Poland and Romania Lead Regional Deployment
Poland is increasingly identified as a highly attractive energy storage market, driven by a rising share of renewables, coal phase-out, and high price volatility. Swedish energy company Tavion recently secured €50 million to construct three battery parks in Poland with a combined capacity of 69 MW, with groundbreaking planned for September 2026. These projects are part of a wider 1.7 GW pipeline in the country.
In Romania, Econergy has brought its 70 MW / 141 MWh Parau 1 battery system in Brașov into commercial operation. Furthermore, Sweden-based Repono acquired a 202 MW/404 MWh ready-to-build standalone BESS project in Arges County, which holds an existing grid connection contract with Transelectrica at the 220 kV Pitești Substation.
Czech Republic and Latvia Advance Hybrid and Grid Projects
The Czech Republic is accelerating market mechanisms for energy storage and flexibility. Lisiner recently deployed a 7.5 MW/25 MWh grid-scale storage system in Moravia, supported by non-recourse debt financing from Česká spořitelna, utilizing the TRITON-C5016 containerized system.
In Latvia, a €200 million syndicated loan was secured for the Latvian phase of Utilitas Wind's Lode hybrid park, which includes a 60 MW / 240 MWh BESS. The broader cross-border project with Estonia is supported by EU Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy grants, underscoring the European Union's commitment to regional storage integration and cross-border infrastructure development.
