Eiffel partners with Ergy to accelerate BESS investments in Poland
Under the partnership, Eiffel Investment Group will provide long-term infrastructure investment expertise, while Ergy will originate, develop, arrange financing, construct and manage battery storage projects, drawing on its experience in the Polish renewable energy market.
Eiffel Investment Group and Ergy have announced a partnership to invest in BESS in Poland. The collaboration begins with the 46 MW / 184 MWh Baczyna project and reflects the partners’ ambition to build a portfolio of battery storage assets supporting Poland’s evolving electricity system and energy transition, according to a media release.
The first project under the partnership, Baczyna, is a fully permitted, ready-to-build BESS located in western Poland. Commercial operations are expected to begin in 2028. The project has secured all major permits, grid connection rights and a long-term capacity market contract.
Under the partnership, Eiffel Investment Group will provide long-term infrastructure investment expertise, while Ergy will originate, develop, arrange financing, construct and manage battery storage projects, drawing on its experience in the Polish renewable energy market. Beyond Baczyna, the partners will consider acquiring additional battery storage projects as demand for flexibility continues to grow across the Polish electricity system, the media release said.
“Poland is one of the continent’s most dynamic energy markets, and this investment reflects our conviction that storage infrastructure will play a central role in its transformation,” Zofia Szewczuk, Head of Poland at Eiffel Investment Group, said. “We are pleased to partner with Ergy to support the development of this market over the long term.”
“Ergy supports both local and international investors in delivering their renewable projects in Poland. Co-investing alongside our investors is an important milestone in our growth. By combining international capital with our local expertise, we aim to deliver projects that strengthen the electricity system and support a greener energy mix,” Michał Lewczuk, Partner at Ergy, said. “Eiffel’s decision to invest in Polish flexibility could not come at a better time.”
This operation benefits from support from the European Union under the InvestEU Fund.
