Legal framework for the development of energy storage facilities

The objective of this reform is to facilitate the development of electricity storage by creating the necessary legal framework. For this purpose, the amendment of the Energy Law introduces an exemption from the tariff obligation, ensures that no double network charges are imposed on storage facilities, implements a partial exemption from fees for connecting the storage facility to the grid and an exemption from the obligations to present certificates of origin and to pay certain fees with regards to stored electricity. It also ensures a tariff framework for storage that is non-discriminatory and cost-reflective. With these measures, the amended law removes regulatory barriers to the development of electricity storage in Poland.

The reform entered into force in 2021.
