The projects are being acquired from DRI, with one 112MW / 518MWh project in Kozienice already acquired and ready for construction by Actis, and the other – a 132MW / 623MWh project in Trzebinia – signed and set to complete once operational.

These projects will represent some of the first utility-scale BESS projects to reach commercial operation in Poland, with a total 244MW of power capacity and 1,141MWh of four-hour plus duration energy storage. Both assets benefit from a secured revenue base through a 17-year inflation-indexed capacity market contract.

Building on Actis’ acquisition of Klara Renewables – a 171MW onshore wind portfolio with approximately 275MW of hybridisation potential, signed in July 2026 – these two assets support Actis’ integrated approach, combining renewable power generation with BESS to create a system-level portfolio that aims to mitigate volatility and maximise value capture across the power system while increasing Poland’s grid flexibility and renewable energy integration capability.

With Poland expected to retire approximately 18GW of coal while adding 50GW of renewables and 14GW of gas capacity by 2040, the country’s structural transition away from coal offers significant growth opportunities for assets like BESS, particularly given electricity demand is forecast to more than double by 2050 due to industrial and transport electrification and economic growth. This transformation is underpinned by attractive financial mechanisms, including a strong capacity market providing long-term and stable cashflows, alongside robust corporate PPA demand.
