Funding and Projects
Iberdrola Renewables Polska has secured €44 million from the Polish National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. This funding is allocated for the construction of three battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Poland, with a combined capacity of 160 megawatts (MW).
Project Details
The projects include the Pniewnik 1 (38 MW) and Pniewnik 2 (42 MW) facilities located in the Mazovia region, as well as the Zushi project (80 MW) in the Lower Silesia region. These systems are designed to store electrical energy as chemical energy during periods of low demand and discharge it when needed, such as during peak consumption or when renewable energy generation is low.
Energy Storage and Electrification
Iberdrola is advancing energy storage technologies in Poland as a key enabler of electrification. The company’s project portfolio in the country currently totals 940 MW and includes a dozen BESS projects across various regions.
