Eastern Europe s photovoltaic energy storage policy

The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU's current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.

If current growth rates continue, CEE could surpass Western Europe's total solar energy production by 2029. Meanwhile, the utility-scale storage market in the region is set to increase fivefold by 2030, demonstrating the immense scale of the opportunity to be captured.

The Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe recently concluded, gathering key industry stakeholders to discuss the rapid growth of energy storage in the region. The event underscored the importance of factors like grid integration, government support, and energy security in driving this expansion.

The SOLARTECH team has completed more than 100 photovoltaic power plants with a total capacity of more than 230MW for the largest investors in renewable energy in Poland. At present, SOLARTECH is implementing photovoltaic projects with a total capacity of more than 150 MW.

However, one of the most pressing challenges for the CEE region remains the effective integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, into the existing grid. This is where energy storage solutions are becoming increasingly vital.

The 5th edition of the Large Scale Solar Central Eastern Europe Summit is returning to Warsaw this November. The Summit provides a vital platform for fostering critical collaborations between the leading developers, IPPs, utilities, investors, and technology providers driving solar deployment and innovation across the entire region.
