State-owned power company PGE Group has obtained regulatory approval to build a 200MW/820MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Poland. The project, called CHEST (Commercial Hybrid Energy Storage), will target a capacity of no less than 200MW and a power output of 820MWh, making it one of the largest in Europe, PGE Group said.
Another notable energy storage project in Poland is gigafactory company Northvolt’s energy storage system (ESS) assembly and production facility, which recently bagged a share of €1.8 billion in EU funding. State-owned power company PGE Group has obtained regulatory approval to build a 200MW/820MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Poland.
The nominal capacity of the storage facility will be about 981 MWh, the achievable power in the discharge direction will be 262.2 MW, and in the charging direction -- 269.4 MW. The project has obtained the first promise of a concession for storing electricity in Poland and has a grid connection agreement.

The recent capacity market auctions have underscored the growing importance of battery energy storage systems (BESS) by new generation capacity market units, predominantly lithium-ion energy storage projects. Entrix’s entry into the Polish market is timely, offering investors a proven and reliable partner to navigate this evolving sector.
While the outlook for large batteries in Poland appears strong in 2025, Clean Horizon warns that this opportunity may not endure. Utility-scale storage can quickly saturate ancillary services markets, leading to a rapid decrease in opportunities for front-of-the-meter batteries.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
