further stimulate sector growth.
Investment Insights.
The energy-storage market in Poland has stable foundations and long-term potential. Crucial success factors will include monitoring regulatory developments, continued technological progress, and the creation of strong local partnerships.
Onshore and Offshore Wind – A Growing National Opportunity
Energy Potential
Ongoing and planned developments will significantly increase the share of wind energy in Poland’s power mix.
Supportive Regulation
Recent liberalisation of distance regulations and an improved auction system are fostering the development of new wind capacity.
Technological Progress
Larger, more efficient turbines continue to enhance the economic viability of wind projects.
Market Outlook: Poland’s Wind Sector Remains Highly Attractive
Both onshore and offshore wind continue to form a cornerstone of Poland’s path toward climate neutrality. New business models such as microgrids, alongside stronger community partnerships, are improving project acceptance. However, competitive dynamics, site constraints and evolving regulations require active management to sustain long-term performance.
Photovoltaic Farms
– The Fastest-Growing Segment in the Sector
Photovoltaics represent one of the key pillars of ASI’s investment strategy, serving as the most scalable and cost-efficient source of zero-emission energy. The development of PV projects is supported by stable regulatory frameworks, declining CAPEX costs, and continuous improvements in technological efficiency.
A crucial element of ASI’s strategy is asset hybridisation, which involves integrating photovoltaics with energy storage systems (BESS) and other renewable energy sources. This approach enables maximised utilisation of grid connections, reduced network-related risks, and improved economic performance of projects.
Photovoltaics also serve as the primary energy source for Power-to-Hydrogen models, aligning with ASI’s long-term strategy to build decentralised energy hubs (PV + BESS + H₂) addressing industrial decarbonisation needs and enhancing system stability.
Key Success Factors for PV:
Hybrid Projects – The Future of Energy
Photovoltaics
Daytime energy production
Energy Storage
Grid stabilisation and distribution
Wind Power
Night-time energy generation
Hybridisation of technologies is becoming a natural direction for investors, as it increases supply stability.
The complementary nature of different energy sources minimises production fluctuations, while cost synergies reduce CAPEX and operating expenses. The flexibility of hybrid systems allows the technological configuration to be tailored to local conditions. Regulatory support, including simplified procedures and subsidy schemes, further enhances the attractiveness of hybrid projects, which align with climate goals and ESG expectations.
Green hydrogen – an energy revolution
Electrolysers and Hydrogen Outlook
The production of green hydrogen powered by renewable energy is one of the most promising development directions in the energy sector. Growing demand from industry, transport and the power sector is increasing the need for hydrogen, while climate goals related to economy-wide decarbonisation require the deployment of innovative hydrogen solutions.
Synergies with renewable energy make it possible to utilise surplus electricity and convert it into a valuable, zero-emission energy carrier. Technological progress — including declining electrolyser costs and rising efficiency — significantly improves the profitability of hydrogen projects.
Poland has strong potential for developing hydrogen hubs that could become one of the pillars of the country’s energy transition and attract foreign investment.
