The programme has a total budget of $1. 02 billion and aims to improve grid stability and renewable energy use. Eligible projects must involve storage systems of at least 2 MW / 4 MWh, including battery containers, inverters, transformers, and related installations. . Poland's power sector is transitioning away from coal, with the share of coal-fired power generation in the country expected to fall from 90% in 2010 to 55% in 2025 and further down to 20% by 2030, according to the S&P Global Energy Planning Case released in January. In a landmark move announced on December 19, 2025, the country has awarded public support to a massive portfolio of 172 large-scale battery storage. . The Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment has finalised this landmark subsidy scheme, targeting over 5 GWh of new storage capacity by 2028. There are already over 1 million micro-PV installations connected to the grid. .
