Poland Secures Massive Tolling Agreement
In a major milestone for the Polish market, Statkraft has signed a 10-year tolling agreement with Greenvolt Power for two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects: Ełk (200 MW/800 MWh) and Turośń Kościelna (200 MW/800 MWh). The combined 400 MW/1.6 GWh agreement grants Statkraft the right to optimize battery charging and discharging across energy and flexibility markets. Greenvolt, which secured €153 million in bridge facilities and a €65 million guarantee facility from UniCredit, has already inaugurated the Turośń Kościelna project, which will access Poland's capacity market starting in 2028.
Nordic and German Project Expansions
Investment is also flowing into the Nordic region. Mirova announced a €65 million equity investment in two BESS projects developed by Ingrid Capacity. The 45MW/90MWh Pedersöre project in Finland is ready to build, while the 100MW/200MWh Vaggeryd project in Sweden is expected to reach ready-to-build status in 2027. In Germany, PNE and Enercon are developing the Beerfelde energy park in Brandenburg, combining a 98MW wind farm and a 32MW/70MWh BESS. Furthermore, ADS-TEC Energy is advancing the 1 GW / 4 GWh SKM large-scale battery storage project in southern Germany, which has been designated by the government as being of overwhelming public interest.
Commercial and Industrial Growth
The commercial and industrial sector is also showing strong momentum. ADS-TEC Energy reported an order backlog of €20.3 million as of June 2026, with RFQs worth approximately €77.3 million for 530 MWh of storage capacity. Additionally, Jinko Energy Storage signed a 220MWh hybrid energy storage project cluster in Germany, utilizing its Tera liquid cooling system to integrate green power and market-oriented storage.
