Energa to build largest hybrid storage facility in Poland

WSE-listed power utility Energa along with Japanese Hitachi and power grid operator PSE will build the largest hybrid battery energy storage system in Poland. The facility will have a storage capacity of approx. 27 MWh and power capacity of approx. 6 MW. “Collaboration with experienced partners and global innovation leaders will result in intelligent network management, which will improve the reliability of energy supply. This is an innovative undertaking but very important for the country's energy security,” Energa CEO Daniel Obajtek said. The facility will be built on a wind farm in Bystra, owned by Energa and will be used to manage the electricity generated there. The storage is set to be completed by 2019.
